G8brand brings it on with daring new apparel for gamers

I’ve seen enoughcheesy gamer shirtsto last me a lifetime. That’s why a company likeG8catches my attention by taking a different type of approach. The concept here is both brand-aware and dynamic – a more understated look for some styles and a totally over the top look for others. TheTetrisandSpaceprints are my personal favorites, but I’m definitely interested to see more of what they will do in the future. The goal is to go for a Quiksilver type of brand, but aimed at the gamer lifestyle and produced in limited quantity....

Now it’s poised to make a return withSport, which is due in October. One point of contention withGT6however was its microtransactions.

Here are the 8 absolute worst bosses in the Souls series

Here’s everything you’re missing if you’re not in the Gears of War 4 beta yet

Unless you are in it A few days ago,Steven used his wordsto describe theGears of War 4multiplayer beta.

It’s an absurdity that is conveyed by video, but isn’t emphasized by video....

Not a lot of it, and we all carry it in individual amounts, some more overburdened with it than others; but, at the very least, there were some video games we werelooking forward to playing in 2016....
