Mods-Hacks
People actually donated $2,000 to get the Resident Evil Game Boy Color rom
The year was 1999 and Capcom was right in the middle of its Resident Evil port-a-thon. If there was a system that was making money, Capcom was looking into putting Resident Evil on it. The Game Boy Color was one of those systems, and HotGen Studios was working on the port. However, it never happened. more »
Skyrim mod turns dragons into Fluttershy from My Little Pony
I hope you’re not eating lunch right now, because what you’re about to see might just ruin it. People like to mod PC games. You know, make them extra special with extra features, characters, equipment and scenarios. The Elder Scroll V: Skyrim is one of those kinds of games. Know what people also like? That more »
Hacker already gets Vita running Genesis games
You may not like Sony, but you have to feel bad for their handhelds. The PSP was an easy target for pirates, as many people turned to custom firmware that was incredibly simple to install on the systems. I mean hell, if you had a PSP with the right kind of official firmware you could more »
Skylanders are serious business
Whenever a nifty new gadget comes along, there are going to be people who will take it apart for fun to see how it works and how it could be made to work with other things. Brandon Wilson is one of those people. After hearing about Activision’s Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure game, which uses a portal more »
The first Project AM2R demo is out
What’s an AM2R? Glad you asked! It’s actually what DoctorM64 refers to the Another Metroid 2 Remake project as. Which makes sense, as it’s much easier to say. Not that it matters after all, as that’s just a temporary name for this fan project which takes a fresh look at the Game Boy Metroid 2 classic with fresh graphics and a little bit of new content.
Right now, AM2R is still in the early stages. However, substantial progress has been made and there’s even something pretty awesome to see. There’s a trailer to watch an a demo to download…
GLaDOSiri is the future
Some of the best internet videos come from creative minds with free time on their hands. Jeff Heimbuch is one of those minds, and he has come up with what is and will probably always be the best take on Apple’s iPhone 4S Siri function. That’s because Heimbuch is a fan of Portal 2, and saw how Siri could be improved by adding in a little GLaDOS.
The result is a slight alteration of the Apple Siri commercial. It’s mostly the same video you all remember from Apple’s big meeting this week, but only mostly. A very important detail has been changed, turning a simple virtual assistant into the best virtual assistant ever…
Xperia Play’s PSOne emulator hacked, now can play PSOne ISOs
Sony is not going to be happy today. See, somebody’s just figured out a way to crack open its latest baby, the Xperia Play. The Xperia Play is a smartphone with the ability to play original PlayStation games on it, and until now people had to make do with the PSOne games Sony was releasing via the PlayStation Suite. I say until now, because an Android developer named Yifan Lu found a way to get the phone’s included emulator to recognize game files not acquired through Sony.
What makes Yifan Lu’s work special is that it’s actually based entirely on the PlayStation emulator Sony has built into the Xperia Play…
Super tiny Space Invaders arcade cabinet coolest toy under 9 cubic inches
Like most every other gamer past the age of 30, I spent many an hour in the videogame arcade.
Arcades used to be a staple of every shopping mall, every other strip mall and even a few standalone places to kill some quarters. There are still a few such places sprinkled around but they’re pale shadows of what arcades used to be. even Disney’s Penny Arcade has but a few games of yesteryear.
Even Anonymous doesn’t know who they are or whether or not they hacked Sony
Anonymous: an online community of hackers notorious for hacking into government sites and sticking it to ‘the man’. Their activities include releasing government information about war crimes, striking back at anti-piracy enforcers, and generally sticking up for the little guy, whoever they think he is. Note the motto on the flier. It almost sounds like something out of a movie, but this real (if loose) group of people actually exists, and up until recently, was viewed with some admiration by gamers, who can only imagine that hackers are gamer geeks as well (after all, gamers use computers just like Anonymous, right?).
George Hotz denies involvement with PSN hack
It’s not too surprising that in the midst of the PSN debacle, that George Hotz’s (AKA Geohot) name would come up at least once. After all, the hacker has been embroiled in a legal battle with Sony for the last several months. However, on his personal blog, Hotz strongly denies that he had anything to do with the PSN security breach.
