You know, it’s funny, every time we’ve posted one of Eric Ruth’s amazing demake videos, people have complained “looks great, but why doesn’t he make something original?”. Well, shut up. He’s making something original. This is Corril Slayer, inspired by the likes of Mega Man and Castlevania, where the player flips between the real world…
Last Year, Japanese artist ag+ put together one of the most amazing pieces of fan art the world has ever seen Well, obviously drawing inspiration from that image, here’s a slightly smaller, more focused effort by L-DAWB, which instead of spanning the series’ entire history just looks at Skyward Sword I’m really liking the different…
I’d love to be able to tell you this debut trailer for MechWarrior Online gave us a first look at how it plays, but of course, it doesn’t. It gives us a first look at a man climbing into a giant walking tank. First revealed last year, the game’s already got a few people concerned…
Forget what the Driver series has become over the years. When the first game was released, back in 1999, it had a very clear vision: take a badass movie and make a badass video game out of it. But wait, was there a movie called Driver? No. There was one called The Driver, however, which…
It’s becoming increasingly likely that the next major instalment in the Assassin’s Creed series takes place during the American War of Independence. Which shouldn’t be a surprise. It’s been suspected for years now that the game would be set around there. Seeing what appears to be final proof, though, has a lot of us excited.…
Last we heard, Konami’s HD re-releases of the two Zone of the Enders games were coming out in “early-to-mid-2012”. Nope. They’re now coming in the Fall.
These images, supposedly from Doom 4, have popped up. It seems they were inadvertently spilled by the portfolio of artist Thao Le, a senior environmental artist at id Software (and since taken down). Turning up alongside the images, a user on 4chan has, in addition to sharing the pics, also claimed that the game has…
While Lisa’s shown that Konami’s iconic code has been to some strange places, few are as exotic as the Mushroom Kingdom, via Hyrule. UP UP DOWN DOWN LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT B A START [Dan Hipp]
I don’t think this counts as a mod, since all the guy’s done is stick a Wii Remote inside a giant replica of Samus Aran’s arm cannon from Metroid, but still…it means you can play Metroid Prime with a giant replica of an arm cannon. If you think/say “but it’ll get tiring”, you’re missing the…
Say the word “railgun” around a PC gamer and they’ll instantly start telling you stories about the Quake series, and how it’s such an awesome weapon in a make-believe future universe. They’re right on the former, but on the latter, not so much, because railguns are real, and the US Navy has one. Here it…
rmory Studios occupy a fascinating little niche in the video game concept art business: they specialise in the design of firearms. Based in Southern Germany, rmory is “particularly proud of and known for our believable, functioning and appealing weapon designs”. While guns are the team’s top priority, they also handle peripheral items like “gadgets” and…
You wouldn’t believe the number of comedy series and shorts that get crammed in our collective inboxes on a weekly basis. You may believe, however, that the majority of them are pretty awful. Which is why Gamestore is such a surprise. Because it actually looks pretty good. If you’ve ever worked at a video game…
Those unscrupulous sorts pirating the recent PC release of Starbreeze’s Syndicate have found a little surprise buried inside the release. And it’s not some kind of punishment or DRM. It’s…career advice? A message, which at first appears to be cracking instructions, is actually a note from Starbreeze to those digging through the pirated game’s files,…
One of 2011’s more pleasant surprises was The Binding of Isaac, a game Totilo described as “a wonderfully warped Old Testament take on The Legend of Zelda“. It’s been out on Steam for months now, but was also slated to appear on the 3DS eShop as a downloadable purchase. That was until Nintendo took a…
The 1990s were a great time for arcade racing games. Daytona, Cruis’n USA, the original Ridge Racer…but for all the quality on offer there, my friends and I spent more time and money on one game than any other. And that game was Namco’s Ace Driver First released in 1994, Ace Driver doesn’t look terribly…
This background art is from SNK’s Fatal Fury 3. Drink it in. It’s glorious, no? Then, when you’re done, take a closer look at the full image below (click to embiggen), and read some of the stuff written on the buildings. [via SpecSNK] Total Recall is a look back at the history of video games…
What is it with cars and killing people that gets the mainstream media so upset? Decades before series like Grand Theft Auto and Carmageddon were earning tut tuts and disapproving looks, an arcade game called Death Race ended up squarely in the sights of TV networks, newspapers and magazines. Taking more than a few cues…
Disclaimer: I have a very soft spot for bright, white consumer electronics. From the PSX to the white DSi to those limited white original Xbox consoles, I think they look great. Which is why I think this new glossy white Xbox 360 S console looks great as well. It’s available as part of a Kinect…
There’s a Neo Geo game called Aero Fighters 3. Until this month, it was assumed that it had never been released in the US. It never was, officially. But at least three copies are now known to exist anyway, and one of them just went for over $30,000 Reader Michael DiCioccio, a hardcore Neo Geo…
Earlier this month, Katsucon went down at the National Harbour resort in Marlyand, just outside Washington DC. There was loads of great cosplay, but since I’m in the middle of a “best in cosplay” series on Fancy Pants, haven’t been able to get to it in that weekly gallery. So in its place, here are…
