Image of the day: 100 Marios, new game or cosplay world record?
Cosplay, if you don’t know, is the act of dressing up like your favorite video game character. Why would you do this? For conventions and Halloween, and just general fun one would guess. Anyway, London was recently the sight of “The Largest Gathering of Games Characters,” an attempt to set a Guinness world record. A lot of Marios showed up, but also some Final Fantasy characters and Mario’s former rival Sonic. Click on the image for a full sized version.

Hey kids, remember when Sonic still starred in cool games and had a shred of credibility? No? Well, he did once, and that credibility was used to endorse Honey Nut Cheerios. Yes, Cheerios do seem like the perfect fit for a blazingly fast rodent. Wouldn’t it have made more sense for Sonic to advertise something

Below are 25 popular (and not so popular) reasons why gamers annoy those who don’t play games. 1. Halo is not a sport.That’s great that you’re really into playing online games, but they’re

Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe might not have won fans over initially with its concept, but it looks to be getting there. First, was the confirmation that there will indeed be blood within the game. Now you can finally realize that fantasy of pummeling a bloody Superman. Second, there’s this new render of Scorpion
Sonic is Unleashed on yet another game
about 2 years ago - Comments Off
Sonic the Hedgehog has grown a little tired. Actually, that may be putting it nicely. After his last PS3/Xbox 360 outing, Sonic has grown infirm. That doesn’t mean Sega will stop trying to bring him back. Sonic Unleashed is their newest offering, which is still somewhat clouded in mystery. What is known is that the
Image of the day: Mario Kart Wii’s roller coaster mine cart level
about 2 years ago - Comments Off
If you’re going to design a cartoon racing game, it should be required by law that one level takes place on a roller coaster track. Really, is there anywhere you’d rather race? Perhaps the bottom of the ocean. This image of Mario Kart Wii showcases what appears to be a roller coaster inspired mine cart
Image of the day: ink and paint Ninja Gaiden
about 2 years ago - Comments Off
This original artwork of Ryu from Ninja Gaiden is incredibly fun and good for just a “doodle.” That’s the word that the creator, Gary Harrod, uses so no disrespect meant. It’s made from a mix of oils and paints, but the neatest part is how perfectly it captures that line between cartoon and comic. It’s
The Great Games: Super Smash Bros.

In The Great Games column we look back at titles that have defined video games over the years and earned a special place in the history of the medium. It is easy to forget in the shadow of its younger brothers just how revolutionary Super Smash Bros. was at the time of its release. It
Image of the day: Street Fighter II HD is a thing of beauty
about 2 years ago - View Comments
 Sure, there are prettier and more realistic fighters out there. Still, Street Fighter II HD is a thing to marvel. It’s like the first time you saw Super Mario Bros. as part of Super Mario All-Stars and it felt like an entirely new game. Capcom has managed to take a classic and breathe into
Image of the day: trippy Mario franchise poster art
about 2 years ago - View Comments
Yes, technically trippy is probably not a word. But can you conquer up one that better fits this image? Perhaps: fantastic. It’s essentially the entire Mario franchise summed up in one artistic swish of the brush, and it’s very, very good. Credit goes to Gabe Swarr. Perhaps you can print it out and hang it
Super Mario 64 goes old school with Classic Edition mod
about 2 years ago - View Comments
The 3D Mario titles have not gotten the attention from modders the way the 2D Marios have. That’s likely due to the complexity of making new 3D stages and editing 3D models. So, it’s rather impressive when you see one done as well as Super Mario 64: Classic Edition. Granted, it is flawed. Still, as
