PC specialists Paradox unveiled three new games at GDC yesterday. One is The Showdown Effect, which if you can make it past the intro in the trailer above unfurls into something that looks like Worms and Quake III had a tiny, split-screen baby. The basic premise is recreating action movie insanity. Up to eight players…
As ridiculous as that headline sounds, think about it for a second. Yeah, there you go. According to a report on VG247 developers 2K Czech, who released one of the prettiest but also one of the most boring open-world games of all time with Mafia II, are helping Rockstar on Grand Theft Auto V Remember,…
Competitive 1943? It doesn’t really exist, but for the purposes of tonight’s episode of Retro Rumble, it does, OK? Watch to see Capcom’s classic shooter put three men through their paces for, well, not money, not trophies, just fame. Internet fame. Which isn’t even real fame, but they’re only playing the game for like a…

Yup. According to reports, at a recent round of the Pokémon Video Game Championships held in the UK, a Spanish team covered itself in infamy (among other things) after it was ejected from a hotel for throwing human poop.

While people had been trying to put games on mobile phones for years, it wasn’t until Nokia’s humble little version of arcade classic Snake in 1997 that the idea was taken a little more seriously. It’s now 2012, and with thousands of games available on various phones, some looking as good (and almost playing as…
Reader Clay McCay sends us this image of a tattoo he recently had finished. And yes, that is a giant Worgen covering his entire back. Before you scream BUT WHAT WILL YOU DO WHEN NOBODY REMEMBERS WOW, consider this: even in twenty years, if nobody remembers what a Worgen looks like, Clay still has a…
We’ve looked at models, costume builders and photographers so far in our tour around the best in the world of cosplay, so today I thought we’d look at someone else. Someone like Harrison Krix. Who builds replica props and weapons. After all, cosplay without weapons and props can often be just a fancy dress party.…
There is trolling in the name of evil, in which you act like an asshole. But there can sometimes be trolling in the name of public good. Like this. Authentic military terminology is a part of the game, kid! War isn’t all murder and explosions. There are communications protocols to maintain as well.
Here’s a big, long, proper look at the second season of Game of Thrones, courtesy of a brand new trailer. How very exciting.
Aussie sound man Mick Gordon was at last year’s Game Developers Conference with a microphone, where he grabbed everyone who walked past him and asked them to say something into the mic. Anything The result became not a documentary, not a commercial, but a…song. A damn impressive one.

Late last year, we told you EA had begun work on a new Army of Two game, only this time it was called Army of Four. The name change was because it would support four-player co-op, and we also heard it would be running on DICE’s fancy new Frostbite 2.0 engine. Well, over the weekend,…
Since Sega officially announced its long-awaited Jet Set Radio re-release sans trailer, here’s your first look at the Dreamcast classic back in action. Good Lord. The colours. The graf. The music.

It’s beginning to seem entirely possible that PC gaming powerhouse Valve is working on its own “console” (or at least custom PC). Especially when you consider that it’s been working on control pad designs for nearly three years. A report published on The Verge last week mentioned not just the company’s machine but a patent…
Well, this is interesting. A Best Buy worker just emailed us two images snapped from their employee news section. One shows that Ubisoft will be unveiling Assassin’s Creed III on March 5, and that there’ll be pre-order bonuses to be had. Whatever. The other is a shot of what they say is the game’s promotional…
Reader Thayer likes to take legal tender and draw all over it. While that’s technically illegal, we’re going to hold off on reporting him to the authorities, because any man who turns Abe Lincoln into the Dovahkiin is OK in our books. The shots you see are just some of his more gamey works; you’ll…
Only a few hours after we gave you the first look at what’s likely to be Assassin’s Creed III’s new hero, website Game Informer appears to have accidentally displayed an image all but confirming its legitimacy. The image, which seems to have gone up a little too early, has since been pulled down (but which…
Andrejs Skuja works at Killzone developers Guerilla Games, where he’s currently a senior concept artist specialising in character design.
