25 Exquisite Fan Art Images
Maybe games are not art, but some of the people out there can make them into art.
Starcraft II – It Will Make You A Man
I love RTS games. I love the strategic aspect, the management, the mini wars and all that stuff. Strangely enough, I'm not by any means an RTS guru. I think the only ones I've played extensively are Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds and Pikmin. Yeah, that's right, Pikmin. I'm a man just for admitting that.
But here we are in August of 2010 and we are just about a week after the release of StarCraft II, the sequel to one of, if not THE most popular RTS games. It may as well be titled StarCraft to me, because I barely played the original. I was lucky enough to have a friend that donated their 7 hour trial that came with his copy of StarCraft II. I've got about an hour left and, honestly, I need to pick up this game this weekend. After playing the shit and piss out of some campaign and multiplayer, I learned a very important lesson about myself that many other newcomers probably learned at the exact same time. This lesson being "Holy shit, I'm not Korean". I also learned this game takes some serious practice.
5 Games That Failed(When They Shouldn’t Have)
Sometimes, video games fail. Bugs, awful gameplay, shitty story, bad controls and so on. It's a natural thing, not all video games get to be big and get people out on the street enduring rain just get a copy of it. Sometimes though, you'd expect a certain game to be good, for various reasons: a good prequel, some nice trailer you saw, or an awesome marketing campaign that got you all wet. But then you get your hands on it and you realize it sucks. Big time. How does that make you feel? Ashamed that you trusted the developers? A sucker for falling into the hype trap? Whatever it is you feel, we all went through it, especially in this last year. Here are five games that took us all by surprise with their outstanding shittyness and a sheer amount of disappointment.
Video Games Are Not Art? 30 Reasons To Change Your Mind
There was a guy a while ago who said video games are not art. I can't exactly remember his reasons, and I'm too dandy right now to look it up and sadden myself again. How do I prove that video games are indeed art? Through artwork, of course! Duh. Here are 30 of some finest artwork and fan art out there, but you are welcomed to send your own if you think you can do prettier:
Who Does It Best – Hype
Buying Halo 3 on line
The second feature of the "Who Does It Best" specials is back by popular demand, thanks to the positive feedback on the first one.
Hype is a major element in every developer's strategy, because even though you know your game is bad, you can still manage to sell millions of copies if you take care of your marketing department. At least on launch day anyway. Of course, hype is not a bad thing itself. Without it, there would be many unknown good games out there. So let's see who does it best now, shall we?
Five Minutes of Hate: Playstation Move
Just like in George Orwell's 1984, I would like to take a few minutes and just hate something that pisses me off. While I scream and swear at the object of my hate, I will try to argument my hatred though, but I can't promise it will make any sense. Hate usually doesn't. Here we go now:
Playstation Move
I always thought of PS3 and Xbox 360 as hardcore gaming platforms, with most of their games made for people who enjoy playing real games. My fondness of PS3 was due to the PS2 memories, so I always believed more in Sony than Microsoft. But here comes E3 2010 and here goes my admiration. Sony unveils Playstation Move, which is basically a Wiimote with a lightbulb on top, presumably to make it look even more silly and fabulous.
Enough colors to make every gay person happy
Could you explain to me how is it possible to announce Killzone 3, an M rated FPS, and the fact that you're into kiddie stuff at the same event? Check your fucking priorities Sony, you're like a fat person facing a cake and a burger and doesn't know what to do, so he makes a sandwich with them. Also, this is probably the ugliest device in the history of video gaming. Seriously Sony, a fucking light bulb? How did this abomination get pass the inspection crew? Do you even have an inspection crew?
What do you plan on doing with this thing anyway? Do you actually expect us to use that filthy black cock to play serious video games? Do you see us shooting aliens in Crysis with that? How could someone take me seriously when I sit in the front of my TV with a magic shiny wand waving as if I'm fighting Zeus in God of War? What the fuck?
I get Nintendo and their Wii. It's what they always did, nothing can surprise me when their logo appears on something, even if it's Mario made to look like a dildo. I also get the Wii as a casual console for casual gamers and grannies. It fits, it doesn't bother me. But why the fuck would Sony try to mimic them? Did you learn nothing from EA? The casual current is not to be approached if you care about your image.
So fuck you Sony. By the way, I think your bear-shaped cookies are burning, go check it out. Also, take this tampon to put on your massive vagina.
Who Does It Best – Cinematics [PC]
Cinematics are the best way to explain and detail a game's plot fast and without the player's interaction (well, in most cases anyway). Some developers prefer to use the actual game engine to render them, which means that if the engine is shitty then so will the cinematics be and they will also have an impact on the performance, while others use pre-rendered and highly detailed movies to impress us. Now let's see who does it best.
