Kooberz Studios specialise in stop-motion videos and here they have created a short but delicious homage to Epic Studios “Gears of War” action combat games, titled “Bricks of War.” Turn the volume up for the full visceral ‘Gears’ effect and enjoy!

Independent film-maker Dan Trachtenberg recently released his fan-film tribute to Valve Software’s Portal game series. Titled “Portal: No Escape” the short film features Danielle Rayne in the lead role, playing a woman who awakes to captivity in a strange dark place. What follows next is over all too soon but is worth the watching. Such is the critical praise being received by this creation that talk of a full-length feature follow-up is already taking place. We can only hope!
