Fan Art versus Official Art (Feature)

May 12, 2009

A lot of official game art comes through our inboxes every day. Produced by game developers and distributed by their public relations teams to the media, eye-catching official game art is the stuff that magazine covers are made of and are often posted on sites like this. ...

13 greatest enemies that are also round (Feature)

Apr 14, 2009

There are enemies that are circular, and there are enemies that aren’t circular. These are the ones that are circular.

Euclidian geometry defines circles as the points on a plane which are the same distance from another point called the center, got it? That’s awesome. There is no geometric definition for enemies, but if there was it would define them as the guys that kill you. ...

GamesRadar Mega Man Headquarters (Feature)

Jul 3, 2008

All week we've been posting articles about Mega Man, one of gaming's most beloved and long-lived characters. Capcom's official count puts him in at least 120 games over the past 20 years, a number that surely must beat out all other popular characters and mascots (save Mario).We've got a massive retrospective, an exclusive hands-on with the latest game in the series, Mega Man 9, a bad ass contest packed with 10 super-cool prizes... and that's not even all of it.

Mega Man 9 - exclusive interview with the mind behind the machines (Feature)

Jul 3, 2008

Two massively important reveals happened this past weekend. One, Blizzard announced Diablo III, one of the most obvious and expected sequels of all time. The other was a bit more surprising, but still known due to weeks of random information leaks. That would be Mega Man 9, finally confirmed via scans from Nintendo Power ...

Mega Man Week: Pixel robot factory! (Feature)

Jul 2, 2008

Late last year we published a story about PixelBlocks, LEGO-like building blocks that are perfect for recreating classic 8 and 16-bit sprites. Their size and shape make them ideal for 1 to 1 comparisons between retro images and the blocks you have at home. Yes you can do the ...

Yesterday we dropped a massive Mega Man retrospective, packed with tons of information and custom art. If you're really into the retro scene, you're gonna totally freak out over these hand-made wallpapers designed by submitter Joshua Hines - he hand-ripped most of the sprite ...

The ultimate Mega Man retrospective (Feature)

Jun 30, 2008

Since his introduction in 1987, Mega Man has starred in more than 100 video games spanning nearly every console and handheld in existence. After several hugely successful titles, Mega Man ceased to be a game character and became a part of pop culture, with countless references across all mediums and cameos in even more Capcom titles. ...

The Top 7... Assassins (Feature)

Feb 6, 2008

On some level, roughly 95 percent of games have always been about assassination: go to point A and kill prominent entity B, fighting your way through goons C through Z to get there. Most games tend to come up with a morally justifiable pretext for all the violence, but more and more, we're seeing games that drop the act and let you be what you've secretly known yourself to be all along: a remorseless killing machine bent on destroying your targets. ...

Mega Man Powered Up (Review)

Mar 14, 2006

If you're gonna remake a classic game, it had better be damn good. Otherwise, well, bad things happen. Luckily for Capcom, Mega Man: Powered Up isn't just good; it's damn good. It's one of the most interesting remakes we've ever seen, and contains enough retro-style platforming challenges to keep even the most ardent Mega Man fan busy for months. The original Mega Man, on which this game is based, hails all the way back from 1987 and the Nintendo Entertainment System. Mega Man pitted a ...

Mega Man: Powered up (Preview)

Mar 7, 2006

The Mega Man series was once everyone's favorite. Those days are long gone, though. The spinoff series, Battle Network and Mega Man X, have stolen the spotlight. No new plain Jane Mega Man game has been produced in nine years. Rather than put out a sequel, Capcom has done the predictable and elected to make us spend $30 on the first game, circa 1987, all over again. Before you get too pissed off at this apparent cash-grab, know that the company is spending some of its own money this time, ...
