King’s Quest is one of the most storied franchises in adventure game history. It’s also a series that, terrible fan-made reboot aside, hasn’t been seen since 1998’s Mask of Eternity. Telltale, of Walking Dead fame, had bought the rights to franchise a few years back, but have this week decided it’s actually not for them,…
Adeeb Md Mynul Islam is an animator at Ubisoft. But when the sun goes down, and the virtual art ceases, a different kind of video game art comes out to play. You see, Adeeb is also a sculptor, and an amazing one at that. The pieces you’ll find below are all his work, all done…
The Border House has posted scans of the results of last year’s Game Developer Magazine survey, which is about as thorough examination of the demographics of the video game business as you can get. It’s interesting on many levels, firstly for seeing how much developers get paid, but then for seeing how many women there…
Graf artist Diego Bergia’s awesome series of game-infused videos continue. We showed you one last year, but this new one, paying tribute to some Lower East Side legends, might be even better. SNK, if you ever want to make a graffiti-based Metal Slug, Bergia’s your man. LOWER EAST SIDE: CES X REVOK [Diego Bergia]

Valve have been talking a lot lately about virtual reality, and in particular, how Team Fortress 2 runs on it. Here’s what it actually looks like, in what I think is the best Oculus Rift video yet. Showing the player’s viewpoint alongside the camera tracking, with breakdowns for each eye, it really gives you can…
In the wake of Lucasarts’ closure today, Raven – the developers of the thoroughly excellent Jedi Outcast – have decided to release the source code for the game. Oh, and the code for its sequel, Jedi Academy, as well. The move should please modders, who have been hounding the studio – and who in turn…
For the 150 former employees now out of a job, the decision by Disney to close Lucasarts is a sad and terrible one. I wish them all the best in their efforts to find a new employer. But for everybody else, there’s quite possibly a silver lining to this dark and stormy cloud. Disney aren’t…
600 hours. Over 200,000 bricks. That’s what it cost Mike Doyle to build this enormous LEGO city, called Odan. It was totally worth it. A lot of thought has gone into both the design and construction of Odan, which you should read about in this lengthy interview over on Brothers Brick Mike Doyle builds massive…
Artist Kyle Hilton did a series of amazing Game of Thrones illustrations for Vulture, turning the fantasy epic into more light-hearted TV fare (via Laughing Squid).
Fede Alvarez, the 35 year-old Uruguayan (and director of Panic Attack) who has been given the keys to the Evil Dead remake, has bigger ambitions than just reworking somebody else’s old movie. Speaking with Yahoo!, Alvarez says his dream project would be to make a Half-Life movie. “I really want to make a ‘Half-Life’ movie…
What the upcoming BioShock Infinite: The Siege of Columbia lacks in surround sound and frantic action, it makes up for with things the video game version is lacking in: a tangible world and, more importantly, little plastic men (and women). Instead of playing as Booker, the game is more strategic in nature, giving you command…
If you were impressed that one person managed to make last year’s Dust: An Elysian Tail, get ready to be impressed all over again by Ghost of a Tale. Admittedly it’s a smaller project in scope than Dust, but it’s the visuals here that get your attention. Rough as they may be in this very…

As part of a story on the ways sexual predators from the United States are using technology like online game consoles to “lure” Canadian kids, CBC’s Gosia Sawicka decided to do a little first-hand reporting and signed up to Sony’s PlayStation Home service. Posing as a 13 year-old girl. What she found was as sad…
In this video, reader awdofgum throws caution to the wind and takes a running jump off the edge of Columbia, BioShock Infinite’s floating city. It’s a long way down, but it’s one hell of a trip.
The new Jabba’s Palace LEGO set is one of the best in recent years from the Danish company, condensing nearly all of the main elements of an enormous location into a neat, compact playset. You’d think that would grant it universal acclaim, but no. Somebody, somewhere had to take political issue with it. That someone…
Portland, Maine is a real place. Over 60,000 people live there. Real, full-size humans. You wouldn’t know it by this video, though, which uses tilt-shift photography to create the illusion that it’s actually a tiny town for tiny toys, serviced by a tiny model railway and whose streets are lined with tiny plastic trees. Mini…
Perhaps hoping to follow in the footsteps of the now-finished (and completely excellent) webcomic Concerned, The Adventures Of Hercule Cubbage is a new work of Half-Life 2 fan-fiction that tells the story of a different hero of the human resistance. That different hero is the son of Odessa Cubbage, the man with Half-Life 2’s most…
