It seems that one of the newest trends in gaming is the addition of a chicken in some way, due no doubt to the success of Angry Birds.
The first video shows gameplay from The Chicken Bandit, “a western side-scrolling action game” where you “Play as a lone cowboy accompanied only by his over-sized chicken sidekick as you travel from land to land robbing trains and lassoing up as much loot as possible.”
The second video is the trailer for Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chickens for the Playstation Vita. It’s also a side scroller, full of shoot em up action, atmospheric environments and a chicken revolution.
It seems like 2012 might be the year of the chicken after all, at least when it comes to video games.

Solitude, Windhelm or Whiterun, which of the fine holds will you visit during your next fantastic Skyrim vacation? Personally, I’m quite fond of Riften, but I guess I’m just a thief at heart.

I would love to see this crossover and the best part is that it seems like something Adventure Time would even consider taking on at some point.

Getting a full back tattoo dedicated to World of Warcraft is a pretty big sign of your dedication. I mean, that means that even 30 years from now you’ll still have to prefer it over Star Wars Old Republic, DC Universe Online, Rift, or any of the thousand other awesome MMOs that will come out in that time. Otherwise, you’ll just look like a hypocrite, and no one wants that.

Looking for a more enjoyable way to play Metroid games on your Nintendo Wii console? Well, then check out this bad boy-a custom made Arm Cannon that houses your Wiimote in style, so you can channel your inner Samus as you blast alien critters to bit.
Created by Reddit user nhg92, it’s a cosplay and epic gaming accessory in one! Now if only he can find a way to integrate the Nunchuk controller into a Samus suit….

Comments Off If you love classic side scrollers and you love Adventure Time, then you’ll certainly appreciate this great intro for an imaginary Adventure Time game. I don’t know about you guys, but I desperately wish this was made into a real game because it would be freaking awesome.

Comments Off I don’t know about you guys, but when I want to play Star Wars video games, I certainly don’t want to play Dance Central. I don’t know many people who would either, which is why the idea of having a slave Princess Leia dance contest seems so silly. You can check out the action at 4:30.
What do you guys think? Yay or nay?

In a world full of first person shooters and epic roleplaying games, it’s nice to know that game designers are still interested in stepping out of their comfort zones and creating strange conceptual games that blow minds and take players on some rather strange trips.
Created by Alexander Bruce, this game looks like a nightmare journey through an old school PC with a serious virus, and the soundtrack serves as a constant reminder that things aren’t always what they seem in this surreal journey called Antichamber.

Who wants another boring old superhero costume, or another suit of Spartan armor, when you can have the allure and mystery that is this little cutie looking badass in her big ol’ battle armor?
The white out contacts are a nice touch, as is the bag full of potion vials at the ready, but I started to wonder what this Demon Hunter looks like without the armor.
Then I realized that Its_Raining_Neon’s DeviantART page (link found below) would probably feature some *ahem* more revealing pics, so I checked it out and found out that pretty much all of her cosplay sessions are epic scale goodness. Be still my beating heart!

Comments Off You know her as the damsel who’s eternally in distress in the Super Mario Bros. video game franchise, but does anybody bother to ask her how she feels about needing to be saved all the time?
Princess Peach channels Lana Del Rey to tell you, in her own words, why she’s sick of being an end game prize, and why she longs for the days when she starred as a playable character.

This cute animated short shows what video game characters and their pet sidekicks are like when they get together at their local dog park.
Some of the critters are just glad to be outside, while others lament their current station in life, all in classic retro gaming style. Just don’t try to pick up those brown bricks with your bare hands!

Imagine the look of horror on your friend’s face when you take that copy of Chrono Trigger he’s been looking for all these years and proceed to wash your hands with it, the cartridge literally melting away before his eyes!
These cleverly designed Nintendo cartridge shaped soaps are for guests only, and they’re not meant for insertion into any slots, console or personal or otherwise, so please don’t get any sick ideas about playing human gaming console in the shower!

Get your punch on and light up a room in style with this Super Mario Bros. themed coin block lamp, now with punchable on-off switch!
So, whether you want to vent your frustration, impress your goofy gamer friends, or just look as cool as possible when turning on a lamp, this super cool coin block lamp will get the job done in style.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be in my workshop rigging this thing up to dispense mushrooms and magic flowers…

This whimsical illustrated chart by Aaron Thong shows some alternate uses for portals, like the ones created by the handheld portal device carried by the main characters in the Portal video game series.
You’d better ask for permission from GLaDOS before attempting these unauthorized uses of your portal gun, or you may be taken offline. Skydiving seems like a fun way to use a portal, but hula hooping looks downright dangerous!
Comments Off The Prince of Persia may have been all slick and nimble in the classic video game, but when he tries to make the transition into real life he finds that the world isn’t a very pixel friendly place. Man, I need to get my own Keyboard guy!

It might not surprise you that Call of Duty 4 was banned in the Middle East or that Postal was banned in Australia, but some of these top ten banned games are a bit of a shock. For example, Mass Effect was banned in Singapore for its lesbian love scene. The most surprising item on the list though? Football Manager 5 (that’s a soccer game for my fellow Americans). Why was it banned? Because the game lists Tibet as an independent country and that is just not acceptable for The People’s Republic of China.
Comments Off Because Skyrim was just too serious before. Now you too can pew pew your way through the game thanks to this great mod.
I didn’t see Drive, but I’d definitely go see Kart. Props to Dan Hipp for making instantly improving on Hollywood’s vision.
As a geek working at a grocery store, you do your work, bide your time and dream about getting back home to your beloved games. Or, you can bring your passion to work with you, and offer to set up one of these amazing pixel art soda displays and show the world just how cool and refreshing your favorite characters can be.
However, if you’re anti-gamer for some odd reason, there are plenty of other characters to be found in this gallery, and they’re incredible works of pixel art on a grand scale, so there’s that…

If she could just stop getting kidnapped, Link would finally be able to give her his heart, but I doubt that’s ever going to happen. Oh well, we can still appreciate the card, created by Adam Bing, even if Zelda herself will never get it.
Comments Off This Valentine’s Day why celebrate in a warm and cuddly manner when you can get twisted? Sweet Tooth from the Twisted Metal video game franchise is back, and he’s looking for love in all the wrong places, like from a kidnapped victim in an abandoned building.
He’s dark and scary and completely mental, just like love can be at times. Enjoy the true horror of Valentine’s Day with this dark little tale!

Comments Off Ever since Bethesda Studios released the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Toolkit, which allows users to freely modify their gaming experience, things have been getting a little weird.
From tiny Nords to Frostbite Spiders that resemble a deformed Spider Man to swords lit up like light sabers, gamers have been going to town with the toolkit, making the world of Elder Scrolls a much more colorful place.
Recently, Bethesda Studios teamed up with Valve, the makers of the Portal video game series, to celebrate the release of the Toolkit by introducing the cute little Space Core robot from Portal 2 as a time traveling visitor. But what does the little guy do, besides take up space in your inventory?

Just because the video games in the Mario Bros. franchise feature Mario and Luigi as good guys doesn’t mean that the other denizens of the Mushroom Kingdom don’t see them as total jerks.From their penchant for destroying brick structures to their cold blooded turtle kicking tactics, the Mario Bros. just might be the enemy after all.
These propaganda posters from the Mushroom Kingdom urge you to take action against the moustachioed plumbers, and they ask the question the Shy Guys are afraid to answer- “The Koopas are fighting, why aren’t you?”

Ok, maybe not hell per se, but Silent Hill is pretty darn close. Anyway, I sure wouldn’t want to learn anything from Pyramid Head. Who knows what he would do when you get a wrong answer?
We’ve featured a number of great art shows that took place at Gallery 1988 before, but that’s because they have so much awesomely geeky stuff go through there. Their most recent show, Multiplayer x2, focuses exclusively on classic games of the past including Castlevania, Mario and Pac Man. If you happen to be in LA before March 3, be sure check it out.

Comments Off Is someone you know hooked on the video game Elder Scrolls V:Skyrim? Are they exhibiting symptoms usually reserved for tweekers and crackheads? Are you about to call Dr. Drew and sign them up for a new rehab reality TV show?
You should watch this video first, and familiarize yourself with the dangers of Skyrim addiction, and how quickly it can spread to those around you. Intervention cancelled, I just hit level 60!

Sure, all you gamers out there probably already knew there were a lot of Mega Man titles out there, but when you actually put them all together for one picture, that’s when you realize just how massive the catalog truly is. I’d love to see the same thing done for all the Mario games.
There’s something so wrong about combining the the mythos of Skyrim with that of Star Wars that it just has to be right. While there’s a lot of talking before you get to the good part, the bottom line is yes, you can get a lightsaber in Skyrim.
