Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a game that’s art direction was so memorable, and so well-loved, that I figured it was worth a second round of concept art. Whereas last time we looked at a little bit of everything from a whole bunch of the game’s artists, today we’re looking at some new stuff from…
Polyphony boss Kaz Yamauchi has announced that an update to GT5, called Spec 2.0, will be out in the third week of October, with DLC due a week later. Sadly, no word on what’s actually in them.
The Legend of Zelda is a series that, over the years, has taken on a life of its own, developing a tone and depth to its universe not really present in any single game. You’ll rarely see shit get as serious as it does in this image by Zac Gorman, for example. And yet, despite…
EA has announced that it’s upcoming reboot of the Syndicate universe will be out in February 2012. That’s, not long after the game’s reveal, but remember, Starbreeze has been working on this game for years
You might not know it, but the amount of work that goes into designing a video game cover is mind-boggling. Everything from the characters to the angles to the colours is considered, checked and focus-tested to within an inch of its life. It’s a lot of hard work! Which is instantly, and wonderfully undone by…
Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a prequel to the original game that took years to develop, cost millions of dollars and drastically re-imagined the look of the universe. That was cool with many people, but if you prefer the original, you should check out this fan-made project. Billed as another Deus Ex prequel, 2027 is…
When we first saw the plans for a remake of Duke Nukem 3D, Mike wasn’t exactly confident it would ever be released. With good reason: it looks like it won’t ever be released. Despite initially getting the green light from IP owners Gearbox, the fan-made project has stalled, an announcement on Duke Nukem 3D Reloaded‘s…
There once was a genre on home computers that was more awesome than any other. It involved space ships, and exploration, and trading, and combat. It was games like Elite, Frontier and Privateer These days, that genre is basically dead. Except for Drifter, which is trying to bring it back. And God bless it for…
They may have helped save the Earth in the Halo series, but the UNSC’s ODST forces seem to be having a little trouble adjusting to civilian life now that the war’s over. Case in point: you don’t need armour to go to McDonalds. The drive-thru at McDonalds. Unless you’re Fahey, that is And you, uh,…
From what we’ve heard, the next generation of consoles from Microsoft and Sony won’t be with us until around 2014. Now CEO of Epic Games, Tim Sweeney, suggests something similar. Of course, in an interview with IGN, he says nothing specific about new consoles. But he does say, when asked about a release timeframe for…
That’s not really Minecraft creator Markus “Notch” Persson, of course. It’s just some guy. But still. Chuckle.

From the first time I saw Heavenly Sword concept art in an old copy of Edge, right through to their work today, I’ve been a big, big fan of the art team over at Ninja Theory. So it’s a pleasure today to present the work of the studio’s visual art director, Alessandro Taini. Born in…
Chris Myles has designed a range of jewellery based on video game franchises. Don’t think “shiny rings with ‘VIDEO GAMES’ written on the side”. Think “entirely based on the game they’re representing”. There are rings based on Assassin’s Creed, both Ezio’s suit and the mythical “apple”. There are rings based on Portal. There are even…
If you’re planning on playing Battlefield 3 on the PC, you might just want to update your graphics card drivers before you play. Doesn’t matter whether you’ve got Nvidia or AMD, they’re both getting updates just for the year’s biggest PC shooter. Nvidia’s beta drivers, minted for the Battlefield 3 beta kicking off this week,…
Deus Ex: Human Revolution was a masterpiece which was only sullied by a number of poorly-designed, ill-fitting boss battles. The bad news is that the game’s upcoming DLC will also include a boss battle. The good news? Deus Ex developers Eidos Montreal will actually be developing them. A big problem with those found in the…
If you play Uncharted multiplayer at al, you’ll probably have heard at some stage Drake utter the strange line “Kitty got wet”. Ever wonder where it came from? Watch this video, which is actually from Comic-Con 2009, but as with many things buried in these kinds of panels contained something awesome that’s only being noticed…
Aliens Infestation, for the Nintendo DS, was already looking like one of the last interesting games for the handheld, since it brings back fond memories of Konami’s excellent side-scrolling Aliens arcade game of 1990. Now, though, after seeing this mini-game, it may be one of the last must-have games for the DS. Infestation ships with…
What a coincidence. No sooner does Crecente spend the weekend playing tabletop games than I go and do something similar. Only instead of fighting a messy, dirty ground war, I took to the skies with Fantasy Flight Games’ Wings of War Why? Well, I had a taste for biplane combat, and since nobody has made…
While the next game in the Elder Scrolls series won’t be out until November, you can start preparing for your adventures now with this list of the game’s perk trees and specific racial abilities. Collated by fan site theelderscrollsskyrim, it’s not complete, but it’s close enough to get you started. Looks like i’ll be playing…
