Go go dancing sunflowers and pea-shooters caroused at Pop Cap Games’ party last night, chasing and being chased by big-headed zombies among party goers. The night’s festivities also included a selection of zombie-themed drinks and food. The drink selection included Vechey’s Vodka & Vitriol and Fiete’s Fulminating Feat, while the food selection included Plants Vs……
H.W.C. is a great, great song — one of the best songs on Liz Phair’s self-titled album. It’s also about, well, cum. No matter, the shopping mall I stopped at today thought it was perfect parking garage music. Because when you think of parking cars, you think of…yeah What The 3DS Comes With Is Pretty…
Programmed in the early 1960s, Spacewar! is the granddaddy of video games. It’s inspired countless other games and has stood the test of time. You know what else has stood the test of time? The game’s source code. Here’s how. “In 1997 we posted a playable version of the Spacewar!, the first graphical computer game,”…
The nuttiness continues, with Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono “caught” red-handed trying to steal from rival studio, Namco. As see on Katsuhiro Harada’s Twitpic Gameface is a photographic celebration of the people who make, play and love video games.
Today in Japan, the 3DS got its first update. Much of the update is typical firmware stuff, fixing bugs and improving the network connection. But there was also a special treat included. Nintendo sent out a 3D clip of the Super Mario Bros. theme being performed by the song’s composer Koji Kondo at this year’s…
For a sport where things propelled by man move really fast, there aren’t many games about the humble bicycle. Um, why not? I don’t mean a game where you ride your bike to the shops for a pint of milk. Or about 8 year-olds getting to and from school. I mean something where bikes are…
ArmA2 is a very serious military simulation that likes to kill people without warning and make them travel insane distances to do it. Which only makes this all the more awesome. A member of PC Gamer’s multiplayer crew has flipped that seriousness right on its head, managing to code himself up a special bus. The…
They take a little longer to eat in real life. And taste better with a good bottle of red. By Mario Siabatto Gameface is a photographic celebration of the people who make, play and love video games.
Let’s face it. The 3DS launch line-up is so-so. But more than dark horse Steel Diver or the Japan-only Professor Layton title, there is one 3DS title you should get. This is that game. Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition is the 3DS version of console-turned-arcade-game Super Street Fighter IV. It’s…Street Fighter. You fight other…
From left to right: Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Magicka: Vietnam and Battlefield: Bad Company2: Vietnam. And Battlefield 3? You better believe it. At least Magicka is joking.
Gaming art collective iam8bit have teamed up with the organisers of the Game Developers Conference to release some posters for attendees. Each person gets two.

The man who created Pac-Man three decades ago says he has a vision for the next version of the venerable dot eater. He wants Pac-Man to sing a song. “I’m thinking of the next version [of Pac-Man], the next evolution,” game designer Toru Iwatani said at his GDC 2011 Pac-Man post mortem. “I’m thinking of…
For a few years now, the people at Electronic Arts have been trying to make a better ice cream sundae. It’s hard to improve the ice cream sundae, of course, because it’s already a sure crowd-pleaser. Some might even question why, though obviously ice cream sells really well and that’s probably one of the main…
Here’s your first look at gameplay footage from EA’s upcoming Battlefield 3. If you thought that would mean a clip free from singleplayer scripting, well, you thought wrong.
Nintendo really screwed up when it named its new portable the 3DS. A better moniker would have the Nintendo Super DS, because thanks to its on board software, that’s exactly what it is. The Nintendo 3DS hardware is only one part of the equation. It’s a big, important part. But players also interact with Nintendo’s…
Skull Girls is a game we’ve been keeping a quiet eye on for a while now here. And with good reason. It looks great!

The last of “action company” Thousand Pounds’ series of Street Fighter IV flicks is now live. For a bunch of guys jumping around doing imaginary kicks, it’s brutal as hell. Oh, and funny, too. Don’t forget the funny. Does anyone else think an actual game like this would be great? Somewhere between Fight Night and…
I’ve a long-standing argument that there’s never really been a great video game movie. Just a few decent ones. That rule actually needs a little explaining. You see, I mean there’s never really been a great video game adaptation While flicks like Prince of Persia, Tomb Raider and Silent Hill have their fans, none of…
What’s new on the North American PlayStation Store this week? One great new game in the PixelJunk series, an add-on for the also great Dead Space 2 and, if you’ll excuse the use of “great” one more time, a great PlayStation classic. Vagrant Story, Dead Space 2: Severed and PixelJunk Shooter 2 make this a…
Penny Arcade and Minecraft are teaming up to make a new game that seeks to reinvent the classic collectible card game genre.
