Mock Up Frenzy!
Filed under: Arts & Crafts, Latest News, Microsoft, Nintendo, Retro & Arcade, Sony | Comments (0)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!

Daniel Roswell @ 11:12 pmTiger Woods Makes The Jesus Shot!
Filed under: Latest News, Microsoft, Video | Comments (0)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. (Read on …)
Daniel Roswell @ 8:25 pmNew Resident Evil 5 Trailer

Daniel Roswell @ 1:19 amMaster Chief Disguised As Samus Aran
Filed under: Arts & Crafts, Latest News, Merchandise, Microsoft, Nintendo | Comments (1)
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.

Filed under: Latest News, Microsoft, Retro & Arcade, Sony | Comments (0)We all knew Akuma would be in SF IV, there was just so little information or images. Fortunately they’ve supplied some images, but they are still being cryptic with any details. So just enjoy the pictures. (Read on …)

Mike Ballan @ 2:41 pmThe Art Of Braid
Filed under: Latest News, Microsoft, Xbox Live | Comments (0)From the sounds of the sales data and high reviews for Braid, a lot of people are playing it and more importantly a lot of people love it too.
And who can blame them, I myself am part of the masses that have been playing Braid over the past week and I think it’s safe to say that along with Portal, Braid has helped push not just gaming, but playing closer to becoming art.
Both games represent amazing uniqueness, visual flare and while soft on the edges contain a fiendishly hard centre. While Portal relies on the Portal gun to make the straight forward seem impossible and vice versa, Braid uses time to create a similar puzzling environment. Where Braid is different though is with the living canvas that the games’ the world has been set in.
Artist David Hellman, who collaborated with Jonathan Blow to create Braid’s visual style, has explained the processes involved in going from the rough blocks of Blow’s unfinished game to the finished product we see today. Communicating by email both David and Jonathon go back forth throwing conceptual work across cyberspace and slowly the final look was created.
If you’d like to know in greater detail how Braid came to look how it looks read David’s own words at Gamasutra

Daniel Roswell @ 5:03 pmFracture
Filed under: Microsoft, Video | Comments (0)I’ve seen acrobatics in Halo before but I’ve never seem anything quite like this.
Created by Foo Foo and staring a collection of free running Halo 3 players, this video shows us that if you have the mind to do it, then nowhere is out of bounds. With the help of a few well placed granades and the rocket launcher, sees these players not only reach new heights, but seemingly walk on walls too (watch out for that near the end).
Daniel Roswell @ 10:36 pmMega Man 9 Soundtrack
Filed under: Latest News, Merchandise, Microsoft, Nintendo, Playstation Network, Retro & Arcade, Sony, Video, Virtual Console, Xbox Live | Comments (0)Fortunately for us gamers Capcom understands that there is a market for game music (or a least they understand there’s money to be made from it). So it comes as relatively no surprise to find out that the yet unreleased Mega Man 9 is getting the soundtrack treatment. (Read on …)

Mike Ballan @ 8:55 amFirst 4 Figures Sonic and Ryu
Filed under: Arts & Crafts, Latest News, Merchandise, Microsoft, Sega | Comments (0)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!
Space Chimps
Filed under: Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony | Comments (1)I saw the trailer for Space Chimps a while back and I must admit it looked generally appealing, not sure what it was, maybe the space setting or mickey take “right Stuff” theme, or maybe it was just the monkeys (chimps) either way I’m tempted to see it. The game is out tomorrow and if you want to follow the adventures of Ham, Titan and Luna after seeing the film you might want to take a look at the following. (Read on …)

Daniel Roswell @ 8:03 pmHalo Corpse Alphabet Completed!
Filed under: Arts & Crafts, Latest News, Microsoft | Comments (0)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!

Cagney Update Stalled (For Xbox, Again…)
Filed under: Microsoft, Xbox Live | Comments (0)
Couldn’t resist with that title!, and no, not quite top of the world either (famous Cagney quote from White Heat used by Criterion).
Still we can’t complain too much since it is free and criterion are very kindly adding a whole host of new content, like new online game modes (Marked Man, Stunt Run and Road Rage), the Live Page and Calendar, our new cars, liveries and 70 Challenges.
A provisional date of August the 4th and hopefully Criterion can iron out all the kinks in time!
