DayZ Short Film Is, Surprise, Not A Feel-Good Movie


DayZ is a game about the zombie apocalypse, survival, and permadeath. It is also—thanks to players—about trolling, griefing, and the truest, douchiest darkness of the human heart. Bitter enemies become the truest of friends... until it stops being convenient.

News::Continue Play's 2014 Game Awards

"Welcome back! Now that the last of the Christmas leftovers have been eaten, and our New Year hangovers are naught but a dim (and painful) memory, were kicking off 2015 with our second annual Game Awards. What really impressed us in 2014? What was the biggest letdown? And which developer will walk away with our Developer of the Year award? Of course, 2014 wasnt all good news; while it was certainly a memorable year for our beloved hobby, it wasnt always memorable for the right reasons. Whether it was female developers receiving death threats from a bunch of idiots, a litany of games which didnt work properly at release, or an avalanche of rehashed remasters, sometimes we were left wondering whether there was anything left to feel good about. Then Dragon Age: Inquisition came out, and reminded us just why we love gaming in the first place."

News::These Assassin's Creed Mega Bloks were 'designed with adult collectors in mind'

Brett told us about the Assassin's Creed Mega Bloks only to totally leave us hanging now that the toys are viewable online. Never did trust that guy. Makedonski? Obviously a phony last name.


Anyway, yes, Ubisoft has posted images and details of the Construction Sets, which it says are "designed with adult collectors in mind" (but will be tempting to kids, all the same). They range from $9.99 to $49.99, in the case of the Black Flag ship, and are now available for purchase.


Toys based on mature properties are a little weird but, come to think of it, Kenner's Mantis Alien was my favorite possession growing up. Still would be to this day had I not lost the damn thing.

Anyway, we took like a solid minute to remember Tyrion Lannister's name, so in case you're wondering if this video will irritate you, the answer is "definitely."

News::Koei Tecmo delays Bladestorm: Nightmare two weeks for some reason

I was really just looking for any reason to talk about that cyclops again, but yes, there's been a short delay for Bladestorm: Nightmare , the expanded release of Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 3. Koei Tecmo has settled on March 17, 2015 for North America and March 20, 2015 for Europe. Why the extra couple weeks?


The company didn't specify, actually. So take that as your cue to dream up silly explanations, if you're feeling creative. Look to the numerous screenshots of the game for inspiration.
