I know I'm not the only one who has fond memories of tearing into a suspiciously correctly sized box on Christmas to gleefully find a Nintendo console. This year, I'm sure there are thousands of kids doing just as I did on Christmas eve: scoping out the boxes under the tree and just slightly lifting certain shaped ones to check their weight. Since ours is already hooked up to the TV, instead of snooping under the tree, I ge

Awesomenauts, the 2-D side scrolling MOBA, has announced an update that will be released in early 2016.

The update will bring three new characters: time-travelling inventor Professor M. Yoolip, hyperbike-riding bounty hunter Chucho

For those of you who prefer controllers to keyboards, today a is a great day. Finally, Microsoft officially introduced Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 support for the Xbox Wireless Adapter. When the dongle was released in October there was only support for Windows 10 - because loads of us were super keen on that update (and all of the auto ones that would come after), right?  Now that there is support for 7 and 8.1, we don’t mind the $25

Earlier, on their Facebook, OtherSide Entertainment posted a link to a site: https://othersidetease.com/b645gt.php . Following the link takes you to a mostly black page with only an ominous count down and a glitchy animated ’s’. Of course gamers weren’t going to leave it there and a user at RPGCodex dug into the source code and posted a confirmation of what we all were hoping for: System Shock 3.

Something great is happening this week. Though, yes, our American team members are pretty stoked to eat their weight in turkey and stuffing, what we are all really excited about this week is the end of US patent 5718632.  While that may read as just a bunch of numbers, the patent they represent has had a profound impact on gamers. Filed on November 27th, 1995 by Namco - this patent stopped all other game devs from including interactive
