News::Madness Combat rises from the dead with a promising new game trailer

The fact that you had to download the entire file before you could hit play, or that most videos didnt even have playback controls didn't stop classics like Numa Numa and All Your Base becoming viral sensations that are famous even today. Well, one of the sites more famous and gorier animation series, known simply as Madness or Madness Combat is getting a new videogame, as a proper 3D brawler/shooter thats slightly reminiscent of popular indie titles like Hotline Miami.

News::Are MMO Quest Chains Dead?

IGN: I spent lots of time recently knee-deep in the alpha for World of Warcraft's Warlords of Draenor expansion, and I found it a different beast from the game I'd fallen in love with almost 10 years ago. It looked the same, it sounded the same, but I never quite escaped the feeling that I was watching an actor trot about in a famous person's uniform instead of seeing the legend himself.

News::ESO's Balancing Act

CCC Says: "My initial impression of The Elder Scrolls: Online was an awestruck one. Though not a freeform open-world like Skyrim and the previous single-player adventures, the zones were vast, gorgeous, and bustling with activity. The serene music as I sauntered through woodland areas and arid deserts had that perfect pitch that has followed every game under The Elder Scrolls banner.

Additionally, there's a spot of further recruiting for My Little Dealspwny - the only Destiny clan you'll ever need.
