The Humble Indie Bundle is a project aimed at not only selling a ton of quality indie PC games, but raising money for charity as well. And it’s doing a very good job. Wolfire Games’ John Graham and Jeffrey Rosen (two of the organisers of the bundle) revealed today that the two bundles have so…
Right now, there are over five million kids from all corners of the globe taking part in an online game. One you may have never even heard of. It’s got nothing to do with farms or penguins. Instead, it’s all about…mathematics. Today is World Maths Day, and the cornerstone of the celebration is a competition…
Fans of Mango Sentinels and Curly Moustaches, you can now wear your allegiance proudly on your chest. Don’t know what I’m talking about? This will help These two shirts, from BROKENTIER, are part of a collaboration honouring IFC Yipes, one of the fighting game scene’s most prominent characters, who is not only a handy gamer…
The Legend Of Zelda takes place in a fantasy kingdom, and no fantasy kingdom would be complete without an exquisite, elaborate map to chart its regions. Bill Mudron has put together this beautiful map that combines the land of Hyrule as depicted in both the first (bottom map) and second (top map) Zelda games for…
Last year, Panasonic surprised the world with the unveiling of a rather unique gaming handheld. Which was one way of putting it. You could also say it looked a little stupid. Something Panasonic now agrees with. The “Jungle”, as it was known, was planned to be a small handheld computer that ran on Linux, allowing…
Atlus’ sexy adventure/puzzle game Catherine is getting a North American release on 360 and PS3. It’s due this Summer.
Having failed to work out a last-minute deal with its landlord, the historic Chinatown Fair arcade in New York City closed its doors on Sunday night. Here are some images of its last hours. It’s unclear whether the business will be moving, as we were told was an option last week, or is simply shutting…
If I say the words “casual game”, you probably think of something that’s on Facebook. With graphics drawn by, and targeted towards, twelve year-olds. You certainly don’t imagine them looking like this This is “A Familiar World”, the first title from developers Inemeri, which is looking to bridge a little of the gap between the…
If you can’t find something to like in this video, there amy be something wrong with you. To recap: this is a man sitting near the steps of a New York City subway station. He is wearing a Boba Fett helmet. And, upon his accordion, he is playing a rendition of the “Lost Woods” theme…
A lot of people remember now-defunct magazine Computer Gaming World for the fact it was one of the world’s finest PC gaming rags. Me, I just remember it because of these badass covers. While game magazines today rely on images supplied by a publisher, or sleek, stylistic pieces drawn up by an internal art team,…
Last time I let a baby try and write a witty opening to a night note. The Nintendo 3DS Is Stylish, Grown-Up And Flawed. Following up the most successful game handheld in history is no easy task. That’s exactly what Nintendo is doing starting today. The future begins now. This Killzone “Movie” Is Short, Sweet…
Japanese publishing giant (and sales trackers) Enterbrain have published some preliminary sales figures for the launch of the Nintendo 3DS over the weekend, outlining how many of the handhelds were sold, and what the most popular game was. While there were early reports that 400,000 units had been sold, Enterbrain’s figures (which may change slightly…
Swedish artist junkboy, who we saw turning new games into old ones and is now on the development team at Minecraft developers Mojang, hasn’t let his new job interfere with the old one. He’s released two more great images “demaking” current games, one showing Super Mario Galaxy 2 as a SNES/GBA game, the other depicting…
Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. media empire has bought into the gaming business, purchasing not a global powerhouse, but…a tiny social games developer called Making Fun.
Amidst all that Street Fighting, Cammy and Chun-Li find time to share a moment. By fatheed
The new Nintendo 3DS is able to produce a 3D image without the need for glasses. How can it do this? By using a “parallax barrier”. Here’s what one looks like up close. A parallax barrier is basically a “screen” on top of a regular screen, which has tiny little blocks in it that allow…
Earlier this month, a second series of “Limmy’s Show” kicked off on BBC Scotland (and Sky 990 if elsewhere in the UK). How is this relevant to you? Because the first season contained the future of role-playing games. That future is Adventure Call. As video games begin to forsake the need for controllers, it’s not…
This isn’t the first time Sony advertising has appeared in a football game on a Nintendo or Microsoft platform. It happens all the time. But there’s something delightfully poignant about this particular case. Pro Evolution Soccer 3D, freshly-released for the freshly-released Nintendo 3DS, has – like its console siblings – the full suite of actual…
Remember Gemini Rue, that indie, old-school-flavoured adventure game we showed you a few months back? It’s out, and well worth your $15
This short fan film, by YouTube user pwnisher, isn’t a piece of sponsored Killzone 3 marketing. But it’s so impressive it could easily pass as one. Indeed, by cutting out the clichéd bravado and excessive vulgarities that so dogs Killzone’s narrative, this is in many ways superior to the action found in Guerilla’s sci-fi shooter…
