A total of 14 machines were tested, and after crunching the numbers, they’re putting the Origin PC – Chronos on top (price TBA), followed by the Digital Storm – Bolt II ($2,584), and the Webhallen ($1,499)....

Oh hey, Nintendo Power is back as a podcast (how often remains to be seen, as evidently the community response will dictate that), and they just hadZelda: Breath of the Wilddirector Hidemaro Fujibayashi on to shed some light on the game’s various design decisions. One major thing that keeps coming up is the deliberate shrine and beast concept, which eschews the lengthy labyrinthine dungeon conceit of previous games — a staple of the series....

You can always find me in the drift I’ve been thinking a lot about ogres lately. Specifically, Cho’gall, the recently released two-headed character inHeroes of the Storm. As far as I know, he’s totally unique in the MOBA world as the only hero that requires two players to control him at the same time.

Inferior version confirmed 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doorswas without question my favorite game of 2010. The sequel,Virtue’s Last Reward, was pretty great as well, but the original was simply without equal. I recommend it to anyone I can, holding it as an example of videogame storytelling done right. Today, developer Spike-Chunsoft released aniOS portfor Japan.

Thats 11:00am GMT or 6:00am EST....

Needs more Eartha Kitt TheBatman: Arkham KnightSeason Pass has been one of the most disappointing passes I’ve seen to date. In addition to a bunch of skins, there’s a fewokaytobadDLCs so far, and two more are coming up. Catwoman’s Revenge is set to debut this week, and based on the video, it looks like another sub-30 minute time waster. At the end of the clip there’s a brief look at the new 2016 Batmobile and Batsuit that will be featured in the filmDawn of Justice....

He also made an extremelyunderrated moviethat got swept under the rug a bit due to it’s lead star being about as loony as Michael Jackson plus Prince times Rosie O’Donnell divided by Ron Workman. Now he’s at it again, this time stirring up all kinds of internet rumors and theories that would make a Star Wars fan crap themselves in frustration....
