A guy named Paul Robertson has put together an absolutely amazing short animation completely in pixel art, in style of old-school NES side scroller games like Double Dragon and Metal Slug, stuffed full of anime style and pop culture references like cameo appearances by Christopher Walken, Walter from the Big Lebowski, and Mario. It’s called […]
I posted a shitty GDC video of the trailer for the sequel to God of War a few weeks back. They finally released the full version to the public, and it’s even better than I thought. As I said before, the first game was one of the best action games I’ve ever played, and this […]
God of War 2 footage from GDC 2006. Outrageously good. I love the first one, but this looks insane. Seems like the best of Prince of Persia meets the best of Shadow of the Colossus.
Sweet sweet classic gaming mashup. Megaman vs. Ghosts ‘n Goblins is fantastic. I played the first board of Ghosts ‘n Goblins with Megaman and kicked ass. I have no idea if you ever get to play Megaman boards with Arthur.

Here is an awesome collection of Katamari Damamcy desktop wallpaper. I think might all be fan art, but I can’t read Japanese. There are some awesome images here.

Ever wonder how good of a racecar driver you are right after you play a good round of Gran Turismo? Ever wonder how realistic the Laguna Seca racetrack is in that game? Well, so did Jeremy Clarkson from the ridiculously great car show Top Gear, that we’ve written about before.
He played the Laguna Seca course […]
I sort of can’t believe I forgot to post this game when I first saw it. You might remember the delightful first edition of this game, Samorost (”self-grower”), that Witold wrote about here back in September of 2003! Samorost 2 is more of what you would have loved from that version. The puzzles are hard […]
I am not sure about the origin of this XBox commercial. It might be spec work, or it might be a foreign commercial. In any case, it’s pretty awesome. Not as good as the banned ad, but excellent in its own right. Enjoy.

Heli Attack is a complicated but really amazing Flash platform game. Sort of stunning that you can do all this, this well, in Flash. Nice work over at miniclips. Excellent pixel art too.

The folks over at Microsoft seem to make a lot of mistakes. The advertising for the XBox has been pretty weak overall, but despite that, they sold over 40,000 XBoxes on eBay alone!
I don’t know which ad agency did this ad that Microsoft apparently rejected, but it is outstanding. I am going to assume […]
Gun Run is a very fun little flash side-scrolling game. I rarely find anything I play more than once, but I have played this thing about 30 times. Enjoy.
