Adventure Games Are Much Better in Stop-Motion

Remember The Neverhood? The all-clay adventure game from 1996? Doug TenNapel, its creator, is joining forces with Pencil Test Studios to bring you Armikrog, a spiritual sequel starring a crash-landed alien and his talking dog. They're raising $ 900,000 through Kickstarter. Good luck to them!

The World's Coolest Iron Man Game Is Still GTA IV—and It's Even Better

Five months ago, modder H1Vltg3 gave us an Iron Man script for Grand Theft Auto IV, and it was already loads better than the official Iron Man moviegame of 2008. With another five months' worth of polish, it's even better.

Repulsor rays and the chest beam have better sound effects and a lot more oomph. Jarvis talks to you when you slam into the ground or the side of a building. Melee attacks look like someone's really getting hit by powered armor.

Hey, Facebook. Your 'Like' Button Is Ugly. Here Are Better Options.

Can you guess which games each of these icons represent?

I don't know about you guys, but I'm pretty tired of seeing the bulky, medical-blue 'Like' button on every website and, increasingly, coffee shops and other random locations boasting their profile pages and begging for interest.

But if they were video game-themed, like those above, they might be more fun and less of an eyesore. Maybe Facebook could take some cues from the artist, Lucas Felipe.

Now you just have to guess which icon matches which game, using our nifty image annotation feature.
