Hobbiton, Via Minecraft, Is Just Beautiful

Just when I thought I was sick to death of seeing these kind of things, along comes a Tolkien tribute to blow my socks off. This is Tolkien’s Hobbiton, recreated in Minecraft. It’s at 1:58 scale, on a map that’s 3500×2500 blocks in size, and is terrifyingly “accurate” not just in how it sticks to…

Fallout 4, Reimagined As An Isometric Game

Fallout 1 & 2 were isometric games. Fallout 4 is not. But because the first two were a big inspiration for Stasis developer and artist Chris Bischoff, and because Stasis is also an isometric game, he’s gone and imagined Fallout 4 as one too That fluttering sound you hear is millions of people’s hearts wishing…

Glitch Makes GTA V Look Like An N64 Game

A reader sent this over today, and at first I thought it was a mod. Nope, turns out it’s a glitch in GTA V, one which sucks pretty much all the textures and detail out of Los Santos, leaving one of the best-looking games on the planet looking more like something you’d find on an…

The Mad Max Movies Are Coming To Steam

Steam sells games, Steam sells software, Steam sells short films, Steam sells documentaries. And going by a SteamDB listing, Valve’s service is also about to start screening at least four big movies. The listing (viaxPaw @ NeoGAF) suggests that all the Mad Max movies are coming to Steam, from the 1979 original to 2015’s Fury…
