Soviet-Inspired Legend of Zelda Poster
An artist going by the name of Serialkid drew this very Soviet-inspired propaganda poster of The Legend of Zelda.
Exergaming Isn't Just to make you Look Silly By Mat Growcott
Motion controllers almost exclusively led to the crazy that is exergaming; there were bits and pieces before the Wii came out, but its only in the last five years that it's really taken off. Some core gamers see it as something of a fad (as some of them see absolutely everything outside of their circle of interest) but scientists have found that the added mental test of exergaming over straight exercise can help stay off the effects of dementia.
Dr Marie Janson, of Alzheimers Research UK, explains their... More »
The Best Gaming Podcast Ever: Episode 22
By Dennis Patrick 
This week Matt couldn't make it to the show, but that doesn't mean our podcast isn't filled with the latest gaming news and shenanigans. We start out with Jacob dishing out the latest scoop on SOPA along with a list of websites who plan on “going dark” in protest of the bill. Annie and Ian also share their thoughts over Notch's “Minecraft piracy tweet” for those who can't afford the game.
We even brought back our favorite tech junkie Kyle Wattenmaker from Akascope.com to... More »
I'd Give My Life, Not For Honor, But For This Metal Gear Solid 3DS By Elizabeth DeLoria
Remember how horrifically excited I was about the special Metal Gear Solid 3DS: Snake Eater console? Well I’ve stopped crying to bring you the bad news - looks like they’re going to be near impossible to get.
The special snake skin covered 3DS (which is possibly the sexiest console I have ever set my eyes on) is being released to mark the launch of Metal Gear Solid 3DS, but Konami are making people work for it.
First of all, they’re only selling it via the online Konami store, and they’re only... More »

Conker's Bad Fur Day Was Uncensored, Spare Pokemon And KKK Jokes By Elizabeth DeLoria
Long before Saints Row was pummeling us with crude and unsavoury humor, a game called Conker’s Bad Fur day was sending parents into panic. But was it censored at all? Not as much as you might think.
Chris Seavor, the director of the game who formerly worked at Rare, spoke with Gamika about the classic game, and it looks like there were a few things that didn’t quite make it in the end.
“Stuff in CBFD did get censored, whole cutscenes in fact, but on reflection i could see how some people might be... More »
The Most Beautiful Controller That You'll Never Have By Elizabeth DeLoria
Not too long ago, we showed you what could possibly be the ugliest controller in the existence of video games. Well, as an apology for any eye or wallet injury it may have caused, we thought we’d show you what’s possibly one of the most beautiful controllers ever created.
This Legend of Zelda controller, created by The Work Of Data, is only a concept design - but goddamn if it isn’t great to look at and dream of holding.
The GameCube controller would have come packaged in a beautifully detailed... More »
Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir is Portable Nightmare Fuel By Elizabeth DeLoria
There are very few games that make me so scared that I have to sleep with the lights on, and Fatal Frame is one of them. Now you can finally carry the terror around with you on your 3DS, so you can freak out on the bus to work like a functioning member of society.
Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir doesn’t just make your DS scary, either. Oh no, it goes that extra mile and uses augmented reality, because, you know, you totally want to see those scary ghosts flying around your room. Some of us enjoy horrible... More »
Atari, Ubisoft, and Codemasters to Pirates: "Hey, Give Us Money or We're Telling!" By Addison Langford
People never seem to know an effective way to deal with the people of the internet. This is evident from the way the whole Ocean Marketing incident went down and how the government has been handling SOPA. Here we have yet another example of the wrong way to handle hardcore internet users; Atari, Ubisoft, and Codemasters have all came together to threaten pirates.
The threat is simple, give us money or get sued. And how exactly do these companies plan on tracking down their nemesis pirates? Why with the 100% foul proof... More »

Top 10 FPS Games of 2012
By Ian Miles Cheong 
Top FPS Games of 2012
I've been playing FPS games for as long as I can remember. From the pixelated, but pretty (for its time) Wolfenstein 3D to the beautifully realistic Battlefield 3, first person shooters have provided gaming with its greatest hits for over two decades, and they're not about to stop anytime soon.
Thanks to the first person perspective, players can jump into the boots of a space marine, post-apocalyptic raider, or counter-terrorist operative, and gun down innumerable... More »
Beautiful Sculpture Gives Michelangelo's Classic a Mario Twist By Elizabeth DeLoria
I’m not someone who knows a whole lot about art, so it’s pretty rare for me to get an art reference. Pieta Game Over, however, is an exception.
The sculpture, which is based on Michelangelo's Pieta (found in St Peter’s Basilica, in the Vatican City,) gives the famous work of art a Mario twist. While the original sculpture is known for realistic and almost incomprehensible detail right down to Mary’s expression as she cradles her son, the Mario version is a little more simple and less likely...

Stop the Party, the Zelda Timeline isn't as Definitive as we Thought By Mat Growcott
Apparently we were all a little too excited when it came to the Legend of Zelda timeline, released in Hyrule Historia last month. I say that because instead of being sensible and reading the book in order, people who received the book early just jumped to the timeline and put it up on the internet. They should have read a little disclaimer written by Eiji Aonuma that says "the story is just tacked together after we've focussed on the gameplay and probably shouldn't be taken too seriously," then none...
