I can’t think of many/any places where this kind of concealed weapon would be legal, but I can think of one place we can admire its craftsmanship: here. YouTube user ammnra is the man behind it, wisely keeping the footage restricted to him testing the blade in his bathroom, and not running around on rooftops…
Master toysmith Jin Saotome is back, and this time he’s making the Mushroom Kingdom a little more badass with this heavily-armed interpretation of the cute little Shy Guy Normally short and portly, this custom action figure is lean and packing a minigun, scythe, hammer and…scissors. His body was cannibalised from existing action figures based on…
Age of Empires Online, currently in closed beta, will this weekend throw open its doors and let any old person who downloads the game client in. I’ve been playing for a few weeks and…it’s not bad, not bad at all, so you could do worse things. [Age Of Empires]
It was just this morning we were taking a good, long look at using three monitors for your PC gaming. And now, whaddya know, we have footage of Deus Ex running across three monitors! There are some at the pointier edge of the glorious PC master race who will no doubt endorse this kind of…

Team Fortress 2 now has its own replay system, letting every user of the game (at least on PC and Mac) save and view footage from the match they just completed. If you’re playing on a server that has the option enabled, every second of a round will be recorded for posterity. Users can then…
We don’t often associate Disney with video games – not outside of its current push as a publisher, anyway – but in the late 1970’s, turmoil at the famous animation studio inadvertently led to the creation of two arcade classics. Don Bluth was an animator at Disney in the 60’s and 70’s, who worked on…

Reader Sean is moving into “an industrial-style condo” in the coming weeks, and felt like tailoring his home decor to match. So he’s built himself a Portal 2-themed end table Cave Johnson himself would be happy to hurl lemons at. Built from plywood with a masonite trim, the box is both a table and a…
It’s not the same car used in the classic 2006 commercials – that’s a Smart Car – but this Toyota Scion would still be a sweet ride for any cashed-up Wii fans out there. Built originally for a competition, the car includes five monitors, two DVD players and a Wii. The console branding all over…
One of the unsung heroes of Portal 2 is the “Animal King”. See here for reference. Here, artist Burton Durand gives us a look at the regal turret’s beginnings. Birth of the Animal King by Burton Durand
Rock of Ages, from Zeno Clash developers ACE Team, is a strange one. It’s like Monty Python played a game of Odama. Which is in no way a bad thing. It’s a game where you guide a giant ball as you smash stuff across levels based on classical art styles, and will be out on…
Koreans are notorious for their passion for StarCraft. Thing is, passion alone can’t account for these StarCraft II models. There’s genius at work here, because believe it or not, these models are made out of paper A guy going by the name Constable makes these and posts them on his blog, sometimes with wireframes and…
There’s a new Thor movie. It’s not bad! And neither is this promotional flash game, featuring old-school 2D platforming and some adorable sprite art. A separate being from the “proper” games based on the new flick, this is a promo game, and being a flash title playable in your browser, it’s free! It’s even got…
The key to Rock Band’s lasting appeal hasn’t been the core games. It’s been the ton of downloadable content released for the titles, which just hit a significant sales milestone. Harmonix’s Chris Rigopulos says that, having recently passed a “significant milestone”, over 100 million Rock Band songs have been downloaded from the game’s online marketplace.…
If you bought the fancy edition of Dead Space 2, you would have got yourself a little replica plasma cutter, one of the game’s more memorable weapons. As is, it’s useless, but this guy will show you how to turn it into a laser gun. That can set stuff on fire. You can see the…
If you picked up the latest issue of Game Informer, you will have seen these Mass Effect 3 images, albeit at a smaller size. If you haven’t, well, enjoy them as nature intended, on the internet! It’s a little strange that, for a game that’s all about saving humanity and Earth from an alien invasion,…
May 4 is Star Wars Day, in honour of, well, the fact “May the 4th” sounds a bit like “May the force…”. Silly, I know, but it also gives us a chance to look back on the amazing video games the sci-fi franchise has given us over the years. And by years, I should really…
To catch those responsible for the attacks on the PlayStation Network, which has brought the service down for over a week and exposed the private details of millions, Sony has hired not one but two teams of private investigators. And a third team of consultants, just for good measure. The first team is from Data…
