The kids at Hit Box got in touch over the weekend to show us this video of their custom fight stick in action. And as someone who sucks at fighting games, I am interested. The hit box replaces the traditional layout of stick on the left, buttons on the right with an all-button configuration. How…
So, there’s a new Syndicate game. Still not quite sure what to think about that. Anyway, here are the first official screenshots from the title. EA just sent through a press release confirming the game’s existence, as well as all the information contained in the leaked info we posted over the weekend Tiny versions of…
Artist Ty Lettau combines two (well, four) of my favourite things in these pieces: classic Nintendo characters and plastic model kits. They’re pretty unique as far as the crowded “pixellated tribute art” dealio goes, but damned if they don’t now make me actually want some kind of “create-a-Nintendo-game” kit from Revell to show up. soundofdesign’s…
There’s a new Neon Genesis Evangelion game coming out soon on the PSP. It’s a music game. Which at the time of its announcement both sounded and looked, well, a little stupid Now that this clip shows off a ton of Rebuild of Evangelion: Sound Impact’s gameplay footage, though, maybe that was a little harsh.…
Up on stage at the Citi 2011 Technology Conference last week, Activision Blizzard COO Thomas Tippl told attendees that over the next three years there should be six “proven property” releases from Blizzard. That doesn’t mean six games. It just means six releases, as five of them are going to be expansions: two more add-ons…
Fans of classic rock and fantasy art will no doubt be familiar with the name Roger Dean. The British artist is as synonymous with 1970’s prog rock (especially the band Yes) as epic guitar tracks, and his bold, unique art style means you’ve probably seen and remembered his work, even if you’ve never remembered his…
You may know artist Jason Chan as the chap who helped design us a lovely t-shirt. Or who drew rad pictures of kids fighting zombies You should know him, though, as a video game concept artist who’s worked on games like BioShock 2, Dead Space 2, and Dragon Age: Origins Chan works at Massive Black,…
The White version of the PlayStation 3, long available in Japan but not in the West, will in November go on sale in Europe and Australia. It’ll include a 320GB HDD, two controllers and will sell for €300/AUD$448/£250.
Lots of video games claim to be scary. Amnesia, Dead Space, you name it, if it’s dark and things jump out of closets at you, it’s “scary”. Don’t let video game developers tell you what’s scary. Let science User experience studio Vertical Slice has conducted research into scary games, using a 500-person psychological database, six…
Since French site 01Net has proven itself somewhat reliable when it comes to Nintendo leaks of late, it’s worth going back and looking at some of its other reports on the company’s happenings over the past month. Like this one, that the Kyoto-based company is having problems getting the Wii U up and running. Big…
Impressive Grand Theft Auto IV mods are nothing new, but this one—which turns the fictional Liberty City into a very real, very beautiful New York City—is really impressive. OK, so here’s what it does: First up, it replaces advertising and store signs with ones you’d actually find in the Big Apple. But it also greatly…
A video popped up overnight showing a disembodied hand feeling stuff in the middle of a forest. It’s a little creepy. But a little less so when you consider it might just be a strange new project for the PlayStation Move motion controller. The video is labelled “Odd Forest”, and there’s speculation it’s from Plastic,…
While all the initial buzz around Nintendo’s new “Slide Pad” peripheral was with Capcom, they’re not the only third-party publisher with access to it. Seems Konami have at least one in the house as well. Speaking on the latest Kojima Productions podcast, members of the Metal Gear team went on record with their thoughts on…
Sounds like an email spam subject line, I know, but it’s actually a claim made by Atari founder Nolan Bushnell. Speaking at the Cloud Gaming Conference USA, Bushnell—who also founded Chuck. E Cheese’s—said he’s been working for the past decade on a computer education project that takes place in the “cloud”, and that during a…
“One Woman Will See Untold Horrors”? This woman can’t see anything past that haircut. Also, there appears to be a giant piece of her wetsuit missing. Right where her tits are. Convenient That kind of attitude is probably what gets her stuck in those hallways full of zombies in the first place. Someone who can…
Yes, but can your console run Crysis? There’s been talk of this happening for years (no surprise, given the fact the game is four years old!), but it’s finally happening: PC benchmark Crysis is coming to the PS3 and Xbox 360. It’ll be out next month (talk about short notice!), and has a few new…
We know there’s going to be a revised edition of the 3DS somewhere down the line. It’s a Nintendo handheld, that’s company policy. Only question is how soon will we get it, and what will it look like? The when may be a lot sooner than either we or Nintendo were expecting. And the recent…
Perhaps seeking to amend some past errors as far as supporting their PC userbase is concerned, Modern Warfare developers Infinity Ward have revealed that the third game in the series will feature something many contemporary games feel they can do without: LAN support. While many other big multiplayer PC games (and former LAN heroes) like…
Most of the time on Fine Art I look at new stuff, or at least somewhat contemporary art. Sometimes, though, I like to look a little further back. Today is one of those days, and it’s a real treat. Today we look at the art of Jeffrey Moy, who among other things did concept art…
Poland Comes First, a political party in [GUESS] has made an advertisement that you may recognise. Especially if you like Fallout The clip, above, doesn’t just take cues from Fallout intro, it takes cues, stuffs them in its pockets then moves onto stealing whatever is left after the cues. Effective at getting the gamer vote,…
