Every playable character in Team Fortress 2 is a dude. But the recent release of an artist’s old work shows that Valve at least toyed with the idea of introducing women into the game’s roster.

Want to skip playing a very good video game and just catch up on that very good video game’s story? Andy Gilleand has you covered with this “movie” that covers Uncharted: The Lost Legacy’s plot in just under, um, four hours.

Reminder: children born post-smartphones/tablets have not been conditioned to use buttons.

The Journey Down, a point-and-click adventure series blending sci-fi with “Afro-Caribbean vibes” that’s been running since 2010, is wrapping up with the release of its third and final chapter.

Our post on the concept art behind the first Destiny remains one of the best (and easily the biggest) Fine Art has ever put together. So it’s a pleasure today to begin the process for Destiny 2.

Now that Zelda: Breath of the Wild is running pretty well on the PC, it’s time for people to start messing it with. Like turning Link into Carl Johnson from GTA: San Andreas, or Steve from Minecraft.

Batman: Arkham Knight, a video game about driving a secret tank, came out in 2015. The merch is still rolling in though, and while normally that wouldn’t be cause for general concern, this 33-inch statue is some hilariously intricate fanservice.

Game of Thrones is shot in some pretty exotic locations, and also has some great CG work, but not everything you see on the screen is a mix of real life and computer wizardry. There’s still room for good old-fashioned matte painting when it comes to the scenic backdrops.

The latest issue of Heterotopias, a very cool magazine about video games and architecture, is out on September 22. It’s got pieces on bathrooms and Mirror’s Edge Catalyst, among other things.

Super Metroid has one of the most famous themes in video games. If you’ve ever wondered where it came from, you’ve got the nightmarish working conditions of 1990s video game development (and some impromptu one-man karaoke) to thank for it.

The real joy of the Dishonored games isn’t in sneaking around. It’s in messing with the game’s systems to do dumb shit like spending four hours lining up every body you could find in a level just...because you can.

Goodbye Angelina Jolie, hello Alicia Vikander.

Here’s Calssara as Ann, from Persona 5. Photos by Captured.

Liz Edwards is an artist who, in a previous life, was a 3D character artist at Total War developers Creative Assembly. She is now a 3D artist in a more direct sense.

For the first time in competition history, the English Premier League is allowing teams to put sponsors on a jersey’s sleeves. Everton announced theirs the other day, and it’s...Angry Birds.

That’s not a specific character. It’s a suit of armour made entirely out of Magic cards.

Robin Florie is a concept artist based in the Netherlands. The last game he worked on is Walking Dead: March to War, a mobile strategy game based on the comic/TV series.

Battlefield Heroes, my favourite Battlefield game, died an inglorious death when it tried to walk a free-to-play tightrope and fell clean off. It was a cool game with incredible visuals, though, so of course a group of fans have salvaged the code and brought it back.
