There are some Star Wars actors who would like to think that part of their lives is now over. And then there are others, like Carrie Fisher and Warwick Davis, who are more than happy to re-enact a classic scene from Return of the Jedi thirty years after the movie was first released. This clip,…
People used to laugh when Sony said the PS3 was going to be around for a decade (even though it was a totally fair thing to say!), so I can only imagine those same folks’ reaction to word that the next Xbox isn’t just designed to be around for a decade, but stay powered on…
This is Moonlight, a game from Firebase Industries that’s so new it doesn’t even have a platform yet. What it does have is that sweet, sweet Zaxxon-meets-Macross vibe. [Firebase]
Pacific Rim, Hollywood’s lavish love letter to all things Tokusatsu, comes full circle in this tribute trailer that reimagines the Western movie as something a little more Japanese. Pacific Rim (Fan-Made Trailer) in TOHO Godzilla style [YouTube, via Topless Robot]
These pixellated controllers from Hyperkin aren’t Minecraft models, they’re real controllers. Looking good, though I have my doubts about long-term comfort….[Hyperkin]
Just to be clear, I mean that in a “wow” way, not a “you’re LYING” kind of way. We told you about Meridian: New World earlier in the week, an old-school RTS that was being developed by a single man, Ede Tarsoly. It looked pretty cool, but one complaint was that there wasn’t a trailer.…
Australian artist Sam Jinks used to be in animation, but a few years back shifted gears and started sculpture. He now makes things that you will look at, look more closely at, then swear they were alive. Even though they’re not. Most of his pieces are made from silicon, and to complete the realism the…
Since we last saw the supremely-talented Dave Rapoza, he was doing some of the best fan art in the business. Now he’s doing some of the best business art in the business. Like half the planet these days, he’s done some art for iOS card game Legend of the Cryptids, as well as work for…
ESPN’s extra channels are usually home to some weird stuff. I’ve seen everything from baby cow rodeos to re-runs of old 80s strongman competitions. So I guess it shouldn’t be too big a surprise to see that, over a decade ago, ESPN2 was broadcasting…Magic Card tournaments. This footage is the final of the 2000 Magic…
It’s been forever since a Halo game was released on the PC. Halo 3, Halo Wars, Halo Reach and Halo 4 have all come and gone, without a PC version in sight. So it’s clear that if fans of the series want a game on their personal computers, they’re going to have to make it…
This is not your average action figure. Sideshow’s upcoming Jim Raynor piece stands 15 inches tall, and is made from 525 individual pieces. Which means it’s going to be expensive. And totally worth it. He’s posable, his visor slides down, the armour lights up in both the chest and vents, and he comes with a…
It used to be that when you pulled off an awesome move in a video game, you had to tell people about it, like the story-tellers of old. Then came the internet, then gifs, and now we can all enjoy those moments you feel like a boss. Like this Dark Souls parry-then-finish, which is made…
Well, that was fast. BioShock Infinite’s new DLC was only announced yesterday, but already superstar cosplayer Anna Ormeli has cooked up a neat outfit based on Elizabeth’s appearance in the new content. Either she doesn’t sleep, or when she does, she sleeps with one hand (and foot) on a sewing machine. Anna Ormeli [Facebook]
Zynga, the social gaming company that owns the trademark to the title “Words With Friends”, is suing Bang With Friends Inc., a company founded to help Facebook users find “casual sex”. According to a report on Bloomberg, Zynga’s complaint is basically that the app’s maker “selected the name ‘Bang With Friends’ for its casual sex…
Thanks to Attract Mode for pointing out Are We There Yet?, a site that’s dedicated to collecting and showing off one of gaming’s most important – and often cutest – aids, the world map. It’s concerned mostly with older stuff, from the 80s and 90s, and covers everything from fighting games to old arcade titles…
About the only bad news here is that this is a garage kit, meaning it’s a custom piece built by a fan. So you won’t be able to buy it. But hey, you can look at it on the internet, which like most things in life is the next best thing. It’s of Persona 4’s…
We’re looking today at the work of OXAN, a visual development studio that does work for games, movies and magazines. Some of the stuff below is from Applibot’s Legend of the Cryptids, an iOS card game that is killingit when it comes to art. You can see more of their work at the studio’s CGHub…
The Battle For 6VDT-H may be in need of a snazzier title, but just about everything else about the engagement – the largest space battle in internet history (and by lame default world history) – is fascinating stuff. Now that the dust has settled from the tussle, the developers of the game, CCP, have provided…
Lioness is an indie adventure game that, I guess because its trailer makes it look pretty great, has easily blown past its Kickstarter goal. Instead of going bananas and promising MORE LEVELS and MORE PLATFORMS, though, the three guys behind it are keeping it cool. And the game should benefit as a result. “We disagree…
This isn’t a machinima video from 2008. It’s actually a trailer for Watch Dogs that Ubisoft released today. In 2013. The game’s looked great on PC and next-gen hardware, but this clip – showing what’s surely current-gen footage – suggests that more than a few concessions have had to be made to squeeze the game…
