PSVR reaction from a VIVE owner!

VR Dating Sims are NOT Weird???

Who are the TOP 3 Developers in the World - Daily Arcade 07.21.16

Who do you believe are the top three developers in the world right now? Not just from a subjective viewpoint, but also an objective one? Well, if you ask Marcin Iwinski, CEO of CD Projekt RED, he might be able to tell ya. About a month ago, during an interview at infoShare 2016, he named the world’s top three game developers… and whatdya know, he didn’t bellow CDPR at the top of his lungs; the developers were Blizzard, Bethesda, and Rockstar Games. Yes, he might have been extremely critica...

AMAZING FEATS IN VIDEO GAMES - Daily Arcade

Every sport has championship-tier athletes. Every instrument has skilled musicians. So it should go without saying that every video game will have talented gamers that have completed some tremendously impressive feats of gaming. Here are a few of our favorites. Perhaps what’s most impressive about this accomplishment isn’t so much that Darbian beat the former fastest time–it’s that the former fastest time was also his own former record! That’s right, Darbian beat the record, then beat his ow...

ARE YOU ADDICTED TO VIDEO GAMES? - Daily Arcade 009

I can still recall the time, at the ripe and impressionable age of 13, I pulled my first-ever all-nighter with my older cousin to beat Diddy Kong Racing on his Nintendo 64. No, it wasn’t the greatest game ever made for the N64 (though I’ll still argue that it was criminally underrated), but it didn’t need to be. The thrill resided in simply staying up all night, hanging with my older cousin, and finally beating Wizpig as the sun was coming up. Fortunately for me, relatively strict parenting ...

DOOM BRANDING IS STRONG - Daily Arcade 009

Doom’s back. Again. Last week, players had the opportunity to try out a multiplayer beta for the upcoming reboot of the Doom franchise – a game that’s been in the works for many years now after an initial sequel, titled Doom 4, was unceremoniously cancelled late into development. In spite of the fact that over ten years have passed since the launch of the last main title Doom game, gamers eagerly rushed back to the series, thrilled at the chance to play the latest reimagining of the series...

UNAPPRECIATED GAMES FROM THE 90's - Daily Arcade 008

We’re about three years into eighth generation consoles and the landscape for our gaming future seems to grow wilder and wilder by the minute. But on enigmatic, foggy nights, my mind is sent into a haze where I long for games of yore and wonder why they’ve yet to appear in my hands once again. So I’ve decided to compile a list of 10 franchises that for one reason or another, haven’t joined us on this new frontier. When considering candidates for this list, I thought about a few things: h...

OVERWATCH PORN

The long-awaited Overwatch beta dropped last week and it had some unexpected consequences, namely in the porn department. According to Pornhub’s statisticians, the adult entertainment website saw an 817% increase in Overwatch searches on the first day of the beta alone. Just a few weeks ago, all of the news surrounding the game was about the “suggestive” pose of one of the main characters, Tracer. Due to some negative feedback, Blizzard went ahead and toned down the character’s pose a bit, ...

Why Does Activision Want to Ruin Call of Duty? - Daily Arcade 006

Just a few days ago, Activision unveiled Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. And the reception for Infinite Warfare, at least according to the number of upvotes compared to downvotes on YouTube, is extremely far from warm. In fact, the video was met with a good portion of unadulterated gamer rage. Though the reasons for the reception of the video differ from today’s gripe, it’s still important to note that people aren’t happy with the unveiling for more than one reason. But one of the reasons ...

OVERWATCH BETA BAD FOR SALES? - Daily Arcade 005

In early May, gamers across the world will get the opportunity to dig into Overwatch a few weeks ahead of its official release. The multiplayer’s open beta will ostensibly be for the purpose of stress-testing the game’s online systems, but considering how close the release date for the full game, there isn’t much time after the beta for Blizzard to implement any changes before the game goes public. Plenty of beta tests have been performed throughout theOverwatch’s development in order to e...

THE BEST GAMES FROM THE 90'S!!! - Daily Arcade 004

The ‘90s was a bit of a simpler time. Sure there was an abundance of technology like video games and cell phones, but they weren’t as prominent or flashy as those found today. Nowadays, the video game industry is considered huge, and it’s difficult to live without a smartphone—at least for younger people. With the prevalence of DLC, patches, and graphically-pleasing tech, several ‘90s kids, like myself, can’t help but pine for the olden days. But what exactly do we miss about ‘90s gaming? ...

BEST GAMES TO RELIEVE STRESS - Daily Arcade 003

This time of year can be stressful for a lot of people. Students face finals and graduation pressures. The warming weather ushers in times of change, where many people relocate to new homes. Add parties, wedding invites, your oh-so-kind boss, and your shrinking wallet to the combination and your stress levels increase proportionately to the temperature. Luckily, for many of us, gaming can serve as a great way to de-stress after particularly troubling days. While far from an alternative to ...

CELEBRITY GAMES ARE STUPID CASH GRABS - Daily Arcade 002

In it, players are able to race friends, compete for real cash prizes, or play single player mode and solve mysteries all while listening to hits from Fetty himself. Crazily enough, it actually doesn’t soun...

IS THERE A MID GEN XBOX ON IT'S WAY??? - Daily Arcade 001

The race to 4K is heating up with, at the very least, rumors about each manufacturer’s direction regarding 4K compatibility. Nintendo has been uncharacteristically silent about its upcoming NX, but a wealth of recent rumors suggests that it’s going to be powerful, specifically in comparison to the PS4. On the other hand, Sony appears to be responding with its own plan to introduce new hardware, code-named PS4.5, PS4K, and PlayStation Neo as a sort of halfway point to their next system. Micro...
