Last night we told you that the Max Factory figma Link and figma Samus figures are getting reprinted. The good news keeps on rolling on through as the Zero Suit Samus figure based on Metroid: Other M is also coming back! The ... more
"Remember me?" It's our old friends: Max Factory's figma Link and figma Samus! These sexy poseable figurines were all the rage when they released last year, and they quickly sold out. If you missed that window, it was off to ... more
A week doesn't go by without Nintendo announcing about a dozen new colors and designs for the 3DS in Japan. Meanwhile, Americans and Europeans get fed scraps once every blue moon. We may be getting the Animal Crossing XL, but... more
Rockman-Unity in Japan recently revealed that X's Ultimate Armor form would be the newest star in Bandai's D-Arts Mega Man toy line. We now have pictures of the figure in the flesh -- so to speak -- and my goodness, does it l... more
It's almost here! Before the non-videogame videogame crossover event of the century begins in a few short days (weeks if you aren't an Archie subscriber), you can bring yourself up to speed with a sneak preview over on online... more
There were some interesting tidbits revealed about the design of Destiny. Presented by studio writer and design director Joe Staten and art director Christopher Barrett, they went into detail about the early conception of De... more
Running through the list of bullet points for Chasm, it's hard not to freak out. A 2D action-RPG platformer that's set up like a Metroidvania with procedural dungeons and loot drops is too much to take in all at once. Then y... more
That Link figma by Max Factory which went on sale last year? It is now garbage. Find the closest waste receptacle and chuck that sh*t in there with extreme prejudice. That Link on Epona statue by First 4 Figures? It doesn't e... more
Why didn't anybody tell me this book came out last month!? I've been waiting for this baby a whole year! Where's my wallet!? Let me step back a bit: 31 Days of Zero Suit Samus is a collection of miniature comics depicting wha... more
HNNNNNG! My heart can't take much more of this! I think I'm going to slip into a coma before the Archie Sonic / Mega Man crossover even begins. But I've got to hold on! Just one month left! To bring everyone up to speed, the ... more
I frequently think about game items and how they could have feasible real-world applications. For example, a scale model of Eddie from the Mega Man series would make a great novelty cooler, which would sync up perfectly with ... more
Like that D-Arts Bass action figure I talked about the other week? Pretty sexy, ain't it? And remember how I said it was highly likely that Bandai would try to bring it to US retail? Distributor Bluefin has got your back! Not... more
Between the four-person multiplayer, seven new levels, and inclusion of Pale Wing, I am so ready to play through Earth Defense Force 2017 again on the PlayStation Vita. Mentally, that is -- I still don't have a Vita to play i... more
At the recent Tamashii Nations exhibition in Japan, Bandai has been showing off a ton of sweet new game-themed figurines as part of its D-Arts and Figuarts ZERO lines. We start with some Guilty Gear action in the form of D-Ar... more
Etsy user Jake Vadnais is a leather maker who specializes in geek-themed wallets and keychains. His wares are sold as quickly as they appear, so you won't find anything on his shop page currently. However, you can see some of... more
We knew that Wing Commander creator Chris Roberts was getting back into game development, although the specifics weren't so clear until now. At GDC Online today in Austin, he revealed what the project is all about in less con... more
Slender is one of the scariest experiences I've ever had. Mastering the art of simplicity and exploiting it to create a true sense of paranoia and fear, the indie game based on the Slender Man mythos is impossible to forget. ... more
I'm still reeling from this morning's Mega Man shenanigans. I can at least take comfort in knowing that some companies still give a damn about the little blue dude. Like Archie Comics, for example... As you are already aware ... more
[Update: The book is also coming to Australia, UK, and other parts of Europe.] Hyrule Historia is basically the Holy Bible of the Zelda universe. Not only is it jam-packed with concept art and never-before-heard secrets, it a... more
There's a lot to see and do here on the San Diego Comic-Con show floor, but nestled away in a tiny booth in the middle of the massive convention center was Meat Bun's booth with several interesting shirt designs on display. I... more
I was a Sega child, so I was always in the "Sonic > Mario" camp. I've also been a Mega Man diehard (big surprise, right?) since his very first game. So while schoolyard kiddies spoke passionately of the rivalry between Mar... more
Many horror games have played with the idea of a helpless protagonist, heightening the tension for a player by reducing their combat abilities and forcing them to survive, rather than fight. Krillbite's Among the Sleep takes... more
I need to pay closer attention to my email inbox! I almost completely missed these amazing, amazing, amazing works of art! Over the last few years, LEGO sculptor Mike "retinence" Nieves has been constructing facsimiles of var... more
Transformers: Fall of Cybertron will feature a reimagining of the Combaticons and their combined alter-ego, Bruticus. Naturally, Hasbro is at the ready with a pocketful of plastic, and plans to release five new figures that c... more
Bandai is alright by me. For some time now, the company has been been making high-quality Mega Man X action figures as part of its D-Arts line. So far, there have been about five bajillion versions of X alone (regular, armore... more
Who doesn't love physical game maps? Anybody own a cloth map? Those were the days. Now, instead of a cloth map, how about a 3D recreation with several monsters figurines roaming the land? Sound good? Sometime in March, Square... more
No, this is not related to Transformers in any way. It's called Legend of Grimrock, and it's a grid-based, first-person, tactical roleplaying game from Almost Human. The game was originally slated for the end of the year, bu... more
Back in July, Viz Media promised to localize Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva for American shores. Well by golly, it kept its word! The company just sent out a press release to announce that the Layton movie will arrive ... more
2011 is the 15th anniversary of Resident Evil. A few months back, Capcom announced a massive anniversary box of all the main games apart from 5, which includes HD remakes of Resident Evil 4 and Code Veronica, and now they're ... more
Here's the post you've been waiting for, a delicious gallery revealing every available race and two genders for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Whether you're an Orc fan, an Argonian lover, or a humdrum Human, you'll get a lovel... more
I am at once giddily excited for and terrified about Dark Souls. I cannot wait to get into a another beautifully bleak world and have the limits of my patience strained. However, I also know this game will overtake my life an... more
Killing abnormally large rats is the bread-and-butter or easy RPG tutorials. Not so with Dark Souls, the spiritual follow-up to From Software's Demon's Souls, slated for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Those rats are f*cking... more
Team ICO fans have had so much to rejoice in the last 24 hours, it's hard not to still feel giddy. After all, the HD re-release of Shadow of the Colossus and Ico was just about the best news we could imagine. Let's not f... more
We've got a handful of new screenshots (courtesy of the folks at VG247) from Creative Assembly's upcoming Shogun 2: Total War, and all of them show some things in common: cherry blossom trees. Sure, they also have a Japanese ... more
Hey! Remember Catherine, the awesomely sexy new game from Atlus and the people who made Persona? Yeah, that one! With the trailer! Well, Famitsu has new screenshots and details for you to devour with your eyes, which include ... more
It's been a long time coming, but the robot game dry spell that has bedeviled sci-fi fans for the longest time may be coming to an end. Front Mission Evolved, Square Enix's action-oriented, er, evolution of the classic strate... more
These days it's almost standard practice for a Japanese publisher to have all its new game revelations leaked by crummy scans of Glorious Nippon's favorite gaming rag Famitsu. Such was the case with Armored Core 5, whose crum... more
People frequently ask me the question "What's you're favorite line from the game No More Heroes 2?" I usually respond with "Poopie... Now I have the sad face." Then they say, "Don't get all cute with me guy, just tell me the... more
It's been quite a while since there was fresh Intel on that game I've championed for over a year, Edge of Twilight, but Fuzzyeyes has sent us over some fresh screenshots to brighten up this Friday morning. They're a collectio... more
3D Dot Game Heroes is one of the best looking PS3 games I've ever seen. It doesn't have the dirty realism of Killzone 2 or the inspiring scenery of Uncharted, but it does have bold and bright colors, great art direction and a... more
The Last Guardian is, hands-down, my most wanted game. Not my most wanted PS3 game, mind you, but most wanted out of every game that has been announced since E3. Go watch the trailer again, because honestly, it's one of the b... more
CVG have some new (REAL) screens of Sega's tactical xenomorph shooter, Aliens: Colonial Marines. While the first proposed "scans" were most likely fake, these new ones are the real deal and look hotter than the moth... more
Silent Hill V is looking more gorgeously detailed than ever, and we finally have some new screenshots to prove it (not the same old ones that everyone keeps mistaking for new, either!) Of course, your general non-Silent Hill ... more
Whether you actually love Metroid or you just like to fap to Samus, you'll dig these brand-new screenshots from Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. Though, for those severely patience-disabled, it might make it harder to wait th... more
