Kid Icarus is one of the coolest games ever made. If you’ve never played it you never had an NES. Pit is an angel who has been trapped in the Underworld. He’s given a magical bow by Palutena, Goddess of Light, to help destroy Medusa, Goddess of Darkness, and restore peace to the world. Pit is awesome.

There are rumors that Kid Icarus is going to be revived.

The artwork we’ve published comes from a pitch document we got our hands on in the early part of 2008. Since then, sources have told us the game’s artwork has advanced considerably. Despite this artwork not being reflective of the game’s current standing, we’ve decided to share it so fans can get a look at what Factor 5 has experimented with.

The last nugget of information we have to share with you is in regards to the game’s plot. At the time of the document’s writing, Factor 5 had imagined a plot starring a grown-up, adult Pit, who is “cursed for thousands of years for a crime and becomes a ‘fallen angel.’” The pitch adds that “a tattoo on Pit’s arm bears the inscription of Pit’s crime.”

As if you didn’t have enough Space Invaders crap in your home, they have now invaded your kitchen and want to help you chop your Earthly food for consumption. It does have an awesome retro look.

Slam your knife down on this guy again and again in revenge for quarters lost in the 80’s.

Tetris addicts have to get their game on whenever they can. There’s not always a game console handy after all. You’ll be slightly pissed off however, to find out that this “Chocolate bar” is not edible. The object of the “game” is to fit all of the chocolate-looking pieces into the included clear container.

Sorry, but I can’t get past the fact that it looks like chocolate and I can’t eat it. This makes it actually more frustrating then a real game of Tetris. It will cost you $7 and a trip to the nearest store where you can get candy.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been looking for Waldo everywhere for years and haven’t found the bastard yet. I almost caught him with my wife when I came home early from work one day about 5 years ago. I heard some moaning, and Oh Yes’, and “do me hard you geeky stripe wearing freak”, so I ran to the bedroom and burst in. I saw a blur of red and white stripes as the son of a bitch fled and camouflaged himself like Predator. Ever since he has become my arch enemy. I’ll find him…One day.

Until that day comes, there’s always Google Earth. Where On Earth Is Waldo? is the creation of Melanie Cole, a Media Art student who came up with the idea for her graduation project. Waldo has been painted on Vancouver, BC rooftops, creating a larger-than-life high-tech game of Where’s Waldo. The final version of the project will be shown as part of the Emily Carr Graduation Exhibit 08 in May.

One day Waldo…One day…

Every geek I know has a broken console or two lying around. Every geek I know also thinks he can play guitar. And maybe they can, but I’ll still kick their sorry asses in Smash Bros. Why not build a real working guitar using some of your old consoles, like these guys did? How about a Dreamcast guitar or one made out of a Nintendo Famicom?

Check out some cool images below.

Kotaku has some screenshots that could be from Sonic Unleashed. The screenshots have a CG introduction showing Super Sonic being defeated by Eggman. Video after the jump.

Just in case your home isn’t quite full of retro video game awesomeness, a UK product designer by the name of Soner Ozenc has created this Tetris Mirror.

And let’s face it, unlike me, some of you out there are pretty fugly. A mirror comprised of thirteen interlocking mirrored acrylic panels, might make you look better. Or at least turn your face into many separate parts like a funhouse mirror.

It can be arranged on your wall to form a rectangle, or displayed broken apart as individual puzzle blocks. It would be awesome if it had a high score on top based on who is the most good looking. You know, if your household is competitive AND conceited.

The Bible Fight is a religion-themed Flash game made by This Is Pop for Adult Swim. It’s perfect for the Ned Flanders type, or the type that just likes to pit Satan against Jesus. Just choose a Biblical fighter (Noah, Moses, Jesus, Mary, Eve, and Satan) and stage (Garden of Eden, Noah’s Ark, the Parted Seas, the Manger, Hell, Golgotha, and Heaven) and fight.

Just like any other kick-ass fighting game, each player has special moves. Noah has a Stampede attack.

I haven’t played as Jesus much, but as soon as I learn the ressurection move, everyone’s ass is mine. Especially that freak Moses.

You might go to hell for playing this, but seriously you were probably going anyway.

Some guy made an awesome Space Invaders coffee table and is now selling it on Craigslist for $450.

Bad stuff can go down when you combine Space Invaders and coffee. Like in the 80’s when I stayed awake for 2 days and beat the high score. When the sun came out on the second day, some guy thought he was helping by leaning against the machine. I was so hopped up on caffeine, I accidentally slammed a quarter through his skull as I let out a girlly scream and then quietly resumed my game. The police thought it best that I stop soon after that.
