Vendayn is a mod for Skyrim that transforms the idyllic Nordic landscape into something out of STALKER. The idea is that an apocalyptic event has taken place, destroying the landscape. There’s now a range of obsidian mountains jutting out of the ocean. The trees are changing. The water is heating up. And everything just looks…
This is a gameplay video of From Software and Sony’s upcoming Bloodborne. You know, the Dark/Demon’s Souls successor for the PS4. And it’s pretty interesting. Not just because it gives us our first good look at the game in action, but because the clip itself is from well before E3, before the project was called…
New characters, old characters, new stages, new moves. This is a huge gameplay demonstration of the latest Mortal Kombat game, presented by series creator Ed Boon. I don’t really like Mortal Kombat that much, but I love this demonstration in principal. So much of E3 is bullshit, but this? This is live, raw gameplay, exactly…
Darek Zabrocki is a freelance concept artist who is also one of the best damn Star Wars fan artists I have ever seen. You can see more of Darek’s work at his personal site and ArtStation page. To see the larger pics in all their glory (or, if they’re big enough, so you can save…
You probably missed it since you’re coming down from E3 madness, but a very special game was released on Steam today. It’s called Mean Streets. Well, these days thanks to branding (the game saw the debut of the character) it’s called Tex Murphy: Mean Streets, but back in 1989 when it was first released it…
I like to think there are two possible things running through his head. The first is “A new Mario game using this would be amazing“. The second being “I hope our legal team doesn’t sue into oblivion the first people to come up with a Starfox mod for EVE Valkyrie”. For reference that’s Bill Trinen…
Now that the Year and memes are over, it’s back to business for Luigi. Poor, sad Luigi. The Mario Bros. [Safely Endangered]
There’s a lot to like about Assassin’s Creed, but the series also has a host of long-running annoyances, chief among them the infuriating way you’ve had to “tail” people from the shadows. So thank the heads of various religious faiths and beliefs that the way you do this is changing for the upcoming Assassin’s Creed:…
Veteran actor Harrison Ford has been injured on the set of Star Wars: Episode VII, hurting his ankle and having to spend a little time in hospital. The culprit? His own ship. The injury isn’t serious, but it’s notable because Variety’s Marc Graser reports that he busted it on the door of the Millennium Falcon:…
Nintendo’s had a big week. If you need a palette cleanser from all that news, though, you could do worse than this Mario comic It’s the work of fans Danny8bit, JamesmanTheRegenold and Earth Gwee, and looks like something I could have picked up off a shelf in 1992 and kept forever in a plastic bag…
As we’ve seen, Adeeb Md makes better statues with his own two hands than many professional companies (with factories and everything) can come up with. Don’t believe me? Check out his latest piece, Final Fantasy’s Cloud. It was done on commission. If you’re thinking of saving up and asking for a Ben from Full Throttle,…
I’m calling it (and judging by comments/Twitter/Facebook most of you are too). It’s done, guys. It was a fun ride, but it shone too brightly and burned out too quickly. THAT SAID, it deserves a more fitting end than Luigi’s own year, which just kinda…fizzed out. It deserves a viking funeral I think this video,…
There are reasons for concern following Facebook’s purchase of Oculus Rift, but one massive benefit – at least for users – will be the way the social network giant is able to influence the headset’s price. As in, it’s going to be cheaper. Had Oculus tried to bring the VR headset to market themselves (though…
GameSpot has posted a video showing the differences between the PS3 and PS4 versions of The Last Of Us. Yeah, the PS4 version looks better. Duh. But damn, the PS3 version still looks amazing. Graphics Comparison: The Last Of Us Remastered PS3 Vs. PS4 [GameSpot]
Or, how not to smash a console stereotype. Deadline is reporting that Xbox Studios, the group responsible for bringing original programming to Microsoft’s consoles, is working on “scripted comedy East Of Exurbia”. It is based on…a story that was written on…Brobible. If you’re unfamiliar with the site, it is exactly what it sounds like. That…
The video game adaptation of Warmachine, due for the PC, is still coming (it’s out in August). Here’s the E3 trailer.
YouTube and video games will show you that the human body is at its most mobile when it’s sliding under stuff and vaulting over other stuff. Which is all well and good, but it’s not like we can all just jump out of our chairs and start running across walls. Some of us just have…
I know, we’ve already seen the demo in motion, but that didn’t afford us the luxury of gazing at HD stillness like these screens do. If Nintendo is on the level, and this is what the actual game can provide, then I am so far onto the hype train that I’m wearing one of those…
Want to know why some people got so excited about the Grim Fandango HD news yesterday? This little doco explains it all.
This is The Last Game. It’s a 5:28 animated short that is many things. It’s a commercial for Nike. More importantly, it’s a “World Cup” commercial for Nike when it’s not actually allowed to make official World Cup commercials (since that’s Adidas’ job). But I don’t care about any of those things. I just love…
