Halo: Helljumper, the fan-made web series centered on marine culture in the Halo universe, begins before contact with the Covenant. These greenhorns won't be finishing the fight. They've only just started it. More »

I don't know about you, but when I have slingshot-paintball-fights with my friends, I generally wish they could be a touch more video-gamey. Filmmaker Andrew McMurry agrees, putting together this a live action film that that weaves normalcy with a convincing digital overlay to give things a distinctly video game feel. More »

Clips: Next-Gen Mnage Trois

fdemarco — Sat, 17 Mar 2007 12:00:00 EDT

In these days of rabid fanboyism it's rare to find someone who can step beyond the hate and love all three consoles equally. Kotakuite NYTrigga101 has done just that with three new videos that he's posted up on Gamtrailers that would make MTV jealous. His three pieces titled Reasons to get a PS3, Reasons to get an Xbox 360 and Reasons to get a Wii are all odes to their respective consoles, highlighting some of the best games for each. My favorite is the insane Elebits portion of the Wii video with the little Elebits dancing about like chorus girls from a Busby Berkely film. Each video is accompanied by a song from different bands including Nickleback, Blink 182 and Trapt. Being the senior member of the Kotaku staff (in age only mind you) I have no idea who any of those bands are with the exception of Blink 182 and the only thing I know about them is they have that guy with all the tattoos. Thank god I don't write for a music blog. More »

Clips: Bloody Prince Of Persia Commercial

fdemarco — Thu, 28 Dec 2006 12:41:22 EST

I found this video posted on Gamevideos under "TV spots". It's what appears to be a fan made Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones commercial from the U.K., but I can't be too sure. It has a certain slickness to it that leads me to believe it might actually be real. Either way, it's pretty damn hilarious and it's definitely the most surprised I've ever been at the end of a commercial. And they worry about Rule of Rose? Flynn De Marco More »

Fan Made Wii Commercial: Somebody Give This Guy A Job!

fdemarco — Sun, 03 Dec 2006 19:00:05 EST

Fan made creations always range from the sublime to the ridiculous. This one definitely falls into the former category. This was made for the "Win a Wii" contest put on by Xataka.com and is based on the PS3 SIXAXIS ad with the eggs and the ravens. Bravo, ciclopez, we hope you won! Flynn De Marco More »

Wind Waker Wii Mash Up Hilarity

Michael McWhertor — Sat, 21 Oct 2006 14:04:03 EDT

Okay, "hilarity" might be too strong a word, but after being impressed by the fan-made effort of the Wii wand making Link go Wind Waker wacky, I'll admit there was a slight titter near the end. Nice work, Dan Flynn, and thanks for the tip Hanibal. Michael McWhertor More »

Can't Stop Those SNK Witch Pants from Materializing

Brian Ashcraft — Mon, 09 Oct 2006 12:22:50 EDT

For latecomers: Next year, SNK is going to release a witch-hunt-touch game (just named a new sub-genre!) called Doki Doki Majo Saiban. Can't wait? Well, game site Insert Credit directs our attention to a sexed up, fan-made flash *rimshot* version. Doubt the SNK game will be this saucy, but this imagined version shows "Witch Check Mode." Click on the character's slash, but just know, that as hard as you try, you cannot take off the lady's underpants. Proving? She's a witch. Obviously. Brian Ashcraft More »

Stop The Stop Motion Katamari

Brian Ashcraft — Wed, 19 Jul 2006 09:22:13 EDT

Namco's Katamari Damacy was one of those games that totally caught me off guard the first time I played it. I hadn't seen anything like it and was genuinely trying to figure out what the hizzy heck was going on. That took all of ten seconds. Then I was ready to move on and not have anything to do with the game. The same can be said about this fan-made stop motion clip. Though, ten seconds is being kind. Brian Ashcraft More »

Fan-Made Revolution Box Art

lsmith — Mon, 20 Feb 2006 16:40:51 EST

There is nothing official about the fan-made Revolution Box art at this LiveJournal. However, the box arts are officially cool. Nintendo should consider using the "blue energy line" theme (see image) as it provides a slick foil to Microsoft's "green ball of life." There's two more images after the jump, and make sure you check the links below for all of them. More »

A Fanmade, 2D Halo Game

At one point, people thought the 2D Halo game would be for a handheld — it turned out to be this, a fanmade Halo game in 2D. It looks pretty slick and has a bunch of modes and options. Now, if only Bungie would say something about Halo 3. The best part? It's a free download. More »
