A meat bun shaped like a Dragon Quest Slime went on sale today in Japan. It’s probably the grossest thing Square Enix has ever done. Truly, truly horrifying. More » Ezio Is…
During the Black Friday chaos, one woman at a Walmart in Porter Ranch, San Fernando Valley pepper-sprayed shoppers during a scene of commercial chaos that broke out over video games. As previously posted, the Walmart was a mess, as the video game section was “torn down”, and several of the 100 people “waiting in line…

Instead, Square Enix provided artwork. 「FINAL FANTASY XIII-2」と「アサシン…
A meat bun shaped like a Dragon Quest Slime went on sale today in Japan. It’s probably the grossest thing Square Enix has ever done. Truly, truly horrifying. And yet, people cannot look away—and can’t stop playing with the damn things. Above, Twitter user @UesugiGuy carved up his Slime meat bun as if it were…
The pretty damn amazing Mario Kart 7 ad currently showing looks pretty damn amazing. So amazing that it’d be easy to assume the entire thing, actors aside, was computer generated. But it’s not! As you can see here in these short making-of clips, the ad team built real karts for the action. And didn’t just…
Nor is it Dragon Quest. As mentioned in an upcoming issue of Famitsu, the Tokyo-based game company is working on a new action role-playing game. The game currently does not have a title. While info has leaked from Famitsu, the full article has yet to hit newsstands. Helming the game will be Ryutaro Ichimura, who…
We’ve looked at it not once, but twice here on Fine Art, but the art of Deus Ex: Human Revolution is so damn good I figured it was worth one more feature. Especially since we’ve got some all-new pieces to share. Good things come in threes, right? Richard Dumont, whose work on the game we…
To be clear, the legal sale of Battlefield 3 in Iran has never exactly been widespread. But as is the way of the world, “street vendors” had been selling the game anyway, and according to reports that’s resulted in a crackdown from Iranian authorities While many retailers never even bothered stocking the game (in which…
In late November, which is now, Nintendo was supposed to release a big 3DS update. It won’t. Today, Nintendo announced that the 3DS’s big November update won’t be released in November. Instead, it will hit by Dec. 8, making this a big December update. With the update, it will become possible to transfer batches of…
It’s slightly cruel in a “Bart Simpson vs Ms. Krabappel” kinda way, but equally hilarious: someone has signed up to a dating site using the persona of Assassin’s Creed hero Ezio Auditore, and done what Ezio does best. Seduce the ladies. Some of them understand what’s going on, and are sports about it. Others actually…
Thought it was stupid and awful that Namco Bandai was releasing Ridge Racer with only three tracks? Wait until you hear what the DLC is. There’s free weekly DLC planned—but it’s music from previously released Ridge Racer games. According to Japanese game magazine Famitsu, in February 2012, Namco will release a “Ridge Racer Pass”, which…
Last time we saw indie PC game Gunpoint, I said it looked like “Deus Ex meets Canabalt“. Which after seeing this clip seems a little unfair. It looks way more interesting than that.

Dragon Shout is an iPhone app that wants to be your digital journal for Skyrim. And from the sounds of it, may actually pull it off. Billed as an “interactive map”, it’s essentially a giant, zoomable map of the game’s province that lets you drop markers and notes on things like dropped loot, areas for…
Polyphony Digital, known for its Gran Turismo games, created one of the greatest mecha games ever—a fact the developer no longer makes known. In 1999 a developer renowned for its pedigree in creating driving simulators ventured into pastures where high speed mecha roam. The developer was Polyphony Digital, the game: Omega Boost for the original…
Perhaps you are a female. Perhaps you are a female who resembles Lilith from Borderlands. Or perhaps you know someone who does. If so, the game’s developer, Gearbox Sofware, has a deal for you. From the developer’s website: Do you want to be a character in a video game? We’re looking for someone to become…
In this video, two men are playing a game of FIFA. Or maybe Pro Evo. Doesn’t matter, since they’re not really playing what’s on the screen. They’re controlling real men playing a real game of football. The execution is a little lacking in places, where the players either improvise on their own accord or take…
Square Enix, the studio behind role-playing games Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy, is allowing one of its most iconic characters, a Dragon Quest Slime, to be sold as a meat bun. The results are horrific and disgusting. Back in September, Japanese television clued me into the fact that, no, I do not want to put…
There’s no shortage of top-shelf Half-Life fan films on the internet, but the thing is, most of them are based on the second game in the series. Not many are based on the first. This one is, though, and it’s pretty good! It doesn’t really get the feel of the game’s intro, but for fan…
Gun effects, soundbytes and a healthy dose of dubstep. Oh, and Call of Duty. By all accounts this clip should be tough to watch, but it’s actually damn catchy. Modern Warfare 3 Dubstep [Gamefreaks] You can contact Luke Plunkett, the author of this post, at [email protected]. You can also find him on Twitter, Facebook, and…
One very valid complaint that was levelled against Elder Scrolls IV is that it often felt like there were only three people voicing the game’s entire cast. In Skyrim, for the most part, that’s been fixed. And then some. Even when you get past the token celebrity voice actors, you see there’s a vast, talented…
