We know it had to be delayed for fairly obvious reasons, pushing therelease date back to September 5. Now, the latest trailer has been released, and it’s really whetting my appetite forHeart of Chornobyl....

This Lost Woods project makes a perfect case for Legend of Zelda LEGOs

Hey, I found the sword Seeing LEGO creations that I don’t have the time or resources to create is soothing, and that includes Dardanele’s take on The Lost Woods from variousZeldagames.

This is far from the first entry in the LEGOZeldahistory books though....

[NSFW] Beard View: Onechanbara Z2: Chaos

‘Two big handfuls of gameplay’ Onechanbaraholds a special place in my heart (you know, that thing that throbs and fills with blood). The series has only had two games released stateside,one for the Wiiandits prequel for the Xbox 360a month beforehand, though it has been aroundsince 2004 in Japanand has had releases on various consoles since. When I recorded this titular Beard View, it wasn’t yet announced that the gamewill be coming to North America and Europe, and considering it is a direct sequel toOnechanbara Z: Kagura, it still makes little sense for it to come out here....

Making games has yet to lead them to fame or fortune, and it certainly hasn’t led them to dress better, but all the same, some have assumed that they are obsessed with being ‘hip’ (AKA hipsters) because the stars of their next game have a certain flair for fashion....
