Oh boy. Last time we saw the fan-made project looking to bring 1992’s classic Genesis title Sonic 2 kicking and screaming into the 21st century was in 2008. Things have improved since then. The game broke cover over the weekend for its full, proper reveal, complete with teaser trailer (below) and promise of an alpha…
The Half-Life series is a fan favourite for a ton of reasons, but the main one is that its universe and story are so strong. Strong enough, even, to be re-told in under seven minutes using…paper. Below is the first Half-Life, re-enacted using little paper men, and told in 2:14. Below that is Half-Life 2,…
A player of the popular MMO Runes of Magic has hacked the game’s databases, made demands of its German operators and is effectively holding the personal details of its users hostage. In a fit of indignant rage, user augustus87 apparently took it upon himself to attack the servers of the game’s Western operator (it was…
There’s more than one way the Nintendo DS’ favorite Professor can solve a puzzle. As seen on Super Punch
Online shooter Blacklight: Tango Down is getting a sequel, and this time it’s free-to-play
Well, this brings a whole new meaning to the term “droppin’ loot”. A World of Warcraft super fan has decked out his bathroom in the colours of the game’s Horde faction, complete with shield, sword, faux stone walls and…a large crow. Who sits, perched above you, while you drop a deuce. There are even some…
All downloadable content for upcoming shooter Homefront will be a timed exclusive for, you guessed it, the Xbox 360.
Last June, the internet was floored by a fan-made concept trailer for a new Mortal Kombat movie. While it sadly didn’t end up as a new film, it has got the creator a crack at a new series. The clip’s director Kevin Tancharoen has been handed the keys by Warner Bros. to a 10-part “webisode”…
Fatshark, the developers behind the promising (and yet ultimately disappointing) Western shooter Lead & Gold, are back with a new title. And it’s got nothing to do with cowboys. Instead, it looks to the great adventurers for inspiration. Which adventurers? Well, with the fedora and jacket, a certain Henry Walton “Indiana” Jones, Jr. comes to…
Just when the memory of how beautiful Half-Life 2 can be begins to fade, Reddit user Enjuaguese reminds us all with these panoramic shots of the game’s City 17. Included in this gallery is the original work, a massive picture spanning the first glimpse the player gets of the city and the looming threat of…
And yes, before you ask, it’s a real game
Gemini Rue, an upcoming indie title for the PC, looks like something we sadly haven’t seen much of lately: a game that combines adventure, science fiction and a little bit of darkness.

An IBM supercomputer codenamed “Watson” just played two of Jeopardy’s greatest human players and emerged the victor. Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter, two former champions of the TV quiz game show, went up against Watson in a practice match yesterday ahead of a live TV special, reports Wired. And while they were good, Watson —…
We’ve seen one way today a video game is trying to tackle the problem of people being jerks on the internet. It’s a little heavy. Here’s one that’s a lot simpler. Upcoming fighting game Marvel vs Capcom 3 tracks instances of “rage-quitting” — when a player drops out of an online match rather than face…
Little Charo is a Japanese cartoon aimed at helping kids learn English. It’s also now a DS game being published by, of all companies, Nintendo. Wouldn’t it be amazing if this was the old handheld’s last big game? It probably won’t be, of course, not with Pokemon just out and the DS’ successor, the 3DS,…
The mighty Norse God Thor will be appearing in upcoming fighting game Marvel vs Capcom 3. You’d think he was there to swing his giant hammer around, but no, it appears he’s just there to chat. Check out his taunts in the clip above. I’ve seen entire fights come to an end faster than his…
As expected, Sega revealed today that a collection of old Dreamcast games will be released for the Xbox 360 and PC. And as you’d expect from such a collection, it’s a little disappointing. The four games included in the pack are Sonic Adventure, Space Channel 5 Part 2, Sega Bass Fishing and Crazy Taxi. In…
