Wars and Battles is an upcoming iPad game that doesn’t cover a single war. It doesn’t even cover a single era of war. It’s covering all the wars It’s doing this the easiest and most obvious way possible: by making an engine based on the flexible rules of tabletop wargaming, then sticking it in a…
You’ll need to be a Hunter to pull this off, since the Bladedancer’s super is the only way to stay in the air this long, but here you go. People can jump the Hellmouth on the moon. If you haven’t played the game, that’s a big jump You can even do it without a Sparrow…

If you’re a developer selling a game on Steam, it’s probably not the best idea in the world to tweet a death threat to the guy who owns Steam. That’s what indie developer Mike Maulbeck did earlier today, though, and it’s now something he probably regrets. The day should have started off pretty well! Maulbeck’s…
Human Resources, a strategy game from the same team behind Planetary Annihilation, looked cool! There were giant robots and giant monsters. Despite this, and the studio’s previous success using the service, the game’s kickstarter has tanked. We normally don’t post about every Kickstarter that fails, but this one is a little more interesting. Uber Entertainment…
Despite the fact the game was first released in arcades in 1981, has been ported to hell and back and picked apart on the big screen, Nintendo’s original Donkey Kong is still giving up secrets, most recently in the form of “new” music and sound effects. A user on the Cutting Room wiki has, after…
Bossa Studios, they of Surgeon Simulator fame, are working on another game with what looks like a hilarious/frustrating control scheme. Only this time, instead of controlling a surgeon’s wonky hands, you’re controlling a slice of bread. Yup. Sounds potentially…boring, like one of those stupid joke “simulator” games where the joke wears off after a few…

If the pics aren’t enough,photographer Anne-Fleur Boortman also switched to video mode while shooting, and made this neat little “trailer” as well.
If you’re Australian, you’ll know what a “bogan” is. If not, know they’re a derided – but also strangely lovable – rung on the ladder that is Australian society. Think rednecks, only with universally high-pitched voices, and a condition that makes them end every sentence with the word “c**t”. The new Borderlands prequel, having been…

Before there were YouTube channels about kids who were Sega fans, and a generation of people who equated being “fans” with being loud, angry and combative, there was a humbler, more private form of fanboy expression: home video. If you were with us last year, you might remember Tyler, who throughout the 90s had the…

From Homeworld’s shipyards to Star Wars to, well, the real world, there’s something awe-inspiring about seeing giant vessels under construction. it gives you a real…
Because video game items are made using 3D models, turns out it’s not that hard to rip them out of a game and get them working with a 3D printer. And from there, bring something that previously only existed on the screen into the real world. Angus from Maker’s Muse has made this video showing…
