I understand that role-playing video games owe their existence to role-playing tabletop games, and as a result, share many of their predecessor’s customs and traditions. After all, if tabletop games need to simulate action via numeric values, then it was natural for the first video game RPGs to do the same. But, uh, why are…
Capcom has released three new screenshots overnight, giving us our first look at the upcoming HD re-releases of Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil Code: Veronica for the PS3 and Xbox 360.
Pica Pic is currently hosting a collection of “ports” of classic handheld game units from the 1980s and 1990s. Some were made by Nintendo. Go play now before lawyers get involved.
Darth Revan, the “star” of classic role-playing game Knights of the Old Republic, has been immortalised in polystone. It’d be cooler if it was carbonite, but that stuff doesn’t do fine details as well. Standing 6 1/2-inches tall, this half-bust has the guy masked and holding two lightsabers, the colours of which you can swap…
This is Contra. Just not as you know it. It’s the hardcore 80’s shooter reimagined by William “xiabaosg” Chua, who depicts Bill and Lance as fuedal Japanese warriors. You can see more shots of the piece over on Chua’s Facebook page. Scroll a bit further down and you can see an equally-badass picture of Link…
Tiny Build Games, a small indie team, is working on a platformer called No Time To Explain. And it looks amazing. Using the same gun to both jump and shoot looks neat, sure, but I just like that voice acting. Having an art style that looks like something Dan Paladin (of Alien Hominid and Castle…
After over two years of hard work, Filip Johannes Felberg has completed his masterpiece: a recreation of the entire cast of Pikmin in LEGO form. When we say the entire cast, we mean it: Captain Olimar, every Pikmin, every enemy and even every type of plant found in the game can be found in Felberg’s…
The Glorious PC Master Race believe themselves a superior class of gamer because of stuff like this. And really, when you see it, you can’t blame them. Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood may have been released late on the PC, but there are certain benefits to be had playing it on a personal computer. Like being able…
Tomorrow, Japanese arcade gamers will get the chance to try out Evil Ryu in Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition. He’s like regular Ryu, only because some of his attacks are more powerful, they’re slower.
When el8id games on his PS3, he doesn’t use a regular Bluetooth headset. He uses a military-issue helmet from the 1980s, making him look more like “Maverick” than “some guy playing a video game”. Buying the helmet for $22 from a thrift store, el8id kept some of the original wiring and components inside and replaced…
It’s about time somebody thought of the Pokémons. They’re people too! Well, not people…pocket monsters. But when you cut them, they bleed, and…well, no, they don’t do that either. They just faint a lot. Look, just stop capturing these poor creature and enslaving them, OK? It’s not right.
No, we’re not talking about Sonic The Hedgehog, in which an animal makes out with a human. We’re talking about Night Trap, a Sega CD game released in 1992 that may have been the stormiest tea cup in video game history. Developed by Digital Pictures, a studio that specialised in the full-motion-video-laden games of the…
Overkill is what happens when Duck Hunt meets the cold, fiscal reality of the App Store. It’s a pretty arcade shooter, one that makes as good a use of the iPhone’s touch screen as it can with a “floating gun” control scheme, which uses virtual joystick to aim and has you shaking the phone to…
Looks like somebody was taking notes when Joel used his iPhone as a Nintendo 3DS AR Card, as an application has turned up on the Android marketplace doing just that. 3DS AR Cards is a free app, which gives you digital versions of all the new Nintendo handheld’s augmented reality cards. So rather than carrying…
That Splinter Cell HD collection was supposed to be out this week. It’s not. Instead, it’ll be out on June 21.
Japanese artist Rokujo Ikken has come up with possibly the most perfect Nintendo handheld ever devised: The Nintendo Super Famicom DS. Who needs 3D and microphones when all you’re going to do is play old SNES games, anyway? Via Tiny Cartridge
This is a Tomb Viper, one of the countless hordes of bad guys you’ll fight in upcoming action/RPG Diablo III. He’s not the most important of characters, we know, but that art is so great it had to be shared.
PC gaming site Rock, Paper, Shotgun has kicked off a little campaign called “No Oceans”. It’s aimed at synchronising PC release dates around the world. And I can’t think of a better campaign to get behind. Right now, for example, it’s Wednesday night on march 23 here in Australia. I’ve had a copy of Crysis…
When working with wood for this particular piece, artist Ben Winfield decided against making something clichéd, like a breadboard or a chair. Instead, he made a replica Xbox console. Before you ask, nope, it doesn’t work. Come on, you can’t make consoles out of wood! It does look great though, and when it comes to…
The Nintendo 3DS is not released in the United States until midnight on Saturday. So lining up on the street outside a Manhattan Best Buy seems…smart? No, that’s not the word we’re looking for… Dedicated will have to do. Anyway, this guy started lining up on Monday night, meaning he and his buddy will be…
