‘BioShock Infinite’ Songbird Plushie Is Adorable, Up For Bid On Ebay For Charity
DAWWWWWWWW!
I know you guys are busy swinging through BioShock Infinite‘s Columbia, but if you could just take a moment, Alix over at Arixystix Creations has put together a neat little figure: a one of a kind Songbird plushie that’s been stuffed to the robotic feathers not with hate, but with love.
‘Metal Gear Solid 5’ Trailer Debuts, Doesn’t Make Any Sense
Guys, it’s a flaming unicorn-pegasus. From a farm.
Maybe it’s because I didn’t grow up with a PlayStation or any of the Metal Gear Solid games, but I have literally zero tolerance for Hideo Kojima’s nonsense. I haven’t even played the games, I just watch other people do it. My roommate in college? I watched him play Metal Gear Solid 2 up until the moment where they explained the entire thing with the Presidents. What? We’d seen part of this Phantom Pain trailer during the Spike VGA Awards and that seemed cohesive if not a little mindless. Now, we have the full thing.
‘XCOM’ Shooter Is Now ‘The Bureau’ Apparently, Confusing To Far Fewer People
Well, this is going to make a lot more sense.
Oh, thank God. When 2K Marin’s XCOM sixties-era tactical shooter was unveiled in 2010, it had all of us X-COM fans in a tizzy. Here was this game with weird tar-like or geometry-based aliens (or both?) involving parallel dimensions and other madness masquerading as a reimagination of the classic franchise. Our classic franchise. Well, if these newly-registered domains are any indication, 2K may have just made the smartest decision of the year.
‘Shackleton Crater’ Kickstarter Stopped, Moon Colonization Game Needs New Way Into Space
Looks like our dreams of colonizing the moon are pretty far out, even in our fantasies.
Guys, I feel like I let you down here. I’d read about Shackleton Crater weeks ago, I’d even read Polygon’s lengthy piece profiling the game and its creator, EA co-founder Joe Ybarra. Hell, the studio is even local to the FEZ Palace. Through all that though, something about the game just didn’t click with me – or with gamers apparently. Developer Joe Got Game shut their $700,000 Kickstarter ask yesterday after only bringing in $27,000 with two weeks left to go. It’s only now that I feel I’m really getting the game.
Oculus Rift Plus Liquor Is A Special Kind Of Hell, Says Makers
Oculus presents its own set of issues, you don’t need to make those worse!
We’ll be getting our first hands-on experiences with Oculus Rift come E3 in June, but word is quickly spreading from those who have been using the recently-released development kits – of which Oculus has produced ten thousand – that VR might not be for everyone. So why make it worse?

Don’t worry, there are plenty of guns.

Plague, Inc. (Android) Review: Oh, To Destroy Humanity!
It’s fun to see your terrible creation spread across the land, but this zoomed view is useless beyond the pregame.
I’m not sure how I missed the October release date of Plague, Inc. on Android, but I’m more than making up for it now, right? Trust me, had I known, I would have let you know sooner! Sure, the game isn’t a new concept – having been done by Pandemic 2 in Flash, the version I played years ago – but between some clever showmanship and an incredibly replayable design that fits well on my mobile (except for the battery draining part), you haven’t had this much fun with a virus simulator before. Did I mention it’s free?
GDC 13: ‘Star Trek’ Given Extra Development Time To Match Film, Better Not Be Garbage
To boldly go and such.
The Game Developers Conference, currently ongoing in San Francisco, isn’t a place for media like us to soak in the rays, you have to fight for the insight. This is a place for game developers to share the secrets and give talks after all. Still, Paramount was willing to deliver a little nugget of information in that their upcoming Star Trek game was given a full extra year development to match the release of the film. That’s a lot of faith in a game that, from casual glance, could be construed to be a cheap movie tie-in.
‘SimCity’ Bug Allows Urban Planners To Make Stratospheric Highways
I wouldn’t drive on it.
Unless you’ve been under a rock for the past few weeks, you’d know that SimCity has plenty of big issues left to resolve, like the fact that poor AI undoes your city’s endgame because braindead drivers choke up your city, preventing many important services from taking effect, or the fact that you can’t kick players out of your region, or restart cities, on and on. Well, at least this bug is fun.
New ‘Watch_Dogs’ Trailer Will Make A Believer Of You
They’ll be watching you. You’ll be watching them.
We’ve been excited about Ubisoft’s new surveillance thriller Watch_Dogs since they unveiled it at E3 last year and this latest media makes me even giddier.
