Taco Bell’s Dr. Robotnik Platter

Posted in News by MashedButtons


Either this is a delicious coincidence (the best kind!) or the Taco Bell display design team has a Sonic fan in their ranks. A hawk-eyed user over at Neogaf spotted this delicious piece inadvertent Sonic marketing at a Taco Bell and thought it looked awfully familiar. The trademark beard makes the platter looks suspiciously like [...]

Nintendo just spilled the beans on a whopping 120 game line-up for the Wii and DS in 2009. Let’s cut the fat, though, and get to the good stuff. Punchout!! is uppercutting the mess out of us on May 18th. Out of nowhere comes a new, Wii Wheel accessible, Excitetruck-esque title called Excitebots: Trick Racing, [...]

PixelPlay: Evasive Space

Posted in PixelPlay by Frank Duff


PixelPlay is a review of downloadable console games, both classic and contemporary. In either case, PixelPlay brings you a fresh perspective, untainted by nostalgia.
Evasive Space is a beautiful game. The vibrantly colourful visuals are reminiscent enough of Geometry Wars to almost constitute homage and its gameplay seems initially similar, with its top down flying and [...]


In the same vein (though not from the same dude) as this friggin’ intense t-shirt, artist Tom Rhodes has put up some absolutely beautiful re-imaginings of classic and contemporary video game characters through a lens of realism. Sonic and Knuckles particularly struck me; I’d kill to play a Sonic game with this dude doing the [...]


There has been a lot of misinformation floating around the internet regarding the steps necessary to unlock the characters Akuma and Gouken in Capcom’s new Street Fighter IV. I’ve run across 4 or 5 different takes myself. Well, Capcom has stepped up to end the madness and released the real method to get [...]
