What do you need to become Halo's iconic Master Chief? Well unless you work within NASA, some card, resin, fibreglass and a lot of time on your hands!

Whilst searching for an original fancy dress costume for my university's annual Summer Ball I stumbled across 405th.com. Here is the epicenter of everything related to amateur armour construction and a collection of Halo fans determined to don the Chief's shiny green helmet for themselves. Have a look at the pictures attached to see my own e...

When you woke up this morning, the Wii's disc drive was glowing blue signifying a new message had come in. Upon looking at that message, you read:

The channel was supposed to be released on Friday, but went live today. In Japan, this went my the moniker of the Everyone's Nintendo Channel (Minna no Nintendo Channel), first announced through the Fal...

I was walking through my local mall yesterday evening, and while I was reading the back of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare for the DS with one of my friends, I overheard a young man around my age asking one of the two Gamestop employees about Grand Theft Auto IV.

Some of you are probably saying "Okay, so you overheard a conversation about IV. What's so special about it? We already know it's going to kick ass." at this point. Well, let me explain. Yes, we believe it's going to be a great...

In a press release just released via e-mail that I happened to receive after having some less than pleasant conversations with the controversial attorney shortly after he blamed the NIU shooting on video games, Jack Thompson has stated that instead of waiting for a decision from Judge Dava Tunis about his ability to practice law in Florida, he will instead take the opportunity to end his career "on a high note."

Nice one, Jack... But what "high note" were you talking about? Killing a fax...

Thats right a real life heavenly sword was made, by no other then your truly. I made it in wood shop in school. Sadly enough our school doesn't have have metal shop so I had to make it out of wood.

Instead of making some stupid cabinet or a DVD shelf like the rest of the class, I decided to make something a little more original. I decided upon making the sword with a lot of people saying I won't be able to make it(proved them wrong ;)).

The sword is about 3 feet long and about 1 and a h...

The DualShock 3 – My impressions

Well I got my Play-Asia.com PS3 DualShock 3 controller today. Of course I tear into it and compare it to the Sixaxis. Amazingly there is no difference as far as you or I can see by simply looking at it other than the name “DUALSHOCK 3” printed on it. There is no USB cable shipped with it but for that matter I don’t think we get one with the new purchase of the Sixaxis either.

There is a very small weight difference, and I mean small. To me it still f...

"General Information - Athene is a paladin on Emeriss, but not just any paladin. His 5v5 team has dominated the realm for quite some time now being number one in the arena ladders. However this is not how Athene became popular. Over the course of one month he published a lot of clips on YouTube, with what some would define as "explicit content", which was not exactly the case. In fact there is nothing explicit in his videos and come to think of it, they are much more original and entertaining ..."

While going out on Saturday night I noticed a bright blue ring, glowing. First thing that came to my mind "omg, it's a portal". It was a sign / logo for a mini-mall but all it was, was a blue neon oval. Unfortunately because we were driving I couldn't get too many photos and they aren't the greatest quality either; Photos were taken with my iphone at night time + moving vehicle = not too great. The "portal" is located in Richmond, BC Canada.

Now, if only I had a weighted companion cube.

Lemmings is a classic games series and is known all over by many people. When the Playstation 3 was released last November Lemmings was one of the first games added to the store, and later on, when the PS3 was released in the UK in March, it was one of the Launch Games.

After the success of the Game, Sony have given details of an upcoming game - which is none other than - Lemmings 2.

Apart from a couple of screenshots, only the following features have been announced:

Blast Factor was quite popular on the Playstation Network, and now Sony have announced Blast Factor 2: Advanced Research, the sequel to Blast Factor. The game will contain similar gameplay to that in the original, but with newer levels and "enemies". Take a look at the screenshots below and be sure to talk about it in the Forums.

Londoner and www.WayoftheRodent.com stalwart Rocky Howard has had an idea. This idea is unlike many, in that he is setting out to play 4000 classic arcade games listed in Twin Galaxies’ official book of High Scores. His aim is simple... to fill his time with something fun when he should really be working... and also to add one more World Champion to Britain's roster of greats.

With each arcade game having a world record, he hopes to come across a record that is easy as pie to beat and his...

"Striving to empower the fortunes of girl gamers everywhere whilst also just so happening to have the coolest jobs in, like, you know, the entire world, the Frag Dolls are far from just a canny marketing ploy recruited by leading developer and publisher Ubisoft."

Here are some of the things you missed if you didn't attend this year's Square Enix Festival. A lot of things to be seen, demos to be tested and best of all, it appears it was all free of charge, unlike the previous Square party in 2005. It was attended by more people (about 80 000) and there you could preview a lot of upcoming and recently released (in Japan) titles such as:

Dragon Quest Swords (Wii)

Itadaki Street DS (a game which combines Dragon Quest and Super Mario characters)
