Perhaps they’d be better served by moseying on down to the Adult Entertainment Expo to pick up one of the those state of the art crank-operated, Bluetooth-enabled Fleshlights. It’s times like this that make me wish we lived in a world whereRazer’sSwitchblade, the talk of last year’s CES, had been released and bombed commercially so I could simply point at some news article and say “Look!...

Brothers in Arms IO Interactive has released the intro movie for the next entry in the stalwartHitmanfranchise.Courtesy of IGN, the tense cinematic sees 47 infiltrate Saudi Arabia, working alongside a fellow shadow-walker, problem-solver… problem-eliminator.

Haha what Mario Kart 8came in with a bang, and ended up lasting quite a while with its two amazing DLC packs. While I still play it on occasion, its fire has unfortunately died down a bit, partially due to the horrible battle mode that still hasn’t been patched or addressed. When it comes to my household, I know for a fact that a real battle gametype would keep people interested for longer....
