Whenever you think of those cute little Space Invaders, think again! They where actually quite realistic top-down, representation of the actual space ships. So, if you ever thought they where bugs, your proven wrong.Want these on a T-Shirt? You're in luck, check at threadless.

I came accross this smart advergame from a Dutch insurance company. Just make sure you've got plenty of iPhones laying around to play it. It uses bluetooth to sync the different devices together.

A bit weird, but I thought it was worth a mention nonetheless. It is not a condition you suffer when playing lot's of games. But it's something for the ladies to show their love for gaming. Take a look. What do you think!

1500 hours of painstakingly putting all those Lego blocks together and taking shots of them have created this enjoyable piece of 8Bit Lego art. Created by the Swedish duo Rymdreglage. Tomas Redigh created the animation and it's combined with a nice original chiptune composition by Daniel Larsson.You will spot some memorable images of the C64 version IK+ Karate Characters, a rotozoomer effect,

At the Mario AI competition programmers are creating artificial intelligence to guide Mario through the levels. As you can see from the video below this can result in some speedy time-runs.The competition is based on a heavily modified version of the Infinite Mario Bros game by Markus Persson. That game is an all-Java tribute to the Nintendo's seminal Super Mario Bros game, with the added benefit

This is it. The first official pic of the new PS3 Slim. In a move that surprised absolutely no one, Sony went ahead and officially announced the PS3 Slim at their Gamescom Press Conference in Germany today. Kaz Hirai took the stage to show it off, and stated that it would launch worldwide the first week of September. It’s smaller and lighter than the current PS3, but has all the same features.

When you watch the latest Xbox commercial below it might give you a bit of a LittleBigPlanet feeling. It's the music ofcourse that is you probably would associate with LBP. But before you start yelling 'Rip off' you might like to know it's a song from The Go! Team.The Go! Team is a six piece band from Brighton, England founded by Ian Parton. The song is called 'Get It Together'.In the video below

This game(collection) from Capri Sun has already been out for a while, but I didn't notice it up until today.The intro graphics are nicely done with cute 3D animations.The games however are a mixed bunch. But luckily you can choose which game you want to play. You aren't forced to go through all of them.Play the Disrepectoids game.

Playing casual games seems to beneficial to your health. Or at least has a positive effect on your stress levels.

I can't wait to play Colin McRae: Dirt2. The visuals are stunning, and the gameplay of the original Dirt was a joy! Even if this is going to be more of the same, this will be a great game. The onboard navigation during the cockpit view is a welcome addition.Take a look at this latest clip from the game which will be released on September 8th in the US, September 10th in Europe and September 11th

Bryan Brewer, ex 3D-Realms modeller and animator, has released some gameplay footage after the recent closure of the studio.There is a really slim chance this game will ever see the light of day as it has been under development since 1997. DNF was officially first announced in April 1997, and promotional information for the game was released in one form or another in 1997, 1998, 1999, 2001, 2007,

An entertaining platformer that is themed around the Fairly Odd Parents cartoon.The controls are not completely intuitive which keeps you from completely getting into the game. The graphics and animations are great and are in line with the series. The music has been taken right from the series and supports the look and feel. The sound effects could have been a bit more varied, but hey do their

What is the most popular casual game genre? When I would ask you this question 3 years ago you would most certainly reply with 'match-3' or 'bejeweled'. Boy, that where some crazy times. But even now, 9 year after the post apocalyptic Y2K bugs we see the following trends. This is the top 31. Hidden Object (Mystery P.I. - The NY Fortune, Liong - The lost amulets)2.

If you've watched the news lately you have seen images of the US Airways airbus crashing into the Hudson river. Now hardcore Flight Sim players have used their favorite game to reconstruct the event. It shows that such a game/simulator gives players the ability to create a better view and understanding of the situation within moments after the event. As it obviously lacks the scientific data from
