While Total War: Shogun 2 does an excellent job of depicting the titanic clash between two warring factions, it's always been missing a little something to make the experience complete: Majestic arcs of spurting crimson lifeblood, and the odd severed head. All this and more can be yours for $1.59. More »

You can't go blasting your best friend through a wall and not expect a little payback. Remember kids: The Falcon Punch is not a toy. More »

One would assume that cutting your way through countless orcs would leave your clothes rather messy. Snowblind Studios, the developer of The Lord of the Rings: War in the North makes that happen in what looks to be the most violent game the fantasy series has ever seen. More »

Blood, mostly. Here, take a napkin, wipe it off ... These are 19 new screenshots of Left 4 Dead that NeoGAF put up earlier this week. Lots of dismemberment and bloodspatter, but I'm not seeing any mid-spew vomit money shots here. The full gallery is on the jump. NeoGAF has them at higher resolution. More »

Blue fame, but they try their best, with varied results. In the latest episode of their Halo 3 series Matchmaking, they take a moment to ponder the question, "What if Halo 3 had more blood?" Then they ask a couple more questions before getting to the punchline. Might want to plug in some headphones if you're at work, as the language gets a bit strong. "Arg my fucking other leg!" Beautiful. More »
]]> http://kotaku.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=355069&view=rss&microfeed=true When I heard there was going to be an ultra gory MMO, my interest was piqued. But, after seeing some screens and now this trailer, my pique has waned a bit. It looks nice if not a bit generic and there's not nearly as much blood and gore as I had hoped for something with "bloody" in the title. But, who knows, it could shape up to be a really amazing game for all I know and then who will be laughing out of the other side of his face? The real question though is: Does lots of blood equal a good MMO? More »

Soldier of Fortune without blood and flying limbs? I don't think so. Turns out that vid we posted last week was an old, tame, marketing pitch for the upcoming game. Hit the jump if you're at least 18 and want to check out the full-on, limb-flying, blood-spewing version of SoF we all know and love. More »

The gorehounds over at Flicker Gaming have singled out this screenshot of Gears of War as the pinnacle of next-gen gore. It's certainly plenty great. Note the syrupy spurts of blood; the huge chunks of grey matter flying through the air. Flicker Gaming enthuses: More »

I'm leaving on a road trip on the 5th, but will be bringing a 360 with me so that on the 8th, somewhere in eastern Montana in some god-forsaken Walmart host body of a town, I can plug that sucker into a hotel TV and rock out, zombie-style.

]]> http://kotaku.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=191097&view=rss&microfeed=true Bethesda has responded to the ESRB's recent re-rating of Oblivion from T to M. It's classy, making lip-service to Bethesda's respect for the ESRB's ideals while at the same time insinuating just enough seething contempt to make gamers roll their eyes even more milky white at the ESRB's hypocritical idiocy. Here's a slice: More »
