Video of the day: Ninja Gaiden anime remake
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 amount of new while keeping the iconic shots from the original still in there. It would be neat to see the entire game’s story remade this way. If it has been, pass the info along below.

Friday the 13th: a tribute in games
about 1 year ago - View Comments
This Friday will see the “reimagining†of one of the classic slasher franchises in theaters across the nation. Standing now at 12 films, it is hard to imagine a film franchise making it this far and not being the subject matter of a game or two. Unfortunately, the only game of note to honor the
Video of the day: First Heavy Rain game footage

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

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 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
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
Vancouver Art Gallery to unveil unique video game exhibition

Are video games art? Ask that of most gamers and you will hear angry rants about Roger Ebert and Clive Barker. Ask a fan of other mediums of art, and you might get a more hesitant response. Not so from the Vancouver Art Gallery, who is set to unveil this summer a groundbreaking new exhibition

This site has featured Zelda landscapes created from Legos in the past. This site has featured CG animated Zelda video adventures in the past.
