When Esther and Ryan got married, they wanted to incorporate video games into the celebration. So they got artist Larry Quach to come up with a bunch of stuff that didn’t just blow their guests away, it’s blowing us away with them. He did invitations shaped like NES cartridges, complete with black sleeve. He made…
This Syndicate clip runs for 11:06. Which is enough time to show you one mission from the upcoming shooter. It’s also 11:06 of you walking around just…holding a gun. It’s not just me, right? That gets distracting. This is a slow level, more like something from Deus Ex than an action game, with very little…
Owen was right. I don’t think sports games are worth reviewing. But the battle between FIFA and Pro Evo, the biggest annual contest not just in sports but in all of gaming, is too big to ignore. Having played both of this year’s games, then, I figured I’d write something up on the state of…
Based in the UK, Georgi “Calader” Simeonov works at Splash Damage, meaning he had a hand in the lovely “nothing but blue skies” art design of multiplayer shooter Brink So we’ll be showing you some of that, but also some of his other stuff on titles like Sony’s MMO Star Wars Galaxies, along with something…
Prop builder Zander Brandt figured the world was short on replica M-29 Incisor rifles from Mass Effect 2. So he went and made one. The Incisor is one of the sniper rifles available in the game, and for most of it was my go-to weapon; it’s the one that fires three shots at once. Most…

Yoshimitsu may be one of the stars of Tekken (and Soulcalibur!), but he’s not exactly a household name. Which should make Kotobukiya’s decision to make a big, expensive statue of him seem silly. That is, until you see it. Wearing his Tekken Tag Tournament 2 outfit, the detail in the figure and “gore” on the…
Cliffhanger Productions, the team currently working on Jagged Alliance Online, are also working on a new Shadowrun game. Yes, a new Shadowrun game. And it’s not a shooter. Phew. The popular old role-playing franchise, which had great adaptations on the Genesis and SNES and a terrible one on the Xbox 360 and PC, will be…
Battleship? It’s for cowards. And small children. Grown ups play Battleshots, which substitutes plastic pegs for boats full of booze. Sure, it takes a bit longer to set up, and costs a lot more than the venerable old board game, but it looks a lot more fun. Dangerous too, but there’s fun in danger You…
David Hasselhoff, probably for no reason other than the fact he is David Hasselhoff, figures a lifetime spent acting and singing at Germans has adequately prepared him for the role of video game designer. Speaking with Reuters about Burnout Crash, the EA game which he’s recently been helping market, the 59 year-old said, “I’ve wanted…

Earlier this month, it became known that the US Air Force’s aerial drones had been infected with malware. It didn’t blow them up or anything, but it was embarrassing for the Air Force nonetheless. It’s even more embarrassing now. According to an “anonymous defense official” speaking with the Associated Press, via Wired, the type of…
Just like Japan, in the US there’ll be a 20MB download limit attached to the 3G version of the PlayStation Vita, Sony announced yesterday. The limit of course only applies to data being downloaded over a 3G network; if you’re downloading via wi-fi, on either the 3G or wi-fi-only models of the Vita, you can…

Around the turn of the millennium, Namco showed off an arcade game that looked like it had fallen out of the 22nd century. Housed in a giant cabinet called O.R.B.S., it was a sequel to old-school shooter Star Blade, and could have been just the kind of thing the dying arcade scene was in need…

ElMangosto’s special lady certainly knows the way to get him to pull his weight around the house: Dead Island and boobs. If it doesn’t look entirely familiar to you, this chores list is built like the quest screens from recent zombie paradise death simulator Dead Island Well, except for one of those payoffs. Crecente reviewed…

Batman’s a comic book character, so he’s been through more redesigns than I could count. We’re about to see another one in the upcoming Arkham City, in fact. I haven’t seen many I like as much as this one, though. It’s by Australian video game artist Adam Fisher, who as part of a Comic Con…
