The Nintendo Dragon, Sadly Only Concept Art

Don’t you wish your Wii was as cool as this concept design by Elliot Ortiz? The console itself is hidden away inside a beautiful and eye-catching pink shell. A shell designed specifically to become the focal point of your room.

Looking at this incredibly cool design, then looking at my current-gen black and white bricks under the TV almost makes me sad. Why can’t you be cool and pink, dammit?!

I would go on about the cool little feet, the sleek black front or the matching, and equally awesome, mini-speakers and Wiimote, but I have to go and attack my Wii with some paint right now.

Nintendo, I hope you’re taking note.

Fan Made Bioshock 2 Artwork

If (like me) BioShock was your game of last year, then this fan made artwork may just help tide you over until the prequel, BioShock 2, starts to propagate the web with official art and news. Created by Ben Mauro as part of his Architecture course, which concentrated on the scenes and environments, the artwork paints a very organic and familiar scene.

Keeping the same steam-punk feel from the original game, the pictures show Mauro’s vision of BioShock 2 — giant metal whale and all.

The pictures could be any old industrial environment, until you spot the iconic Big Daddy, from then on, the pictures take on a much more familiar tone. Imagining little sisters innocently wondering around, Andrew Ryan building his empire or Dr. Tennenbaum nearing completion of her research into ADAM — I can almost taste Rapture.

Ok, maybe I’m just getting a little too excited over this artwork, but I think I just found my desktop background for the next few months.
