â€Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you.†– Dr. Seuss
SOMA takes everything you think you know about what “humanity†means and throws it into a blender. What is humanity? Are you human because you have the physical attributes we commonly associate with being a homo sapien? Are you a human because of higher-level thoughts and consciousness? If you remove one piece out of the complex grab bag of what we see...

CIG and Roberts Space Industries Refutes The Escapist's Slander and Threatens Legal Action
The other day, Cloud Imperium Games (CIG) and Roberts Space Industries (RSI) came under attack by a slanderous hit piece from The Escapist. I wrote up my thoughts about that in our ever growing blog section. That was the latest in a series of events that saw notorious Internet "trolls" going after CIG and RSI without much in the way of facts. The Escapist doubled down on their claims, saying that their sources were verified by the site's legal component and that everything checked out. They a... -

No Man's Sky Segment from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
This past Friday, Sean Murray from Hello Games went on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to show off No Man's Sky to a national audience. The video below features the full interview alongside a demonstration of the game. It may not be new footage to you or I, but the people watching at home that may not be into video games, this was all new territory.
A release date for the game still has not yet been revealed. -

Skreens Adds Split-Screen Functionality to Any Game
I received this press release a few days ago and opted to check it out later. Later ended up being about three days (whoops), but here we are. It was a mailing about something called Skreens, a device that combines multiple inputs into one output picture. This could be a very interesting way to have couch co-op in Halo 5, provided you own two Xbox One's and two copies of the game.
What is Skreens? Skreens is a revolutionary way to experience all of your entertainment. Your... -

Square Enix Scraps Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Pre-Order Program
Square Enix and Eidos-Montreal announced today that they have cancelled the "Augment Your Pre-Order" program for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. This is a good move from the companies after fans were very vocal about how stupid the entire idea was.
Initially conceived as a reward to players by allowing them to choose their own content (mirroring one of Deus Ex’s core gameplay pillars), the promotion was negatively viewed by the community. Having watched, read, and listened to feedback,... -

Frictional Games Talks SOMA, Sales Figures, and the Future
First up, let's dive into how Frictional Games provided fans with a quick post-launch report on SOMA. In just 10 days, SOMA sold about 92,000 copies across every platform (PC and PlayStation 4). They say that just those number of sales will allow the company to pay their expenses for another two years. Sales have leveled out to be around 2,000 copies per day. Frictional Games even breaks down how that compares to their previous titles.
How does this compare to our other releases?... -

Former Activision Developers Announce New Studio and New Game - Icon: Disc Jam
Icon: Disc Jam is the newly announced title from former "AAA developers" that have worked on franchises such as Call of Duty, Guitar Hero, and Tony Hawk. The studio, High Horse Entertainment, is making Icon: Disc Jam on Unreal Engine 4.
It essentially appears to be a modern take on Windjammers and this makes me quite happy.
Description A fast-paced action-sports game that pits 2-4 players against each other in a unique combination of air hockey and tennis. Players scram... -

Block N Load now includes a daily challenge system that gives players objectives that have to be fulfilled either within a single match or 24 hours. Challenges come in the form of multiple conditions, including gaining a certain number of kills or completing specific... -

Free PlayStation Plus Games for October 2015 are More Indie Games Nobody Ever Heard of Before
The free PlayStation Plus games for October 2015 were announced by Sony today. As usual, the folks at Sony totally didn't offer up full, $50-$60 retail games for those that pay roughly $4 per month. Pfft, how lame! Seriously, whomever heard of this Super Meat Boy game? And Broken Age? What hole in the wall studio did that crawl out of?
Look at these totally unknown Indie games that nobody has ever heard of before.

Driveclub PlayStation Plus Edition Departs in October
If you have PlayStation Plus and didn't grab the PS+ version of Driveclub, you should do so before October 6. On that date, it will go away forever but the paid version will still be around. According to Sony, the free version of the game will no longer be available. Why? I don't know. People are inexplicably upset over this for reasons that baffle and confuse me. It was not the full version of the game that was available for free, only the (often delayed) stripped down PlayStation Plus v... -

GameStop CEO Says Disc-based Games Will be Around Forever; Company Plans for the Future of VR
The CEO of GameStop, Paul Raines, says that disc-based games "will be around forever."
“Disc-based games will be around forever,” he says. “The market has seen physical music sales down 50% from its peak and physical movie sales down 60% from its peak, but even in a doomsday scenario, disc-based games will be around for a long time. I see a complimentary business where we sell discs plus download like the current console mode. Virtual reality games will also likely follow this... -

Black Ops 3 Story Trailer
A new story focused trailer was just released for Call of Duty: Black Ops 3.
Black Ops III engrosses players in a dark and gritty future, where a new breed of Black Ops soldier has emerged, and the lines between humanity and military technology have been blurred. You must navigate the hot spots of a new Cold War to find your missing brothers. While much has changed, one thing remains the same: everything you know may be wrong. How far down the rabbit hole are you willing to go to...
