Nintendo’s made some killer hardware over the years, but my favourite of the lot is probably the Game Boy Micro they released done up in a Famicom colour scheme. It’s just…ungh. So gorgeous. This is something similar for the 3DS. It’s sadly just an external case, though, one made by Datel, and while it’s got…
It’s a bit much, in a Pimp My Ride kind of way, but if you’ve got a back seat with room to spare – or kids in need of silencing – check out this guide to installing a 19-inch TV and games console in a car. Put together by Instructables user rochassassin, who was facing…
The official Fifth Element game was bad. So it’s nice to see that, 15 years after the movie’s release, we’re finally getting something that looks like it can recreate at least part of the experience. Collateral is a racing game currently up on Kickstarter (and Steam Greenlight) that has you driving a flying cab around…
Know what I hate most about sports games? The fact they’re so focused on recreating the broadcast experience of a sport, and not what it’s like to actually play one. I was one of the four people on Earth who used NFL2K’s first-person camera view, I loved Backbreaker for its more immediate viewpoint, and I…
Based in Osaka, Riccardo Minervino is an Italian CG artist who works for Capcom. Meaning, Yeah, these Breaking Bad shots aren’t screengrabs from the show, they’re 3D models. You can see similar shots of a similar amazing quality here Most of the images you’ll see below are terrific 3D images, then, but I’ve also included…
Ede Tarsoly today announced Meridian: New World, an old-school RTS game that, he says, is the product of a development team that includes…Ede Tarsoly. Seems he’s been working on the game for two years now. It’s pitched more at the StarCraft II crowd than the Company of Heroes crowd, as he calls it a “traditional…
This is Boo. Earlier in the month Boo went to her first ever PAX, in Melbourne, Australia. Boo spent the weekend as a cosplay clotheshorse for her parents. Over the course of the event she was everything from a tiny little Ezio to a tiny little Claptrap from Borderlands. As you can guess, photos with…
The Osamu Tezuka Manga Museum – located in Takarazuka, home to this goodness – has been running an exhibit lately that would have made my inner seven year-old’s brain explode. As part of its Macross: The Museum exhibit, there to celebrate the series’ 30th anniversary, there’s an amazing recreation of a VF-1 cockpit from the…
When you play an Ouya, you can try a demo of every single game available, without ever having to buy a thing. Which is exactly what most owners of the tiny Android console are doing. In an interview with The Verge, CEO Julie Uhrman has said that while “Monetization on Ouya is so far better…
The Oleg Story is a board game about being in prison. You’re not trying to get out of the place. Just get by. Maybe you’ll be someone’s special friend. Maybe you’ll be a bully. Maybe you’ll bully the bullies. Maybe you’ll team up and just…I don’t know, pump iron and get tattoos. Each player controls…
It wasn’t made by Sega, sadly, but whatever: around 2003-04, there was an arcade version of Daytona USA going around that added RPG elements to the famous racer. Put together by modders, it was called Daytona USA : GTX 2004, and featured a range of little changes and improvements to the original like upgraded visuals. The…
People hacking video game companies, that I get. But really, messing with a video game news outlet? That’s a bit much. Last Friday, moderators on the PC Gamer forums noticed some “suspicious activity”. Turns out a script had somehow been hidden in a forum post that had been designed to steal a user’s profile information…
It’s another bumper cosplay roundup this week, as some late Comic-Con uploads are joined by shots that are just awesome, regardless of the time of year. Not to take anything away from some of the more complex builds featured this week – that Charr is mighty impressive – but my favourite might be Leon Chiro’s…
See? What’s even funnier is that the guy’s actually in a pretty good doom band. Lost Woods on accordion…on a unicycle…in the woods [YouTube, via Geekologie]
There’s an epic battle going on in EVE Online right now, involving around 4000 people and enough space hardware to make screenshots look like bee swarms. It’s taking place in the 6VDT system, and the two sides are CFC/Goon and the TEST Alliance. UPDATE –Looks like TEST Alliance are bugging out. You can watch it…
Reader Rick has been hard at work recreating the intro to classic RPG Chrono Trigger in high definition. He’s now done, and it looks like it was all worth it. He recommends you make sure you’re watching in 1080p. I concur.
Not that the trilogy is lacking in lighter moments starring hobbits, whether intentional or not, but lop off their noses and suddenly things get lighter You’ll find more noseless gifs at the link below. They are the best way to spend a tea break. [Noseless Gifs]
Combine a difficult surgery simulator with a virtual reality headset and a fancy control system and you get…the physical effects of being super drunk, sans the bravado (and the hangover). Yes, this is nothing more than Surgery Simulator 2013 paired with the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset and Razer Hydra motion-control system. Three things that…
Activision Blizzard used to be owned by media giant Vivendi. Not anymore. It’s now a free company, having bought Vivendi’s stake out. You could say it’s gone indie, but that joke’s going to wear pretty thin over the next 24 hours. Fun fact: Activision boss Bobby Kotick and co-chair Brian Kelly paid $100 million of…
Darren Bacon is a senior concept artist at Bungie, where he was part of the team that designed the world of its upcoming shooter Destiny.
