Reminder: Alvin and Chipmunks here to kill my childhood

Here’s a little video reminder thatAlvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwreckedis coming to theaters and that there is a game based on said violation of nostalgia. Said game is available in stores now. It’s particularly egregious in the case of the Chipmunks, seeing as my parents already had to watch while we stuck sunglasses and an oversized shirt on Alvin. Now that they’re computer generated, I don’t even begin to understand how they must feel right now....

Sega really should revisit Alien: Isolation for VR

‘Dreams can come true,’ says the publisher Alien: Isolationin virtual reality — need I say more? Besides the inherent potential for terror in a game about evading a lone Xenomorph, even the more mundane sequences could work wonderfully in VR. Creative Assembly nailed the retro-futuristic aesthetic and I’d love to see those details up close and personal (when I’m not being chased). As you might recall, the studio prototyped an Oculus Rift version ofIsolationa couple of years ago....

Six things Torchlight II does better than Diablo III

When I received an invite to theTorchlight IIbeta, I let out a noise that can only be described as a “yelp.” It was a happy noise, one that I wasn’t quite sure I was capable of making. “This will be a great time killer untilDiablo IIIcomes out,” I thought. Well, now thatDiablo IIIis out, I still find myself booting up theTorchlight IIclient quite often. What was it that pulled me away from a game I had been anticipating for the better part of a decade?...

Being a kid is great but getting older and wiser has been an incredible experience: I can synthesize this feeling down to staying up all night eating ice cream and playing video games whenever I want, occasionally with my wife, who I get to see nearly every single day. Now I’ve added a kid to that equation and I truly understand what “family” means....

This long distance parry in Zelda: Breath of the Wild is amazing

Also, that long arrow shot GirKart64’s video shows just how far you can push the limits ofZelda: Breath of the Wild. Attempting to set a record for farthest parry, they walk all the way up a mountain, get in clear view of a Guardian, and let it rip. It’s not so much the act itself (you can spend plenty of time calculating the shot for a video, and the parry timing is fairly forgiving), but the fact that you can do it at all....
