BlizzCon returns to Anaheim in November
Start 
prepping your cosplay getups — BlizzCon is a go.

How many F-bombs are in GTA V? Gamer counts the curses
Franklin, 
Michael and Trevor — the three protagonists of Grand Theft Auto V — are a potty-mouthed bunch. But now there’s conclusive proof that they’re among the crudest characters in video game history.
Youtuber TheMediocreScot spent the last five months compiling every F-bomb from last year’s biggest release, and it’s pretty, um, “impressive”: the game drops it some 1,018 times from beginning to end.
USA Network’s founder brings video to Third World
Kay 
Koplovitz has already made her mark on the cable television scene twice over, but now the founder of the USA and SyFy networks has her eyes on a new prize: globalization.
Beaming video to the technologically-advanced parts of the world is one thing, she noted. But there are wide swaths of the planet missing out on the current content revolution.
Google, Apple battle for mobile gaming exclusives
Microsoft 
vs. Sony is no longer the biggest battle in the video game world. These days it’s Apple vs. Google — and it’s proving to be a lucrative fight for game makers.
Just as the console giants regularly battle it out for third-party exclusive games, the kingpins of mobile are turning their sights on game developers as they look to widen their market share.
Oculus Rift lets dying woman take a final walk ‘outside’
As 
cancer began taking its toll on Roberta Firstenberg, it started stealing things she had long loved and taken for granted. Chief among those was the ability to take a simple walk around her yard.
Granddaughter (and game artist) Priscilla Firstenberg, though, managed to outwit the disease and give Roberta a few final strolls using an Oculus Rift headset.
Could virtual reality flop again?
Facebook’s 
$2 billion deal to acquire Oculus last month marked the biggest bet yet on the resurgence of virtual reality.
While any price tag that hefty for an unfinished, unproven technology is bound to spark investor second-guessing, it’s hardly a surprise that this purchase is being especially scrutinized. Like 3-D, virtual reality is a concept that has been touted for years, but has always failed to live up to its potential—and historically been rejected by consumers.
PS4 outsells Xbox One, Titanfall tops charts in stellar March
Gamers 
may not be buying a ton of games these days, but they’re sure gobbling up game systems.
Sales of video game hardware in March were up a massive 78 percent in March as compared to a year ago, according to The NPD Group. Console sales more than doubled as demand continues for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4. That surge in hardware sales led to a 3 percent climb in overall sales versus March 2013.
10 awesome video games you’ll never play
Whether 
due to poor execution, game-crashing bugs, or corner-cutting development, sometimes the game you’ve been looking forward to the most turns out to be a waste of time and money. But nothing’s more wasteful than a great game that never comes out.
No matter how good a game might look in previews, publishers routinely kill off titles for a variety of reasons, often to the consternation of players. The latest victim? World of Darkness, an online vampire game that held tremendous promise. But instead of turning us into undead legends, it’s just another awesome game we’ll never get the chance to play.
Snoop Dogg is ready to narrate your Call of Duty: Ghosts matches
The 
breakout star of Call of Duty: Ghosts was the dog. Could the breakout star of the game’s downloadable content be the Doggy Dogg?
Call of Duty: Ghosts, which has been getting stranger with each recent DLC release, has amped up the weirdness with a new ‘voice pack’ featuring none other than the rapper/actor/weed enthusiast.
