ONE SHOT: EDGE MAGAZINE/ARMY OF TROLLS’ WICKED PIXEL POSTER
As if you needed another reason to subscribe to peerless UK games mag Edge, they drop a little “bet you wish you’d had one now, don’t you” bomb, this pixel poster from Gary ‘armyoftrolls‘ Lucken included with subscriber copies of issue 203, which is just basically rife with overt and covert games references from the past 30 years.

ONE SHOT: STEPHEN GIBSON’S STYLISH ART FOR ART STYLE DOWNLOADABLES
Stephen ‘espiox‘ Gibson dares to dream up retail packaging for Nintendo/Skip’s Art Style series of DSi downloadables, in the style of the Game Boy Advance’s Art Style predecessor, the bit Generations franchise [as shown here].

ONE SHOT: HOLLIS BROWN THORNTON’S THE EARTH ON THE BACK OF THE GIANT TURTLE
It’s exceptionally hard to pick a favorite from Hollis Brown Thornton’s The Earth on the Back of the Giant Turtle series, which eventually devolved into various meditations on Invaders approaching Earth, so I’ll pick the most abstracted instead. [via Clayton Cubitt]
