New Zealand “boy band” (read: StarCraft tribute act) Viva La Dirt League have released this track called Indie Game Anthem (Thrift Shop). It’s an ode to both the affordability of indie games and the fact you can buy them en masse during Steam sales. It is amazing. I don’t know what we need to do…
Based in Germany, Markus Lovadina currently works as both a freelancer and in the advertising business, but has previously helped out companies like Ubisoft, Activision and Acclaim. Lovadina’s done everything from environments to character design, so there’s a nice mix of styles and types of work below. To see more of his stuff, you can…
Two Chinese companies are being taken to court by developers Wargaming.net, accused of stealing intellectual property to complete their game Project Tank. Wargaming – who are behind one of the biggest games in the world, World of Tanks – have made the accusation in claiming Project Tank is “disturbingly similar” to their own title, and…
It’s rare enough that a video game costs over a grand, but a video game manual? As crazy as it sounds, that’s exactly what the instructions for this old N64 game are worth. Clay Fighter Sculptor’s Cut is an old limited edition of the vintage fighting game that was exclusive to Blockbuster rental stores. Meaning…
While there are some attempts at preserving them for future generations, the fact is most of the sets used in the Tunisian desert for the Star Wars films – either the classic or prequel trilogy – have fallen into disrepair. Something that New York photographer Rä di Martino has captured beautifully in these photos taken…
What you’re seeing here is not a toy. It’s not a movie prop. It’s a custom-built Tumbler from the Chris Nolan Batman trilogy, one that not only moves, but moves fast enough it’s being entered inthe famous Gumball 3000 rally Commissioned by a team from Saudi Arabia, it cost $1.6 million to put together, has…
Too Human developers Silicon Knights are “down to just a few employees”, and have “sold off office equipment and game assets”, according to a report on Polygon
Those in need of a time-waster for the rest of the day need look no further than Merchandising Is Forever, a blog that does nothing but post pictures – and gifs – of the “minute variations in deterioration over time” on old Star Wars figures. I just…can’t stop staring. And remembering how, yeah, the paper…
Son of Nor is a game we took a look at last year, and while its mechanics – you can control the elements and move the ground itself – were promising, it was also, well, a bit ugly. Nearly a year later and hey, the Austrian developers behind the game have bounced back with a…
Remember that amazing Pokémon Noir comicby Ray Bruwelheide that we posted a bit of earlier this year? Well, awesome news: Ray just let us know he’s finished the first chapter. It still kills me this sort of thing has to be the reserve of passionate and talented fans. A smarter Nintendo could easily capitalising on…
At the Toronto Game Jam (TOJam) over the weekend, indie developers from all over the place got together and made some games. They’re still in the process of being pulled together and put online, but one that’s caught my eye is Knight & Damsel. I came for the pixel art, but stayed for the premise.…
Henning Ludvigsen is art director at Rock Pocket Games, so if you like the colourful, cartoony style of upcoming platformer Oliver & Spike, he’s one of the people to thank. You should also thank him if you’ve ever played anything from Fantasy Flight Games. For the tabletop and card game giants Ludvigsen has lent his…
There is no such thing as StarCraft LEGO. Blizzard’s deal with the awful Mega Bloks puts paid to that dream. Luis Castenada’s custom Terran Marine here only makes that realisation even more painful. Aside from a custom head and some paint, the entire thing is LEGO. How he worked out the detail on the legs…
We told you yesterday of an exploit users had found in Diablo III that let them “dupe” gold, a serious flaw in the game’s economy which forced Blizzard to shut down the game’s auction houses. But just how did this exploit work? Redditor TyroPyro has a good explanation: The gold “dupe” involved creating a RMAH…
This week, the worlds of role-playing, live-action role-playing, cosplay and military re-enactment will collide in France at the first ever Battle of the Nations, a “world championship” for medieval combat. Held in Aigues Mortes, 22 nations will be taking place, from the obvious (France, Britain, Germany) to contestants from places that aren’t even real nation…
Those hoping for a Just Cause game – or any game from developers Avalanche – on the Wii U had better not hold their breath, because while the studio is in possession of some development kits for Nintendo’s console, it’s certainly not using them. In an interview with Norwegian site pressfire, Avalanche’s Christofer Sundberg says…
Sony recently announced that it would be building some PlayStation 3 consoles in Brazil. Which would for most of us have been a fairly inconsequential piece of news, if not for the fact there’s some video of the factory floor, showing Sony workers putting the machines together. And it’s fascinating. While I’ve never seen how…
SimCity’s latest v3.0 update has added an exciting new feature to the game: a disappearing or erratic mouse cursor. It’s easily fixed, but also a ridiculous bug to come up so long after release. Please note that this news comesa day after EA declared the game had “recovered” from its disastrous launch. The cursor will…
Well, duh, of course there is. The key here isn’t that there is a Gran Turismo 6 coming, but when We might find out soon, because Sony is teasing some kind of “exciting” announcement on the “future” of the series for next Wednesday. Could it be Gran Turismo 6? With the PS4 out in the…
