Sam Jackson has been in a number of games, normally reprising a role he’s played on-screen. He has never, to the best of my knowledge, been in a Heroes of Newerth movie. Or TV show, for that matter. Still, the little MOBA-that-could has enlisted his services regardless, resulting in the announcer pack you see above.…
Artist Frank Hong used to work for companies such as Ubisoft and EA. He’s since moved into the film business, helping out on stuff like Oblivion and Pacific Rim, as well as the upcoming RoboCop and Godzilla flicks. You can see more of his art at his personal site, blog and CGHub page._To see the…
CloudBuilt is the kind of game that’s hard to nail down. Which is why its creator has it listed on Steam under “Action”, “Racing”, “Shooter” and “Platformer”. The video above will give you a better idea. As someone who enjoyed Gravity Rush but thought it was a bit plodding, this looks great! CloudBuilt [Steam Greenlight,…
The Gameological Society had a simple idea: take the creatures, beasts and people from Scribblenauts and pit them against each other. See which thing, real or fictional, could kick the most ass. While there were some funny encounters between humans – notably the Democrats vs Republicans – us meat bags were pretty useless. As were…
SimplyGames, a retailer in the UK, has been in the news this week after it emerged it was trying to strongarm customers preordering a PS4 into spending more money. Here’s what’s happened: customers who originally preordered just a PS4 from SimplyGames were told last week that in order to remain in the “line” for their…
I don’t play Minecraft, my kids don’t play Minecraft and I’m not an asshole, so the practice of people trolling children in the game then making a spectacle of it isn’t something I was aware of. Now that I am, ungh. So, yeah, it’s a thing for people to jump into Minecraft games and ruin…
You know those awesome pictures of video game hardware that Wikipedia is full of? They don’t just appear out of nowhere. Someone has to own the hardware, and someone has to take the picture. One of the most important of those people is Evan Amos, a veteran Wikipedia contributor who has just launched a Kickstarter…
Redditor Lycerius made headlines last year when he showed off a Civilization II save game that had been bombing the same map into the dust for ten years. Status update: despite the attention, and the fact the game’s war wasn’t really going anywhere, he’s still at it. And so are a legion of “fans”. Ars…
The Dark Mod has long been one of the most famous PC mods around. Using Doom 3 as a base, the idea was to transform id’s shooter into an old-fashioned game inspired by the old-fashioned Thief games. It was great. Now it’s even better, because it doesn’t need Doom 3 anymore. Version 2.0 of TDM…
Wenjun Lin is a Chinese concept artist who, like every other artist on the planet, has most recently done some cards for Applibot’s mobile juggernaut, Legend of the Cryptids. You can see more of his work at his personal site, blog and CGHub page. To see the larger pics in all their glory (or, if…
Close your eyes and it’s terrifying
For most smaller developers, getting a game on Steam is an important milestone. Often the most important. So a lot of weird stuff has to happen for a guy to not even know people are buying his game. Yet that’s exactly what’s happened to Georgy Beloglazo, who in 2010 released a game called Phobos 1953.…
The League of Legends Season 3 world finals went down in Los Angeles over the weekend. It was a big deal. You may not have known that from simply following online, but if you’d been at the Staples Center, like all these people were, you would have got a taste. Sequenced: Season 3 World Finals…
You see this kind of crap all the time on sponsored links at the bottom of expensive websites. “How [thing] is actually like [other thing]!” But this one, by Giant Bomb user Gold_Skulltulla, this one’s different. This one’s genius. Sure, it starts obviously enough. Joffrey as the Wii, Eddard as (SPOILERS) Dreamcast, but once you…
Crytek, the developers of online shooter Warface, probably wish they’d never asked. Polling users across the world what they wanted to see in terms of female soldier design, the results are…well. See for yourself. What you’re looking at here is some optional downloadable content for Russian players of the game. In an interview with Wired,…
Let’s talk facts. Every single numbered Grand Theft Auto game has been available on the PC. But that hasn’t stopped people freaking out over the fact that the latest game in the series, Grand Theft Auto V, has yet to be announced for the platform. In some ways, you can understand their concern. The PC…
First airing in Japan in the 1990s, Pokémon is a very, well, Japanese cartoon. Let’s imagine for a second, though, that it had been released in the 1990s in the United States. Instead of King of the Hill. Or inside King of the Hill. Pretty sure I wouldn’t need another show on TV. Poké-King-of-the-Mon-Hill [YouTube]
The guys who made the terrifying Amnesia are making a new game, a game with robots in it. We know little about it, but it does not look like things will be going well Why? Because this is the kind of video you see as evidence, after the robot repairs itself and someone else finds…
Beautiful LEGO is a new book by Mike Doyle that, well, you can probably guess what it’s about. Doyle has interviewed some of the world’s best LEGO builders for the book, and its 260 pages are packed with all kinds of different works, from intricate buildings to pop culture homages to original designs. For the…
Last week, the guys at BLR (with help from some WETA artists) released one of the most incredible pieces of sci-fi animation this planet has ever seen. Keloid. Let’s bask in the afterglow, then, with some art from the guys who designed the killer robots. While some of the design was handled in-house, two WETA…
