Mock Up Frenzy!

The Pixelation forum have challenges on a regular basis where by the forum members can enter works of art specific the the requirements of each challenge. This time around the criteria was to de-make a modern game to within the limitations of the graphical power of the humble Game Boy. The results speak for themselves, with all manner of games de-made including The Legend of Zelda The Twilight Princess (above), to Bioshock, Yoshi’s Story, Burnout and Boktai (shown below) all getting me excited for games that do and will never exist!

Master Chief Disguised As Samus Aran

So would you call him Master Aran (sounds vaguely “Mysterious Kung Fu Master” to me) or Samus Chief? Or could this be the Bounty Hunter herself?

This custom paint job for the Master Chief was born out of the result of speculation about how closely the Master Chief looks to Samus Aran. The figure was made using the Body and the arms of the EOD variant armour and the C.Q.B variant helmet, it was then painted to match Samus’ Varia suit.

Created by eBay user deathwind000, who promises the paint won’t rub or chip off, it can be yours for a very reasonable starting bid of $1 and shipping for $7.

Resurrecting Tennis for Two

You haven’t played it old school until you’ve played it on an oscilloscope!

Most poeple when asked about the early computer games, myself included, would have probablly mentioned Pong as the game that started it all. And they would be on the right track. Although fourteen years before pong there was Tennis for two, a side on view of a tennis court using an oscilloscope screen. (Read on …)

Brick Out!

Seeing the interest in Lego Halo I went on the hunt for more Game related Lego and came across a very clever person over at Brickshelf.com called Havoc who has created the 1995 game Brick Out (yes its Wipe out really). (Read on …)

Snake Played On Dorm Windows

I’m sure must of you will be familiar of the Snake game. The title that ship as standard with mobile phones before the age of colour screens (talk about show my age!). Snake has made the jump from little mobile screen to giant immobile screen.

This might remind you of the also awesome Tetris game recreated in dorm windows, which while similar, was created by an entirely different group of students. A group of Russian students to be exact and you can check out their work here House Tetris. This new work, however, was cleverly put togehter by Polish students and you check out more of their work at their youtube page.

Soul Calibur IV Character Creator

Now the video above just goes to show you that there are some people with far too much time on their hands, but how could I be so mean to someone that has created B. Orchid from Killer Instinct using only the Soul Calibur IV Character Creator!

Just count how many different character’s have been made I mean there are fighters from Mortal Kombat, Killer Instinct, Super Smash Bros Brawl, X-Men, and of course Street Fighter.

All that i have left to say is please make more and “Combo Breaker!!!“

360 controller inside a PS3 Dual Shock?

Ohh how I love Ben Heck’s forums, this is a special place where all modders can share with each other what they have done and one of the most recent mods is this: “Xbox 360 wired controller inside the shell of a PS3 Dual Shock shell” (Read on …)

First 4 Figures Sonic and Ryu

First 4 figures have managed to secure the rights produce not only Ryu Hayabusa statue, but also Sonic the Hedgehog statues too.

Ryu’s statue is based on the recently released Ninja Gaiden II for the XBOX 360, He comes equipped with his signature Dragon Sword, Eclipse Scythe, and a Falcon’s Talon. At 1/4 scale, Ryu stands at 18 inches tall and when you include his Eclipse Scythe, he stands at 31 inches tall. If you want to get hold of one of these you are going to need $349.99 and a little bit of luck too, because there will only be a Limited 1,999 pieces worldwide
Available. Get on over to First4Figures to pre-order one.

Since Sonic’s image hasn’t changed a lot over the years Sonic so will look exactly as you’d expect him to, at 12 inches tall Sonic will be a little cheaper than Ryu at only $99.99 and will be available in September. How many being made hasn’t been made clear so if you do want one you better pre-order now!

Wii-controlled Canoe

Something to get us all in that Friday feeling, Tim Hirzel has created a Wii nun-chuck controlled boat for those extra lazy days on the river. What he has done is combine the Wii nun-chuck with an Arduino,  an Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software.

And I have to say he looks much better than the life sized one that has been made by someone called: standard_issue’s, This thing would keep me up all night if in the same room as me!!! (Read on …)

Halo Corpse Alphabet Completed!

The Halo corpse alphabet has finally finished, and it only took a month killing to do!

Created by the guys at I <3 Halo 3 Screenshots, the images are made up of either a Spartan or an Elite killed during battle. One of the I <3 Halo 3 Screenshots members known as AusQB has even painstakingly removed all traces of the background image to create a macabre font.

Currently only A-Z is available in font format, but rest assured AusQB is working away at completing the numbers and punctuation marks too.

The Halo Corpse Alphabet is a rather macabre project with the goal being to represent every letter of the alphabet by the twisted, curved, stretched, and otherwise dead Spartan and Elite bodies from Halo 3. The Halo community was clearly up for the challenge as they miraculously managed to capture every single letter, number, and even some punctuation in the form of screenshots. Have fun viewing the Halo Corpse Alphabet, then try your hand at writing with it by utilizing the font included at the end. Enjoy!

Link Amigurumi

I know this is impossibly cute , but first off, I had no idea what Amigurumi meant so I had to “Wiki it” to find out. The best way to describe it is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures.

Possibly because it is Link I think this is the best Amigurumi (check me out and my new vocabulary!) i’ve ever seen. The level of detail is almost unbelievable, even down to his Master Sword, Hylian Shield, Lon Lon Milk and Ocarina, which have also been pain stakenly recreated in miniture form.

The artist artoo1121 has recreated a whole bevy of Star Wars and Lord of the Ring characters to this cute Amigurumi style, which can all be viewed on his Flikr page. Also if you would like to purchace any of his work you can do so via his Etsy page, called Geek Central Station.

Planet Halo

This is what Halo 3’s Last Resort would look like if turned into a planet, or Planetoid as the series of images for the Halo maps are being called.

As pointed out on tiedtheleader if you spend long enough in these virtual worlds they do become as if real themselves. Which is very similar to my own thoughts on the images, that is they are already worlds, we simply visit. If you think about it, it’s  what as gamers we’ve been trained to think. World 1-1, anyone?

I don’t know what the reasoning behind the images is, but like any good work it’s already got people debating.

If you’re thinking this would make a sweet desktop, then you’re in luck because the artist Tim Crowson has posted multiple sizes on his blog, from really small to OMG! that’s huge!

Andrew Bell’s Nurikabe

Does this guy look familiar?

Well it should as this guy is called Nurikabe other than being the inspiration for Super Mario’s Whomp. It’s also from Japanese folklore and below is the entry from Wikipedia:

Nurikabe is a yokai, or spirit, from Japanese folklore. It manifests as a wall that impedes or misdirects walking travelers at night. Trying to go around is futile as it extends itself forever. Knocking on the lower part of the wall makes it disappear.”

Looking on Neatorama.com I saw the above Nurikabe by Andrew Bell and all I want now is my very own Nurikabe to sit on my desk! You can get yourself a cool painting or print over at I Heart Cool Stuff.

Would the real Niko Bellic please stand up!

Remember the real face of Mario, well Pixeloo have been at it again and this time it’s Niko from GTA IV’s turn and it does look sweet, I mean I can totaly imagine bumping into him in a dark alley!

Keep up the good work Pixeloo!
