Not Even Unreal Engine 4 Can Tame The Fiery Depths of Death Mountain

Link first passed the Death Mountain Crater on his way to the Fire Temple in Ocarina of Time, but it was a lot more blocky and a lot less particle effect-y back then. The creator of this map is of course none other than CryZENx, whose shiny Unreal Engine 4 recreations have entertained us many…

Minecraft is Gorgeous in Unreal Engine 4

What we’ve got here is a “Minecraft-Like Infinite Voxel World” built in Unreal Engine 4. In layman’s terms, it’s a very pretty but limited Minecraft demo running in a triple-A game engine.

Sylvanas Windrunner, Forsaken Queen, Looking Badass (and Mildly NSFW)

In this particular piece of 3D fan art, Sylvanas, leader of World of Warcraft’s Forsaken, poses in her new set of armor, which appears to lack somewhat in the pants department.
