Metroid’s Samus Aran Made from Nintendo Cartridges" alt="Click here to read Feast Your Eyes on Metroid’s Samus Aran Made from Nintendo Cartridges" src="http://cache.kotaku.com/assets/images/9/2011/11/small_1c86bdc05d9d303077f0bb3552ff8cc3.png"/>

How tall would Samus Aran be in real life? The seller on this eBay item claims that it's life-size so, if this crafty piece of artwork's to be believed, she'd be about 5'6" (165 cm, for you metric-heads). The sculpture's made from defunct Nintendo games from the Japanese publisher's legacy systems, like the Game Boy, Nintendo Entertainment System and Nintendo 64. Originally commissioned for used games retailer JJGames, it now needs a new home. Surely some retro enthusiast out there can give Samus a loving home? More »

The Book Of The CCG Of The MMO

Mike Fahey — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 11:40:52 EST

More accurately it's the coffee table art book of the collectible card game of the massively-multiplayer online role-playing game of the real-time strategy game, but headline space is at a premium these days, what with the war and all. Upper Deck and Blizzard have banded together to create 'World of Warcraft: The Art of the Trading Card Game', which features over 300 full-color works of art that has appeared in the CCG over the past year, available in January. You'll find artwork from names like Greg Staples of Judge Dredd and Todd McFarlane of running your franchise into the ground fame.

"World of Warcraft is a global phenomenon that boasts a large base of people who not only actively play the online game and TCG, but who also really enjoy the artwork in the games," said Tim Muret, Vice President of Upper Deck Authenticated. "We wanted to release a book for these players as well as celebrate the great work of these artists."

I just wish they had announced this before I bought over 1,000 cards worth of a game I've played twice, just to look at the pretty pictures. More »

Kotaku Fridgu - Earthworm Jim: the Life Studies

egauger — Thu, 26 Oct 2006 19:40:54 EDT

This is quickly snowballing, and I couldn't be more pleased. For one thing, I like having a monopoly on a certain brand of post here on Kotaku. Being able to avoid the usual vicious pit fight in the employee "lounge" over the latest Shigeru interview gets tiresome quickly. More »
