This is probably one of the better video game fan films, even though I think it relied a bit too much on the source material to get a lot of the points across. I like how the whole thing takes place in just that little room with only three characters. Except for the necessary special …

Another fantastic piece brought to us by Taylor Davis. This time a combination of Elizabeth’s theme and the fantastic “Will the Circle Be Unbroken” from Bioshock Infinite. Okay, So Circle isn’t “from” Bioshock Infinite, but it’s pretty integral to the theme of the game. I’m actually glad it isn’t, since I might one day want …

Not an actual Did You Know Gaming, but an incredible fanmade simulation! It seems like Bioshock has had a pretty interesting development history. I have to disagree with their final decision though to make the Little Sisters actual little girls. I thought that was an incredibly low blow to the players who were really trying …

While Bioshock Infinite may not have been perfect, it did have a wonderful art direction. Particularly, the motorized patriots have some of my favorite designs in the game, not only looking like George Washington but having the flags positioned in such a way that they look like wings. I think it’s a pretty clever way …

It’s been a few weeks since Bioshock Infinite has come out and the general consensus has been varied. While those that love the game have called it a masterpiece at best and “art trapped in violence“. It can be summed up as a fun game but fundamentally flawed. Now you can argue which ever way …

So how is that Bioshock Infinite working out for you? Do you think that perhaps, that the beautiful art direction or action based gameplay might be getting in the way of enjoying the excellent narrative? Alternatively, you heard of 8-bit demakes, but how about a modern HD shooter turned into a text-based adventure? Bioshoot …

So let’s say that you have a special someone not into Skyward Sword. Surely there must be some other piece of gaming jewelry that you can get her. Maybe one from a more recent game that features another floating settlement. But bigger, darker, and giant bird creatures…except not Skyward Sword. Yeah…so which one do you …

For video games that seem to be getting more and more detailed as the years go by, a lot of artists seem to take the minimalist approach when depicting them in their fan art. For example, take this art by DeviantArtist Emily Lemay, also known as yamelme. She has several video game character silhouettes where …

Remember Me is looking like a really interesting game and I’m glad that it’s taking a more traditional sci-fi approach of commenting on today’s culture by using a speculation of the future. It’s similar to what Deus Ex and Bioshock do (okay, Bioshock takes place in the past, but it’s a very modern day past). …

I have recently finished playing Bioshock Infinite and it seems to be the talk of the internet. I have to say, that design wise I think the game is far from perfect with tons of flaws and annoyances, but I’ve always loved the methods of storytelling and while I don’t think the art direction was …

So you may remember this image from way back in June. Looking back on it, I feel kinda awful because I never credited anyone. This was probably from the fact that I found it on memebase and they didn’t have a credit either. Well, no more. I literally cannot stand this gross violation of all …

ADHO1982, real name Adam, makes posts for all kinds of pop culture stuff. If you enjoy the internet then you are probably going to enjoy in gallery of video game inspired posters. Check out some of my favorites and then check out his site for a lot more.

Miles Donovan creates posters surrounding various pop culture icons, mainly from video games and Star Wars. It’s him that makes me wish I understood this kind of art better. I want to say that his style is a mixture of modern and minimalist without going overboard on either. It’s all very simple, not bogged down …

I’m surprised this is the first instance of this joke I’ve seen. Seriously, Bioshock is how old? You think a game featuring a supposed undersea utopia would lend itself to lots of The Little Mermaid jokes, and maybe it has and I just missed the boat on those years ago.

BioShock Infinite So just in case you ever thought it was possible to have real-life plasmids that will let us shoot fire from our hand or anything like that. Good thing we have the guys over at GameTrailers letting us know that those crazy over the top ideas are just crazy over the top ideas. …
