It’s the return of Nanami Madobe! She’s the OS character (née OS-tan) for Windows 7. OS-tan is an anime personification of computer operating systems; they’re usually created online by fans.

The Avengers isn’t out in Japan yet, but will be later this week. However, the flick’s Japanese tagline is making a few people at least very, very upset.

Finally, Assassin’s Creed III’s Star Tries to Kill an American

Connor, the hero of the upcoming Assassin’s Creed III, is supposedly non-partisan. Sure, he’ll be swinging his tomahawk right through the middle of the American War of Independence, but like other games in the series, there’s the expectation that he’s out to get Templars, not the British, or Hanoverians, or the Native Americans. So it’s…

With Its Sweeping Nautical Battles, Assassin’s Creed III Finally Goes Full Pirate

I’ve been waiting for the Assassin’s Creed series to go full-pirate for a little while now.

Time to check in on Son of Nor, an intriguing little PC game that’s basically doing what Avatar (the cartoon) did only without the license.

If Scott Pilgrim Ever Met Contra, Or Metal Slug…

We last checked in on Mercenary Kings in June. It looked good then. With new screens and art (like the Bryan O’Malley-penned piece above), it’s looking even better now.

This is an Impressive, $400 Tribute to The Original Master Chief

Sideshow will soon be releasing this enormous piece based not only on Halo’s Master Chief, but on what looks like his original design from the very first Halo, all the way back in 2001.

Crysis 3 is Copying Predator, in the Best Way Possible

Well, not the best way possible. I don’t see any Jesse Ventura skins in this trailer. But it shows the second-best thing about the original Predator: the tension and excitement that results from a team of dudes trying to escape a jungle while an invisible killer stalks and murders them. This is Crysis 3’s “Hunter”…
