15 Pictures of Video Game Graffiti, Street Art, and Downright Vandalism

jamie — Wed, 27 May 2009 18:11:57 +0000

As you may or may not know/care, I’ve been gone for a long time. Life without Internet is a terrible thing. However, rather than doing something more productive with my time, I decided to spend my Internet-less day(s) delving into shitty artwork – I vandalized my backyard with chalk. Ladies and gentlemen, this is my Mario mural in Silicon Valley, California. You can click on the pictures for higher resolutions.

To honor my great piece of work, I’ve decided to post it alongside other forms of video game vandalism. Please enjoy them after the break.

Join Wallace & Gromit in The Last Resort, the Newest Game from Telltale and Aardman

Say "CHEEEEESE"

SAN RAFAEL, CA, May 5, 2009 – Telltale and Aardman are announcing the release of The Last Resort, the latest of four monthly Wallace & Gromit games that open up the world of West Wallaby Street like never before. “The Last Resort” is available today for PC from www.telltalegames.com as part of the Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures series. The games will also be coming soon to Xbox LIVE® Arcade.

Telltale’s Wallace & Gromit games are like interactive films, with humorous storylines and creative characters conceived in collaboration with Aardman’s award-winning team. In the new episode, Wallace and Gromit’s Blackpool holiday is rained out, so the enterprising inventor and his clever dog bring the beach to their basement with the construction of West Wallaby Waterworld, a makeshift resort complete with sun, sand, and Wallace’s homemade boardwalk attractions. Keeping their guests satisfied turns out to be tricky business, particularly after one is thumped on the head by an unknown assailant. Everyone is a suspect! Now Wallace and Gromit must work together to finger the culprit, with a little help from Wallace’s latest invention: the Deductomatic.

Customers can purchase the Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures series from www.telltalegames.com, and the first two episodes, Fright of the Bumblebees and The Last Resort, will be delivered digitally with their checkout. The full series purchase from Telltale also includes the Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures Collector’s DVD, containing the four games plus bonus content for just the cost of shipping shortly after the finale episode. The third and fourth Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures episodes will release for PC in June and July.

Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures launched in March to rave reviews, with Yahoo! Games UK calling the premiere episode “Wallace and Gromit’s finest and best looking video game outing to date.” IGN awarded the episode with its coveted Editor’s Choice Award, saying, “Telltale nails the look and feel of a Wallace & Gromit short film.”

The four-episode Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures series sells for $34.95 (approx £24). To purchase the game, visit http://www.telltalegames.com/wallaceandgromit.

About Wallace & Gromit

Wallace
An endearing and affable inventor. Ever enthusiastic, Wallace’s hair-brained, over-ambitious, yet well intentioned ideas consistently get him and his faithful hound into trouble. A definite penchant for cheese and crackers, not to mention fashionable knitwear!

Gromit
Wallace’s long-suffering loyal pooch. Gromit cares greatly for Wallace even though he’s often railroaded into his master’s mad-cap plans. Though cultured and sensitive, preferring order and the quiet life, Gromit displays amazing courage and heroism when it comes to getting his master out of self-made scrapes. Always showing astonishing initiative, Gromit is definitely the intelligent one of the pair.

My favorite is probably “Super Mario World” by Mike Mitchell, solely because Yoshi is wearing a pair of Air Force Ones. What about you?

A 2k Austrailia Game dev decided to move on with his life. But before doing so, he made the above game to let people know… “I QUIT!” To play, use the arrow keys to move around and the spacebar to jump. Please note that if you are prone to epilipsy, you might not want to play this game. More after the break.

Honda’s Vimeo Page Takeover

Nelson — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 14:33:24 +0000

Homepage and childpage takeovers are nothing new in the web design ad agency industry. But the agency, Wieden + Kennedy from Amsterdam, takes traditional takeovers to a new level. Thanks in part to Vimeo’s cooperation with the idea, Honda’s new hybrid commercial leaps off of the usual flash video player box, and completely takes over the whole page. Check it out:
