Video Game Focus: HUSK Is An Eastern European Take On Silent Hill
Shivercliff is the name of a fictional town in the video game title HUSK. Shivercliff - the name alone sends shivers down the bones. It sends a sudden chillness along your spinal cord. But a poster to the game comes with a utterly contrasting caption “a place you’ll never want to leave…" A 90s town filled with luminous street lights, abandoned gas pumps, deformed NPCs and newspapers strewn like a Billie Jean music video doesn't really compliment the caption. It really sends a strong macabre vibe which loosely translates to "a place you’ll never want to visit ever" or "a place you'll never escape in the first place!"

Since 2007, Desert Bus for Hope has raised money for the charity Child's Play by playing one of the worst games ever created: Desert Bus. This unreleased game from 1995 is a real time drive from Tucson, AZ to Las Vegas, NV and back, with no obstacles and a maximum speed of 45 mph.

Apparently Portugal just became the champions of UEFA Euro 2016. At least that's what Twitter is telling me. I don't follow any sports, especially soccer, which is funny since that's what one of my favorite games at the moment is all about. Well, soccer and rocket powered cars.

It was only a matter of time before the Pokemon GO augmented reality craze began to bleed into other games. But before there was Pokemon GO, there was a Pokemon mod, and in the most unlikely of places - a little shoot 'em up called Postal 2.

Ubisoft is one of the largest game developers in the business, ranking third in among independents, only behind Electronic Arts and Activision. And it's easy to see why they would be so large considering that they are behind several pivotal and beloved franchises like: Assassin's Creed, Ghost Recon, Watch Dogs, Far Cry, Splinter Cell & Rainbow Six. Yet being one of the largest or most popular companies doesn't mean that there isn't a war for control just over the horizon.

You wanna feel old real quick? Next year will mark the 20th anniversary of the original Pokemon games' release in Japan. In America, next year the original Pokemon games will be old enough to vote (since they were released in 1998 in North America). Yeah, it's been that long. Here's the original intro for nostalgia's sake.
Jay VergaraPublished 6 years ago in GamersNew Mirror's Edge Catalyst Gameplay Trailer Released
I was a big fan of the first Mirror's Edge from the get go. The game itself looked fantastic with its minimalist aesthetic and the parkour element was very well developed. When I heard about another Mirror's Edge coming out, I was more than a little bit excited about it then that excitement tapered off for a while. Until today. This new gameplay footage has me amped all over again. The beginning shows more of the same from the first game (which isn't a bad thing by a long shot) and then stuff gets real crazy towards the tail end. Check out the trailer below!
Jay VergaraPublished 6 years ago in GamersIf You're A StarCraft Fan You'll LOVE 'The Rush'
I'm a little late to the party, but here's one for all the StarCraft fans out there. Most all of us who've played the game have fallen victim to a Zerg rush at one point or another. From a gaming standpoint, it can be pretty annoying and demoralizing. But what if you were actually there? The short film 'The Rush' shows us a glimpse of what it would be like to be caught in terrifying Zerg attack. More than that, it gives us a look at what a Starcraft movie should look like if one ever gets made. Please take notes, Hollywood. If you make a StarCraft movie that looks like this then I will happily give you my money.

Street Fighter has been around been around for as long as I can remember. My childhood was built on being at the arcade and seeing a line build up while one person absolutely dominates the machine. Each iteration seems to inspire even more impressive feats and along the way its built a strong fan base. The fanbase is strong enough that some of its most hardcore fans are willing to shell out exorbitant amounts of money for any and all merchandise related to the franchise. Luckily for them, companies like Pop Culture Shock Collectibles are here to serve. Their latest offering is a 30" Chun-Li figure made with exquisite detail and a price that might make your eyes water.

Did you know someone was making a dating sim based on Overwatch? Of course you did, you're probably all about that life. That was a quick and broad assumption. However, if the internet has taught me anything about Overwatch, it's that people seem to be in it as much for the crazy fan theories, the awesome cosplay, and shipping as they are for the shooting.
Jay VergaraPublished 6 years ago in GamersNetflix Is Streamed More Than Hulu, YouTube And Amazon Combined, But Game Streaming Content Beats Them All
Netflix has become synonymous with modern-day routines of leisurely passing the time away in front of the TV. So much so, that Netlix's streamed content has surpassed even the combined services of all the other big hitters (Amazon, Hulu and YouTube). The news was made available in a recent ComScore report that paints a picture where future generations will be the result of their parents' "Netflix and Chill" moments rather than the conventional back seat of car.
