Skype Really Gets Around, Spreads Its Seed To Vita
Like Netflix, Skype is a dirty tramp of the app world. Not long after we spotted it over in the corner hitting on the Xbox, now it’s gone and jumped the bones of our PlayStation Vitas. And it’s already gotten up on just about every smartphone and tablet known to man.
Nintendo Whispers Naughty Secrets About Its 3DS, Wii U
Boy, did Nintendo have a lot on its mind. The fallen gaming giant, which lost more than half a billion dollars in the last fiscal year, is plotting out its comeback. The normally tight-lipped company has a surprising amount to say about its current plight and plans to escape.
Japanese Nintendo 3DS Game Is Overflowing With Massive Anime Boobs
Ah, Japan. A land where sexual self-exploration and gaming go hand in… pants. The Senran Kagura franchise, in which you control big-boobed female ninjas who lose more clothing the more damage they take, embraces its dirtiness.
EA Tells Gus To Get Off The ‘Madden’ Bus, ’13′s Announcers Will Be Wonder-Phil
We like to knock EA Sports for releasing the same games year after year, so it’s only fair to give up some props when the developer recognizes a major problem and makes a wholesale change. While Cris Collinsworth and Gus Johnson are two of the best football broadcasters out there, they were boring and inconsistent in the recent Madden games.

‘Scarface’ Mobile Game Review
Scarface for iOS works a lot better as an unintended comedy than it does as a tribute to the iconic 1983 film.
Research Shows Almost Half The People Who Play ‘Free’ Games Buy Stuff In Them
Publishers don’t put out “free” games just because they’re great guys. They’re hoping to hypnotize you into paying as much, if not more, than you would on games that you buy at full price. It’s an effective business plan, according to market research firm NPD Group, which reports that 40 percent of free-game players end up opening up their wallets.
PlayStation Vita Is Cheaper, But Not Because Sony Wants It That Way
Sony’s PlayStation Vita has struggled out of the gate, with slow sales and a sad little trickle of software to support it. The most telling sign of the device’s lack of popularity is you just don’t see it very often when you’re out and about. Those who’ve managed to wait a couple months to pick one up are in luck, with used copies dipping to as low as $162 at times.
‘Imperium Galactica 2: Alliances’ Game Review
Real-time strategy snobs insist that the only platform their games of choice work on is the PC, and for good reason.
‘Rayman Origins 2′ is In The Works
Sometimes really cool games come along that hardly anyone wants to pay for — An example is Rayman Origins, a divine platormer that got critics all hot and bothered but couldn’t find much in the way of sales.
‘Jetpack Joyride’ Gives You Reason to Go For Another Ride
We’re hard-pressed to come up with a mobile game that’s as flat-out fun as Jetpack Joyride. Developer Halfbrick, not content with its ludicrously high — and well-desrved — 90 Metacritic rating, is releasing a free update that makes the game even deeper.
Nintendo Fixes ‘Mario Kart 7′ Cheat
When you’re playing the 3DS game Mario Kart 7 online, and a bunch of people vote for Wuhu Mountain Loop, you feel like the victims in ‘A Clockwork Orange’ when the Droogs start to surround them in a back alley. The track is plagued with an exploit that lets players jump off a cliff and skip half the course, screwing over anyone who plays fair.
Could This Be The Box Art For The Next ‘Call of Duty?’
The official unveiling of the next Call of Duty game is at hand, and we told you information would start leaking out beforehand. What you see above is what some are contending is the European box for Black Ops 2, which means that it may well be the American version as well.
