Xbox SmartGlass allows users to control their Xbox consoles with a smartphone or tablet, and for Xbox One, Microsoft revealed the next-generation Xbox SmartGlass for the new console. Users will be able to start a single-player game, as well as set up a multiplayer session with friends. You can also purchase in-game add-ons. Killer Instinct
We heard about Forza 5 at Microsoft’s initial unveil event for the Xbox One, but developer Turn 10 briefly provided further details on the game during Microsoft’s E3 presser today. The newest McLaren seems to be the centerpiece for the new game, and they even had a real one on stage during the event, attracting
We were teased with Crytek’s newest game last month, called Ryse, but today during Microsoft’s E3 presser, we’re seeing a first-look at the game, having a peek at some of the gameplay in a new trailer. Gamers will be able to experience the rise of the Roman Empire through the eyes of a Roman soldier,
We knew Konami would be making an appearance at E3 this year, and Microsoft’s press conference started off right away with a first-look trailer of the game developer’s latest game, which just so happens to be a new Metal Gear Solid. Konami announced Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Snake is back in this
There’s word on the street that a new Plants vs. Zombies game is being announced at E3 this week. So with the game back on the minds of many, what better time to grab this awesome collection of PvZ amigurumis.
This epic collection was created by Komang Damiani and includes a whopping 23 individual Plants and other weapons from your garden.
Unfortunately, The zombies seem to be nowhere to be found in this handmade collection of yarn plants.
Still it’s a pretty great collection for anyone who loves the game. The complete set will set you back $190(USD), so that’s less than $9 per plant. Now all you need is a bunch of crocheted zombies to go with. Oh, they make those too…
A couple of years ago we saw a pretty sweet Scion xB that was modded as an homage to 8-bit gaming. It would’ve been more awesome if it had this engine. It’s a Honda Civic B series engine made to look like a NES controller, complete with the Konami Code at the bottom.
What I really want to see is a car with a NES controller for a steering wheel – er, steering controller.

While Apple’s WWDC starts Monday (and is undoubtedly garnering more attention), E3 also starts on Monday, and it’s expected to be a big one, as both Microsoft and Sony are expected to further discuss their new respective gaming consoles. However, signs and promo material for a game called “Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare” have popped
The gaming world has gone topsy turvy. Microsoft is taking the iTunes approach with the Xbox One – except their walled garden is more like a constantly monitored and walled garden – and with the Apple TV and the Ouya, mobile games are heading towards your living room and the coveted big screen that’s sitting there. The GamePop is one of those systems fighting for time on your TV.
The GamePop takes a more unconventional approach to mobile gaming at home. First, Bluestacks, the company behind GamePop, is claiming that developers of both iOS and Android games will easily be able to add their products to players, thanks to a technology that BlueStacks calls Looking Glass. So in theory, GamePop subscribers will have access to the best mobile games, as long as the developers allow it. And yes, I said subscribers. Instead of a single purchase like with the Ouya or the Gamestick, GamePop uses a subscription model. BlueStacks, the company behind GamePop, will charge users $7 (USD) a month for the console, a controller and access to more than 500 mobile games at launch, with more to come. It’s similar to the PlayStation Plus service on the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita, except you’re also renting the console.
You can pre-order – or pre-subscribe to – the GamePop console, controller and game library at its official website. Aside from $7, you’ll also have to pay for the hardware’s shipping cost. The idea of being able to play practically any mobile game – unless there’s an awesome Windows Phone or BlackBerry game that comes out – is pretty appealing, but again, it’s all dependent on whether developers will support the GamePop.
So your pet turtle looks pretty wimpy. He is all slow and his shell is just not badass enough. Well, give him an ego boost and make him look tougher with this crocheted Bowser sweater.
That’s right. He will be big, mean and green. King Koopa! Just don’t dress like Mario, or he will kick your arse all over the place. You will turn him into a monster.
This awesome turtle sweater was created by Jennifer Olivarez for her friend’s turtle as part of the Make It! Challenge series on her blog Squirrel Picnic.
If you want to know how to make one for your own turtle, Jennifer shares detailed instructions here. Turtle sold separately.

As our world becomes more and more digital, Microsoft is taking note and announced that every game that becomes available for the Xbox One will also receive a digital copy on the same day of release through Xbox Live. This makes sense, as all Xbox One games must be installed to the console’s hard drive
