Wolf Link from Twilight Princess Makes a Badass Statue
Link’s Twilight form, immortalized in statue… form. It took the artist several long weeks, but I’d say it was worth it. Said artist is VIIStar, sculptor and illustrator, and Wolf Link is a commission piece based on First 4 Figures’ Midna and Wolf Link statue from 2011. Here’s a couple photos of it: Of course,…

Deus Ex Mod Lets You Murder People with Couches
You know how in Deus Ex, you’d throw an item at an NPC, even with level 4 muscle augs activated, and it’d bounce off of them harmlessly and they’d make a snide comment? Thanks to GMDX, those days are over. While GMDX is not a new mod—it’s currently at version seven—it seems this upcoming release…

Celebrating Fifteen Years of No One Lives Forever
On November 9, 2000, the saga of superspy Cate Archer kicked off with the release of The Operative: No One Lives Forever. What followed was a thrilling spy adventure spanning two awesome stealth first-person-shooters (and one straight-up shooter, with a different protagonist, that nobody really talks about). As Cate Archer, you’d carry out various missions…

The Best Xbox One To Play Fallout 4 On
A very post-apocalyptic Xbox One, straight from Vault 111, brought to you by RobCo/Vault-Tec/Fallout fan Thorhack. Shame it’s not nuclear-powered. This custom Xbox One was built by Thorhack, who spent two weeks working on it. It’s made using actual rusty metal (one of the few contexts where this is a good thing) and comes with…

GameFAQs Celebrates 20 Years of Tips, Tricks, Cheats and Walkthroughs
On November 5, 1995, a gamer called CJayC created the Video Game FAQ Archive. Later known as GameFAQs, the site was a hub for video game walkthroughs and FAQs, and later cheats, savegames, screenshots and so on. And that’s what it is today, only it’s a lot bigger than it used to be. While GameFAQs…

Students Remake Metal Gear Solid’s Heliport in Unreal Engine 4
A nine-week class project carried out by four people, resulting in some cool Metal Gear Solid fanart. The heliport was one of the first areas Snake entered on Shadow Moses Island in MGS. It’s also revisited much later, in a dream sequence, during MGS4. As far as Metal Gear locations go, it’s fairly iconic—which is…

Retro RTS fans, take note: the African Kingdoms expansion for Age of Empires II HD hits at the end of the week. Here’s what that’ll entail. There’s four new civilizations along with four new, fully voice-acted campaigns (the lack of voice acting was a fairly common complaint with AoE II HD’s first, otherwise well-received, expansion).…

Mario Takes Over a Sonic Game
The game is Sonic Generations. Or rather, Super Mario Generations, thanks to modder group Daku & Squiz. The mod (via DSOGaming), which has been in the works for a couple years now, basically lets you play through Sonic Generations as Mario, with the supporting characters also getting turned into various Mario ones like Peach, Donkey…

Mario Sure Likes To Play Dress-up
This piece of fanart illustrates just twelve of Mario’s many, many outfits. Here’s the artwork itself: Called “A Fashionable Plumber,” it was drawn by Dave Bardin, a freelance illustrator, over the course of several months. It would make a cool poster. There’s a sampling of Bardin’s other works below. You can find more, mostly comic-related,…

Behold, The Zelda Ukulele
Dubbed the Ocalele of Time, this is an Ocarina of Time-inspired, handmade ukulele that also happens to look like an ocarina (albeit with tiny guitar parts attached). It was made by Nobo13, a man on a mission to craft one ukulele a month. He’s made two other gaming-themed instruments so far: one with a Triforce…
