I knew this would happen. From the day I set eyes on the Teletubbies, I knew that they would overthrow their masters, breed, and stalk the Earth, attacking all those who stand in their way.

Half-Life 2 modder replaces all sounds with his own voice

Yes, this is as brilliant as is sounds. This mod, made by user “-Trase-”, does exactly as it says on the tin- replaces all the sounds (well, nearly all) with sound clips he’s recorded himself. I particularly like the machine-gun fire noises he’s made. This is why I love modding communities so much. It’s not [...]

I say “was” because Square Enix have sent the fans a Cease-and-Desist letter, letting them know that if the project is released, there will be a lawsuit. The mod “featured ~35 hours of game play, 10 multiple endings, and [...]

[vimeo width="510" height="269"]http://www.vimeo.com/4218812[/vimeo] Atari has already made it pretty clear that the PS3/Xbox 360 and Wii versions of Ghostbusters: The Video Game are different stylistically, and this new trailer makes it absolutely clear.
