Reminder: Elite, Star Citizen and EVE Valkyrie aren’t the only promising space shooters in development. There’s an underdog pinging away on the fringes of the scene, and that underdog is Enemy Starfighter. It may not have the money or features that the bigger games do, but it does have style, and also a welcome focus…
British indie studio Puppy Games, who are going through a bit of a rough patch at the moment, have posted a long and heartfelt essay/rant on their site about the people who buy (or don’t buy) their video games. Don’t let its aggressive leads fool you. It’s a very good read. Mostly because it does…
The effect you’re seeing here, applied as a form of “electronic make-up”, is the result of CG and projection tech being screened and updated – in real-time – onto a model’s face. Sure, you can see parts where it can’t quite keep up with the model’s movements, but as a start, it’s some incredible stuff.…

God, it’s not just TWEWY cosplay, it’s near-perfect TWEWY cosplay. Awesome job, Cvy (and Itismoi).
Malaysian cosplayer Craft Access does Titanfall, and even gets the pilot’s facemask (and lighting!) right. The crowd goes wild. Photo by Black Rabbit To get an idea of the detail on this suit, look at this close-up of the unpainted helmet: And for an idea on how hard it must have been to actually walk…
We live in a crazy, perverted world. A world where, in many ways, a video game’s trailer is more important than the game itself, since it’s the former that can often be solely responsible for sales of the latter. Whatever you think of that trend, you’ve got to admit that the trailers themselves are often…

Ah, Star Command. It was a pretty good mobile game, but the mobile game we got isn’t what we were promised when the project was successfully backed on Kickstarter. That promised game is still coming, though, even if it’s almost two years late. Having promised to keep working on things following the mobile release, Star…
There’s been Minecraft LEGO for a whilenow, but it’s been on a tiny scale, with tiny little figures. These new sets are “normal” scale, meaning your Star Wars v Minecraft fan-fic role-playing just got a lot easier. The two sets, “The Cave” and “The Farm”, aren’t huge, but they are big enough to accommodate 3-4…
Your petitions, they will do nothing. As far as Sega is concerned, cult adventure series Shenmue is dead in the water. But as far as fans are concerned, well, that’s another story. Korean fan NoconKid has got to work remastering the original Shenmue in HD, and he is doing a damn fine job. Leather jackets,…

Hot Toys are releasing an Optimus Prime figure. I know you can’t see it, but my wallet is suddenly flapping around like a bat, and I’m having a devil of a time trying to catch it. The 30cm figure, based on Prime’s G1 design, is actually Starscream-inspired, and for whatever reason – I can’t remember…
Kory Martin Juul, an artist who worked on Lord of the Rings and Avatar, has for four years been toiling on his own animated feature film, White Tiger Legend. By himself. So it’s time for some help. The film, which runs for 100 minutes, already has a rough edit, but in order to get it…
Lester Louis Huffmire and his wife, Petra Huffmire, have been sentenced to five years and three years prison respectively for “obsessively” playing World of Warcraft while “keeping their two young daughters locked inside their filthy mobile home for years without adequate food or basic care”. KTLA reports that the couple, arrestedlast year, plead guilty to…
There are a great many relationship dynamics at play in the story of The Last Of Us. This is, ew, not one of them. Though granted, while on the subject, we’ve seen worse For the record, Joel is Luke Asher McLaughlin, and Ellie is indeed his girlfriend. Photos by Shaddy (and they were actually taken…
