In all of the Metal Gear Solid 4 excitement yesterday, we missed out on what could be the most important game of the year. The Discovery Channel presents Deadliest Catch Alaskan Storm, a game for the Xbox 360 and PC that promises to bring the perilous world of the Bering Sea crab boat captain to your living room. Developed by Liquid Dragon Studios, DCAS is the brainchild of brothers Sig, Edgar, and Norman Hansen, who have been a big part of the Discovery Channel's hit show. The game touts 34,000 miles of the Bearing Sea coast recreated from the US Geological Survey, weather patterns based on authentic data, and some really big f***ing waves. More »

Just a quick reminder for those of you graced with cable—and not forced to choose between apartment-contracted 'bargain' cable providers or pointing a satellite dish directly at a tree, praying for a fastidious woodpecker to come along. Tonight at 8pm eastern is the premiere of the Discovery Channel's five-part documentary, "The Rise of the Videogame." It explores, using former Kotaku guest editor Geoff Keighley's words, "a look at how the social and political climate shaped games and game designers in the 70s through present day." I can assure you it's much more interesting than it sounds, stuffed with game developers both famous and obscure. Tonight's show features the dark, misunderstood beginning of the video game phenomenon, when people struggled to understand the concept itself. If you won't watch it for you, watch it for sad, cable-less me. More »

How exactly it will tie in remains to be seen. I'm hoping it isn't just old episodes with Halo 3 advertainment sprinkled liberally throughout. I suppose we'll find out tonight at 8PM Eastern. More »

]]> http://kotaku.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=199808&view=rss&microfeed=true Warning: this video is long. 2760 plus seconds long. But it's an excellent look at the History of Video Games done by Discovery Channel... consequently, the perfect Monday morning office time waster! The disclaimer here is that this is aimed primarily at non-gamers, so there's going to be a lot of little things that will probably cause your pedantic gamer's rage to set in and start spitting out bubbling blood. But it's worth it for that singing claymated Mario done by the California Raisins guys. More »
