9 Awesome Video Game Heists

Battlefield Hardline and Grand Theft Auto Online have shown a new generation of gamers the joy of planning and taking part in intricately planned heists. But they aren’t the first game to make us feel like we’re George Clooney in Ocean’s 11.

Below are nine more notable heists in games that would make Danny Ocean damn proud:

With his unparalleled athleticism and vast arsenal of gadgets, Sam Fisher could easily moonlight as a world class cat burglar. So it makes perfect sense he would eventually find himself robbing a high-security bank – as matter of national security, of course.

Fisher’s government employer, Third Echelon, needs to take a peek at some financial records within a Panamanian bank, but to cover any tracks of America’s involvement, Fisher will also need to cop a few millions in French bonds. Like Ethan Hunt with a back problem, you rappel down into the lobby via a skylight and slink your way through laser grids and ventilation shafts. To pop open the vault, you use EMP charges stowed away in a safety deposit box and a telemetric lock pick that would make Q blush.

How Troy Baker Got The Job in Far Cry 4 is Kinda Insane

Prolific voice actor Troy Baker has revealed how he managed to land the role of villain Pagan Min in Far Cry 4, and it turns out it involved threatening to murder an assistant.

Speaking at a panel for Indy PopCon 2015 (via Underground Geek Network), Baker talks extensively about his history with voice acting as well as reminisces about some of his most successful roles. The entire thing is worth a watch, but a particular standout moment is when he recalls how he landed the role of Pagan Min.

He explains he was trying to channel elements of Christoph Waltz's character in Inglorious Basterds - someone who is clearly a psychopath, yet has immense fun with it. To this end, when he relayed an exchange that took part when the casting assistant in charge of making sure the room had enough coffee and water in walked into the room.

The Last Guardian Would Have Been Cancelled Without Fans

Sony has admitted it "probably would have" cancelled The Last Guardian if people had stopped asking about it.

Speaking to the latest issue of Edge magazine (via Videogamer), SCE Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida talked about the technical issues the game encountered on PS3, and the rocky road to transferring development to PS4.

 really, really tough. Especially because we were not sure if the game could be made," he said. "Tech issues aside, the game was still early in development, so we had to have a really strong desire to continue the project and rebuild on PS4. And of course we believed in the vision of Ueda-san, and Ueda-san and the core teams really wanted to see this realised, and so did I. Having so many people asking us about the game was great encouragement for us to continue the development."

Mortal Kombat X #8 Review

At this point, Mortal Kombat X has established itself as a fundamentally solid comic with lackluster execution. When the series takes the time to narrow its focus and remain fixated on one group of characters, the results are enjoyable. But too often it gets caught up in the ever more complex web of conspiracies and betrayals linking the MK cast. Issue #8 falls victim to that familiar trap at times, but also rises above more often than not.

The first chapter in this issue is easily the weakest, as Shawk Kittelsen's script clumsily bounces between the Johnny Cage/Sonya Blade thread, the Scorpion thread, the Raiden threads, and various other running conflicts. The scripting improves in the second chapter, however, as Kittelsen focuses largely on fleshing out the rise and fall of the Johnny/Sonya romance in the years after Mortal Kombat 9. These scenes are far too brief. but still vital in exploring a softer side to both characters. This chapter also gives the book a bit of the humor that it too often lacks.

Australia's Getting its First Queer Gaming Festival in GX

Queer gaming festival GX, formally known as GaymerX, is coming to Sydney.

GX Australia is an LGBT-focused event designed to emphasize "inclusivity across the board", says organizer Joshua Meadows.

"GaymerX in the US has renamed itself to GX, to put less of an emphasis on the "gaymer" part that had caused some confusion as to whether or not the convention was only intended for gay men, or was unwelcoming to people who aren't in the queer community, and stuff like that", Meadows said.

"We've been discussing this with the US team behind GX  since they originally launched their event in 2013, and we're very excited that after the success of GaymerX in San Francisco, Australia was picked as the first international location for the convention."
