Found on YouTube: L.A. Noire C64, Breakdancing Niko & More...

Posted on July 5 2013, 3:21pm | Author: R* Q | Filed Under: Games
 
A couple of the most reliable and creative members of the YouTube and machinima scene, Majami Hiroz and Yeardly Diamond, have struck again with this pair of very entertaining and well-made creations.

Above, the 80s-obsessed Majami Hiroz Show, whom you may remember from their Commodore 64 interpretation of Vice City's final mission as well as their sweet cover version of the Vice City theme, have apparently discovered another golden era rarity with this purported original 1986 C64 version of L.A. Noire shown via a let's-play video of the "Silk Stocking" Homicide Desk case (* fair warning spoiler alert for those out there who haven't yet cracked that particular case). With a MIDI-esque take on the L.A. Noire “Main Theme” by Andrew Hale and a spot-on 80s adventure computer games style, this one's certainly worth a watch.

Below, the prolific Yeardly Diamond always seems quick to jump on GTA parodies of the latest pop music video memes (catch the Gangnam, Rick Astley and Harlem Shake GTA vids if you've never seen them) but skewers 'em with amazing animations and hilarious sequences. This latest clip posted earlier this week finds Niko (and Johnny and Luis and Roman..) again taking on the latest cheese-pop hit from Psy: "Gentleman". Things really get interesting about 1:40 in as Niko kicks his best game to Yeardley Diamond on a date and then busts out some epic breaking with Johnny and Luis from the lobby of the Majestic Hotel to the dancefloor of Maisonette 9. As an added bizarre meta treat, check out fan personifications of Luis Lopez and Carl Johnson beefing with one another over who's the better dancer in the clip's YouTube comments.
 
 
Very honorable mention as well to these cool GTA and Rockstar fan creations we've also come across that are worth a look:

Rockstar Game Tips: Going for Guts and Glory in Manhunt

Posted on May 27 2013, 11:02am | Author: R* Q | Filed Under: Games

Now that Manhunt is available to download from the PS2 Classic collection at the PlayStation Store on its 10th anniversary since release, it's time to step back into this dark tale of James Earl Cash and try to survive the hordes of bloodthirsty killers in Carcer City. This is a brutal blood sport and it's not going to be easy, so here are our tips for prevailing in this most dangerous game:
 

Heart of Darkness: Surrounded by danger and depravity, the shadows are your sanctuary. Move into the darkness and the figure of Cash on the bottom right of the screen will turn blue to indicate that you cannot be seen in plain sight. Don't get too comfortable though - if you're in an enemy's path and he walks into you, he'll attack.

Sick sense: The radar at the bottom-right of the screen shows the location of nearby enemies and the direction in which they are facing, as well as key locations such as objective points. It uses a color system to indicate each enemy's state: yellow means they are blissfully unaware that you're about to sneak up and butcher them; orange shows that they have heard something and are heading over to investigate; and red indicates that they can see you and are coming to kill you. Use this information to plan when to stalk and when to run, but don't get too dependent - in Hardcore difficulty, there's no radar.

Silence is crimson: Noise can be your friend or your foe, so keep an eye on the red circle on your radar to know how discreet you're being (or not being) at any given time. When the time is right, hit walls or kick barrels to lure your enemy to their sticky fate.

Ear to the ground: Keep one eye on the ground at all times, as some floor surfaces will make a sound when you walk on them. Don't make the amateur mistake of stepping onto a metal grate and giving yourself away while lining up an execution.

Divide and conquer: The odds of surviving are already stacked against you, so don't be tempted to take on the world. Isolate enemies and take them out one-by-one. If you find two or more of them sticking together, use noise to lure one of them away.
