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!

Red Alert 3 - “Talent” Trailer

To anyone who’s ever played these games, Command & Conquer has always been about the cutscenes. Red Alert, to me at least, was always “C&C without Kane”. Sure, the gameplay tended to be better, but Kane was what really mattered.

This time round it’s different. This time round it’s personal. This time round, Red Alert 3 is “C&C without Kane or Lando Calrissian or that bloke from Starship Troopers/Total Recall”!

Ever since RA3 was announced, the question was always going to be “Can EA outcheese Billy Dee Williams & Michael Ironside arguing about the best way to blow everything up?”

With the new cast announced at the Leipzig Games Convention, EA is certainly giving it its best shot. We’ve got Lisa Hunter from Hollyoaks, John Abruzzi from Prison Break, J. Jonah Jameson from Spiderman, Governor Weatherby from Pirates of the Carribean and the smug, bearded, tubby chap from almost every B film ever made!

Oh, and Sulu seems to have been taking lessons from the Klingons. Right on.

Project RPB has Risen

A couple of years ago, things looked pretty grim for Gothic fans. With the release of a rather buggy Gothic 3, tensions between publisher Jowood & developer Piranha Bytes heightened & the future for the series was uncertain.

Now, with Jowood having announced both Gothic 4 & an expansion pack for Gothic 3 and PB revealing this trailer for Risen (previously Project RPB), things are looking up.

All I can say is that if PB manage to combine the atmosphere and story-telling of their original Gothic with the graphics in their new trailer, then this is one gamer who is going to feel ruddy bloody good!

Space Invaders Pillow

Not content with allowing Nintendo to be the only company to squeeze the life out it’s classics, Tatio is joining in with of all things a set of pillows.

These pillows are part of the 30th Anniversary of Space Invaders and Taito’s been celebrating the historic event with numerous merchandise offers, the latest being these pillows. While these pillows are awesome I can’t help but think they’re lacking a duvet to accompany them, they feel like only half of a product. The cynic in me suspects that will arrive later. (Read on …)

VideoGamesLive comes to town

Of course, VGL tours all over the world, so I ought to point out that the town in question is London. And why does that matter? Two reasons: (a) Tickets only (finally) went on sale last week; and (b) It’s the nearest venue to the Levelselect team’s home town!

The orchestra is appearing at the Royal Festival Hall for one night only - Friday 24th October, as part of the London Games Festival. There are two performances on the day and tickets are available from the VideoGamesLive website. We’ve got ours already, so we’ll see you there!

(Oh, and in case you were wondering, the pic is of last year’s costume competition winner. Don’t you feel thirsty just looking at him?)

Dark Horizon

OK, there are over forty images for this Dark Horizon post, which bears no connection to one of my favourite movie websites. This space combat simulation follows along the same lines of classics like Wing Commander and Freelancer, with special features such as full ship customization, original weapon creation, joystick support, and several modes of combat.

A small back story and some key features are also included, just hit the jump. (Read on …)

Resident Evil 5 Info and Screens

Capcom has released some lovely screen shots and artwork for Resident Evil 5. They’ve even gone as far as to produce a high resolution image of Sheva’s tattoo, which can be viewed below. (Read on …)

Hanabi Festival 3

Wow, is it that time already? These Hanabi Festivals seem to just roll around so quickly (not that i’m complaining).

The hottest news is that Super Mario RPG finally gets it’s PAL release and also Super Mario Bros The Lost Levels becomes a permanent addition to the VC. Hopefully Nintendo will have a few more tasty treats for us over the month long celebration.

The following Hanabi Festival games are available now:
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars – Super Nintendo
Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels – NES

And in the weeks ahead you can look forward to:
BIO MIRACLE BOKUTTE UPA – NES
DIG DUG – NES
DoReMi Fantasy: Milon’s DokiDoki Adventure – Super Nintendo
Spelunker – NES

Target Smash!! and Home-Run Contest World Records

Funnily enough I was talking about Home Run distances the other day, and is it me or does it seem that Masahiro Sakurai just can’t quit the Dojo! My own personal attempts at hitting Mr Sand bag can’t exceed more than the 500 metre mark, but as you will see from the information below there are some truly exceptional distances. (Read on …)

Colour Cross

If picture puzzles are your thing then Colour Cross will be right up your street. Colour Cross is a puzzle game where the goal is to uncover the hidden picture by applying the right colour to the appropriate square. Utilising the familiar paint by numbers mechanic, completing a grid will reveal a portion of a larger hidden image as well as unlocking increasingly difficult challenges. (Read on …)

Tiger Woods Makes The Jesus Shot!

Bugs are an unfortunate and sometimes unavoidable part of gaming. When you actually think about the many thousands of lines of code and the man hours of testing required, it’s fairly reasonable to allow the occasional flaw.  Although in Tiger Woods 08 one incredible glitch that should have been found and removed was the ability to walk on water, shown in the above video.

Noooooooooooooo!!!

Those of you with a sensitive disposition should look away now. For the rest of you sick, depraved individuals, watch as a dear old friend is killed in the most horrible way imaginable.

Heavy Update

The new heavy update is here, along with some concept art for Lumberyard and details of The Sandvich (details of which are in the preceding post), as always the update will take effect as soon as you load Steam and so you can play the new levels now. (Read on …)

Meet The Sandvich Video

One of the Heavy’s unlockable weapons is actually food and is called The Sandvich.

It tastes as good as it looks and heals 120 health. Like in real life, the decision to eat a Sandvich must not be taken lightly; The Heavy is completely vulnerable during the four second eating process, and his loud, happy sounds of vigorous chewing will draw enemies like tiny ant cowards to a picnic. OF DEATH. On the bright side, the Heavy’s Sandvich supply is unlimited, so his only real concern is being caught short while enjoying this delicious edible device. The Sandvich is a great tool for a Heavy defending an area, as it gives him the ability to replenish health between enemy waves without having to abandon his post. Similarly, an offensive Heavy without a Medic can step back from the front line and grab a quick snack before resuming his rampage. Beware, however: the Heavy must set aside his shotgun to take the Sandvich, and enemy Snipers are much more dangerous for a Heavy wielding only a minigun.

New Resident Evil 5 Trailer

An extended version of original trailer, this looks absolutely stunning although not as revolutionary as Resident Evil 4, but still, it promises to continue the high standard set by it’s predecessor.

Arena Mode

Today Valve teases us with the penultimate update on the Heavy update for Team Fortress 2. Called Arena Mode, it is effectively a stripped down variation on your standard control point game, involving just one capture point, shorter rounds and only life per player.

A win is awarded to the team left standing at the end, or to who captures the point as a result the game incredibly quick and can be won or lost depending which classes are in your team, or depending on the tactics chosen. And even though the maps are quite small they can still comfortably support anywhere between three vs three or twelve-on-twelve brawls. (Read on …)

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.
