This is what happens when a talented Minecraft player Google image searches "modern house" and rebuilds what he finds in-game. I'd say redditor ELWORRIER did a darn good job. Look below for the full comparison pic, and an imgur album filled with more exterior and interior shots. Read more

This single piece of concept art is all the info we have so far on Harebrained Schemes' next Shadowrun Returns campaign, which is hitting Kickstarter next month. Dragonfall was a huge improvement over the original game/campaign, so it should be interesting to see what they'll come up with next. Read more

The Scout tries to break through the fourth wall in redditor Karhunperse's Source Filmmaker photoshop, aptly named "4th Wall." It might also be a reference to the thematically similar Saxxy Award-winning short, Animation vs. Animator, mentioned by Karhunperse in the post's comments. Full pic below. Read more

Gotta love me some meta pixel art. Redditor jiraph52 "made a giant Hotbar" in Minecraft. Not much else to say, is there? You can find more closeups in the embedded Imgur album below. Read more

Link faces Gyorg in a 19th century-era Termina. The painting, called "Majora's Mask Remix," is the work of VFX artist Valdis Matas, who posted the pic to the Polycount forums' 2D section last week. It's quite amazing. Read more

Cuboid hedgehogs are the cutest hedgehogs. This GIF is from a "preview of a biome's artistic development" from Planets³, the Kickstarter-funded Minecraftlike that's going pre-alpha in January. The full video is below, showing off the whole (rather gorgeous) scene, with the hedgehog squeaking adorably.

This shot of an alien alpaca in a car has little do with Starbound's big upcoming Winter update, but it's still amusing. Speaking of the update, it's scheduled to come out in January, packed with content like tons of new items, a new playable race, ship upgrades, and more biomes. There's a trailer for it below.

Ghosts 'n Goblins sure looks grim as a current-gen game. The shots are from a seven-week, eight-person student project where the goal was to "recreate the classic game with a next-gen look in Unreal Engine 4." Well, they succeeded. The fruits of their labors, a two-minute video and five HD shots, are below.

A metaphor for the struggle of the common man, or perhaps a reference to the mythical tale of Sisyphus? Nah. YouTuber BetaTheData's machine is merely a tribute to a skit found in the 2012 clip Bite-Sized Minecraft, itself likely a variation on your average Useless Box. 15-second video with a humorous ending below.

A serene view from Just Cause 3. Of course, Rico will likely take over the chopper in the next minute or so and drop it on the heads of several panicking soldiers. All in a day's work. The picture's part of a batch of 21 new screenshots recently sent out by Square Enix—you can find the other 20 below. Read more

Just another adventure for Calvin and Hobbes. This eight-inch-tall figure was sculpted and hand-painted by Emily Coleman of emilySculpts.com. The piece took Coleman 25 hours to complete, who noted that "sculpting comic strip characters is very very hard." Head over to her DeviantArt gallery for more sculpty goodness. Read more

Here's two out of the six minimalist Mass Effect posters released by artist Noble-6 yesterday. You can find the rest below, and if you dig the style, make sure to check out the guy's Redbubble portfolio here or DeviantART page here. He's covered a whole lot, from Halo and Starcraft to Star Wars and Half-Life. Read more

As they always say, the sincerest form of flattery is when someone remakes your stuff in Unreal Engine 4. This time, the remakee is Hideo Kojima's P.T., and the remaker is level artist Jonathan Vallieres, this being his first, 2.5-month UE4 project. Video's below, and you can find lots of WIP shots here.

Here's a team of astronauts, busy building the Endurance from Interstellar in blocky Minecraft form. The vessel was recreated in-game by the Korea-based Team Lopac, who also shot a timelapse video of the construction for the project's Planet Minecraft page. You can find the clip below.

This is the Dungeon Heart and the treasury from a Minecraft recreation of a whole Dungeon Keeper 2 map. It was built by YouTuber spumwack in survival mode, which means he gathered all the materials by hand. Nicely done! There's many more (annotated) shots in the Imgur album below, showing off the various rooms. Read more

A Guild Wars 2 sitcom starring Tyria's famous band of heroes, Destiny's Edge? I guess that could work—they already take up a good chunk of the screentime in GW2's campaign, anyway. The pics are from a Friends intro mashup created by YouTuber and Guild Wars aficionado Levi. Watch it below.

Well of course there's a Kerbal Space Program version of the new Star Wars trailer. It's a bit simplistic, yes, but keep in mind that this was done in a spaceship-building sandbox game. Considering that, it's pretty impressive how similar it turned out. You can check out the video below.

Starbound turns one year old next week, and it's just as beautiful as on day one. The game has been getting regular updates since summer in the form of nightly builds—in this screenshot, lead developer Tiyuri is showing off a boat that may or may not end up in the game eventually. That sunset and those colors,… Read more

This isn't a Kingdom Hearts screenshot—it's a 3D recreation of Maleficent's throne room by environment artist Andy Hansen, with hand-painted textures inspired by Disney's Sleeping Beauty. The project's one-year journey is chronicled in this six-page Polycount forum thread, and the full image can be found below. Read more
