The male gaze is on my character creator

Why do I love my impossible beauty standards? I approach character creators like I am the God of Beauty who is very bored. I have spent accumulated hours stretching mouths and bringing cheekbones up, no, down, no up again, to create a character that is so hot, so physically perfect that I justhaveto play the game, which, sometimes, I don’t even enjoy.

Theatrical action! Fresh Black Knight Sword footage

Back at gamescom,Black Knight Swordgrabbed my attention, but not for very long. What little I had seen didn’t tell me much about anything other than the admittedly neat art design. The side-scrolling lovechild between Digital Reality and Grasshopper Manufacture is given a proper introduction with this trailer, and yep, it’s a weird one. A creepy voice telling us to “Jump! Jump! Jump!”, bloody puppets, and whatever the hell that thing was near the end — (strange) business as usual....

Am I the only one that wants Culdcept for the 3DS?

Have you playedCuldcept? If you haven’t, it’s a highly competitive strategy card/board game that is like a blend of the best parts ofMonopolyandMagic: The Gathering.
