ZOMGPlay's Review of Crimsonland, a new steam release by 10Ton's "10Tons latest release is none-other-than their debut Steam title, Crimsonland, which is a high definition remake of their classic top-down-shooter with the same name, but after 11 years what exactly has changed, well judging from initial screenshots not a lot but digger deeper and youll find a classic title that has been overhauled for the current market."

News::Video: Metal Gear Solid's trademark weirdness returns in The Phantom Pain


Don't send a sheep back to Mother Base with the Fulton recovery system during a sandstorm -- that's my main takeaway from this Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain impressions video.


Max got to see the same extended presentation that Steven wrote about yesterday and if this game can come together into a cohesive whole, Kojima's going to have some real happy fans.


For now, I can't stop watching that trailer. Must've seen it six or seven times by now.

News::Video: Smash Bros. is pretty much what fans want


After playing Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS at E3 this week, Bill says the new installment is for the most part exactly what fans want. He tried out several characters during his hands-on but chose the Wii Fit Trainer first, like you do.


While the match is being set up in the 3DS version of the game, once you pick your character and confirm, you can practice against the sandbag while waiting for everyone else to select theirs. Nice little touch. Also, if you hadn't heard already, the Home-run Contest mini-game is back!


Yup, going to buy both.

The Moment That Defined E3 For Me


There's a PlayStation mural outside of E3. It features tons of PlayStation mainstays in boats, a parody of a famous painting of George Washington. I was scrutinizing it with a friend, picking out who was who. "It's Infamous guy! It's Claire from Resident Evil! It's... some basketball player!" Then a security guard walked up. "I only recognize one of those characters," she said.

News::Facebook CEO Wants to Sell Oculus Rift at 'Lowest Cost Possible'

VRFocus - Oculus VR hasn't addressed the pricing of its eventual consumer version of the Oculus Rift virtual reality (VR) headset all that much. That's partly because we're still a ways out from the launch of that product, but it's also to do with the fact that the company has managed to keep its two development kits, DK1 and the upcoming DK2, at relatively low price points, going for $300 USD and $350 respectively. It's an encouraging sign that the consumer hardware won't end up costing too much, despite the quality of the components and technology. In fact, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg reportedly wants to see the device 'at the lowest cost possible'.

News::E3 2014: Can The Division Live Up To The Hype?

These past few years Ubisoft has closed their E3 show with an impressive game that generated a lot of excitement. In 2012 we saw Watch Dogs, last year it was The Division, and this year they ended with Rainbow Six: Siege. Each of these games was very impressive upon the initial reveal and looked to be doing interesting and innovative new things. However, now that Watch Dogs has come out looking much less visually impressive than originally seen and revealing itself to pretty much be nothing more than a decent urban open world game, many are questioning whether Ubisoft games can be trusted to turn out as good as they initially seem.
