If The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Were A Classic Platformer
The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker in HD has been out for a while now, so we’re all pretty clear on how great it looks. But now pixel artist Dean Bottino shows us that this art style goes really well with anything, even if it’s a 16-bit, painted demake of the game. Gameplay mechanics would…

Kotaku EastThe Entire Opening Of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Remade In MS Paint
Microsoft Paint is probably not the best tool to remake anime openings (or anything), especially not the superb one for JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, and I’m pretty sure it took OurFinalForm a million billion hours to finish this masterpiece. It’s not just a replica of the original. The creators changed most of the scenes and filled…

Rebel Bikes is a series of amazing post apocalyptic illustrations by artist Ignacio Bazán Lazcano, with really badass bikers and vehicles. They’re on the same level as actual video game concept art, but sadly it’s just the artist’s own project. It could be great for a game with heavily pimped bikes, though. Dayshot is an…

The Honest Guide to DayZ
Forming squads, gearing up and taking down zombies. That’s what DayZ is all about, right? Well, not entirely. Falling off ladders, dying from rotten bananas and being chased by zombies that can walk through walls, while trying to find players nearby? That’s more like it! Here’s an animated (and slightly NSFW) guide to DayZ from…

The open world zombie survival MMO Rust must be one of those games, where shooting someone will not just freak out the victim, but also the shooter himself, thanks to glitches like this above.
