Games

Add a comment By Che

Our hot import of The LEGO Movie Videogame is in stock now on all major gaming platforms! Why wait two months for the local release?

The LEGO Movie Videogame puts LEGO kids into the role of Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. Players guide him as he is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared.

Order your copy of The LEGO Movie Videogame before 1pm AEDT with DHL Express delivery and get it overnight*!

YOU DEFEATED - Mighty Ape visits the Dark Souls cafe in Tokyo, Japan!

Add a comment By Ben

Thou who art undead, are chosen, in thine exodus from the Mighty Ape office – maketh pilgrimage to the land of the Dark Souls cafe. When thou ringeth the Service Bell of the Waiter, the taste of the undead menu thou shalt know.

Wow. As a true Dark Souls fiend, I can honestly say that the Dark Souls Cafe is WELL worth the visit. So much so that I have been twice already and have a third visit planned hah – the hype levels for Dark Souls II – coming March 14th – are off the charts!

The Cafe is located 10 minutes walk from Roppongi Station, in Nishiazabu. Usually the place is known as Oz Cafe, an Australian bar and restaurant, but until April the place has been completely transformed, littered with Dark Souls II paraphernalia in ever nook and cranny. I must say that as I approached the cafe for the first time, my heart was aflutter with serious Dark Souls obsessive excitement! As I swung open the door I was greeted by Great Grey Wolf Sif's theme from the Dark Souls soundtrack booming – yes, I had arrived. I quickly rested by the bonfire to save my progress.

Praise the sun with the amazing Dark Souls: Design Works art book!

Games Books

Add a comment By Michael

The beautiful Dark Souls: Design Works has finally made the leap from the Japanese original to a faithfully translated English version. Fans of From Software's cri­tically revered Souls games know only too well the sheer depth and originality of design on display in Dark Souls. There are some HUGE Dark Souls fiends here at Mighty Ape, and they consider this book mandatory for any true Dark Souls fans!

Design Works offers an awesome inside look at the creative process for realizing perhaps the most punishing and rewarding world in modern games. There is also an extensive interview with Hidetaka Miyazaki and many of the game’s artists, which provides some fantastic insight to the design process.

The book features early concept art of many locations, weapons, enemies and characters, including fan favourites such as Solaire, Crossbreed Pricilla, Ornstein and Smough and many more! The incredible artwork on display here should be the perfect thing to carry you over until Dark Souls II sneaks up to backstab us in March!

Be sure to check back with us soon to see what one of our lucky apes has to report about his recent trip to Tokyo's Dark Souls Cafe!

Lead by Orion, the voice of the people, the tyrannized citizens will do everything they can to claim back the City from the Baron's grasp. The revolution is inevitable. If Garrett doesn't get involved, the streets will run red with blood and the City will tear itself apart.

  • Leverage Garrett's arsenal to take down guards with your blackjack, shoot one of your many arrow types or use your newly acquired focus abilities to manipulate the environment and outsmart your enemies. What kind of Master Thief will you be?
  • Become one with the world thanks to ground-breaking visual elements and a truly tactile and visceral first-person experience.
