This Incredible “Real” Minecraft Game Only Uses Two Blocks
On display at the XOXO Indie Arcade event in Portland, this Minecraft project has only two blocks. But they’re real, you can touch them, and if you use the included hammers, you can smash them and they react in much the same way they do in the actual game. If you’re wondering how creator Ben…

Simply the Best Assassin’s Creed Cosplay You’ll Ever See
The HDR photography might make them look a little too much like action figures, but that’s a niggle. Everything else about these two, from the photography to the “acting” to the outfits, is just about perfect. The Dutch pair, dressed as Connor and Aveline (from the Vita’s Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation) respectively, were so impressive…

Guild Wars 2 Player Kicks Ass Using Only His Cheek, Mouth
If you’re a Guild Wars 2 player and have ever complained about a sore wrist, or tired eyes, here’s something that might put your issues in perspective. Keith “Aieron” Knight was born with Amyoplasia Arthrogryposis, which basically means he can barely move his body. At all. Yet he still takes on other GW2 players, and…

The Soundtrack to the New Devil May Cry, Compressed Into a Single Trailer
If I had to pick the kind of music that the new, younger Dante would listen to in Ninja Theory’s Devil May Cry reboot, it would… yeah, it would be pretty much this. Wonder what happens in the game to make him grow up to look like a guy who listens to Joy Division and…

Two Months Of Playing Games While Standing Up
About six weeks ago, I wrote an article about how I’d gotten really into playing games while standing up. It sparked all manner of interesting conversation, and I think that I convinced a few people to give standing a shot. Given that I’ve been standing up while working (and playing) for two months now, I…

Ace Attorney 5’s New Trailer Makes Phoenix Wright Look Even Cooler
You’d expect the first 3D Phoenix Wright/Ace Attorney game to look in motion. And whaddya know, it does. Tastefully done, Capcom, you’ve done a great job maintaining the art style of the DS games while spicing things up a little for the 3D-capable hardware.

You’ll Never Believe Where This Gorgeous New Building Game Comes From
If someone sat me down and presented me with this gorgeous Technicolor dream of a world building-game called Patterns and then asked me what company was responsible for creating it, I could have guessed for hours and never gotten it right. Now, if there’d been a unicorn penis in the trailer… It’s a little sad…
