Video of the day: Lego Star Fox
No, this isn’t the video you are hoping it is. Nintendo hasn’t yet given Star Fox the Lego treatment (though just about every other game is getting it). However, this visualization of the original Star Fox game using only Legos is pretty remarkable all the same. Note that the arwing doesn’t move, but the level around it. It’s a nice touch for fans of the classic game series.

Working Donkey Kong game made of Legos
about 2 years ago - View Comments
There’s nothing wrong with obsession, except when it leads to stalking some actress outside of her Beverly Hills mansion every night. Otherwise, though, obsession channeled in the right direction can lead to cool things like a working Lego version of the arcade classic Donkey Kong. Take that Calvin Klein. This monstrosity, built by Dan Kressin,
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
The future of "touch" games
about 2 years ago - Comments Off
Nintendo may catch lots of flack for bringing gaming to the casual market, but their methods have certainly not fallen on death ears. While the DS was far from the first touch-screen device, it was one of the first mass-market commercial ones. It has since been followed up by Apple’s iPhone and a slew of
Video of the day: old school Paper Mario

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 games and the battle against being irrelevant
about 2 years ago - Comments Off
The Globe and Mail has an interesting column up by Chad Sapieha about the timelessness, or lack thereof, of video games. Basically, his argument is that video games, unlike film and literature, are not timeless. That a game played today will not echo with the same resonance ten years down the line. He has a
Video of the day: Return to Dark Castle trailer
about 2 years ago - View Comments
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
Microsoft Excel the next powerhouse graphics engine?
about 2 years ago - Comments Off
This video is both remarkable and pointless. Did you know you can render 3D graphics in Microsoft Excel? Did you care? Probably not for both, but upon seeing you’ll have a hard time arguing it isn’t a little cool to make such a bland work tool actually do something fun. Now, where are the modders

Ever wanted a Nintendo DS with a hot pink top, but a black bottom? Sure, who hasn’t? Now, thanks to Colorware you can have just that. Or, basically, any other horrid combination you can imagine. Colorware is offering an online custom paint application for the DS. Using it you can color just about any part
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

I don’t normally comment on blogs, however I have to say that I rather enjoyed yours as it was indepth. I´ve bookmarked your blog and hope to explorer it further when I have a little more time. Keep up the good work. Well back to my dreaming of Panama or back to the books – I wonder which one is going to win out.
