Hooray: Skulls Of The Shogun Is Escaping The Clutches Of Windows 8

To the disappointment of many, the PC version of 17-BIT’s weird and enjoyable RTS Skulls of the Shogun was tethered to Windows 8 upon release. If you wanted to play it on PC, you’d have to upgrade your OS. No one wanted to do that. Thankfully, the game’s finally breaking free.


What Did You Think Of This Season Of Game Of Thrones?

I know, I know. The season ended last week. But seeing as how we were knee-deep in E3, I didn’t get a chance to watch the finale until much later in the week. So, I thought I’d do our normal post-GoT off-topic a week late.


At Least Two Sex Hotlines Survived The Last Of Us’ Apocalypse

There are a good number of enjoyable easter eggs hidden in The Last of Us, but this one takes the grand prize. At one point in the game, Joel will come across a couple of phone numbers for “pest control.” But they’re not actually numbers for pest control hotlines… they’re phone sex hotlines.


This Roguelike FPS Is Basically Binding Of Isaac Meets Quake

Check out this video demonstration of Tower of Guns, one of the coolest surprises at the Indiecade booth during E3.


The Hottest Booth Cars Of E3 2013

Sure, E3 is a place where you can check out the latest video games and video-game hardware. But we know what all those randy young convention-goers really want to see — the sexy, curvalicious eye-candy spicing up the booths on the expo floor.


Tips For Playing The Last Of Us

Naughty Dog’s much-anticipated action/horror game The Last of Us is fairly straightforward: Keep moving and try not to die. But between the various upgrade trees, the open-ended combat and the crafting system, we thought it would be helpful to offer some tips.


A Video To Show You What Playing The Last Of Us Is All About

Sure, I’ve written a lot of words about the terrific new PS3 game The Last of Us. But I haven’t really gotten to show you the game. That’s largely because, doubtless in a fit of spoiler-phobia, Sony put draconian restrictions on the amount of pre-release video footage they allowed the press to show. Those restrictions lift today, as the game has been officially released.


Up Close And Oh-So-Personal With The PlayStation 4 Controller

At Sony’s E3 booth, you can’t get to the console itself, but the controller is just hanging out, waiting for people to play around with it. So that’s just what we did.


Sony’s Entire E3 Press Conference In 4.5 Excellent Minutes

Sony’s E3 press conference was a heck of a lot of fun. It was also very long. Maybe you wish it was a little shorter, but no less fun? Well then, I’ve got just the thing for you.


The Division’s Most Interesting Idea Is Happening On An iPad

The neatest thing about Ubisoft’s just-revealed The Division wasn’t the graphics (they’re fine) or the guns (they shoot stuff) or even the intelligent grenades (they roll around and blow up). It was the way the game works with an iPad.
