Are there any graphics/physics whores present in the audience? Don’t be ashamed; I am right there with you, to be completely honest. Anyway, this post is almost certainly going to be entertaining exclusively to a small portion of this site’s readership, but it can be our little secret. Alongside the brief news thatHavok has announcedits latest middleware source development kit, Havok AI, we have got a decent selection of tech demonstration videos from the company....

It’s quite rare for a completely surreal videogame-based sketch comedy series to become a success. It’s even more rare that the people who produce that brand of comedy show their faces out in the wild, where they may be potentially punch by a stranger.

Read on as the bear all in a hot topic discussion of how to make a machinima, how much betterUnchartedcould have been if the creative guy on staff was in charge, how the internet is more influential to them than television, and much,muchmore (maybe too much)....

Riot Games is allowing players to get acquainted with her tough love personality by way of a minigame, which is playable in your browser. Basically, it’s a set of QTEs and whatnot, but it provides a decent look at what to expect for her, and gives us a bit of interactive backstory....

Around $4 million was stolen I know mobile games can be addicting, but this story is a bit ridiculous. Kevin Lee Co, 45, from Sacramento, California allegedly went on a spending spree for the mobile gameGame of War, accruing around $1 million of charges after evidently stealing from his employer (a Caterpillar affiliated company named Holt). His scheme supposedly started in May of 2008 and continued well into 2015. The IRS was investigating his activities, so he must have slipped up somewhere along the line....

Slowly catching up to the PC version It was only a month ago whenRise of Tiamat, the fifth expansion for the free-to-play MMONeverwinter, was released on Xbox One. At the time, I noted that while it was a decent update, it still meant the Xbox One version of the game wasreallyfar behind its PC counterpart, which will be releasingits seventh expansion next week. Apparently Perfect World was listening, asthey have now announcedthat expansion number six,Elemental Evil, will be coming to the Xbox One in September....

According to the article, the protagonist is named Alex and is 22 years old. Here’s a blurb about his background:...

This week’s releases reminds me of a boxing match. In the PS3 corner, we haveResistance 2. In the Xbox 360 corner, we haveGears of War 2. Both games are system exclusives, have stories where humans are desperately trying to fight against impossible odds, and both games have about five different colors throughout the entire game. Also new this week isJames Bond 007: Quantum of Solace. While the previews have impressed me, I’m going to wait until after I see the movie in theaters....

Lucky’s Tale Lucky’s Taleconvinced me that 3D platformers can make terrific use of virtual reality. I had my doubts going in, thinking the game looked decent at best, but came away impressed.So did Brett. It’s good news, then, that it’s going to be packed in with the hardware. The space dog-fighting titleEVE: Valkyrie, another standout virtual-reality experience, isincludedas a freebie for folks who pre-order an Oculus Rift. But everyone who buys the device — even if it’s after the Q1 2016 launch — will get a complimentary copy ofLucky’s Tale....

Today the US PlayStation Blog announced the addition of 105 games to the service, almost doubling the offering to a total of over 250.
