If you appreciate the artwork that appears in 2 player fighting games (Street Fighter, King of Fighters etc) then you'll absolutely love this site. In fact, they have a profile on EVERY fighting game character around! 639 characters! In every profile, you get tonnes of drawings, sketches, in-game shots, and sprite character animations ripped out of the games themselves!!
I'm not sure if this is all done by one guy, but it is one immensely gigantic gallery of great game art. I must say that…
The expectations that games will be moddable and playable online are high for every release these days. So what happens when a popular game doesn't come with the tools to edit it? People band together and start hacking and providing the tools themselves! Grand Theft Auto 3 is hugely popular, and the only option of making any changes in the game are skinning your character. Aparently, that's not enough. Now you can model your own cars, and even build your own city! Incredible.. The…

Make sure you pick up a copy of Digital Media World (August 2002) as they have a double page spread on Krome Studios. It gives some insights to the workings at Krome whilst Ty, the Tasmanian Tiger is in production, along with some details of the game itself.
Did you ever wonder why the Xbox was doing so poorly in Japan? This article may explain it all!
"I?m about to leave, but I spy a flash of green in the corner of my eye. I head down, past one of the rows of PS2 games, past the DVDs, then past the porn DVDs, and there, I find a small pile of Xbox units stacked unceremoniously in the corner. Right along side DVD delights such as ?Ugly Black Man?s Dangerous Copulation? and ?Horny Nurse pie secrets?

Got this from Geoffry.com.au. There is a 3D Studio Max conference in Fremantle, Western Australia. They'll be presenting and covering all the new features of 3D Studio Max 5, with special guests, open discussions, and other funky stuff. It doesn't cost anything to attend, so if you've got nothing to do on the 27th of AUGUST in W.A, you might want to check it out..
Ok, I was pretty floored when I heard that there was a new Rygar happening, but this has made my day. System 3 (yes, they're still around! although they call themselves Studio 3 now) have been working on... The Last Ninja 4 !!! I absolutely loved the series on the C64!! There are tonnes of screenshots here, and this is the place to find out news for this title. Also, here's a page of info on what the game is about. It sure does look like a Last Ninja title, with some very familiar settings (…
Gamersclick has a review of LeMans 24 Hours on PC. The original Playstation 2 game by Melbourne Houses' racing game was ported by Torus.. Some not-so-good words about the conversion though. Read the article here!
Games Domain has an article about Activation's Activate conference which was held in Dublin recently. They had this to say about Doom II on the Gameboy Advance, which was done by Torus.
"Doom II on GBA was frankly amazing. It was fast, smooth, playable and managed to capture the sheer feel of the PC original all on a little screen. Monsters were more plentiful than the first title on the handheld, yet Nintendo's machine barely battered an electronic eyelid."
Sounds good! Read the article here.
