Geeked-Out: Bronze Samus Statue

by Dylan Duarte on June 20, 2009 at 1:22 pm

Bronze Samus Aran

Never underestimate a video game fan with some sort of artistic ability. This statue comes from the Deviant Art page of red3138. Check out his gallery to see his other work, which includes an equally awesome Samus Aran action figure.

Well, it wouldn’t surprise me if you didn’t instantly recognize it as the girl in question usually covers it up. Not here, though. Read on to see our number 6 pick, but remember: some content may be considered ‘Not Safe For Work’. Read more…

While the debate over videogames as art continues to rage, Joshua Cadmium has taken it upon himself to make art out of videogames. Specifically, Samus Aran. Read more…

This has got to be the best Metriod Cosplay (a portmanteau of the English words “costume” and “play”) that I have ever laid eyes on. Check out some more of her Samus Aran photos after the jump. Read more…

We are working away on bringing our readers the “King Of The Game” series but wanted to share some early sketches with you in the mean time. Artwork by Kristoffer

There will be 32 different characters competing for the recognition of being pixel for pixel the baddest that ever called a console home. If you would like to take a look at the rest of the line ups you can check them out here. Enjoy.

thirty-two-enter-only-one-will-be-crowned-king-of-the-game

This is what we have all been waiting for … a battle for the ages, and the time is now. We have assembled 32 of the finest video game characters that have ever called a console home, and a five round single elimination tournament of speed, skill, strength, and determination stands between them and being named pixel for pixel the baddest that ever was, the “King of the Game”.

Can Marcus Fenix roadie run his way through a bullet blazing, one liner laden, no holds barred battle with the one and only Duke Nukem? Will Metal Gear’s main man Snake slither his way to victory against the Splinter Cells triclops, Sam Fisher? Metriod’s Samus Aran, or the combat evolved Master Chief? The king of cold: Sub Zero or the queen of hot: Lara Croft?

We here at ripten have been working for over two months, researching, arguing, and eating lots of junk food, all in the name of bringing you an accurate account of each characters quest for video game immortality. Read more…
