TV series Lost has a few trademark images, but few are as “Lost-y” as the mysterious hatch that turns up early in the show’s lifespan. A hatch that can also be found in the newly-released Just Cause 2. To get the full “wandering through the jungle” effect, you can watch the whole video above. If…
Let’s say someone built a replica of Modern Warfare 2’s training level, “The Pit”. And then felt like challenging a real soldier to go through it, while they played the level on computer. Fancy watching? Oh yeah. We featured this level a few weeks ago, built for a challenge on a British TV show. Well,…

Let’s imagine, for a moment, that the original Legend of Zelda was not developed in Japan, but Israel (or Hollywood). And that it does not tell the tale of Hyrule, but the tale of the Jewish exodus from Egypt. The resulting game, The Exodus Of Zelda, which comes complete with unleavened croissants, worrying Jewish grandmothers…
Ooohh, politics! Well, not really. More like humorous insight, with a Facebook group springing up based on the premise that the health care afforded to Pokémons trumps that offered to real, breathing Americans. “Universal Health Care: Good enough for Pokémon, Good enough for America” is the name of the group, and it has a point.…
Team Fortress and Persona? Not the most likely of bedfellows, we’ll admit, but that’s an assumption made before watching this amazing video. It’s the opening to JRPG Persona 4, only, with Team Fortress 2 characters. To compare the two, you can check out the original Persona sequence here Just goes to show, whether it’s in…
There was a Mario movie once. It was awful. There was also a Zelda cartoon. Same story. So you can understand why, when Hollywood comes-a-knockin’ these days, Nintendo are quick to reply with “nothankyou”. Asked by the LA Times whether there’s still interest in doing things with the rights to Nintendo franchises like Zelda, Mario…
It’s been on, off, on, then off again, and now, for the third time, somebody is trying to make a movie based on classic 1983 arcade game Spy Hunter. When movie studio Warner Bros. purchased embattled publisher Midway last year, it got for its money the rights to a Spy Hunter movie. Believing there’s money…
If you remember the last time Nintendo revealed a new piece of hardware (the Revolution/Wii) it was ages before people got their hands on the thing. The 3DS, on the other hand, will be playable in less than three months. Nintendo spokesman Ken Toyoda said yesterday that “We wanted to give the gaming industry a…
Upcoming Xbox 360 RPG Fable III may be following in the footsteps of its predecessor and going “episodic”, according to comments from the game’s creator, Peter Molyneux. “We’ve always had a feel for Fable as a game that’s got a big story, that starts in King Arthurs time and goes through this big arc so…
Overnight, Nintendo made the surprising decision to reveal a new piece of hardware months outside of E3. Well, “reveal” might be too strong a word. “Barely mention” might be more appropriate, leaving us to fill in the gaps ourselves. With curiosity being a driving human instinct, and Nintendo doing little to satisfy our need for…
Prepare for an eery sense of deja vu, Heavy Rain fans, as you watch actor Sam Douglas – the face and voice of Heavy Rain’s Scott Shelby – play exactly the same role in a real movie. Trenchcoat and all. The scene is from Derailed, a 2005 film starring Clive Owen (Children of Men) and…
BioShock and Batman. Apart from the “B” thing, you wouldn’t think the two had a thing in common. But then, you’d only say that if you hadn’t seen a 1994 episode of the Batman animated series, called “Deep Freeze”. In this episode, an intelligent, if slightly deranged man builds a city in the middle of…
Last year, a patent was uncovered for a Wii football. It had been designed by Nintendo, and yet, it was stupid. Well, looks like somebody else has beat the Big N to the market. CTA Digital, manufacturers of cheap gaming peripherals and accessories, has released the “Soft-football for Wii”, a product so stupid it couldn’t…
So, there’s new Nintendo hardware on the way. It’s a 3D handheld system. How, though, will that 3D work? Maybe a recent obscure DSi release offers some clues. Since we know absolutely nothing about the new handheld other than the fact it will employ 3D and won’t need glasses, all we’ve left on how it…
While Portal’s clean white rooms were the visual star of the first game, Chell, the player’s character in the game, was also memorable. For Portal 2, however, that trademark orange jumpsuit has gone straight out the window. A feature over on Game Informer has revealed a number of pieces of concept art for the game…
Steampunk may be growing a little long in the tooth as far as internet crazes go, but that doesn’t mean we turn our backs on it completely. Fancy steampunk Game Boys, for example, are worth a second look. Designed by Game Boy modder Thretris, it’s an original 1989 model, and comes with not just a…
A new service launches tomorrow, called GameCrush, where men can pay money to play over Xbox Live with an “attractive girl” (Warning: NSFW) Yes, this is real Interested, lonely men (or cashed up pranksters) can sign up to the site, and once there, choose from two options: play a simple Flash game (checkers, etc) against…
As with other classes in the game, there are two gender options for Diablo III’s Witch Doctor. We saw the male one months ago, but the female one has only been revealed today. So let’s take a look. While her feathered in-game model looks a lot like that of her male counterpart, the Witch Doctor’s…
Alex Kobbs, creator of LEGO “film” Battle of the Brick, is a busy man, for not only is he making a stop-motion movie based on Halo, he’s just made one based on XBLA shooter Geometry Wars as well. Called Geometry – Everything you need to know!, it’s the tale of what happens when you sit…
