A cold, jaded lady Warning: Minor plot/theme spoilers BioShock Infinite – Burial at Sea: Episode 1ends on an interesting note to say the least, and I’m curious to see what is in store for the next episode. When it was announced,Burial at Sea: Episode 2was pitched as being a survival-horror type piece of downloadable content, with the player controlling the story through the eyes of Elizabethherself. I sat downwith Ken Levine once againto pick his brain on this final endeavor in Rapture, and what it means for Elizabeth’s character....

Kotobukiya’s Protoman kit — or should I say “Rockman Bruce” kit (and try not to laugh heavily) — is unsurprisingly shaping up to be quite the hot piece of plastic. I’m usually of the opinion that scarves are anything but badass; Protoman’s magnificent accessory has me thinking otherwise. Pre-orders are now open for the kit, which is expected to release in late January. At the time of writing, only retailerAmiAmi has it, for a reasonable 2,170 yen....

I’m pretty bummed thatLa-Mulanaon WiiWare was canceled, though I fully understand why Nicalis can’t allocate any of its limited resources towards publishingLa-Mulanaon WiiWare. The good news is, thesubsuquent interviews that Nigoro(La-Mulana‘s developer) granted regarding the game’s cancelation has spurred renewed interest in the game. According to their official blog “Some publishers have offered just after the interview was posted on the websites.“ Having met some of the staff fromNigoro in person back in 2010, I know that their English is… not the best....

To infinity and beyond Now thatFinal Fantasy Remakeis out, I can talk more about it. But don’t fret! I’m not going to explicitly chat about the new ending and final chapter. Rather, I’m now able to speak to where the game could go with the next installment. Spoilers, but mostly for the originalFinal Fantasy VII, as I’m not talking about the ending of theRemakehere. Where could the next remake go from here?...

Two men enter, one man leaves The post-apocalyptic wasteland is no place to mess around. Whoever isn’t trying to kill you is probably trying to get you to kill someone else. Even then, there’s a fair chance they just might end up trying to kill you. Those are the perils Mad Max faces as he aims to simply survive: danger at every turn. Hand-to-hand, ranged, and vehicular combat are all present in this video, because the wasteland is absolutely ruthless....

It’s good! One of the first things I didwhen I plugged my Oculus Riftin was watch Henry. It was a bit weird because I had to watch it alone, then have my wife watch it after to share the experience together (something VR will have to address in family households eventually), but damn was it good. It tells the muted story of a hedgehog that just wants a friend, narrated by the calming Elijah Wood....

$20M up for grabs Regardless of you interest in sports, you’ve no doubt heard plenty of awful news surrounding this year’s summer Olympics. It’s not anything new, really, since plenty of dilapidated and/or corrupt cities have held the Olympics, distracting viewers with shiny things while people suffer mere miles away. Who wants to support that? Instead, why not watch people play videogames for millions of dollars?Dota 2‘s International, the “Super Bowl” of eSports, has just had its prize pool surpass $20 million, making it the only eSports tournament to ever reach that milestone....

13 mobile suits, baby Gundam Versusreleased on Friday and, as was partly expected, Namco also released part of the DLC without a word. To make matters worse, each DLC page only uses generic terms to describe what each downloadable suit comes with, and in some cases iswrongabout what content is exclusive to which character. For the sake of your wallet and time, we’ll be going through exactly what each mobile suit comes with, along with showing the two leaked ones....

Duke it out Yesterday’s EA Play Live event came and went without the expected reveal ofEA Sports UFC 4. Some promotional materials for July 11’s UFC 251 at Fight Island (which has a monster card, by the way)casually mentionthat a game announcement will happen during the Pay-Per-View. Waiting a little longer isn’t too much hassle considering we already know what we’re waiting for. I used this space three years ago to argue thatJoanna Jedrzejczyk should be on the cover ofEA Sports UFC 3....
