Hyrule, Recreated In…Far Cry 4

Who said Skyrim gets all the cool mods? Using the game’s built-in map editor, Romain Dannevoye has built his own version of Ocarina of Time’s Hyrule inside Far Cry 4. It’s not a total conversion or anything—as you’ll see, there are still lightbulbs and Himalayan farmers and ammo boxes—but given the confines of the map…

Nissan’s Twitter Thought Video Game Screenshots Were Real Cars

For all its problems, the developers behind Driveclub on the PS4 can at least be proud of how good the game’s screenshots look.

Venus de Milo, Now With Arms

Yeah yeah, she’s a classic work of art, but since Venus de Milo was found buried in the dirt already missing her arms, we don’t know what they were up to! Would we be revering her if she’d been flipping the bird,or making, you know? Maybe not! This new action figure looks to put the…

N64 Controller Hacked To Work On Xbox One

Chris Gallizzi and Jesse Aragon from Hyperkin gave themselves a day to get an N64 controller working on the Xbox One. Mission accomplished.

Star Citizen’s FPS Mode Delayed

Star Citizen is a game that looks very cool and is promising a lot. Well, a little less now, after the playable debut of one of its key “modules”—a first-person shooter known as Star Marine—was delayed indefinitely.

Iron Man Looks Very Fancy In Leather

Prince Armory, the same team behind that awesome fantasy Darth Vader costume from earlier in the year, has gone a little crazy with this Iron Man outfit. Tony Stark is now Leather Man.
