You’ve Got Your Portal In My LEGO! ‘LEGO Dimensions’ Dishes On The Portal Themed Level

by Shane O'Hare

The wondrously hyped (and extremely expensive) LEGO Dimensions seems to be the ultimate “Toys to Game” property out there. When Gandalf, Marty McFly, Batman and Chell can all run through a Portal testing chamber together, you’ve got my attention.

Our own Josh Jackson has lamented the cost prohibitve nature of LEGO Dimensions. With some of the models and expansions yielding $30 for one hour of gameplay, I have to agree.

LEGO Dimensions is currently out on all platforms, sans PC Masterrace.

From The Creators of ‘Fallout: Nuka Break’, Watch The Trailer For ‘Aperture R&D’!

by Derek Kraneveldt

If you’re a Fallout fan (and what gamer isn’t?), you’re likely well aware of Fallout: Nuka Break, the fantastic fan film set in Bethesda’s atmospheric world.

 

The folks at Wayside Creations are at it again, this time taking on a Valve IP. Aperture R&D follows the scientists of the Aperture research labs… well, before everything went down with GLaDOS.

 

Watch the trailer for the series below, and let us know what you think! Aperture R&D premieres on March 15th!

 

 

Based in the world of Portal 2, the idiosyncratic scientists of Aperture Research Labs are in an endless battle for the meaningless title of Lab Team of the Month.

‘Portal 2’ Gets Full Playstation Move Support On November 6th!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Over 1 and a half years have passed since gamers first fell in love withPortal 2, and PS3 players are about to get a new feature. A patch for the game will release on November 6th. This patch will allow you to use your (possibly dusty) move peripherals to control Chell, Atlas, and P-Body. The move controller will work in both single player and co-op modes.

A new DLC bundle will also release this coming Tuesday. While Valve DLC is typically free, the Sixsense Developed In Motion pack will run you $9.99. The pack includes 20 new chambers for you to test in, and features object manipulation not found in the original game.

I’m excited: my Move controllers haven’t been touched in quite some time, and I’m always down for another playthrough of Portal 2! The DLC also looks insane!

Are you planning to pick up the DLC? How about play through the campaign with Playstation Move?
