Death Is Coming To Eat Your Heart

You know what, we’ve coveredthe work of French artist Michel Donzé twicehere on Fine Art, but both times it’s been as part of a larger piece. It’s about time the guy got his own showcase. An artist who has done a ton of work for Ubisoft over the years (on stuff like Watch Dogs and…

This is World War Toons. If you like your Second World War authentic, serious and grim, this shooter (built for VR, and letting you control both infantry and tanks) might not be for you.

A Superhero Romance Blossoms

Has this actually been in a comic? I don’t know, superhero canon is impossible to keep track of. But if not, well, here’s Superman and Green Arrow kissing like they mean it. Or at least like Superman means it. Black Canary is AlyCat Cosplay, Green Arrow is Epyon Merquise (Canary’s fiancée IRL) and Wonder Woman…

GTA V Sure Has A Lot Of PC Settings (Which Is Nice)

It took its sweet time, but Grand Theft Auto V is now out on PC. And, in terms of PC ports of console games, it appears to have been worth the wait. I’ve been playing it for a while now and yes, it looks great, and yes, it’s still the same great game, but what’s…

Guy Injures Himself Playing…Candy Crush

Look, it’s one thing to hurt yourself playing Rock Band. But when you end up in medical journals for an injury sustained playing Candy Crush Saga, maybe it’s time to take a step back and assess your video gaming habits. An unnamed 29 year-old California man has become the focus of a report from doctors…

Cities: Skylines Interchange Goes Beyond Mere Road Porn

We’ve already covered Cities: Skylines user’s fixation with road porn, but this masterpiece goes beyond such tawdry titillations. This is a 6-way, fully-connected overpass interchange, made by Guanlong. It’s available for download in the Steam Workshop, and, I mean, just look at this thing. It’s the kind of design to make a mathematician (or civic…

That Halo PC Shooter Doesn’t Look Terrible

When you first heard the words “free to play” and “Halo 3 engine”, you might have dismissed that weird Russia-only Halo shooter for the PC. You might also have been a little too hasty. Despite attempts by Microsoft to shut down outsider access to the game’s beta, folks in the English-speaking world have been playing…

Wildfire Is 2D Stealth, Only With Loads Of Fireballs

Wildfire is a 2D stealth game from a small four-man team, and it’s already shaping up to be one of the more interesting takes on sneaking around that I’ve seen in a while. There’s something about 2D stealth that makes me enjoy it more than its 3D cousins. The way the perspective plays out makes…

The Making Of A Creepy Skullkid From Zelda

Li Kovacs’ Skullkid here is great. As great as this video featuring it, which towards the end also includes some footage showcasing how it was made.

Future Korea Has Sure Let Itself Go

Skilled Dishonored Player Is A Relentless Murder Machine

There are few things in video games as hypnotic as watching a very good Dishonored player go about their business. In this clip, StealthGamerBR laughs at the notion of completing this mission the quiet/peaceful way, flying through the level like some white-hot invisible knife tornado. It’s a sight to behold.

Doom vs Akira Would Be A Manga For The Ages

It was funny seeing a Simpsons x Akira crossover, but those two series didn’t really fit. Doom, on the other hand, in this very cool image by jnkboy, slots alongside the classic manga just nicely.

Real-Life Batsuit Finished, Can Take A Beating

Industrial design student Jackson Gordon, who we saw in February putting his actual armoured batsuit through testing, hasnow finished. And it doesn’t just look the part, the thing actually works. While it’s not bullet-proof, the suit does show off its ability in this video to save you from loads of stuff less instantly hazardous, like…

Great, It’s Not Like This Zelda Monster Wasn’t Scary Enough

Tim Löchner is an artist from Germany who has worked for companies like Daedalic, Karakterand SIXMOREVODKA. This Zelda piece has me rethinking any desire I have to see the series brought to life. I mean, horses and green fields are one thing, but live-action Dead Hands would probably be a bit much for me. You…

Age Of Empires II, A Game From 1999, Is Getting Another Expansion

It’s for the HD version of the game released on Steam a few years back, and will actually be the second expansion for the refreshed title; another, The Forgotten, originally…

In 2006, the World Series of Poker set a card game record by having 8773 players taking part, all in the one place. That record is under threat next month when Magic’s Grand Prix Las Vegas goes down. It’s being set up to accommodate 10,000 players. We won’t know if it actually gets that many…

Interstellar Cosplay Is More Awesome Than Gravity, Love

This amazing TARS cosplay took three months to build, and in addition to being movable, also “works”, in that there are two iPad screens displaying info and some speakers that play sound effects. It was both designed and built by Iain Heath. If you’re wondering how he actually got around, he put a camera in…
