rcomplex: don’t let the giant squid catch you

rcomplex

I’m not really sure what all is going on with rComplex beyond the fact that I’m certain a giant squid-thing chasing you is bad (very, very bad), but the stark, simple visuals made me stop in my tracks. When a giant squid-thing is chasing you, that’s probably also bad.

For something so simple, rComplex is absolutely stunning,…

firefox-+-ps3-logos

Screw that, here’s something us PS3 owners can look forward to: a PlayStation Insider source who’s “very close to Sony” says…

that old pac-man holiday spirit

pac-man tree skirt xmas christmas

Ahhh, the holidays are nearly upon us, and you know what that means: Pac-Man. He’s already invaded weddings, after all. Now he can also hang out under your Christmas tree, if you are arboreally inclined. Though I’m sure this tree skirt could be spread about under other things if you were really determined.

play pong on your living room walls

pong_wall_decals

After a long day of immersed in a round of Uncharted 2, sometimes it’s nice to take a break from those cinematic next-gen 3D graphics and get back to basics. And there’s nothing quite as primitive as a good old game of Pong.

These wall decals let you transform any wall into a larger-than-life Pong…

Fans of the classic Sega console will appreciate the clean and compact styling of this portable remake what is arguably one of the best…

pac-man wedding cake: with this ring, i thee wokka, wokka, wokka

pac_man_grooms_cake_wedding

Looks like Mr. and Ms. Pac-Man finally got hitched. At least that’s what I first gleaned when I stumbled onto this geektastic Pac-Man wedding cake.

Actually, this wasn’t the main wedding cake, but actually a groom’s cake that blogger The Domestic Scientist recently made for a friend’s wedding. And while the cake is fully edible…

psp 3000, now polished with a plethora of pleasing lights

psp 3000 mod

Some mods look deceptively simple, like this customized PSP 3000. Sure, you see a few lights, and if you check out the in-progress pictures, you can even see more of the upgrades and fitting progress. But the end result is a disco inferno of lights and sounds that you’d never expect from looking at this…

gyromancer puzzle rpg is here to steal your days away

gyromancer square enix popcap

Move over, Puzzle Quest. You had a good run with the whole jewel-matching RPG hybrid, but the big boys have come to steal your throne… and rock our faces off. Gyromancer may be a little late (the Puzzle Quest folks already moved on to sci-fi), but it really doesn’t matter when this boat arrives. We already know it’s gonna…

gaming in space (almost, really)

nasa game astronaut

NASA wants to put you in space–sort of–and they’re willing to build an MMO to prove it. With Astronaut: Mars, Moon and Beyond, the folks behind the American space program hope to produce a game that will be to space what America’s Army was to, uh… American’s actual Army.

space invaders mailbox delivers first-class aliens

space_invaders_mailbox

It’s been a little while since we featured any Space Invaders around here. So here goes nothing…  Space… Invaders… Mailbox…

This special delivery comes to us courtesy of Nimcraft. While Nim thinks the mailbox invaders are “un-perfectly painted”, I don’t care. It’s way cooler than any of the mailboxes in my neighborhood.
