[Infa-Red voice] All the way up Ain’t no foolin’ here: You’re about to find out how big and floppy the dongs get. Or how small and cute-as-a-button they get. Dicks of all shapes and sizes, really. The world is your oyster. The second game is theSouls-like action RPGThe Surgefrom 2017. In his review, Ray wrote “The Surgeis a mix of interesting ideas and hiccups in execution. While there’s no doubt that it will resonate with a specific, hardcore audience, it’s missing just enough to alienate a generalized audience....

Go ninja go Epic Games has once again used the Game Developers Conference to show offUnreal Engine 4. In this new “Infiltrator” demonstration video, we’re shown a gritty world that, while I don’t think it showcases the visual fidelity of the engine as well as it could, does look like an interesting premise for a full game. According toEpic co-founder Mark Rein, the demo is running on a single, off-the-shelf NVIDIA GTX 680....

In my experience, one of the most commonanimequestions asked is, “how do you startthe Monogatari Series?” It’s a fair question, considering there’s a total of 14 different novels that received the anime treatment, all released out of chronological order, as series author Nisio Isin intended. In theory, like many other media, there are two ways to watch the Monogatari Series: the order in which it aired and the chronological order. The community vastly prefers one of those methods — I once said newcomers could pick how they’d like to watch the series during a panel and almost immediately received angry tweets....

Confession time. With PS4 slated for theend of the yearand the next Xbox like out around the same time, the curtain on the seventh home console generation is finally coming down. But while many of you are eagerly anticipating the new hardware, I’m only just now planning to jump on board with the HD incumbents. That’s right, I only own a Wii from the current console crop. Clearly mine is not a common arrangement, as most if not all of my peers have been spreading multi-platform love....

Yes, please Many made the reasonable prediction that with theclosing of Irrational Gamesearlier this year, we’d probably seen the last of theBioShockfranchise, at least for a bit. That line of thought may prove to have been a bit hasty, as 2K is already teasing somethingBioShock-related; we just don’t know what. Earlier today, 2K Games’ United Kingdom Twitter account sent out tweets 20 minutes apart of the above image. Thefirstone prompted “#Discuss,” while thesecondone read “Oooo, What COULD this mean?...

And it stars Rob Paulsen of Animaniacs and TMNT fame! I know you’re looking at that headline and saying to yourself, “What the hell isBravoman?” It’s a fairly unknown Namco arcade game from the 80s that was later ported to the TurboGrafx-16 — and incidentally is also available on the Wii Virtual Console. The titular star is a send-up of Japanese superheroes who can extend his bionic limbs like Stretch Armstrong....

According to a psychiatrist in the trial of Norwegian mass murdererAnders Breivik, if you’re over the age of 20 and you have played a videogame on your own, you’re abnormal. This was said during Breivik’s trial, where the court is wasting time in trying to find out whetherWorld of Warcraft, of all things, inspired him to go on a political murder spree. “We feel that playing a lot ofcomputergames gives the impression of a working cognitive function,” saidSynne Sørheim....

Okay, so maybe the soundtrack forBrütal Legendleaked a bit early. But for its official reveal, Double Fine and Electronic Arts rock it hard… by having designer Tim Schafer solve a Rubik’s Cube. Huh? Sure. Why not? Apparently some kind of Rubik’s Cube savant, Schafer races against someone reading the list of songs that will appear on the game’s soundtrack when it ships in Rocktober. Granted, there’s more than 100 songs — and the reader stumbles once or twice — but damned if Tim doesn’t kill it....
