Some wonderful Red Dead Redemption fan art to kick your Tuesday morning off with. If it’s not the same for you without the song, here you go And if you didn’t know it’s actually an old Johnny Cash song, well, here’s that one too Bury Me Not [Lemmyleyra, via Rockstar]
In 1992, four guys stopped all the other rapping and producing they were doing, got together and quietly released one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time. Gravediggaz consisted, at least initially, of the Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA, Prince Paul, Frukwan and the sadly-deceased Poetic. The group’s 1994 album 6 Feet Deep (which, outside the…
You don’t see them as much at E3 these days, but events like the Tokyo Game Show or Germany’s GamesCom are full of young women (and sometimes men!) wearing very little clothing while trying to sell you video games. It may excite young male readers/visitors, but for the most part, it’s an awkward and occasionally…
The ATV series of driving games have always had their following, but there’s never been much to make the really stand out from the crowd. Which is the great thing about looking at concept art, because it’s here that you can see that, at some point in their development, the ATV games looked (or at…
Polytron’s Fez, a world-shifting indie platformer that’s been coming to Xbox Live Arcade longer than some of you have been alive, might actually be out soon. Why? It’s been rated by the ESRB. To be rated by the ESRB, it’s got to be almost completely finished, at least in terms of classifiable content. Last we…
What a breath of fresh air! No fancy pre-rendered trailers, no gruff American man giving a gruff American voice-over. Just a couple of French ladies selling a zombie video game using yoghurt and a cruise liner. These clips are for Resident Evil: Revelations, which was released a few days ago and which Totilo liked very…
The second this story went live, at midnight EST, January 30, the lights went out on LEGO Universe, a massively-multiplayer game that should have been amazing, but in the end, was far from it. With Minecraft doing everything people wanted from a LEGO game, and this LEGO game doing little to capitalise on why people…

Mistakes happen all the time in the world of reporting news. That’s what you get when dealing with humans telling you stories. It’s one thing to make a mistake, though, and another to completely make shit up Yet it seems that’s exactly what happened earlier this week when British tabloid The Daily Mail quoted a…
Mass Effect: Deception is the latest fictional spin-off from the sci-fi role-playing series, a novel due for release very soon. Previous novels in the franchise have been written by Drew Karpyshyn. This one, though, is written by a newcomer, William C. Dietz, and with some copies are already out there, fans are finding the thing…
A news program on Norwegian channel NRK got a little more than it bargained for last month when its producers needed a graphic for an eye chart. With just a few letters it stops being a serious report about eyesight and quickly looks just like a night spent playing Battlefield on the PC. OMG! Eye…
PC games leak all the time. Even console games eventually turn up on torrent sites once their discs are pressed. But an Xbox Live Arcade game getting out, and one which isn’t that close to release, that’s a little stranger. Yet that’s the situation Trials Evolution developers RedLynx find themselves in this week, with the…
Canadian animator Joel Furtado wants to see Nintendo make a sequel to Wind Waker. In HD. Since they’re likely to do no such thing, he went and made his own trailer for the dream project. Called The Legend of Zelda: The Lost Oracle, it looks…well, for a guy working on this for fun in his…
The irrepressible Dan Hipp inadvertently spoils the ending of the Zelda movie that never existed with this epic image. That or it’s suggesting that the Wii U can handle a lot more enemies on-screen than the Wii could. A lot more. MISTERHIPP: …LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED. [Mr. Hipp]
When you look at cosplay photos here on Fancy Pants, the cosplayers themselves are only half the project. Sure, with their craftsmanship and modelling they’re the focus, but if nobody was around to take their picture, then it’d all be for naught! So today’s instalment of my little celebration of the very best in cosplay…
Oh boy oh boy oh boy
Mods can make Skyrim look better. They can make Grand Theft Auto look better. They can make, well, just about any PC game look better. Including Mass Effect A man by the name of JeanLuc761 has made a high-resolution texture pack for Mass Effect 1 & 2 that takes the series’ relatively-muddy original textures and…
With the new Steam mobile app (yes!) currently only available in beta form (no!), many of you probably can’t actually access it. Never mind. This video is the next best thing. This video was also recorded on my shitty old digital camera (my iPhone’s lovely HD recording obviously unavailable because…that’s where the Steam app is),…
I’m not normally one to get that excited over iOS games, especially ones in development, but then Oceanhorn isn’t like most other iOS games, because most iOS games aren’t like The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker I know, looking forward to this clone while lambasting others make my a hypocrite, but fuck it. Wind Waker…
If you remember 2011, there was an ambitious idea to build a first-person shooter in which 1000 people could play against each other. Well, over the weekend that game – Man vs Machine – gave the 1000-player mark a damn good shake. Sadly, it “only” managed 999 players at once, but really, I’m sure a…
