Steampunk Star Wars AT-AT Would Be The Slowest Thing In The Galaxy

Not just the slowest, but the Empire probably couldn’t do anything with it on Hoth in the snow. Markus1984 built this alternate, steamy LEGO version of the AT-AT walker for a building competition and while it might be slow, those gatling guns in front look really badass. Here are some close-ups. Check out the builder’s…

If SNK Made StarCraft…

SNK does not make StarCraft. Blizzard makes StarCraft, and SNK made its name with 2D games like Samurai Shodown and The King of Fighters.

Where Adventure Games Meet Brutal Survival Sims

So Kônalooks pretty interesting. It’s part-adventure game, part-survival sim. It’s got Oculus Rift support. And it’s about a 1970s murder mystery in the freezing Canadian north. The player, hired to investigate the vandalism of a rich industrialist’s home, arrives to find that not only is his client missing, but the entire town – including the…

Rule, Britannia! And Steal Some Fish-Man’s Eggs…
