But as great as this piece is, it’s terribly sad, because I cannot play giant Tetris…. This is just begging]]> Swedish artist Erik Johansson has both delighted and disappointed me today. His digital art and image manipulation is top notch, and anything influenced by Tetris is of course awesome. But as great as this piece is, it’s terribly sad, because I cannot play giant Tetris.

This is just begging for someone to make a flash game for this concept: using a crane to manipulate giant tetrominoes in order to build something. Or take another cue from Johansson and cook up a game based on playing Tic-Tac-Toe in an unfinished road. Yes, in, not on.

Classic games are perfect for these kinds of digital art. I’d hate to see what this guy could do with something like Call of Duty….

Nightzero’s homage to the zombie apocalypse shooter combines photography, digital art, and yes, okay, cosplay. The result? Near perfect. Though the principles only slightly resemble their video game counterparts,]]> It’s really not fair to call this brilliant photoset cosplay; instead, we should call this recreation of Left 4 Dead art. Nightzero’s homage to the zombie apocalypse shooter combines photography, digital art, and yes, okay, cosplay. The result? Near perfect.

Though the principles only slightly resemble their video game counterparts, the care taken with costumes and photomanipulation make this recreation something really special. But anyone can put on a red hoodie and yell, “Ammo here!” The question is, will your friends save you when that Hunter sneaks up on you?

It’s never a good idea to go it alone in Left 4 Dead, and it’s nice to see that even that detail shows up in these photos. Also in these? Some guy. Who knows. Guess they needed a fifth for the title… which happens to be Left 5 Dead. Hey, when you’re fighting off a city full of hungry undead, it’s good to have an extra guy.
