Patchwork Heroesis exactly what we need more of on not only the PSP, but across all platforms. It’s a shame oddball games from Japan don’t necessarily translate greatly to sales here in the states. Really, when was the last time you honest-to-goodness WTF’d over a game?Noby Noby Boy? Oh, right. I forgot aboutDeadly Premonition. I’ll give you that one, games industry.

This four-hour creation is smaller than a few of the concepts I mentioned above, but it gets the job done nonetheless. Reddit userduncsmapsmanaged to re-create Walter White’s house fromBreaking Bad, and I have to say it’s pretty much perfect, down to the pizza on the roof....

They alone reign atop my personal pedestal of happiness, a special zone that dictates everything from individual spending habits, conversational topics, and recreational choices. While I acknowledge gaming as an art; a vehicle to combine innovative ideas from cinema, literature, and music, not everyone sees it that way....
