I’m not even going to give this newest extension of the Mortal Kombat series the label of sequel. I’m looking at this as a reinvention. The new Mortal Kombat name is being designed as an ode to everything that was great about the original series. Featuring recreations of the original arenas we came to know so well, as well as ...

Despite popular belief, there is more to Rock Paper Scissors then blind luck. A lot more. Professional roshambo competitors apply certain strategies to their game and try to shy away from the common move. But if you’re a typical Rock Paper Scissor player, odds are you’re not competing against a professional. The following infographic provides the strategies you need to ...

Halo 2600 goes far beyond any other retro gaming mock-up we’ve ever seen. For one, its actually playable in cartridge form on an actual Atari 2600. Secondly, and even cooler, you can play the game online with a little help from emulation. Developed by Ed Fries, the once vice president of Microsoft’s game publishing division who assisted in the signing ...

Starring Mark Zuckerberg as Rich Uncle Pennybags! The goal is simple. Buy as much stock in the social media properties scattered across the board until you control all of the game’s money.

But can it handle the superb sci-fi RTS action of StarCraft? It can… to a certain point. While it sure as hell looks awesome, even LEGO bricks can’t solve the problems of ...

People have started receiving their Starcraft II pre-orders in the mail. Of course, the first thing they’re going to do is through the disc in the ole drive and start gaming away. Not so. Blizzard is restricting the general audience of getting a head start over everyone else by blocking access to the game until tomorrow. When attempting to play ...

Its been well over 12 years since the release of the original game so we won’t hold it against you (too much) if you’re a little rusty on your Starcraft lore. This quick video will fill you in on all the details ...

Taking inspiration from my two favorite geek icons of all time, Flickr user mrksaari created these real-life Super Mario zombie cosplay costumes. Princess Peach looks like she’s holding her own just fine, so I’m pretty sure the Mario clan has a new objective. And I’ll give you a hint.

It was devastating the first time you heard it and it’s just one of those things that doesn’t get easier to stomach. Yes, when I found out that Tetris didn’t exactly follow the laws of physics I was completely blindsided. “What else aren’t they telling me?” I thought. Next I’ll be hearing that Dr. Mario doesn’t even have his Ph. ...
