Put simply: How would you feel if a game’s ending told you that you were a bad person for viewing and enjoying the events that had transpired? Will our heroes choose the correct culprit, bringing the story to a satisfying conclusion while paving the way for the next killing game to take place? Or will they give into “despair,” forcing one of their own to take the fall, allowing the current killing game to continue? It’s in these final moments that the weight of the decisions made at similar junc

GAME OF THE YEAR 2017#1: THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: BREATH OF THE WILDFor Game of the Year 2017 , Polygon has been counting down our top 10 each weekday. In 2017, I thought about, read about, wrote about and played more Breath of the Wild than any other game. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild pushes the implications of this philosophical query to their logical limits. I know damn well that Breath of the Wild is a Legend of Zelda game.

The Federal Communications Commission voted to repeal net neutrality yesterday in a 3-2 vote, giving internet service providers the ability to monetize or block content online. About 26 seconds into the video, it cuts off, and the remainder of the video plays with an obnoxious buffering symbol. Front Page Tech uploaded a similar video, which shows just how difficult browsing YouTube could become if net neutrality is repealed. This isn’t the first time that YouTubers have used buffering or “packa

Groudon, the legendary Pokémon that graces the cover of Pokémon Ruby, has landed in Pokémon Go. Groudon is the first legendary from the third generation of games to be obtainable in Pokémon Go. The window to battle and capture Groudon is lengthy: Players have until 1 p.m. PT on Jan. 15, 2018 to catch it.

Just like The Force Awakens before it, Star Wars: The Last Jedi is filled with blink-and-you’ll-miss-them celebrity cameos. Ellie GouldingThe singer teased her own Star Wars cameo just before the film’s release. Has anybody seen Star Wars yet and seen someone who resembles me in it awkward if I got cut. The Star Wars superfan, whose Baby Driver was one of the year’s most entertaining, stylish action films, also plays a rebel soldier. pic.twitter.com/8e3CaziJyu — edgarwright (@edgarwright) Decemb

If you played Destiny, you may be familiar with Xur, the weekly exotic item merchant. This scales to your character’s power level, so make sure you’re buying Xur exotics on your highest level character. Its weapon archetype is fast firing, which means the damage per shot is very low. The exotic perk on DARCI is Personal Assistant, which causes the gun to highlight critical information about the target when aimed down the site. Three of CoinsThis old farming buff has returned from the Destiny gra

There’s a lot riding on Rian Johnson now that Star Wars: The Last Jedi is in theaters. [Warning: The following contains major spoilers for Star Wars: The Last Jedi.] Johnson’s take on Star Wars allows the audience decide for themselves who these people are.

The Super NT has an in-game menu, a feature that certainly wasn’t available to the original Super Nintendo. But one of the most notable design elements in the Super NT menu is the option to toggle between a Super Famicom and Super Nintendo color palette. Here they are side by side:It’s worth repeating that the Super NT is essentially a Super Nintendo. Instead, the Super NT is singularly focused on creating a pixel-perfect, lag-free, high-definition Super Nintendo. Unlike the slick UI of Nintendo

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is out, and it’s hard to contain our excitement about it. I get it: It’s really hard to not talk about the movie you’ve just seen, especially if it’s Star Wars and doubly so if it’s a good Star Wars movie. Unless it’s an obvious jokes that everyone is in on, it’s easier and more respectful just to avoid talking about Star Wars for now. The question is how long this moratorium on Star Wars conversations should be in place? Star Wars: The Last Jedi is now in theaters.
