Most people have heard about the success of the NES (for older readers), PlayStation 2, Xbox 360, and the more recent PlayStation 4.

Guy Beats Fallout 4 Without Killing Anyone, Nearly Breaks The Game

Fallout 4 expects you to commit murder. While you can occasionally avoid killing others, the wasteland is ruthless and demands violence. That’s how Bethesda intended the game to be played, anyway—but clever players are finding ways around it. Back in July 2015, The Guardian interviewed Todd Howard, Fallout 4’s game director.

The Humbling and Inspiring Tale of the Game That Proved Hitler's Name Is Still Worth at Least A Million Dollars

“The people who made Secret Hitler advertise it as a playable psychological model of how totalitarianism takes root.

With $100M In Crowdfunding, 'Star Citizen' May Not Be A Scam, But It Feels Like A Cult

Star Citizen, the upcoming space sim from Wing Commander creator Chris Roberts, has hit a milestone that seems almost too ridiculous to be believed. It just passed $100M in funding. Not just funding, but crowdfunding, as supporters of the game have taken the budget into the stratosphere not just through traditional support through avenues like Kickstarter, but by pre-purchasing ships and founders packages which range from a few dollars to seemingly ludicrous $15,000 bundles. But they’re selling.

The party was being hosted by Donald Michie, founder of the University of Edinburgh’s department of machine intelligence and perception.
