In a new low, Activision Blizzard is apparently paying female employees in $1 gift cards to share their pregnancy data. There’s a larger question being asked today about just how much data is too much? We’ve got Fitbits and Apple Watches capable of recording more and more of our biological data than we’ve ever been able to before, and not all of that data is being kept private. Some of it, according to a new report from The Washington Post, is going to your employer....

Logan Marshall-Green gave himself a writing exercise when he sat down to pen the screenplay for Adopt A Highway, his directorial debut that premiered at SXSW Film Festival in March. “I was going to write a screenplay without any violence, without any sex,” Marshall-Green says.

Alien Hominid’s origins date back to 2002 when its original incarnation was first uploaded to Flash animation mecca Newgrounds. It was co-developed by the site’s founder, Tom Fulp, and artist Dan Paladin, who together would soon form The Behemoth, a bona fide game development company born out of their oh-so-early-2000s Flash game experiment. Two years later, a bigger and better Alien Hominid was released for the PS2 and GameCube. Whereas the first, free version of the game contained just one level, the console re-release was expanded to 16 levels and included unlockable items and new music, in addition to plenty of other improvements....

With recent breakthroughs in performance capture technology, it’s not only writers and game designers creating our favorite virtual worlds. Many games employ actors to not only voice characters - which has already been a standard practice for nearly two decades - but actually perform their parts in a motion capture studio. Rockstar Games’ Red Dead Redemption 2 utilized the latest advancements in this field to bring the characters in their western epic to life....

Mega Man hasn’t exactly had the smoothest history. The series has never sold as well as some fans might believe, and time has not been particularly kind to the Blue Bomber. But Capcom seems to be turning things around. The Classic, X, and now Zero and ZX sub-series all have compilations, and Mega Man 11 was a genuine return to form. All the same, the franchise doesn’t exactly look back on the first game all too often these days....

In one masterful stroke, Hideo Kojima is in control of the gaming discussion once again with the release of his first highly-anticipated game since his unceremonious split with Konami. Death Stranding is proving to be exactly what everyone perceived from the years of confusing trailers. It’s weird. It’s bold. It’s unique. Apparently, it’s not for everyone. But, it’s 100% Hideo Kojima. While Kojima’s artistic storytelling might live on an entirely different level than the rest of us, his core gameplay experiences still seem to grasp us....

At the time, Hyrule Field was fresh, new, and completely unexplored. Playing Ocarina of Time in the 90s meant discovering Ocarina of Time before anyone else....

Those of us that grew up in the 90s probably spent hours watching some of Disney’s best movies. The 90s for Disney was a good time since it was the start of Disney’s first Renaissance. Movies like Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, and Aladdin, are what brought Disney out of its dark ages and into a new revival. Beauty and the Beast is probably my favorite 90s Disney movie, with its gorgeous animation, amazing story, and wonderful characters....

Is there anything more tragic than the canceled video game? It’s frustrating to see games that have a lot of vision, unique ideas, and interesting stories get canned. In this industry, it happens all too often, whether due to studio closures, money issues, a lack of investment, or loss of a designer. Back when the 360 was a new console, I used to read magazines cover to cover, getting excited about all these new games that were going to come to this console....

After 15 long years, the Mario Strikers franchise returned with Battle League on the Nintendo Switch. It’s a fantastic game with addictive gameplay and a high skill ceiling. However, the overall experience is brought down a bit but the lack of the game’s content – 10 characters and five stadiums is hardly enough to keep players into the game. Here are 4 things we’d like to see as Mario Strikers: Battle League DLC....
