How 2011’s Best Game Trailer (So Far) Was Made

That amazing trailer for upcoming shooter Bulletstorm — the one taking the mick out of Halo’s famous “diorama” trailer — wasn’t done with fancy computers. It was done the old-fashioned way. With artists. And fake vomit. A Reddit user’s girlfriend worked on the commercial, and ereinecke posted a series of pics showing how the trailer…

Mysterious URL Hints At More Final Fantasy XIII

Like the movie business, video games can be incredibly insular, lots of the same kind of thing coming out at the same time. But these games — all from the same game maker — go a little beyond that.

2 Guns Might Save Uncharted From Cinematic Slaughter

Adventure franchise Uncharted has a Hollywood film in the works, and it sounds just terrible. There might be a sliver of hope. The movie apparently stars Mark Wahlberg, which isn’t a bad thing, because he is a talented actor. Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci are supposedly attached, too. Likewise, not bad things! It’s just…

Who Wants Sarah Palin’s Xbox 360 Autograph Anyway?

People might want the Alaska politician-cum-celebrity’s autograph, but maybe just not on an Xbox 360 for a million bucks.

Sony Telling People The PSP2 Is As Powerful As A PS3

Masked Avengers Doing Good In Japan

A forty-year-old manga starring a mask-wearing wrestler is inspiring Japan to do good. Only, they are dishing out presents instead of punches. Rwar.

Does The World Really Need A Wireless Graphics Card?

It would seem the answer is a tentative “yes”, with the release of the KFA2 GeForce GTX460 graphics card. Those spindly extensions are wi-fi antennas, meaning the card can transmit its video signal over thin air. Why, you may ask, would I want to do that? The thinking is that it lets people separate their…

Jumping The Flagpole In Super Mario Bros. — On The First Level

Jumping the flagpole in Super Mario Bros. is possible. This has been proven. Have you seen it on World 1-1, though? Well, thanks to this glitch, you will. [NSFW audio because this guy’s nom de plume is ‘Motherfucker Mike’]. Mike says this video is 100 percent real and was done on a console, not on…
