How’s this for a sound system upgrade? Teppei Okada, a violin maestro, gives a real time sound enhancement to Super Mario. In other news; you know you can download Halo music for Guitar Hero 3?

Games Workshop show off impressive new Warhammer gaming aids
I must admit I’m a big fan of any gaming mechanics that help enhance or contribute to the mood of the game. I think this video from Games Workshop shows how this approach can be applied to wargaming too. The video shows some in-theme measuring devices. Not only does this mean putting an end to […]

Axe fashion for Left 4 Dead survivors
How do you find the axe in Left 4 Dead 2? I think it’s a little slow – but I will admit it’s fun to go zombie chopping through the hordes as long as they don’t overwhelm you. One serious question is: where do you put your axe when you’re not using it? You can’t […]
