It’s been a long time since games like Railroad Tycoon and Sid Meier’s Railroads! were popular, so Railway Empire is here to give fans something a bit newer. I had a quick play of the game last week and it’s fun! It’s very similar to Sid Meier’s Railroads!, and some of the menu design is…
It can be tough to tell Spider-Man costumes apart sometimes, but this one’s new: it’s the design being used for the upcoming PS4 game by Insomniac. Cosplay is by Naaiiled It Creative, whose pose (and finger control!) look like something straight out of an artist’s sketchbook. Photo by Arcane Shutter

Miitomo, Nintendo’s first tentative step into the world of mobile gaming, will be ceasing operations at 12:00am on May 9. While Nintendo can’t reach into your phone and delete the app, they’ll be shutting down pretty much everything it relies on, saying “If you launch the app after the end of service on 5/9, you’ll…
As they have many times before, German studio Karakter were employed by HBO to help out on the latest series of Game of Thrones, to work on not just VFX and general concept stuff, but also to design locations like Dragonstone as well. Below you can see some examples of their work, which included some…
On the left, fenixfatalist as Sailor Neptune. On the right, her husband vergiil-sparda as Sailor Uranus. It’s not their first time cosplaying together (see below), but it is his first time crossplaying, and it’s absolutely incredible. We’ve actually featured fenixfatalist a bunch here previously, if you’d like to check out more of her cosplay:
My beloved Aston Villa, once champions of Europe but now languishing in England’s second division, haven’t given me much to smile about the last few years. Except for today, with some A+ video game-related social media banter. Some background: fellow Championship side Leeds United (another former English powerhouse down on its luck) released a new…

UBOOT is an upcoming board game from Phalanx. It’s played in real-time with 1-4 people joining up co-operatively to manage everything about a German U-Boat, from the crew to the tactics. It’s also got an app, and a giant cardboard model of a submarine. Goodness me. Players have to team up to do everything. Stuff…
The mark of a good Zelda cosplayer is good Zelda cosplay. The mark of a great one is being able to pull of quality cosplay across all different types of eras and designs, like Norway’s Sophie Riiscan. Here she is cosplaying as Link as he appears in all kinds of games and settings, from Breath…

According to a story on The Hollywood Reporter, John Cena is in talks to star as Duke Nukem in a “a star vehicle” film for the former wrestler. There is no director or writer attached to the project at the moment; at the moment it’s all on paper as a means to get Cena on…
Assassin’s Creed Origins is not a game about Egypt. It’s not a game about Rome, or even about the first days of the Assassin Brotherhood. It’s a game about a husband and wife. What follows is best read if you’ve completed the game’s story. Origins takes a while to get going, but once it does,…

He does not do…
Even if someone’s uncle really did work at Nintendo, guess what: he probably didn’t get that kid down the street a copy of Mario for free. Chris Bieniek from Video Game Ephemera has got hold of some 1991 “Employee Purchase Order” paperwork from Nintendo of America, which shows how workers were able to buy their…

That Blizzard anime from last week was one of the coolest video game clips I have ever seen, but it turns out it wasn’t the work of the company’s in-house cinematics team. Instead, it was made by two British studios, with help from some of the best video game artists in the business. The Line…
I used this video games platform to call Paul George’s first signature shoe (the PG1) “trash” last year, so it’s only fair I return in 2018 to say his second is “not trash”. George launched the revised PG2 sneaker over the weekend in the Thunder’s game against the Cavs, with a special PlayStation model of…
Imagine yourself at 70. Then imagine yourself doing deadlifts to keep in shape so you can keep cosplaying. At 70. Shirley Chua is a treasure. The Singaporean, a former beauty pageant contestant, has found a contemporary way to get back to her modelling days by cosplaying, and talks all about it in this interview with…
