This Killer Metro: Last Light ‘Trailer’ Is More Like A Short Film
Video game trailers can be crass, they can be dumb, and they can be misleading. They can also be pretty damned cool. This trailer for Metro: Last Light is pretty damned cool.
The Internet Went Crazy Over These Glitchy And Artistic GIFs This Week
The reveal of the Xbox One might have overshadowed content on the internet this week, but that certainly wasn’t the case for the craftiest of internet denizens who convert anything worthy into an animated GIF.

Community Review — Metro: Last Light
Being a new parent and all, most of my gaming has been done on handhelds over the past few months, which means that I’ve missed out on games like Metro: Last Light — games that might not have directly been on my radar, but may have checked out had I a spare moment or three. I’m keen to hear your thoughts on this one: should I be investing time in this game?
Former THQ Pres: Metro Makers The ‘Jamaican Bobsledders’ Of Developers
In the Olympics, the Jamaican bobsledding team is famed for beating out countries who had a number of advantages over the Jamaican team — like winter coats and bobsledding tracks for training.

The games have a distinct musical sensibility, as the grim men and women surviving in the irradiated Moscow Metro carry on the musical traditions of… well, mostly of folk guitar and heavy metal. Cool by me.
