Are the funky beats of Jet Set Radio still ringing in your ears? The GG’s favorite station has been off the air since the early 2000s, but an underground group of music lovers are recapturing the spirit with a custom Internet radio station with tunes worthy of Professor K. Consisting of a number of different [...]
Tecmo Koei’s Dead or Alive series of fighters might have solid mechanics, but there’s no denying the gameplay plays second fiddle to its ladies — otherwise we’d have an all-male version of Xtreme Beach Volleyball. With Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate on the horizon, we take a look at one of the finer cosplays of [...]
Telltale Games has given franchises like Back to the Future and The Walking Dead the video game treatment, but what if King of the Hill got its own point-and-click adventure? Wonder no more: Fox Interactive Media has beaten Telltale to the punch with their own re-creation of Arlen, Texas. Based off of the (cancelled) Fox [...]
Developer Hideo Kojima, always a perfectionist, will be re-re-releasing the Metal Gear Solid series of games in the “definitive” Metal Gear Solid Legacy edition. In honor of this collection of fine games, we take a look at one of the soldiers from Outer Heaven — in cosplay form! Omi “AkiOmi” Gibson is part artist, part [...]
Political correctness runs rampant in gaming today, and I’m not just talking about what the ESRB deems appropriate. It seems as if almost every last hero and heroine must be a deathly serious dual gun-wielding warrior with rechargeable health, lest it wishes to spend some time in the bargain bin with countless other fallen heroes. [...]
Keeping with Capcom’s time-honored tradition of re-releasing every single game in their library, Street Fighter IV will be receiving yet another revision later this year through the version 2013 patch. The game might be different, but characters like Cammy still hold their charm after all these years. Thankfully, many cosplayers agree. Cosplayer Katta “Umi Kani” [...]
Poker is universal. From the flashiest casino to the tiniest watering hole, this time-tested game can be found the world over. That has not stopped Telltale Games from Doubling Down with Poker Night at the Inventory 2, a new version of their poker series that brings familiar faces and familiar rules to the table. Will [...]
The Internet exploded in a sea of hype when Nintendo finally announced a sequel to The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past after 20 years. The titular princess has seen a lot of makeovers in the past two decades, but only one cosplay artist has shown her love for every last one. Cosplay [...]
Nintendo has given a lot of love to its properties, but one series consistently left by the wayside is Duck Hunt. Those with an itchy trigger finger best keep waiting, but that doesn’t mean the NES classic has been left unforgotten. One fan has brought the classic back to life — and on a pinball [...]
I have a confession to make: I’ve never read a comic book in my life. However, I am a huge fighting game fan, and I’ve got the fight stick and blisters to prove it. Thankfully NetherRealm Studio’s new fighter Injustice: Gods Among Us hopes to turn Batman and Superman into the next Ryu and Ken. [...]
Gamers Heroes’ recent Supergirl cosplay feature may have been a harsh reminder of her absence in Injustice: Gods Among Us, but Batman’s very own Catwoman thankfully made the cut. Fans are no doubt overjoyed at this inclusion, including the very talented cosplay veteran Yaya Han. Donning a custom-made costume with more than 100 seams and [...]
With systems like the PlayStation 4 ditching backwards compatibility, getting your old-school gaming fix is turning into a lost art. Hardcore gamers could always keep their consoles hooked up 24/7 in a tangle of wires and cables, but one truly creative gamer has redefined BC by combining a whopping 15 systems into one. Dubbed “Project [...]
Upcoming fighter Injustice: Gods Among Us is almost here, pitting DC’s finest against one another in a battle for the ages. Choosing the best of the best for this game’s roster is no small feat, meaning heroes like Supergirl did not make the cut. However, we at Gamers Heroes haven’t forgotten about her, and neither [...]
Ryu Hayabusa is back on the scene once again with the re-release Ninja Gaiden III: Razor’s Edge. With his game polished to a shine, it seems fitting that any cosplay of this ninja would need to be of the highest caliber. Thankfully, there is one man worthy of wielding the Dragon Sword. Cosplay aficionado Dan [...]
The Ouya has finally arrived, bringing hundreds of games to its early adopters. Granted not all of these Android-based titles will be the next Mario, but success has never come from ripping off the competition. Somebody should have told that to the folks behind Era’s Adventures 3D, a game featuring an awfully familiar dino. Created [...]
How does one become a god? Ask Brandon White: this diehard God of War recently channeled Kratos in a series of live-action ads for God of War: Ascension. His chiseled physique is not completely out of the reach of mere mortals – if you’re willing to work for it. Featured in the April 2013 issue [...]
The hype train for BioShock Infinite is three years in the making, yet even the most diehard fan knows little about the inhabitants of Columbia – save one. Appearing in almost every trailer for the game, the damsel-in-distress Elizabeth has built quite the following for herself, one that extends to the world of cosplay. She [...]
Sonic Generations was a great romp into Sonic’s 20-year history, but even the most diehard fan would admit that the whole ordeal was faster than the blue blur himself. However, that has not stopped fans from adding new content into the game…or in the case of the Unleashed Project, a brand new game. Completely revamping [...]
It’s the first day of PAX East 2013, yet con-goers and Internet folk alike are going gaga over the recent reveal of DuckTales Remastered, a remake of the NES platformer/cartoon tie-in DuckTales. However, there are three major things that make it seem like a cash grab worthy of Scrooge McDuck. WayForward’s Track Record With Licensed [...]
Capcom may be no stranger to remakes, but their Darkstalkers series of fighting games has remained deep in the shadows since the 90s (with only a PSP port to its name). After more than 10 years, Iron Galaxy hopes to give the series a new lease on life with Darkstalkers Resurrection on XBLA and PSN, [...]
