Aaron Wood is an Etsy shop owner with a knack for creating simplistically designed propaganda posters for some of today’s most famous pop culture genres. One that he’s focused on is the video game space, and the popular franchises that have inhabited it since the 80′s. Wood has created a series of video game inspired propaganda posters on 11×14 sheets of paper and sells them for the very low price of $12.50.
His collection includes homages to Pokemon, Halo, Super Mario Bros., Skyrim, Assassin’s Creed, and a few other mainstream titles. Head on down past the break to see Wood's work.
Replaying Skyrim after 13 years is a reminder of the progress made in western RPGs over the last decade, but also what's been lost.

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.
Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.
Pity.
How do composers make the iconic music tracks from games that we love? And just what makes them so memorable?
