What an age we live in. PlayStation consoles, by the pound. From time to time, Goodwill will clear out excess stock online in bulk, and here are two very big examples of that. First, a “GAYLORD OF VARIOUS PLAYSTATION...

The EU have fined Valve and five publishers a total of €7.8 million (USD$9.5 million) over their practice of “geo-blocking” PC game sales on Steam, which basically means forcing users in a country (say, Germany)...

While the game itself may not have entered full-blown development until 2016, some of the stuff you’ll see in this collection of concept and production art dates as far back as 2013. Below you’ll find a big...

While it was great that PC owners got to play a big Sony exclusive last year, what wasn’t so great about Horizon Zero Dawn’s port was that it ran like shit. Well, five months later things are looking much...

As the great Nute Gunray once said, this is getting out of hand. As more and more people realise the value in old Pokémon cards, more and more people are flocking to opportunities to catch, if not them all, then at...

If you’d asked me between 2015-2020 why I loved The Witcher 3, I’d probably have drawn up a very long list of things. In 2021, though, following the release of both Cyberpunk 2077 and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla,...

Duncan Halleck is a concept artist and illustrator currently working on Utopia Syndrome, an upcoming point-and-click horror/adventure game. You can see more of Duncan’s stuff at his ArtStation...

Look, weren’t we only just warning people last week to be more careful playing this game in these strange and uncertain times? It’s 2021, There’s Still A Pandemic Going On, Be Careful Playing Pokémon...

Look, man, I get the idea here, but I am playing video games to not exercise, not to exercise. But I admire the ingenuity on display, and can fully appreciate that my steadfast determination to die slowly in this husk...

This is a custom Goldeneye map and mod by StupidMarioBros1Fan that turns Peach’s Castle into what is essentially a murderhouse. So much murder. It’s funny, when Mario jumps on these guys to remove them it’s fine,...

News of MF DOOM’s death a couple of weeks ago led to an outpouring of tributes from artists around the world, from movie-makers to his peers and fans in the rap game, but one that caught my eye in particular was this...

Alfonso Maesa is an illustrator and concept artist from the Philippines. The images you’re seeing here have a strong techwear and/or streetwear vibe, imagining characters from stuff like Hades and The Witcher 3 as...

Desolation is a Portal 2 mod (though that descriptor really sells it short) that’s closer to a full-blown, fan-made sequel to Valve’s series. Set in the 1980s, its star — Diana — ”is fitted with Aperture’s...

Pokémon Go made over $US1 ($1) billion last year, which means loads of you are still playing it. Which is great! But hey, just remember, we’re still somehow in the middle of a global pandemic, and so going outside...

Yeah, the Switch originally launched in red + blue, but this new colour scheme for the console is even more red + blue. Announced earlier today and out next month, and part of Nintendo’s 35th birthday celebrations...

Duncan Jones, director of movies like Warcraft and Moon, has spent his lockdown time better than most of us, writing a full-length “fan script” for classic 1995 adventure game Full Throttle. It blew my mind! I...

Return to Castle Monkey Ball is what happens when you take two very different and beloved games and smash them together in a way that on paper sounds terrible, but which in practice is so very very excellent. Made by...

Last week, a website popped up promising to sell brand new PS5 consoles that would be purchased, painted black, then resold for a $US100 ($129) premium. That’s no longer going to happen. SUP3R5 began taking orders...

Oh hey, here’s a giant new Gengar plush, I wonder what happens when you roll its tongue out and oh no. Selling for $US250 ($323), it’s pretty cool as an enormous plush, if collecting those is your thing. This is...
