Inspired by CG+’s Star Wars: Reimaginedcontest (which we’ve already covered, and which he missed out on entering), artist Lap Pun Cheung has drawn a few images of his own taking the galaxy far, far away and injecting it up to its eyeballs with Studio Ghibli’s aesthetic. We actually showcased Cheung’s work fairly recently, but this…
For the last two years, cosplayer and props builder Eric Newgard has been recreating weapons from Destiny. The results are spectacular. From Gjallarhorn to Fatebringer, swords to loot chests, he’s produced (with help from some friends, including Zander Brandt, who we’ve featured here before) weapons that look like something that should be hung on the…

This team effort from SourceRuns isn’t your average speedrun, but that’s what makes the way they blow through Valve’s classic all the more entertaining. Via PC Gamer, it’s a run that makes use of an old 2006 build of the game, one that’s got different physics and movement values to the 2016 model. This run…
Prog Wang is an artist based in California who has done stuff with companies like id Software and design studio Gadget Bot. The top pic is a starship concept that’s esentially a giant 3D printer, able to make both its own ships and other printers, which it can drop onto planets to go printing more…
Hollywood design and effects legend Steve Wang, who has worked on everything from Predator to Hellboy, was recently commissioned to build a new League of Legends statue for Riot Games.

We get a lot of Rey, Finn and Kylo Ren cosplay around here, but master props builder Shawn Thorsson has turned his eye towards one of the cooler and more obscure designs from Force Awakens: the new TIE pilots. Beginning with 3D models, Thorsson built a few suits from scratch, making everything from the helmets…
Tyler1, a popular League of Legends streamer who recently made a name for himself as a poster boy for toxic behaviour in the game, has been “indefinitely” banned by Riot. Previously a relatively small-timer on Twitch, Tyler1’s popularity exploded earlier this month after word got out that his streams featured non-stop trolling, including everything from…
Companies like Facebook aren’t pouring billions into VR just for games. They see the wider possibilities for the tech. As do media outlets like The Guardian, who have released a VR app called 6×9 that simulates the “psychological damage of extreme isolation” in a solitary confinement prison cell. “Right now, more than 80,000 people are…

I have never played a game like Offworld Trading Company If you go to buy it from a store, it’ll be listed as a strategy game. If you read up on it, you’ll know that it was designed by Civilization IV’s Soren Johnson. If you look at a screenshot, you’ll see lots of little buildings…
Looks like metal, doesn’t it? Iron Mark Props’ suit is actually painted EVA foam, cut to perfection to give that real nice “fitted” look. We’ve seen some good Iron Man cosplay here before, some of it downright spectacular, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen one fit as perfectly as Robert Downey’s CG. If you…
Xbox France had three of these consoles made up as a promo for The Latest Comic Book Movie™. You can’t buy them, but you can look at them and wonder why we can’t at least get that controller. The console itself is…a bit much, though the arc reactor effect in the middle is nice. I’m…
Hey, remember that unfinished Neo Geo fighting game that was discovered lurking on an arcade board? And how nobody knew what the hell it was? The man behind the game has been found, and he’s been able to reveal all kinds of stuff about it. Having seen the footage of the unfinished game, Japanese site…
There are new Tomb Raider movies coming, which means a new cinematic Lara Croft. And while Camilla Luddington did a fantastic job in the last two games, the big screen role has gone to Ex Machina’s Alicia Vikander. Vikander (who I loved in Man From U.N.C.L.E.) is going to be playing a similar Croft to…
If you thought the first video game console Sony made was the PlayStation, nope. It was just the first video game console Sony released Yes, before the PlayStation, before even Sony’s ill-fated collaboration with Nintendo, came this beauty. I’ll be honest, I’d never seen it until yesterday, when art/history site Video Games Densetsu posted a…

Earlier today a pic did the rounds showing what was claimed to be a retail flyer, showing that certain versions of 2016’s Call of Duty—likely calledInfinite Warfare—will also include a copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered.
