European Rock Band Wii, PS3, PS2...Not Until August 29th [Update]

Mark Wilson — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 14:00:00 EDT

According to Videogamer.com, the controversial European release of Rock Band just got a little worse. While we knew that Xbox 360 owners would get Rock Band earlier than everyone else (May 23rd), EA has announced that the Wii, PS2 and PS3 versions will not be released until August 29th. That's a loooong delay...namely for those who sleep next to their PS3 at night, one bed over, waiting intently to take their relationship "to the next level" over a game that's already been finished.

Week In Games, PS3s Rejoice Edition

Mark Wilson — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 13:40:16 EST

I don't know about you, but not owning a PC, I can't wait to crack open UT3 on my PS3. While Motostorm was decent, it has more potential than any PS3 title before to cement its networked play. Here's a rundown on what else is coming out this week. More »

Week In Games: Licensed Schlock Rush Edition

Michael McWhertor — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 16:40:00 EST

Few Kotaku readers will gripe that this week contains too many must-buys. The only complaints that will come from this pre-holiday release week will come weeks from now, as one is faced with a surprise copy of Alvin & The Chipmunks stashed under the tree. Consider it a good week to catch up on November's releases. More »

This Week's XBLA Releases Are Puzzling, In A Good Way

Mark Wilson — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 14:40:42 EST

This Wednesday, look for new releases Switchball and Word Puzzle on Xbox Live Arcade. While we don't know much about word-search-with-bombs title Word Puzzle, we really enjoyed our time with Switchball way back at E3. So for any marble game fiends, it's a promising download. Both games run 800 points (lesser known as $10). More »

PS3 Finally Gets Shivering Isles

Mike Fahey — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 10:40:05 EDT

Tomorrow sees the release of the PlayStation 3 version of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Game of the Year Edition, which marks the first time that the Shivering Isles expansion will be available to PS3 gamers. While this is excellent news for those who waited to purchase Oblivion on the console, but those of us who already purchased and completed the main quest are still waiting for a solution. According to Bethesda's blog they are very close to a resolution, be it a download from PSN or a standalone disc like the one coming out for the Xbox 360 tomorrow, so keep your eyes open for news. In the meantime you might be able to find a copy of the GOTY Edition for rent to help scratch that crazy itch. More »

China Finally Getting WoW: The Burning Crusade

Maggie Greene — Sun, 02 Sep 2007 17:00:12 EDT

It's been out in the rest of the world for several months, but Chinese gamers have yet to see The Burning Crusade expansion pack for WoW - but The9, the Chinese operator for the game, has finally announced it will be arriving 10 September. Chinese gamers haven't gotten any new content since October of last year, and their patience is running thin - not a good position for a currently beleaguered company to be in (lawsuits, pissed off gamers, and possible early license termination - oh my!): More »

A Disappointing DS Christmas

kotaku.com — Mon, 23 Oct 2006 16:40:16 EDT

Many of us are hoping that Santa — that morbidly obese, home-invading elf who sneaks into your house and stares, unblinking, at the supine, sleeping forms of small children in the middle of the night; "You're a naughty, naughty girl, aren't you?" he huskily breathes to himself — will load the nethers of our Christmas tree with lots of DS cartridges this Christmas.

The Settlers Yoke Oxen, Commute to the DS

brownlee — Fri, 07 Jul 2006 07:00:53 EDT

It's so odd to think that, before the Nintendo DS, those of us looking for a portable real-time strategy game pretty much had to do with the Pocket PC. But here comes another one: Ubisoft has announced The Settlers is coming soon to a touch-screen near you. More »

Firaxis To Announce 2006 Games Thursday

Brian Crecente — Tue, 14 Mar 2006 09:00:42 EST

Sid Meier is going to be inducted into the Walk of Game at the failing Metreon in San Francisco on March 16. While Meier is very much worthy of the honor, I think the truly interesting part of the evening will be the post induction Firaxis party which will detail the company's official 2006 game line-up.
