Could open up a huge, classic library The PlayStation 4 can play PlayStation 2 games. The same specialBattlefrontbundle that includesSuper Star Warsalso includesStar Wars: Racer Revenge,Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter, andStar Wars: Bounty Hunter, not as ports, but running as emulated PS2 games (in this case, potentially at higher resolutions). Sony confirmed as much curtly, saying, “We are working on utilizing PS2 emulation technology to bring PS2 games forward to the current generation....

It’s about to get gay in here Last night the boyfriend and I got together — giggitty — and shot this latest episode of Newstoid since Jess Brohard is out hunting fugitives with Dog the bounty hunter or whatever. Who knew we would talk about marriage equality inFire Emblem Fatesmere hours before it became law throughout the United States? We tried something a bit different with the set this week and I think it is the most solid looking episode yet, even if Gage is a bit camera shy — it only helps him look more cute....

Just in case you somehow missed the last few roundups Bungie wants to be 100% sure you know about all the new stuff coming toDestinytomorrow. If you somehow still don’t know about the April Update despite theoriginal announcementlast month, multipleTwitch streamsa few weeks back, the handful ofInstagram announcements, and theinfographic summaryfrom a few days ago, a comprehensive video released today should get you back up to speed. I’ve been surprisingly out of touch with the whole April Update news trickle, but for the most part I’m caught up after watching this....

Capcom has announced their pricing plans forStreet Fighter X Tekken‘s DLC, and it’s hard to say how fans are going to take it. The good news is, a lot of the DLC will be free (including a bunch of new gems, some pre-set combos, additional palate swaps, a patch to get rid of many of the game’s infinites, and more). On the other end of the spectrum you have the new “swap costumes” which outfit theStreet Fighter side of the roster likeTekkenfighters, and vice versa....

I’m developing this great idea for a dramatic sitcom based around the Take-Two offices. It will feature tense courtroom scenes as executives get caughtbackdating stock optionsand falsifying records against the dramatic backdrop of violent game controversy and the delay ofGTA IV, which analyst Michael Pachter blames on thecomplexity of PS3and Rockstar’s exclusivity agreement with Sony. Seriously, can you guys picture it? There would be a high-intensity hospital scene at the bedside of ananxious Jack Thompson, and the ever-troubled PR department at SCEA could make a cameo for comic relief....

Marcus Enriquez sent us some spot-on photos of himself and his girlfriend as characters fromThe Ballad of Gay Tony. Anyone else do a hip costume for Halloween? I didn’t have time for Halloween this year, unfortunately. I didn’t even carve a pumpkin and roast its delicious seeds! I did wear a false mustache for about two minutes and I do have two Hello Kitty band-aids on my fingers at the moment....

This is why you take Void Prison Zeratul is frequently banned at high-level play inHeroes of the Stormtournaments, and now you may see why, with this video shared by JJ TheMighty. The top Heroic ability (ultimate) pick is Void Prison, because of how amazingly versatile it is. In short, it puts down a small dome on the screen, which can be used to take anything out of the action for a few seconds in a stasis-like state....

Give me mods, or give me death! Life, liberty, and the pursuit of modding. Those are our inalienable rights as human beings. Rockstar can’t take those from us. Good thingit’s not going to try. Besides, I’m pretty sure the right to bear mods is protected by the Second Amendment. Anyway, this video perfectly depicts whyGTA Vmods are so precious, and manages to sum up the absurdity of them in a mere 40 seconds....

Most will be localized Sony has unveiled a sizzle reel of sorts for upcoming games on PlayStation platforms, and it’s worth a watch just to get a refresher on what’s coming this year. Out of all the games on display, only a few of them haven’t been confirmed for localization yet (Gundam Breaker 3, Yakuza: Kiwami). Whatever Sony has up its sleeve this year, I hope it involves more first-party games and partnership programs likeBloodborne....

48-hour jam game needs to be in my life Watch this. It’s a teaser forTrainfinity, a game developed in 48 hours during the Nordic Game Jam last week. A local cooperative multiplayer game, tracks run in three lanes from one player’s tablet to the next while trains begin to run on the tracks in both directions at increasing frequency. Players have to communicate with each other to prevent collisions and derailments along the line....

Galactic Starfighter now out for F2P players Looking at the year ahead forStar Wars: The Old Republic, senior producer Bruce Macleansays there aretwo more digital expansions on the way — “one similar toGalactic Starfighterin scope and one more closely resemblingRise of the Hutt Cartel.” The team is moving to a three-week cycle between minor patches, up from two weeks, in order to budget more time for bug testing. Similarly, major content updates are shifting to a nine-week cycle....

When I was a kid, I didn’t have any LEGOs except the big ones for little kids. So when I got older, I actually bought some LEGO sets to fill the void of my LEGO-less childhood. Dunechaserhas a great collection of LEGO video game characters featured on his flickr account. FromDiablo IIcharacter classes toFinal Fantasycharacters, these tiny little toys seem to be the real deal from LEGO. No human modifications that I can see....
