Critic Anita Sarkeesian just made an appearance on The Colbert Report, in an interview which followed a section of the show devoted entirely to gamergate You can check out the interview in the clip below. The first clip is the set-up; the second is the interview. The full episode will be up on Colbert’s site…
Yuriy Mazurkin is a concept artist who works at Yager, the German development studio behind Spec Ops: The Line and Dead Island 2. His art has a very classical style to it, which I’m loving having spent the last few weeks posting a lot of art that was splashy You can see more of Yuriy’s…
NBA2K15’s new face tech sounded so good in theory. So of course it was a nightmare in action Rather than hide in shame from the screw-up, though, 2K are having a laugh and getting into the Halloween spirit by turning the busted faces into Halloween masks. You can print them out here. While some look…
This isn’t LEGO. Nor is it an official League of Legends product. But Chinese toy companies Decool and Bozhi care not for international copyright laws. Normally known for their low-price, high-quality knockoffs of actual LEGO products, these offerings from the two companies areactually made up of original designs. Or, well, original in terms of LEGO…
I checked my RSS this morning, and saw – because I am still subscribed to the blog’s feed – this news piece from Team Fortress 2. It’s about the game’s big Halloween festivities. And I thought, wow, I can’t believe I’m still opening blog posts about Team Fortress 2. This is a game that was…
Here’s a 15-minute trailer for Yakuza Zero, the latest entry in a fantasticseries that Sega, in its infinite wisdom, has not announced for a Western release. Watch it, then sigh deeply, as though the very earth itself was despairing through your mortal lungs.
Georg Hilmarsson is a senior concept artist at CCP, the developers of EVE Online. So the art you’re about to see features, spoilers, a lot of spaceships from EVE Online. You can see more of Georg’s art at his ArtStation site andFacebook page To see the larger pics in all their glory (or, if they’re…
If you have any video game coffee table books, they’re probably about concept art, or maybe even cosplay. But Every Day is Play is a little different. It’s just about games, and nice art, and how that art (and our enjoyment of it) is just a really cool way to celebrate video games. Originally a…
To help sell the fancy Metal Slime edition of the PS4, Sony has released this Japanese commercial. And it’s fantastic. Dragon Quest fans will love the little touches in this. If there was an option to buy a ridiculously heavy, hand-crafted steel PS4, I would seriously consider it. Just not sure how I’d get it…
Oh hey, that’s my ship. That’s my ship, right down to the colour scheme! It’s a great take on Destiny as it is, courtesy of Jayfourke, but there’s something about it being a take on the same ship I see hovering on loading screens every day that makes me love it that little bit more.…

Maybe because it’s never got a modern remake, maybe it’s because you wore a silly red helmet, but EA’s Crusader: No Remorse has never got the love and respect it deserves from a 21st century world. Maybe that’ll change now that everybody can play the game for free. First released in 1995, it’s an isometric…
Jeez, it only took decades, but two of the finest space combat games – not to mention best Star Wars games – of all time are about to get a re-release. Special downloadable versions of both X-Wing and Tie Fighter will soon be released on Good Old Games. They’ll be $10 each. For that price…
Eric Ng, aka BigWhiteBazooka, is one of the best cosplay photographers on Earth. So his new book, full of his best work over the years, is definitely worth checking out. I got a copy the other day, and was surprised by how quality the book itself is. If you’ve seen Eric’s work you’ll know that…

You like Earthbound? The cool people at Fangamer are running a Kickstarter for a bunch of stuff including an Earthbound handbook, an album and a documentary. Back it here
Blake McDermott is a freelance concept artist from the USA. I’m digging his style. It’s got the frantic lines of, say, Ashley Wood, but also the kind of obsessive detail you see in Tsutomo Nihei’s earlier work. You can see more of Blake’s stuffat his personal site To see the larger pics in all their…
It’s not a smug Gandhi, or a Great Library, but this new project on LEGO’s Ideas platform is nevertheless an official piece of Civilization LEGO. It just needs some votes to help turn it into a real thing you can buy. Unlike most other submissions to Ideas, which come from fans, this actually comes from…
The original Valkyria Chronicles, a gorgeousstrategy/RPG for the PS3, is getting a late (but very welcome) port to the PC. Sega just confirmed it via Twitter, with more info to come. If you never played it, know that for all its flaws (it got tough), this was a strategy game with a ton of personality…
While there have always been jokes about Minecraft LEGO – the toys have done much of what the game does for decades without its help, thanks – this new set takes things to a whole new level of “wha huh?”. It’s called a Minecraft Crafting Box. It’s a box full of LEGO pieces. The box…
