So there's this French artist and sculptor named Richard Orlinski who is renowned for his blue/white/red gorilla and t-rex sculpture, all created around the "Born Wild" concept. They're pretty iconic: here's a refresher on how they look like: What's this got to do with video games? Easy: the renowned artist has taken a stab at recreating Pac-M...
So what's worst than seeing Sonic The Hedgehog's 2019 live-action CGI incarnation, human teeth and all? Hearing how tonally mismatched the Coolio "Gangstas Paradise" song is when played on the film's debut trailer. Or Weird Al Yankovic's "Amish Paradise if you want to be candid about it. I half-expected Sonic to bust a cap on James Marsden halfway...

It's good to see a game like Chrono Trigger getting more acclaim and praise 24 years later. According to a Famitsu poll (via Siliconera), the Squaresoft JRPG was voted the best game in the Heisei period. This was followed by The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and NieR: Automata at 2nd and 3rd place respectively. The poll had 7,158 readers par...

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mq3v7Q_Vsuo] The console takes the form of the iconic duotone Capcom logo offering 16 of the best Capcom titles ...
I've spent hours traipsing through the cold bits of Pandora yet again since 10 years ago, gunning down heavy-shielded Vault protectors and Crimson Lance soldiers of varying bad-assness in glorious 4K and Ultra graphic settings. And then it just dawned onto me; I didn't turn on my network settings in-game. Within 10 years, the loot-and-shoot genre t...
SNK just announced the brand-new characters in its upcoming Samurai Shodown 2019 reboot which looks awesomesauce so far. The game has a Japanese release date: 27 June for PS4 and Xbox One. They'll also be an arcade version of the game this summer. But you're not here for that! You're here to find out more about the new additions to the SamSho lega...
It's no secret that the best themes and music can make people remember films they didn't even watch or games they didn't even play. I know a bunch of people who haven't touched Halo and yet they remember that main theme melody in the Bungie-composed theme. The same goes for Mario, Sonic, and a slew of other retro titles. Sakura Wars for the Sega S...
Legendary music composer Yuzo Koshiro, who made his mark in the Ys series and in a ton of Sega Megadrive/Genesis games, will be involved with the Mega Drive Mini. He will be making brand-new music for the menu, which is fitting considering he's contributed a ton of aural masterpieces during the MegaDrive heydays. In keeping with the old-school the...
After watching the live-action Dumbo remake by Tim Burton -you know, the one about the flying elephant- there's been a question that's been plaguing my mind: Where are the live-action versions of the crow brothers? I mean, if you want to talk about race representation in films back in the day, they have that by the boatload. Just not in a posit...
It's been a while since we've heard about the Sega Mega Drive Mini. Which is why it's great that Sega will be talking more about it later this week. The Sega Fes 2019 website received an update (via Siliconera), stating that there will be more info about the upcoming retro console on 30 March at noon (GMT +8). The stage event (streamed on Nico Nic...
Way before From Software loved testing and torturing players with the Dark Souls and Bloodborne games, they had a hand in creating some of the most beloved action game since the late 90s. Okay, we lied. They're not beloved, but more like "tolerated" and "garnered a cult following". From Software aren't like Capcom and Platinum Games; they like...
In honour of Sekiro's One-Armed Wolf, a shinobi/ninja with a grappling hook and the ability to resurrect when needed, let's talk about video games' plethora of silent killers, one-man powerhouses, and black/white-clad sword-wielding shuriken-chucking heroes: the video game ninja. Unlike the real-life variant, most video game ninjas attack their ...
Desperate times call for desperate measures, especially when it comes to Star Wars games by EA. Within 5 years, the company has released two Battlefront games to middling/negative fanfare, one expansion to the Old Republic MMO, and one mobile game that hasn't made any waves in that particular sector. That is probably more than enough to anger Disn...
It's Konami's 50th birthday, and if it were not for its #fuckkonami movement from their past misdeeds, we would be a tad overjoyed at its continued existence. Alas, its pachinko business is doing just fine besmirching its past icons and mascots. But bygones should be bygones. After all, the company plans to release Anniversary Collections of their...
In another effort to keep it old school and dish out throwbacks up the wazoo, Capcom is releasing a new stage for Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition that will tickle your nostalgic fancy. https://twitter.com/StreetFighter/status/1106600694096658433 Yep, they're bringing back field stage from Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie/Street Fighter Alph...
A new challenger has arrived! After doing anime/manga and Metal Gear Rising shirts, it's high time Uniqlo took it to the next level. Starting 15 April, they will not be blinking and be going for broke with new Street Fighter shirts, in collaboration with Capcom. Check out the designs below, from your dragon punch motions to your "Go Home And Be A...
The common idea that 'games make you violent' may take a violent turn when Professor Andrew Przybylski, Director of Research at the Oxford Internet Institute, reveals that there is no relationship between aggressive behaviour in teenagers and the amount of time spent playing violent video games. Lead researcher Professor Andrew Przybylski said "th...
Remember the really awesome Moon Theme in that 1989 NES Capcom-made DuckTales game? Who didn't, really? It's an awesome and cheerful ditty composed by Hiroshige Tonomura using a 6502 assembly language using his colleague Yoshihiro Sakaguchi's sound driver. Here's a reminder: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KF32DRg9opA Here's a bunch of guys who ...
In our last LTTP column where we talk about games we missed a year ago, we talked about an anime game in Yakuza clothing. This week, we have an indie darling that's wearing the coattails of Sword Arts Online. But unlike the Bandai Namco games based on the franchise, the game we're talking about is actually good. CrossCode (PC, and Nintendo Switch) ...
