Legend of Zelda: Hyrule's Most Wanted Villains It's good to be bad. Although I love the Legend of Zelda series for many reasons, the boss fights are easily some of my favorite game experiences. To commemorate Zelda's 25th anniversary, as well as the impending release of Ocarina of Time 3D and Skyward Sword, I searched far and wide to find great artists who love this iconic Nintendo franchise as much as I do. We’ve collected 80 pieces of original art, which we’ll be unveiling daily in groups of 20. Keep it cool, Koopalings.Richard GeorgeExecutive Editor, IGN.com

8 Deadly Works of Art After Ai Weiwei’s Tate exhibition was effectively quarantined for its impact on visitors’ health and well-being, we thought we’d investigate the art world for a few other pieces and exhibitions that ended up being a little more than curators and artists bargained for. From the Tate Modern’s numerous Turbine Hall offenses to falling sculptures, environmental devastation, and out of control Richard Serras, here are a few works we’d only want to admire from a safe distance. Richard Serra’s “Sculpture No. 3” Richard Serra, "One Ton Prop (House of Cards)" (1969) (from Arttattler.com) In November 1971, Richard Serra’s “Sculpture No. 3” was installed at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. A sculpture formed from two 5-ton steel plates balanced against each other much like “One Ton Prop” above, the installation turned deadly when rigger Raymond Johnson was trapped underneath a plate that slipped its support and fell.

And that this definitely isn't him. The person we have to thank for Spider-Man's existence is this guy: American comic-book writer, editor and publisher Stan Lee. And Spider-Man's not the only hero Stan brought to life.

In 1939, Stan began his career as an assistant with a very small publisher called Timely Comics. In the 60s, Marvel characters were brought to life as live action and animated heroes in movies and on TV screens. Today, it's a multimedia giant owned by Disney and it's worth billions of dollars … … pumping out slickly produced blockbusters full of recognisable faces. Those fans say it's really sad to say bye to Stan.
