I have a confession to make. To my shame, I never bought the first version of this book – The Fantasy Art of Oliver Frey – when it was first published back in 2006. There, I feel better now that’s off my chest. However, I feel that now it may have been a good thing. […]
We’ve got two big contests at SAGE this year, one to immortalize your artwork in the greatest unofficial official game of all time, and another to immortalize your game creation skills in shame (and win some cash for Amazon!) Hit the jump for details on both: RAGE (Really Amateur Game Expo) is, bar none, […]
That swanky looking Sonic Mania collector’s edition is coming to Europe, Sega announced today. It’s exactly the same package that North America is getting, but there are a couple of caveats.

Imagine being able to open up a brand new Famicom and Famicom Disk System for the first time today, then loading up The Legend Of Zelda for the first time. It’s a crazy thought, but something that is entirely possible – albeit only for the select few with access to the storage facility at Nintendo’s head […]
While the lack of a worldwide Seiken Densetsu 3 localisation could be considered somewhat criminal, there are countless other video games which never saw release outside of Japan for legitimate reasons. The 1990 Nintendo Famicom adventure Musashi no Bōken is one of these, and one that no doubt remained an Eastern exclusive given its focus […]
