For those of you who haven’t heard of Carbot Animations probably think that I’ve made an embarrassing typo in the title but I haven’t. StarCrafts is a StarCraft parody animated series that features some cute looking and acting characters. You might not get some of the humour if you’re not a SC player/fan but I think everyone would appreciate the look of StarCrafts.

Wolfenstein Gets a Collectors Edition without a Copy of the Game
Just when you thought that the monetization of video games was reaching ridiculous levels, Bethesda has pushed the boundaries of good taste again.

Infinite Crisis Beta Impressions: The MOBA You Want, Not The MOBA You Need
I’ve never played a MOBA before but with the release of the open beta of the DC Comics MOBA, Infinite Crisis, I thought now was a good time to get into the genre. Most people are judging compared to the big MOBAs, League of Legends and DOTA 2. Without that comparison base, what would I think of my first MOBA?

Critics Corner: inFamous: Second Son
Just a couple of weeks after Microsoft got its first potential Xbox One system seller onto store shelves, Sony has one of their flagship first-party exclusive franchises out on the PlayStation 4. The inFamous franchise may not have the mass appeal of a first-person shooter like Titanfall but the two inFamous games are considered to be among the best superhero games ever made.
