Now that’s impressive. YouTube’s ‘James Farr’ has posted a parody video that mixes together Star Wars universe and storyline with Nintendo’s characters. As its description reads, when Phantom Lord Ganon-Darth unveils his latest weapon, it will be up to Link Skywaker to learn the ways of the TRIFORCE, and lead a rag-tag rebellion against the Empire. It doesn’t matter if you are a fan of Nintendo’s characters, as this video is too good to simply pass by. Enjoy!

Last week, Theory Interactive released a gameplay teaser for its upcoming first person puzzle game, Reset. A lot of people – included us – were impressed by its visuals and wanted to learn more about this PC exclusive title. In an interview with Mikko Kallinen, co-founder, programmer and composer at Theory Interactive who worked previously at Futuremark, we found out that Reset is powered by Nvidia’s PhysX middleware and that it features a world area of 16 square kilometers.

Well, that was fast. Yesterday, a FOV tool was released by the Fovely community and today we found out – thanks Mikah – that this tool has been taken down after some legal threats from Activision. As you can clearly see, the download link has been replaced with the message “link removed due to a friendly threat from everyone’s favorite publishing firm.”
Reef Entertainment has released a new gameplay trailer for Rambo: The Video Game. Rambo: The Video Game is an on-rails shooter that features destructible terrain, cover-based shooting and rag-doll physics. Now I’ll be honest here; this is not a great looking game. Yes, PC gamers will most probably be able to improve its visuals thanks to SweetFX, but its vanilla version is nothing that will wow you. Apart from that, it looks kind of fun so if the game is priced at the correct price, then we can’t find a reason not to at least give it a shot. Enjoy! Continue reading Rambo: The Video Game Gets A New Gameplay Trailer
Aris Juson has informed us about a new live action fan film based on Splinter Cell: Blacklist. This film is twelve minutes long and follows a covert agent who infiltrates an Engineer stronghold to rescue his partner. The overall acting is surprisingly well and I’d love to see more short films – that are based on video-games – from these guys. Seriously now, it’s a polished and well executed short film. The only downside is that they have overused anamorphic lens-flares and I believe we can all say that JJ Abrams wants them back. Apart from that, Splinter Cell – Extraction is a fan film that you really need to check out! Continue reading Splinter Cell – Extraction Is A Great Live-Action Fan Film With Lots Of Lens Flares
