This LEGO Star Wars Trench-Run Is One In A Million
While I'm impressed by the attention to detail in this re-creation of Star Wars' iconic last ditch torpedo-shot (as displayed at the Brickworld LEGO convention and photographed by Peter Mowry), I'm almost more impressed with how effectively it captures the mess of grey junk that covers the exterior of the Death Star.
MIT developed this program which allows users to interface with a 3D character that judges your body
MIT developed this program which allows users to interface with a 3D character that judges your body language—it's called MACH and it's meant to help you socialize better. Reminds me of project Milo a little bit—can you imagine having games where the characters can read your body language like this? It's probably coming, judging from the tech in the Kinect.
Goodbye, GameCube Controller. It's Been Fun.
Like any Smash Bros. fan, I've taken in the news of a Wii U iteration with great joy. Look at the awesome new characters! No tripping? Hooray! It'll find a sweet spot between casual and hardcore play? Excellent! And yet, there's a tinge of melancholy about it all: the Wii U doesn't have a GameCube controller port.
A Fresh Look At Gravity Ghost, The Little Indie Mario Galaxy That Could
It's been a full year since we last checked in with Gravity Ghost, developer Erin Robinson's 2D take on gravitation-influenced platforming and Mario Galaxy-like star-collecting. We caught up with Robinson again at E3 2013 to see how the game is shaping up. Short version: It's looking great.
State of Decay Still En Route To PC, Though Who Knows When
I first watched Chris playing the enjoyable-looking (and hugely popular) Xbox 360 zombie survival game State of Decay, I've wanted to dive in and play it. But I've also wanted to wait for it to come to PC. Good news, then: The game is certainly going to arrive on Steam, though it's still not clear when.
Nintendo Wants To Re-Convince You The Wii U Gamepad Is Cool
Nintendo has been having a bit of a tough time communicating just what the Wii U is all about. In particular, the company still seems unable to clearly articulate just why the Wii U's gamepad—a combination game-controller and touchscreen—makes their system worth buying. Perhaps, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata suggests, it's time for some new ideas.
A New Camera Angle Steals the Scene in NCAA Football's Running Game
The biggest breakthrough for your running game in NCAA Football 14 may not be smarter line blocking, the return of a speed burst, or the introduction of real-time physics. It may be as simple as a new camera angle, available today in the game's demo. You should see it. You should play with it.
What If There Were Tons Of Cats Roaming E3 And No One Noticed?
With the tens of thousands of people that descend on the Los Angeles Convention Center every year for the Electronic Entertainment Expo, it can be easy to miss seeing a few people. But this year was a little different. Cats roamed the showfloor and no one even seemed to notice. Let's look at the evidence, shall we?
Sony Actually Has A Very Different Future In Mind For PlayStation 4
Sony's successful, if counter-intuitive next-gen message for the PlayStation 4 at last week's E3 is that things won't change. No disc DRM changes. No new online checks for PS4. You might think Sony doesn't want gaming to change in the PS4 era. Oh, but they do.

Even Infinity Ward Is Split on Killing Call of Duty Dog
Will they? Won't they? Following the reveal of Riley, Call of Duty: Ghost's awesome dog, people couldn't help but wonder about Call of Duty Dog's fate—especially when it would be so easy, if not cliche, to off the dog in an attempt to make an emotional powerplay.
In The Miiverse, Only The Villager Can Hear Your Screams
Of the announcements Nintendo made at E3, none were as meme-ready as the inclusion of The Villager from Animal Crossing in Smash Bros. With his terrifying, lifeless eyes, the internet got to work saying exactly what we were all thinking.
