I like waiting through the credits for my Post Credits treat. It reminds me just how many people it took to provide my entertainment. A really good Anti-Piracy tactic in my view.

I've been driving for about 20 years now and riding motorbikes for 10 of those. In my time I've had 2 accidents that were my fault and in no cases were electronics involved. One motorcycle accident which wasn't my fault. No amount of assistance on for me would have stopped the idiot in front of...

Did the study compare the use of Sat Nav devices which take the eye away from the road also? I really want a holographic heads up display :-(

Fair play to Notch. That's good business that is. Everyone in business should have an exit strategy, otherwise it's just a job. Now he gets to retire on the back of the good fortune he had. Do I feel betrayed? Absolutely not! Will Microsoft mess with it? Probably, but they'll probably...

I recently (the other day) got the Google Cardboard to try with my Samsung S5.. I put it together, downloaded the app for my phone and popped it inside and was quickly watching YouTube videos on a screen as big as a cinema screen. Then I downloaded the Tuscany dive app and spent a little time...

I'm not sure what to make about this Equalizer remake either. I used to be a massive fan of the Edward Woodward show (RIP), the Jag, the smoke, the mad 80's theme tune, the unflappable British ex spy with a level of cool which could bend iron. I like Denzel Washington, but I don't see it...

I think Fez explains the extra dimension perception problem fairly well. If we were to see this 4th dimension, it'd be like Gomez able to perceive the 3D world when everyone else is stuck only ever being able to understand a 2D universe. It doesn't explain the blackhole part, but hey -...

Why does anyone complain about shelling out for the OUYA2 to get improved hardware? No-one's forcing them. What OUYA should do is make the OUYA2 completely incompatible with previous games, bundle some gimmicky hardware with it and charge a load of extra cash for it - relegate your previous...

A link to the Escapist's own review is not evidence that the OUYA did not perform as well as the company had hoped. If there's a link to actual numbers, I'd be interested to see them but you can't include an opinion piece as evidence of failure. Personally, I'd like to see the OUYA do...

Ah, Eddie Izzard quotes are the best :) Good job.

An so the legendary cache of games was discovered after years of research and investigation. The lead archaeologist held aloft a single copy of ET and cried aloud "Fetch me the Atari 2600 so that I may see for my myself with my own eyes". Workers carried a boxed Atari 2600 along with a CRT TV...

I'd like to know how they got the rights back from Atari - it'd be gutting to go to all that trouble (and possibly money) to get the game back and then to not have the game fund on KS.

I'm pretty sure it'll be amazing if they make it. It'll also pave the way for Outcast 2, which I've always wanted to play. Outcast is one game where I was genuinely angry with the bad guy towards the end - even though he was a fictional character in a video game. That's story telling done...

I'm not sure if anyone's mentioned this on here, so I will. Back in 1999 there was a cool 3rd person perspective action adventure game called Outcast. It was notable for a great story, awesome music from the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra, an interesting premise and for stunning visuals for...

Backed! This looks like it could be a total laugh. I like the idea that you're not the biggest bad in the forest.
