The Misfits

The Misfits is an Early Access arena shooter featuring these halftone vending machines — including everyone’s favorite, Sodar Pop! Let’s take a closer look…

NORTH

These drink machines from PS4 cyberpunk adventure NORTH look like they’ve spent a couple of years at the bottom of the ocean. Thanks for the screenshot, Chris!

Thanks for the screenshots, Dominic!

A friendly policeman takes me on a tour of a London Underground station and its fine vending machines in Zombi (a.k.a. ZombiU for the Wii U).

Shrek the Third
