The first fruits of the threeA x Valve toy partnership we recently told you about have already been revealed. And in true collaborative style it’s a proper crossover. This creature is part-Companion Cube from Portal, part-Square². If you don’t know what a Square² is, it’s a little guy from Ashley Wood’s World War Robot universe.…
Building off a very fancy short released a year ago, there’s now a very professional web series based on Ubisoft’s stealth series Splinter Cell. It’s called Splinter Cell: Extinction, and is made by Companion Pictures. It has nothing to do with Ubisoft whatsoever, as they’re very keen to point out, but given how slick the…
SPOILERS AHEAD. Since Mass Effect 3’s ending doesn’t really do the greatest job of telling you what happens next, fans are filling in the gaps. Some are doing the wrong thing and being totally serious about it. Others are giving the game an Animal House-style, 80’s comedy epilogue. Which, now that it’s here, I’m just…
For all the Earth’s problems, many of which are ugly things, all it takes is a trip into space to remind us that this giant ball of dirt can still be a remarkable, beautiful place. This stunning footage was taken from the International Space Station. If it helps you to put on some Vangelis or…
The fine folks at animation house Blur make some of the best video game trailers and cinematics in the business. So it’s a treat, as always, to be able to feature their work here on Fine Art This morning, we’re looking at Jason Martin, formerly of Blur but now working at Doom creators id Software…
There’s a prequel to the latest Battlestar Galactica series on the way, dealing with the adventures of a certain Bill Adama during the first Cylon War. Here’s the series’ first trailer, which it appears somebody snuck out of last weekend’s Wondercon. It looks exciting, and surprisingly expensive. Then again, it’s a trailer. It’s supposed to…
This is Videros, a cosplayer from Germany. You needed that intro because, for all intents, he may as well actually be Deus Ex star Adam Jensen, complete with future pants, fancy jacket and snappy sunglasses. About the only thing he’s missing is a shot of him eating cereal, but it looks like it was taken…
There’s a beautiful crackpot in Seattle who is selling a Star Wars Tie Fighter on Craigslist. Not a little toy, or a model that sits on your desk. He’s selling 8 foot x 8 foot replica. Which you can sit in No idea what it was built for, but it’s on wheels, will hold a…
In January, publisher Namco Bandai said that a petition to have cult hit Dark Souls ported to the PC had its “attention”. Now, an Australian PC magazine is teasing something a little more substantial. The newest PC Powerplay mag has hit newsstands, and its back page, teasing next month’s issue (pictured above), isn’t very subtle.…
Nazi zombies are the stars of both movies and video games. With good reason. You combine a Nazi and a zombie and you’ve got twice the bad guy. The premise is now set in (poly)stone with this statue from Sideshow, which shows an undead member of the 1000-year Reich in full lurch. As with most…
This clip, called The Duel, is based loosely on a 2006 animated short called…The Duel. Only this time it’s in LEGO and shot in stop-motion, which makes it three minutes of your time well spent. The animation was done by Namchild, who says that no CGI was used whatsoever, and that only PhotoShop was employed…
DeviantArt user batman-n-bananas made a very fetching steampunk Portal gun. But what to wear with such a contraption? Why, mechano-Victorian long fall boots, of course, in which fancy modern tech is swapped out for reliable British steel. These are wonderful. And while they fit the “Steampunk Portal” brief perfectly, I like to think they’d be…
If you played PC adventure games in the 1990s, you may have come across detective Tex Murphy, star of the absolutely badass Mean Streets and four more games that weren’t anywhere near as cool. Murphy was one of the first FMV “stars” in video games, which was a lucky break for the character’s creator Chris…
Part of the appeal of Rockstar’s LA Noire was the fact it was set in a time period that video games normally avoid like the plague. The hats, the music, the black & white, it should be poison to a generation of gamers accustomed to wars, aliens, sports and fast cars. But as LA Noire’s…
People been complaining about the end of Mass Effect 3. Saying there isn’t enough of this kind of business If that’s you, here. Russian artist Hellstern has an alternative finale. And it doesn’t get much happier than plush Krogans, Gilbert & Sullivan karaoke and Garrus eating a watermelon. Mass Effect 3 how it should’ve ended…
Ubisoft’s I Am Alive will be coming to the PlayStation 3 next month. It’ll be available on the PlayStation Network on April 4. You can check out our review of the 360 version here
Here’s the first official trailer for the first proper sequel to Angry Birds, called Angry Birds: Space. They don’t look that angry, do they? More like they’re just…mildly upset. A little cranky. Guess that’s what billions of dollars does to an animal. It cheers them up. The game’s out on March 22.
Cosplay specialist Chris “ammnra” Myles, who knows a thing or two about amazing Mass Effect costumes and props, has commemorated the release of Mass Effect 3 with another piece of incredible craftsmanship. This Omni Tool is made from laser-cut acrylic, which was then heated and manually shaped until it resembled something you could slide onto…
How cute. It’s not at all scary, of course, but then, the 3DS game its promoting – Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir – doesn’t look terribly terrifying either Still, it’s a neat idea for Nintendo of America, even if it is nowhere near as cool as the company’s Japanese equivalent for the same game, which…
The new iPad is faster than its predecessor, sure, but the main selling point is its glorious retina display. Problem is, nearly every game on the App Store was designed for the previous models, meaning they’re not exactly making the most of that 2048 x 1536 resolution. Some developers, though, were either ready for the…
