As you might already know, there are some big protests and riots going down in Istanbul at the moment, with what’s emerging as the “Occupy Gezi” movement clashing with police over President Tayyip Erdogan’s aggressive development policies in the historic city. You can read a great primer piece on the riots at Gawker To those…
Last year’s hottest mod will this year become its own standalone game, and while we’re yet to get an official look at how DayZ is shaping up, this leaked footage gives us a few hints. I say only a few hints because this appears to be early code for the game, missing key features and…
The first time Tim Schafer’s Double Fine studio went on Kickstarter, it broke records. The second time? They’re still printing money. Well. Printing donations. Having asked for $725,000 to complete the company’s second Kickstarter game, strategy title Massive Chalice, they’ve passed the required total with over three weeks to spare. The game’s campaign page doesn’t…
Spike TV’s Geoff Keighley has either had his Twitter account hacked or he’s suddenly gone giraffe crazy. Hopefully it’s the latter, because giraffes are awesome.
These contraptions were given away by Burger King in Puerto Rico earlier in the year. Apparently as a joke. But that video is no joke. A device that holds a burger for you – or anything really, you could put chips or a casserole in there – while you’re gaming would be for many a…
In March, Square Enix registered some websites for something called Deus Ex: The Fall. It didn’t raise too many eyebrows at the time because, whatever, dummy and decoy websites get made all the time. But today, only a week out from E3, the official Twitter account of Eidos Montreal – the developers behind Deus Ex:…
Into the Pixel is an annual competition which seeks to award and highlight the best video game art in the business. This year’s winners have been announced, and each piece will be showcased during E3 next week. It’s a prestigious competition, one that not only puts the artist and their work on the mantelpiece just…
Bill Doran makes replica video game weapons so good that were they not recreations of things that didn’t actually exist, you’d swear they were the real thing. His latest work is this enormous Halo sniper rifle, which, yeah, looks so much like something Master Chief would actually use it’s hard to believe it’s actually just…
Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us has multiplayer. Not that it needs it, but hey, video games. While there’s no official footage of the mode in action, this clip appears to have been prematurely posted (it doesn’t appear to be viewable anymore) by Spanish site Hobby Consolas. Let’s not be too harsh; it’s leaked footage,…
For a racist stronghold full of nutjobs that you spend most of the game slowly blowing to pieces, BioShock Infinite’s Columbia is still a very pretty thing to look at. Just like this LEGO recreation of part of the city. If you look closely, you’ll see that creator Cool Whip has also built a little…
Gaming’s biggest show doesn’t kick off until next week, but expert teams of booth fairies and constructobots are already hard at work building E3’s cavernous displays. If only the real show was this spacious. Or quiet. You can see an interactive 3D panorama of the floor below; squint and you can already imagine what each…
There were two types of people watching Game of Thrones last night. Those who had read the books, and knew what was coming. And those who had not, and inevitably lost their shit Without getting into spoiler territory, let’s just say important things happened that, had you not been previously aware, might have come as…
An Indiegogo campaign for The Black Tower is now up and running. Don’t remember The Black Tower? It’s that French Final Fantasy tribute that looks terrific
If you watched tonight’s Game of Thrones, and had previously read the books so knew what was coming, take pleasure in scrolling throughthis Twitter feed collecting the reactions of those who did not know what was coming. Needless to say, serious spoilers ahead
Frontiers, that “Elder Scrolls at a leisurely pace” game we showed you last month, now has an IndieGoGo campaign. If you saw the clip and felt like giving someone money to get the game finished, now’s your chance
Kiwi band Delete Delete and effects house Effective…Effects teamed up on this clip for the group’s song What Do You Take Me For? It’s not so much a thinly-veiled tribute as a flat-out homage, and makes me wish this was actually a Vita game so bad. Delete Delete – What Do You Take Me For?…
Responding to a report last week that claimed Microsoft would be taking a cut from all pre-owned game sales on the Xbox One, Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick chimes in with the inevitable follow-up. It’s equally hard to imagine used game sales surviving attitudes like this. Even if they technically make it past this generation of…
Many companies have released many takes on the Predator franchise over the decades, but sadly, none has ever given us what we really wanted: little plastic renditions of the entire assault squad from the first movie. So thank you, djblizzard, for finally delivering the goods. The custom toy builder has made his own squad of…
Once was a time you could actually play games that involved planning an attack against terrorists/criminals, then swiftly executing it. SWAT, Rainbow Six, they were good times. Times that were seemingly long gone as games like Rainbow Six become more about shooting than planning, but nope, Door Kickers is bringing them back. And using just…
I don’t normally showcase too many furries here on Fancy Pants, but I’m making an exception today. Actually, two exceptions. One for some amazing Guild Wars cosplay (Charr), the other for what is easily the best Skyward Sword costumery you’ll ever see. Also, that Zant? Spell-binding. To see the larger pics in all their glory…
