25 Games That Will Push Graphical Boundaries In 2014

Rana Vikramaditya — Fri, 17 Jan 2014 13:21:35 +0000

Technology has scarcely ever failed to impress us. More so when considering how the gaming industry has been catapulted into a new realm every now and then with its ubiquitous presence. More recently, with the coming of the new-gen consoles that apart from offering a heightened gaming experience, promise some serious eye candy. Alongside, chip manufacturing giants NVidia and AMD coming up with their newer line of cards ensures a darn good array of graphics card for both, gamers and developers. We’ll have to keep a close eye on AMD’s Mantle API to see just how much further PC gaming’s visual side is gonna go. So far, none have failed to impress.

We all expect mind numbing stories and gameplays so immersive that we know not when to stop, particularly nowadays courtesy the fact that so many game ideas have been subjected to the ‘rinse repeat’ formula. Nonetheless, every once a while we all need a little something to let our eyes feast upon. So the following list of the upcoming games of 2014 is just for those of you folk who stop playing the game for a bit and go nuts over how ravishing those dust particles floating about in the sunlight streaming through the tiny crack in the dark room look while your character takes brutal blows from an Ogre’s cudgel, or how amazingly intricate the huge fissure on the mountain 700 feet away from you looks while you’re falling down to your death.

25. Project CARS

Coming out in late 2014, this title from Slightly Mad Studios is to be released on a number of platforms including the Steam OS. Project CARS promises a beautiful and enriching racing simulation experience. This game is at par with the graphical standards being set with every passing day.

Mario is one of the most iconic and instantly recognisable figures in videogames. Thousands of fans each year show up in Mario cosplay to various events the world over. It’s not just the fans though, with many famous celebrities and characters resembling everyone’s favourite plumber, albeit unintentionally.

We’ve brought together 25 of these dead ringers, complete with photo comparisons. Just remember, once you see the resemblance, you can’t un-see it!

Some of these celebrities have a close resemblance with the real thing, but as they say, original is original. Mario has that distinctive charm and a pleasant look about him that is so hard to match, and this is a testament to Nintendo’s design that they’ve managed to keep the character fresh after making plenty of Mario games for two decades. He is an iconic character and there is no disputing this fact.

Can you tell us which one closely resembles the real Mario? Leave your feedback in the comments section below.

25 Most Awkward Video Game Hardware Fails Of All Time

George Reith — Sun, 05 Aug 2012 07:43:09 +0000

The hardware part of the games industry is a usually positive place, with thousands of kids growing up with the success stories of the SNES and PS1, along with how Nintendo pulled the industry out of decline with the original Famicom back in 1983. In order for this story of Nintendo’s reversal of fortunes to work though, the industry had to be in complete decline to begin with, prompting the thought that there are probably more failures in the hardware sector than there are successes.

For every Playstation 2 quality console there are just as many Nokia N-Gage style designs out there, prompting the need to put them in order as us journalists so love doing. Read on for the 25 most awkward hardware related failures ever.
