What a Wonderful Left4Dead

We’re big fans of Valve’s Left 4 Dead here at Dork Shelf.  YouTube user monkeyjunkie (one of the responsible for the Half-Life remake Black Mesa) put together a little machinima based on L4D set to the timeless music of Louis Armstrong.  Do yourself a favour and watch the HD version.

Video Games: An Animation

Faux Grindhouse 2012 Trailer

Vimeo user Garrison Dean has created a hilarious 1970’s grindhouse style trailer for Roland Emmerich‘s upcoming disaster-porn movie 2012. The video really illustrates how ridiculous Emmerich’s epic disaster movie is going to be, but we’ll all go to see the insane spectacle anyways.  Kudos to the maker of the video for using music from Incredible […]

What if Street Fighter II was Real?

Most people have played the arcade/Super Nintendo classic Street Fighter II at some point in their life.  Do you remember that weird bonus stage where the player was given a time limit to basically beat the crap out of car? I always thought it was really weird; but Japanese games have always been weird so […]

Doubt: The Video Game

Movie tie-in games are a dime a dozen: They are often quickly and cheaply produced, which more often than not results in a terrible finished product. Perhaps if more developers were willing to take a chance and create games based on Oscar nominated films like Doubt, movie tie-in titles wouldn’t have such a bad reputation.  […]

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYntjR4-pY4[/youtube] The Star Wars spoof  is a painstaking shot for shot re-imagining of the original Magnum, P.I. intro sequence, as […]
