Here’s your first look at Nintendo’s eShop. Or at least, the Japanese version. You might think it looks a little bulky, but remember, this console has a touch-screen controller, meaning the whole thing is going to be about a million times faster to get around than Microsoft or Sony’s offerings. eShop [Nintendo]
Let’s say you’re new to a series. Or are in a position where you’re recommending a series to a friend who’s never played it. Or just feel like debating the finer points of a franchise with a friend, and deciding which of a big gaming franchise is the best Since you can’t play loads of…
Being video game developers, and not men and women who make a living beating other people into a pulp, you can’t expect the team behind Assassin’s Creed III to know everything about the art of fisticuffs. So for Ubisoft’s latest entry in the series, they enlisted the help of MMA fighter (and stunt coordinator) Andrew…
I think we better get indoors. That pug is easily startled, but he’ll soon be back, and in greater numbers. Banthapug [YouTube, via Neatorama]
LA Game Space is an ambitious idea to seize an old warehouse in the Arts District of Los Angeles, California and turn it into what sounds like a home for game design and independent titles. Its creators aren’t looking to turn it into a store, or an arcade, but something a little more serious and,…
Because Halo wears its love for James Cameron’s Aliens on its sleeve (and its legs, and its face), this machinima video splicing the classic sci-fi flick with Halo’s HD remake is about as perfect a union as you’re going to find. If you think you’ve seen it before, you might have! Haliens did almost exactly…
We’ve featured the work of Ubisoft artist Gilles Beloeil here on Fine Art before, but you know what, that was for Assassin’s Creed Revelations. Since Assassin’s Creed III is just out, now’s probably a good time to cover his more recent work on the series. Unlike the pieces we saw the other day, which were…
Still not happy with the way the Mass Effect saga drew to a close, a team of modders have released something for the PC version of Mass Effect 3 called MEHEM. Or, the “Mass Effect Happy Ending Mod”. SPOILERS TO FOLLOW. You can see the edited and re-composited ending above. I…don’t see much happy about…
In the last ten years, while Microsoft has published all kinds of awesome games on the Xbox 360 (and has lately been quietly publishing XBLA games on the PC), it’s published exactly three of its major shooters. Halo, Halo 2 and the first Gears of War It’s a stupid move, one that seems increasingly stupid…
Poor Origin. Powered by EA, the company everyone loves to hate, and going up against Steam, the service everyone loves to love, it’s had a rough start to life. But EA has, ever so slowly, been improving the service, and the biggest improvement of all is rolling out with the next update. The publisher has…
I told you not to get too excited. The next Uncharted game will be a “casino/card game”, according to its Brazilian ratings clasification. Called Uncharted: Fight for Fortune, it’s for the PlayStation Vita, and given its lack of marketing to the point where it’s being revealed by ratings boards, you can bet it’ll be a…
This is what it looks like when official game merchandise makes the long and arduous journey from cool gear to acceptable gear to terrible crap before breaking through to become something so ridiculous it’s a must-have. It’s an official Assassin’s Creed III bathrobe, complete with hood. For those times when your rubber duckie must be…
If you saw a screenshot of Sui Generis, you’d think, hey, look, it’s another Diablo clone. But take a look at it moving. Those physics! Developers Bare Mettle say the game is an “open world RPG for the PC”, featuring “Advanced AI and a hugely interactive game world” and “lifelike battles in which your wits…
It was Valve boss Gabe Newell’s birthday on November 3, and to mark the occasion, some kids from 4chan’s /v/ (the board’s video games group) went and paid him a visit in the flesh. In addition to giving him a giant card (which they do every year), and getting the chance to wish him a…
Roger Dean is one of the greatest pop artists of the 20th century, his work memorable amongst both music fans and gamers alike So it’s both weird and welcome that, this being 2012, we’ve finally got a game devoted entirely to his work, and not just using it for a cover, or logo, or arcade…
So, you guys remember Lindsey Sterling, right? She takes her video game music very seriously. As you’re about to see in this Assassin’s Creed clip that’s like a cosplaying music video. Assassin’s Creed III- Lindsey Stirling [Lindsey Sterling]
Hey, it’s rickonami, back with another HD remake of a famous video game intro. Last time we saw him, he was messing with some classic console games, but his latest is a little closer to my heart. It’s a reinterpretation of the intro to 1991’s Another World, which in case you weren’t gaming (or were…
The litter was calling me, like granulated pieces of my broken past. But pooping on the floor was all I had left. They’d taken everything else from me, that night my world came crashing down. A knife in the dark, a cold table. My manhood, gone, along with the rest of the garbage. Her scent…
When Star Wars and Disney inevitably meet, whether it be in a Kingdom Hearts game or something else designed to print money, it won’t look like this. Pity. It should at least sound like this. Eclectic Method – Disney Wars [Eclectic Method]
So much of Halo 4, like the rest of the series, is busy. Lots of action, lots of colours, lots of stuff all over the screen. So this concept art from the game is a refreshing break, stripping things back to let us see the game’s enemies and locations on nothing but a field of…
