And so, my great tabletop gaming adventure continues. Ex Illis is a tabletop miniatures game with a video game twist. While it has physical units and is played on a table, a lot of the meat and potatoes of the game – stuff that would normally require tokens, counters and books – is relegated to…
Donkey Me is a fan project by Bruno R. Marcos which takes Nintendo’s classic arcade game and gives it a ton of new, unofficial “themed” expansions, based on stuff like Star Wars, Conan, Rambo, Indiana Jones and Big Trouble In Little China. He’s hoping to have it out in the next few days. It will…
Riley is the exception. For too long, dogs – who are meant to be our best friends – have been portrayed as annoying video game villains, foes able to dodge bullets and who take a crummy QTE or two to see off. In Total War: Rome II, that’s not the case. For once, you can…
Nothing typified the regression the Assassin’s Creed series took between Revelations and III more than the game’s star. We went from Ezio, a lovable, charismatic rogue, to Connor, who was…nothing. He was nothingness in a white hood. Sucking much of the life out of the franchise with his solemn frown and humour deficiency, the series…
For a game so impossibly beautiful, it always seemed strange that Project Cars was headed not just for the PC, but dated hardware like the Xbox 360 and PS3. It’s less weird now, then, that those old machines will no longer be seeing the game. Instead, the game’s developers announced today that in addition to…
I don’t think this was made in the 21st century. I think time travel was involved. I think somebody found a way to go back to the 1980s and took a copy of Wind Waker with them. It’s the only explanation I can think of as to why this fake tips VHS is so perfect…
Zoe Brookes works for BioShock developers Irrational Games as a graphic designer, so if anyone on Earth was going to find the time to whip something this amazing up, it’d be her. Shame it’s not real (duh, the actual expansion will be counted in GB, not MB). Or that you can’t at least buy them.…
The Xbox One and PS4 are nearly upon us. People are excited. Some people are also, as people are prone to be, getting a little weird. “Fans” of both systems are eager to prove that one console is somehow “better” than the other, and will use any piece of information they get their hands on…
Morning everyone! Hope you weren’t out late getting hammered and stealing circus animals. Accused Child Predator Allegedly Used Nintendo’s SwapNote Service A Guy Had To Protest Outside A Blockbuster To Get A PS4 Refund Drunk Kids Steal Llama, Party With Llama Army Of 200 BC
Five French teenagers have been arrested after getting drunk, kidnapping a llama and, according to The Independent, “taking on him on a tour of Bordeaux via the city’s tram system”. Very early last Thursday morning, the group were wandering around smashed when they came across a circus, closed down for the night. After first trying…
There are only a handful of people who have ever made something as Star Warsy as the original trilogy felt. A handful of Lucasarts games like Dark Forces, maaaybe some comics, and the books of author Timothy Zahn. Who, it turns out, now wants to make a video game. Not a Star Wars game, but…
Alexandre Chaudret is a cinematic artist and character designer who works for Spiders, the guys behind Mars: War Logs You can see more of his work at Alexandre’s personal site and CGHub page To see the larger pics in all their glory (or, if they’re big enough, so you can save them as wallpaper), click…
Not a question that may have ever kept you up at night, but it might now, when you consider how much more interesting the show would have been if it had been about cat problems, and not cat people problems. In this video by Animation Domination, we see what would have happened if Lion-O and…
I’m coming around to the look of the black Xbox One, but like the original Xbox, I think the console looks betterin white. Sadly, the only white consoles in existence have been destined for the homesof Microsoft employees. All except for one. It’s being auctioned on eBay, with proceeds going to the children’s charity GamesAid.…
Adam Sibley had preordered a PlayStation 4 from his local Blockbuster. He later decided to cancel that preorder. It turned out to be an even worse idea than preordering from Blockbuster in the first place. Sibley’s local store, in Dunstable in the UK, had initially refused his request for a cash refund on the money…
I wrote a headline in May that read “Destiny Might Actually Come To PC“. So today is a total downer. While there was initial hope that the 360/PS3/PS4/XB1 shooter would make the jump to the personal computer, a lot of that has been extinguished last week following comments from Bungie community manager Eric Osborne (as…
Rise and shine, sleepyhead! You missed some interesting stuff overnight. Star Wars Bloopers Turned Into Hilarious Star Wars Trailer This Was The Generation Of Increasingly Silly Game Names Science Is Turning Disabled Kids Into Awesome Cyborgs So What If I Think Pirate Ships Are Beautiful. Shut Up.
One of the best PC games ever made is Sid Meier’s Colonization. A big part of that is the way it simulates the great unknown: as you venture westwards, unless you’re playing on the boring “real” map, you’re truly venturing into the great unknown. Few games have managed to copy that success, most recently Paradox’s…
Not, like, beautiful beautiful. This is a pants on kind of beautiful we’re talking about here. But there’s something about the way these Ubisoft artists paint them alongside tropical hillsides (or under tropical seas) that’s just the best The art we’re featuring today comes from two sources, both of whom we’ve featured here previously. One…
You might think 3D printers are only good for making your own bootleg action figures, but there’s a far more practical use for them: building robotic limbs for kids who would otherwise have a pretty tough time of it. That’s what a group called Robohand does. They use 3D printers to build the parts necessary…
