There are already a ton of fantastic Zelda manga adaptations out there (the Ocarina and Majora’s ones especially good), but reader King Zombie figures there’s also space to tell a more original story. So he’s started drawing his own. Looks cool!

Nice orange suit there, Mr. Damon. Coming to theaters later this year is Ridley Scott’s next sci-fi movie, The Martian, adapted from Andy Weir’s novel about an astronaut stranded on Mars. Matt Damon plays Mark Watney, that astronaut on Mars, and while we posted a “first look” a few months ago, this is really the photo everyone’s been waiting to see. Well, everyone should wait to see the trailer for this – because the footage is going to be the most impressive part. Then again, if you’re a space suit nerd this may be your moment to flip out. The shot (which looks like a magazine scan) shows Damon in his astronaut suit for his mission to Mars, on the ARES III. It’s a cool shot, with some of the Martian landscape reflecting in his visor. Check it out. ›››

One of the few games announced for the HTC Vive headset, which uses Steam’s virtual reality technology, is the zombie apocalypse-themed Arizona Sunshine, developer Vertigo Games has announced.
“Arizona Sunshine is a VR shooter built and optimized for room-scale VR from the ground up,” Vertigo Games said. “Step into the midst of a zombie apocalypse as if you were really there, and defend yourself against enemies close enough to touch. A custom-built physical animation system makes striking your undead enemies more thrilling and satisfying than ever before.”
Arizona Sunshine will use HTC Vive’s motion controllers to let you handle, fire, and reload your weapon, and Vertigo Games said the game is built in “bite-sized chunks,” allowing you to jump in for just a few minutes or for longer sessions.
Vertigo Games previously developed World of Diving, a multiplayer underwater adventure that supports the Oculus Rifts. It’s also currently developing another game for the HTC Vive, Skyworld, a turn-based strategy game.

Carmageddon: Reincarnation, which revives the “points for pedestrians” destruction derby-style car game series, is finally out of Steam Early Access. The game was released earlier this week after being delayed from its original April 22 launch date.
“In 1997, a videogame was released that caused establishment scandal and media hysteria around the world,” developer Stainless Games said. “Banned in some countries, censored in others, and even condemned by a Pope [not the actual Pope, but a British minister of parliament named Pope], overnight it became the poster child for everything that’s wrong in society… and therefore right in a videogame…And now, Stainless Games is proud to announce the FULL RELEASE of the latest ground-breaking game in the series.”
The final game’s Career Mode spans 16 chapters, each including 3-4 events, with 50 events to compete in overall. The multiplayer mode will allow up to eight players online or over LAN, and includes six event types: Classic Carmageddon, Car Crusher, Fox ‘n’ Hounds, Ped Chase, Death Race, and Checkpoint Stampede.
There are also nine maps, 36 race routes, and 24 vehicles to choose from, unless you were a Kickstarter backer, which will get you a special edition bonus car.
The game was funded on Kickstarter in 2012 with over $625,000, and in 2013 Stainless Games raised an additional $3.5 million from Bullfrog Productions founder Les Edgar, which the developer said would allow it to bring Carmageddon: Reincarnation to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 as well as PC.

Arrowhead Game Studios is working on a big, free update to its Gauntlet reboot which will significantly improve the original release, the developer has said.
“In truth, we were never fully satisfied with how Gauntlet turned out,” Arrowhead’s game director Emil Englund said in a post to Arrowhead’s official site. “So, rather than just fixing little things here and there, we have been working on the core of the game to turn it into what we originally envisioned.”
Englund didn’t get into specifics, but said that the update will include improvements to the Campaign, Colosseum, as well as an entirely new game mode.
Gauntlet was originally released in September 2014. The game, which is a reboot of the 1985 original, got a fair score of 6/10 in GameSpot’s review. Earlier this year, Arrowhead released another top-down four-player cooperative game called Helldivers, which got a great score of 8/10 in GameSpot’s review.

Battlefield 4‘s spring update, which adds new guns and a new mode to the multiplayer first-person shooter, will release this Tuesday May 26, developer DICE has announced.
The update will hit all platforms according the following schedule:
In addition to the old Gun Master mode from Battlefield 3. The patch will add five new weapons, and while DICE didn’t share their exact names and look, it gave us a general idea for what to expect:
Gun Master, which gained its popularity in the Battlefield 3: Close Quarters DLC, is like Team Deathmatch, but you only get new weapons every time you get two consecutive kills, and the first player to get a kill with the final weapon wins.
The patch will also “significantly improve client stability on all platforms,” fix a number of issues that cause crashes, and rebalance all weapons, which you can read about in greater detail here.
DICE said that it will release full patch notes once the update is released.

Bandai Namco Studios Vancouver and Crossy Road developer Hipster Whale are working on a new Pac-Man mobile game called Pac-Man 256, the companies have announced.
The game is named after the infamous 256 glitch. When players reached that level in the original Pac-Man arcade machine, half the screen turned into a garbled mess of random characters. Hipster Whale and Bandai Namco say that in Pac-Man 256, the player will be chased by the glitch through an endless maze.
In short, the game sounds and looks like a mix between Crossy Road and Pac-Man.
“Playing PAC-MAN in a seaside arcade in 1980 is one of my earliest memories,” Hipster Whale Director Matthew Hall said. “It is an incredible honor to be able to contribute to one of the most iconic video game franchises in history. Our game, PAC-MAN 256, takes the infamous ‘glitch’ level of PAC-MAN and builds upon this to become a unique game that retains the retro spirit of the original.”
Crossy Road, in case you haven’t played it, is an incredibly successful “endless hopper” mobile game inspired by Frogger. For more on the game, check out GameSpot’s interview with Hipster Whale’s Andy Sum and Matthew Hall.
