People dig up random little easter eggs and bugs in old games all the time. What they don’t often find are entire side-quests which have somehow remained hidden from view for over a decade. YouTube user GarlandTheGreat has uploaded a video showing a sidequest present in Final Fantasy IX that, until now, was pretty much…
Hey. It’s artist Dan Luvisi again. Three times in one year? It’s worth it, because Grand Theft Otto – mashing the Simpsons and Vice City – is what it is. Awesome. It also reminds me of a dream game of mine, back in the day, where Rockstar and EA sat down, put Vice City and…
If you’re against the use of photoshop in cosplay photos, I can understand where you’re coming from. But then, if there was no photoshop in cosplay photos, we wouldn’t get amazing pictures like the one up top. Other highlights this week include, yes, more Final Fantasy, but also some BioShock Infinite, Doctor Who and, for…
Teased a few months back, the first episode of What Remains, a series based on Naughty Dog’s upcoming The Last Of Us, is now out. It’s 18 minutes long While it looks like an official tie-in, it’s actually the work of Manifest Film, a team of gaming filmakers who, when this is done, are hoping…
Alex Chin Yu Chu is a Taiwanese-born concept artist living in the US who has worked for companies like Bungie, Firaxis, LEGO and Eidos.

Whether you’re in the US or the UK, chances are most of our readers are off on holiday today. So…enjoy. An extinct cockroach that looks just like a Jawa. Funny, yes, but the story is also slightly tragic; the species was only discovered very recently, living inside a volcano in Ecuador, but ever since it…
Achievements are changing on the new Xbox One. They might be changing even more than we realise, though, if a Microsoft patent application for TV achievements ever actually comes to fruition. Yes, according to a report on GI.biz, last November Microsoft applied for a patent aimed at giving you achievements for watching TV. “Television viewing…
TV host and industry pundit Geoff Keighley has said on tonight’s Bonus Round TV show that, according to his sources, Sony is looking at some form of digital rights management for the sale of used games. “…The one thing that is amazing to me is that right now we’re not hearing a lot from the…
Lacuna Passage is an upcoming Unity-based game by Random Seed, which puts you on the surface of Mars. Real Mars, not sci-fi Mars. You play as the astronaut Jessica Rainer, sent to Mars to investigate why the first mission to Mars disappeared. Described as as “open-world Mars exploration and survival game with a mystery to…
Dan the Ad Man, who normally works in…advertising, has found the spare time to put together this amazing Street Fighter video consisting of “motion sculptures”. Taking inspiration from this clip, it visualises the movement involved in Street Fighter moves, not the characters. Beautiful stuff. Street Fighter Motion Sculptures [Vimeo, via Gamefreaks]
According to “retail sources”, trade publication MCV is reporting that stores will be able to sell Xbox One games for whatever price they want. The catch? Both Microsoft and the game’s publisher will get a percentage of that sale. The way used games will be controlled and sold on the console has been one huge…
Who says you need to be a newly-revealed or upcoming AAA blockbuster game to get a fancy cinematic trailer. League of Legends is neither of those things. What it is is one of the world’s biggest video games, one that’s able to commission something this long (and expensive) just for the hell of it.
Bungie’s Destiny, the first game the studio have worked on since they walked away from the Halo franchise, is coming to all kinds of home consoles, but for some reason, it’s yet to be announced for the PC. Which, considering it’s part-shooter, part-MMO, is weird Don’t get too bummed out, though, PC gamers: for within…
The ever-wonderful Castle Vidcons nails it. If you bought into Molyneux’s hype and were expecting something better from his mobile “game”, you only have yourself to blame. Comic #106- Ye Gods! What’s Inside! [Castle Vidcons]
Reader Jules lives in Ireland. He’s cosplaying here as Old Republic’s enormous Darth Malgus, which might seem ambitious, but when you consider Jules stands 6′ 6″ himself – 6′ 8″ in the costume – you start to realise how perfect this is. He built the costume entirely himself; the other people you see in the…
…Otherwise this full-page ad in Britain’s Metro newspaper is going to look very silly indeed. While a 2013 release for the United States is a certainty, there have been fears that, like was the case with the PS3, Europe would get Sony’s latest console a few months late. Hopefully this means that isn’t the case.…
Nerd rapper Adam Warrock has worked around the clock to bring you “MOCAPPED DAWGZ (NEXT GEN ISH)”, a track partly about the Xbox One’s reveal, but mostly about sticking white balls on man’s best friend “MOCAPPED DAWGZ (NEXT GEN ISH)” [free tunes] [Adam Warrock]
I’ve got a lot of toys and statues on my “good bookshelf”, but I’m also a man with small kids, and who has normal people around to his house to visit. So no, I won’t be buying this giant, hideous Resident Evil bust. Even though deep down I kind of want to. Recreating RE3’s Nemesis…
There are very few artists working in video games who I’d label truly “top shelf” without a moment’s hesitation. There’s Craig Mullins. Sparth. Jaime Jones. Daniel Dociu. Oh, and today’s subject, Jesse van Dijk. Formerly of Guerilla Games, the studio behind the Killzone series, van Dijk is now working on Bungie’s Destiny, and is behind…
French artist Mike Wrobel has recast the stars of Game of Thrones as stars of sterotypical 90s fashion, with wonderful results. Joffrey’s Zapper might be a few years late, but everyone else is perfect, from Jon Snow’s flannel shirt to Jaime’s “Bad Boys villain” outfit. Game of Thrones 90s era [Mike Wrobel, via Brandon Boyer]
