Awww Blizzard’s hamster-in-a-mechOverwatchhero Wrecking Ball has joined the live game. This newmobile tank herocan roll around, piledrive, lay mines, and use a grappling claw to swing himself up high to, say, focus down a pesky Widowmaker. I’m very much looking forward to that. As a Zenyatta player, I felt physical pain watching my boy get smashed in this video. Reminder:Overwatchis holding afree weekendstarting Thursday, July 26. And if you missed it,here’s a big galleryof Wrecking Ball’s current skins....

FREE MONEY! PlayStation Network users have taken to Twitter, NeoGAF, and other places stating that they’ve received a $10 credit to their PlayStation Network account. Along with the cash comes this nice little message saying “Thank you for being a loyal customer and fan of the PlayStation Network. As a token of our appreciation, we’ve sent you $10.00 to spend on the PlayStation Store!” It’s not quite clear exactly why certain users got the free money, and why others haven’t....

I know this week’s episode of Podtoid isn’t aDouble Dragonmovie commentary like we promised, but certain parts of the podcast make up for it. I won’t specify for fear of spoiling them, but let’s just say they involve Samit. – I try to be fake-mean to Samit and it comes out sounding ridiculously real-mean –The Red Star: just as good now as it was a few years ago –Crimson SkiesandX-Wing vs....

Live from PAX East The Gearbox PAX East panel just started and Randy Pitchford is still laying the teasers on thick. There are promises that they’re saving the best for last in the hour-long presentation. But, an interesting note from the first five minutes is Pitchford addressing all the speculation by saying “Battle royale games are fun. That’s not what we’re doing.” Well, there’s one theory debunked. We’ll be breaking out all the news as it happens....

I’m so into this It’s morning still. I feel way too groggy to let out an audible “whoa!” while watching a trailer for a video game, butAstroneermanaged to elicit one anyway. Two, actually. It was the player-controlled terrain deformation that did it both times (not that the scenery isn’t also quite lovely; it is). This is a sandbox adventure about carving up and reshaping exotic worlds to unearth their precious artifacts and resources....

At least she might learn something Lara Croft has never been the best archaeologist. Carefully digging for hours so as to not damage an artifact wouldn’t make for a very good video game. Still, there’s a disconnect when she knocks over human skulls that are perched on a ledge she wants up. That’s nothing compared to when she detonates explosives that destroy one of those tombs she should be raiding....

Oh boy, another game that’s based on a movie. Wait! What’s this?!The Bourne Conspiracylooks good andGASP, fun?!I left very impressed with all thatThe Bourne Conspiracyhas to offer.

Before you hit the jump for my full impressions ofThe Bourne Conspiracy, be sure to watch the above trailer....

Silent Hill: HD Collection and Silent Hill Homecoming are coming to Xbox One Backward Compatibility todayhttps://t.co/qPMRNs2ZLopic.twitter.com/dpc14O2YFa — Larry Hryb @ SDCC (@majornelson)June 12, 2025 You’d think that havingSilent Hill 2and3playable on Xbox One would be cause for celebration, but it isn’t — not when we’re talking about theversions of those gamesfound in theSilent Hill HD Collection....

I’m a huge fan of just about everything having to do with the NES, as you may have guessed by now. It’s my favorite vintage system and just being near one makes me feel all glowy. That being said, I know I am not the only one with this little fetish, as I can clearly see that Hot Topic is selling all kinds of trinkets having to do with the NES....
