It’s a custom build, of course, as this isn’t exactly something Nintendo falls over itself to license, but whatever. It’s still a beautiful thing to look at, and being a custom build, we can really admire the work that’s gone into it, especially the obstacles and artwork. [Kevin Kulek, via Geekologie]
Builder daikoncat is the genius behind this LEGO piece that, were it released commercially in the 1980s, would have been the only toy a boy would have ever needed. LEGO? Check. Giant robot? Check. Fighter jet? Check. The ability to transform between giant robot and fighter jet? Yes What’s impressing me most about this modular…
Sadly, they just missed the bus for Mass Effect week, but this cosplay extravaganza was too good to not share, regardless of what day it is. Propped Up Creations emailed us yesterday with these shots of a Mass Effect fight that, while spoken of in the game, was never actually shown. It’s the toughest fight…
In case it’s one of those weeks where you’re short on wallpaper – or, like me, live in a hemisphere on the brink of winter – here’s a couple of sun-soaked new pieces of art for Grand Theft Auto V.
The unveiling of Far Cry 3’s bizarre expansion, Blood Dragon, was one of the most low-key in memory. Ubisoft haven’t really bothered. Just put some art out, a few trailers, and bam, that’s it. That’s all it needed, though, because that art said more than 1000 developer diaries could have hoped to. And it’s the…
Chinese sculptor yanchuan1111 is looking for a job. He is going the right way about getting one. These works are the kind of stuff you expect from professional Hollywood effects teams or companies that make toys for a living, not…a guy who just likes to make stuff. His StarCraft pieces are probably the best, but…

It’s funny, last week, watching the swordfight that takes place in the episode, I was thinking of Star Wars, because the slow (yet heavy and deliberate) way the combatants were moving reminded me of the battles between Luke and Vader in Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Guess I wasn’t the only one.…
There is an Elder Scrolls universe mod for Crusader Kings II. Oh my. It’s in its early stages, but you can get it here
18 year-old Thomas Frongillo from Oxford, England, has been arrested and charged with “threatening to commit a crime and threatening a bombing or hijacking” after being accused of leaving hostile messages in an online game run by Jagex, the publishers of Runescape. While the game in question is not disclosed in a report on The…
What you’re seeing in the video above is the Sourcemod Entertainment System (SMES), a server plugin for Counter-Strike that lets you start up a video game and play another video game inside that video game. According to creator skwumpy, it works like this: you can pick up a cartridge in the game world, insert it…
There are a select few games (or series) that you see saturate the cosplay community. Final Fantasy is one. Zelda another. And Assassin’s Creed. You can now add BioShock Infinite to the list. Or at least cosplay for Elizabeth, as it seems people’s love for the character – combined with the fact her costume isn’t…
Here’s what happens when the 90-year-old grandmother of Imagimind’s Paul Rivot has an Oculus Rift headset strapped to her head. To be fair, that’s about how I’d react using the thing, and I’m up to my eyeballs in video games every day. Lord only knows how many receptors she had left unfried after this. My…
Claire Hummel worked as an artist on the recently-released BioShock Infinite, where she helped define the outfit of one of the game’s two biggest stars, Elizabeth. With a goal of having something that both looked like it came from 1912 and was also “age-appropriate”, the image above – and the first few below – show…
OK, so given the nature of this trick, you could use it for anything. Pictures of whales. Or Sealab. But the post in question used it for the first BioShock, and that’s about the best use I can think of. Reddit user supergalacticcaptain posted it over the weekend, with simple instructions: you stare at the…
UPDATE: As of December 2013, the DRM-free version is now public and available to all. Games simply not being completed isn’t the only hazard people face when pledging money to Kickstarter campaigns. Other problems can arise, like pledges being made during a pitch running into licensing agreements made with Microsoft. When Harebrained first asked for…
Benoit Perreault is a UI designer at Eidos Montreal. Before that, though, he worked at Ubisoft, where in his spare time – as in, this wasn’t an actual Ubisoft project – he cooked up this concept for an Assassin’s Creed fighting game. Envisaged as a downloadable arcade title, and uncovered by NeoGAF user Mama Robotnik,…
Let’s say you order things online. Video games, for instance. Given the fact you order them on a computer and then, days later, they magically appear at your door, it’s easy to begin to treat the process as, well, magic. Nope. Those boxes have to go through a lot of hands, and conveyor belts, to…
A flash game called Tax Evaders, designed with the help of Molleindustria’s Paolo Pedercini, is probably the most educational Space Invaders game you’ll play today. It’s also the most depressing, at least if you’re an American taxpayer. The point is to draw attention to the fact that while Average Joes and Janes across the United…
In case you couldn’t tell from the last time I featured this game on Fine Art, regardless of whether Hardware (or Hardware: Shipbreakers as it’s now known) turns out to be amazing or awful, I will be praying for an art book. Because the concept art for the game just takes my breath away. It’s…
