Welcome to our new regular column showcasing some of the world’s most amazing videogame and other geek centric cosplays (costume play). To kick it off, we’re going mostly old-school with a stunning Princess Zelda, feisty Street Fighters, a serene Tifa Lockheart, and a downright disturbing Alice. Not to keep it completely retro though, we also have a look at one of my favorite new characters of this generation: a brilliant Nilin worth remembering from Capcom’s sci-fi thrillerRemember Me....

Speculation run rampant There’s a new patch forMiddle-earth: Shadow of Mordorand no one seems to know what it does. Update 1.10 released today and it’s mostly substantial in size — reports indicate about 6GB on PS4, 2.27GB on Xbox One, but only 8.1MB on PC. Most curious, developer Monolith and publisher Warner Bros. haven’t made any mention of this patch’s function. For context,Shadow of Mordorreleased in September 2014. Its most recent update on PlayStation was in October of last year when it received 4K support for the PS4 Pro....

Dungeon Defenderstook over my life for a good week when I initially played the Xbox Live Arcade version, but sadly I never ended up playing it cooperatively as much as I would have liked. After some peer pressure and a daily Steam sale, however, I finally moved to the PC for the co-op and the DLC.

Black Side will feature Jack Cayman ofMadWorldfame, and White Side will featureRaiden’sfavorite fan Leo. Depending on your color choice, things will play out differently, both from a cinematic and mechanical standpoint. Two videos have surfaced that show both perspectives, and consequently there’s a ton of actual solid gameplay to gander at....

I have no words One day publishers will study Ubisoft when it comes to turning their franchises around. Many of their recent games likeRainbow Six Siege, The Division,For Honor,andGhost Recon Wildlandshave undergone extreme changes since their respective launches, and theAssassin’s Creedseries deserves to be in the conversation as well.

I have so many problems with this I don’t even know where to begin. The first doesn’t even have to do with games: FAKE BLING IS TACKY. Not even that I’m so into real bling, mind you, because the type of girl that thinks the size of a rock is indicative of how much she is loved is typically not the down-to-earth girl that enjoys video games. Still, if you’re gonna wear it, don’t wear some trash that looks like it was made in China....

More specifically, Bungie’s recent TWID (This Week inDestiny) blog post goes into substantial depth on what to expect out of Episode: Revenant’s weapons and armor. For those who are keen on the nitty-gritty of it, it’s an excellent expansion of the same concepts that are beingbrought to bear with Onslaught....
