Well, okay, it wasn’t really Martians that killed the Beatles, it was more like Mickey Mouse. And motion capture technology. And YOU. Yes you, average entertainment consumer. Your lack of enthusiasm for Mars Needs Moms was the final nail in the coffin for Disney and Robert Zemeckis’ mocap animated remake of Yellow Submarine, the ‘60s [...]

In recent times, the Wii has started to slip in terms of sales, influence, and plain old fan appeal. Back when it first released, motion controls were the hot new thing, and the lack of graphical capability didn’t particularly matter because many people were still using old CRT TVs. We were fresh off an old [...]

Tank warfare! Just the mention of it makes manliness ooze out of your pours. Nothing is more awesome than blowing shit up in a metal death machine. Add the words “strategic” and “MMO” to that formula, and you get something that is a little less manly, and a little more geeky, but still just as [...]

Do graphics really matter in video games? That’s the question we have been asking ourselves this past generation.

Tea-bagging. It’s a necessary part of the online FPS experience. Score a good kill and everyone expects you to crouch over someone’s face and tap the crouch button a couple times. It’s a natural sign of FPS dominance and believe it or not it has been examined in psychological studies in the past. However, regardless [...]

With the death of Guitar Hero you may be wondering why any company would spend its money on a new music game franchise.

Remember the Wii Vitality Sensor? That bulky little peripheral was the butt of many jokes. It was this huge clip that clamped onto your finger and was supposed to measure your vital signs.

Just a small update on the Geohot front here. A while ago, we reported on rumors flying around big sites like Kotaku and Gamrfeed about a possible donation made to “help Geohot fight Sony fund” by Microsoft. Supposedly, an anonymous source told EverythingHQ.com that Microsoft had donated a huge sum of money, and that is [...]

If you have been watching trailers for Portal 2 you may have become a little intimidated by the game. The puzzles shown in the trailers look as if they need split second reflexes to solve.
