Classic Video Games With Real-Life Backdrops Are Delightful
Video games from the 8-bit and 16-bit era mixed with real life environments look awesome, and it’s a technique that lets anyone’s creativity shine. It’s something that Kotaku has covered before, but it would be a mistake to not share the new ones.
The Most Amazing Video Game Title Screens
We did a gallery on the most awesome continue screens a few weeks ago, so it’s only fair that we give their complement — start menus and title screens — the same treatment.
This Creepy-Cool Metroid Poster Gives A Shout Out To Alien
Lovers of Nintendo’s sci-fi action franchise know that Metroid’s female protagonist and a cosmic ecosystem of creatures that nest all over the galaxy were inspired by Ridley Scott’s classic space horror film Alien. A new poster by artist Marinko Milosevski (who we’ve featured before) honours that thematic connection with a darkly cool image done in a movie poster style.
The Most Amazing Snow Levels And Zones In Video Games
Barring timed underwater escort missions, snow levels, with all their slippery ice and falling rocks (not to mention the fog), are probably the deadliest.
Yet it’s easy to find enjoyable — or at least memorable — ones, even if we disregard games where the entire setting is snowy (We’re looking at you, Skyrim).
Forget Metroid: Other M, This Is How I Always Imagined Samus…
I didn’t necessarily have any issues with Metroid: Other M in terms of how it worked mechanically. On the contrary, I enjoyed it. But this fantastic piece of art, by poojipoo really illustrated the massive misteps Nintend and Team Ninja made with the character of Samus. She was reduced to a blubbering, indecisive mess when she really should have been like the Samus in this fanart: determined, efficient, brutal if need be. I love it.
