Video of the day: Street Fighter Online mouse control
Here’s a bizarre idea. Let’s make an online version of Street Fighter that is played via mouse control. Who’s the target audience? Who knows! Seriously, there was a time when maybe people would casually play Street Fighter in a bar or bowling alley, but the only people playing it anymore are diehard fighting fans. The game simply left everyone else behind. Maybe that’s the rationale behind this simplified control scheme, but really it looks more daunting than casual.

Video of the day: First Heavy Rain game footage
about 2 years ago - View Comments
Actually, we can’t be sure how much of this is in game or not, but it certainly is showing off more than the infamous crying trailer. You get a couple of quick glimpses of one level (a neighborhood in the rain, who’d have guessed?) and some shots of the team modeling characters. And yes, it’s
Video of the day: old school Paper Mario
about 2 years ago - Comments Off
Ever wondered what some folks did before video games? Before they had a DS or a Wii to draw all those pretty graphics for them? Well, they drew their own. It seems some folks simply can’t give up that old lifestyle, though, as they’ve taken to creating their own hand drawn video games. In this
Video of the day: Ninja Gaiden anime remake
about 2 years ago - View Comments
It may not sound like it at first, but Ninja Gaiden for the NES is the perfect title to get an anime redo. The game was one of the first to really use cut-scenes to tell a story within what was otherwise a general action platformer. This update is certainly stylish and adds the right
Video of the day: Return to Dark Castle trailer

You may not remember Dark Castle, but it already spawned one classic sequel. Think of it as a medieval Prince of Persia, but in black and white and for the Mac. The update is nothing graphically to crow about, but then again it isn’t trying to be. It’s classic 2D gaming celebrating its 2Dness. As
Video of the day: Valkyria Chronicles trailer is poetry in motion
about 2 years ago - Comments Off
There aren’t many games that can wow you simply by seeing them play, and having little to do with the sharpness of their graphics. Valkyria Chronicles, much like Okami before it, is simply poetry in motion. It’s a game that’s just beautiful to watch, regardless of how it plays. Now, let’s hope the gaemplay is
Video of the day: DS and iPhone make sweet music together
about 2 years ago - Comments Off
Who says the DS and iPhone have to be mortal enemies? Perhaps, the beauty of music can bring these two touch friendly devices together? That’s just what three enterprising individuals have tried with their video “iBand.” Two iPhones and one DS playing Electroplankton team up for a nice little tune together. One has to wonder
Should life be more like video games?

Should life be more like video games? Is such a proposition even possible? Jane McGonigal thinks so. What does she mean? McGonigal believes that games are simply more rewarding than real life and that people would respond better to a real world with game-like attributes. But just who is Jane McGonigal and why should anyone
Mexican game market could be worth $1 billion by end of decade
about 2 years ago - Comments Off
Yes, that headline is probably shocking to most. There’s a Mexican gaming market? Most Americans probably don’t think of Mexico much as a place to sell superfluous consumer goods such as video games. Research and Markets, on the other hand, claim it’s the beginning of something big. In their Mexico Video Games Market Report 2007,

This site has featured Zelda landscapes created from Legos in the past. This site has featured CG animated Zelda video adventures in the past. Now, finally, comes the Lego Legend of Zelda adventure video. Yes, this is stop motion. Yes, this is crudely done. And yes, it is pretty cool despite its flaws. One question
Video of the day: Perfect Dark Source for PC
about 2 years ago - View Comments
Yes, it’s another one of those fun and very impressive game remakes using the Source engine. This time it’s the N64 classic Perfect Dark. Now, for the younger gamers out there, please don’t confuse the original Perfect Dark with its sickly sequel Perfect Dark Zero. The original was the spiritual sequel to GoldenEye 007 and
