This year, Sega mascot Sonic the Hedgehog turns 20. To honour the occassion, those classy Frenchmen at Amusement magazine put together a very classy tribute. There’s a pixellated Sonic, Sonic as Genesis mascot and…a pair of beautiful French people “cosplaying” as Sonic and Tails. You can check the pics out over on Amusement‘s site. Or,…

Hethe Srodawa is a concept artist who works at Trion Worlds on the developer’s long-coming collaboration with the SyFy channel. Which is cool! But it’s not why we’re here today. We’re here because Srodawa used to work for Rockstar, and contributed art to games like Red Dead Redemption, Max Payne 3, LA Noire, Agent and…
There aren’t enough adventure games on the iPhone. Well, new ones, at least. So thank you, House On Fire, for working on an adventure game for the iPhone. This is The Silent Age, a moody point-and-click that jumps your boring character —described as “literally Joe Average”—between two eras, 1972 and 2012. House On Fire describe…
While the world waits to see if the MechWarrior game coming to the PC is any good, another MechWarrior game has turned up. Out of nowhere. And this one’s for the iPhone and ipad. No, wait! Come back! Before you roll your eyes, it’s called MechWarrior: Tactical Command, which to me implies some degree of…
While I prefer the name I gave this beast, it’s actual title is Skevader. It’s the work of artist Ryan Renders, and it’s making my inner child perform double then triple takes. Every time you blink or look away it changes. It’s Darth Vader! Its Skeletor! It’s Darth Vader! It’s Papa Lazarou! Ryan-Renders [DeviantArt, via…

Michael McWhertor, formerly of Kotaku, currently of GameTrailers and always of chestcloth providers Meat Bun, is brightening up the holiday season with what I think is the best collection of shirts his little operation has yet to come up with.

Actor Nolan North is the voice of 1000 video game characters, most notably Uncharted’s Nathan Drake and Assassin’s Creed’s Desmond. In this clip, though, you’ll see him try his hand at other people’s voices. Sure, it starts with his own characters, like Drake and Arkham City’s Penguin, but quickly moves into strangetown with his attempts…
There’s been a story kicking around for a few years now that Peter Moore, formerly of Sega and Microsoft, was the man who killed the Dreamcast. Turns out he actually didn’t. Why it took over three years to set the record straight is anyone’s guess, but in an interview with IndustryGamers, he sets the record…
Even when it was released in 2006, Nintendo’s Wii games were already looking a little past it, stuck as they were in the muddy depths of standard-definition resolution and on relatively old hardware. In 2011, they’re way past it. Not to worry. If you’d rather play your Wii games in stunning HD – and trust…
This old Famicom has what’s called a GetLoFi Precision Oscillator in it. Don’t know what that is? It can make the console sound like this Circuit-Bent NES [MAKE]
Gilles Beloeil is a concept artist and digital matte painter at Ubisoft’s flagship Montreal studio. Know what that means? Yup. More awesome Assassin’s Creed art. While right now he’s working on an “unannonced (sic) AAA game”, he’s been involved in the Assassin’s Creed series, most recently on Revelations We looked at some art from this…
Anastasia Cisarovna. The Baroness. She’s just one of the many memorable villains that make up the GI Joe universe, but for many young men, she’s the most memorable. The suit and glasses, you know. While the 2009 movie didn’t really do her justice, this statue from Sideshow Collectibles certainly does. Capturing her sexy swagger (if…
Mike Capps, president of Gears of War and Unreal Engine powerhouse Epic, gives one reason why his company isn’t yet developing a game for the PlayStation Vita. Considering he also told GI.biz in an interview, “I’m not sure how well it’s going to be accepted in our Western market which is primarily where our games…
We get to see behind the scenes at big game development studios all the time. Independent studios working on the sequel to a mod that was made for someone else’s game? That’s a side of game development we don’t normally get to see. So it’s great to see it in this clip from Unknown Worlds,…

Today’s Shigeru Miyamoto news shows that not even the biggest names in development are around forever. One man, though, plans on sticking around forever. One very brown man. That man is of course Yakuza and Super Monkey Ball’s Toshihiro Nagoshi, now 46, who in an interview with Gamasutra, said, “It’s not that I’m satisfied at…
Good evening, Kotaku. I hope you weren’t trying to get any sleep tonight. This Garry’s Mod masterpiece is a little bit Dead Space, a little bit Half-Life 2, and a whole lot of never going to sleep ever again. It’s the work of postal123 and craptasket. Thank them, if you must. Or blame them. [thanks…
Over the years playing games, you’ve probably fallen into lava hundreds of times. Maybe thousands. Yet for all that falling, and dying, and cursing, did you ever wonder what would actually happen if you wound up on a pool of molten rock? Like, outside of a video game? Wired’s Erik Klemetti knows what happens, and…
