I've received a lot of peculiar things from Nintendo in the past: A DSi cake, a call from Mario, a box of candies, but this is the first that made me work to find out what it was. More »

With Bionic Commando due to hit consoles next week and Capcom trying to maintain their absurdly high standard of schwag, I guess I shouldn't have been surprised when this arrived in the mail. More »

Standing at $50 with the reserve not yet met, I suspect this Piggy statue from Rockstar-thriller Manhunt isn't something you could put on a list of inexpensive holiday presents. More »

Capcom mailed a cereal-box sized... box today for Street Fighter II HD Remix. Inside, a smorgasbord of goodies including a red Street Fighter headband, a Udon Street Fighter Remix comic, a Chun Li figure and one of those magnetic boards (this one looks like E Honda's hangout) that you can slap stickers on and off. It also came with two sheets of Street Fighter stickers so you can create your own little battles on the fridge. More »

Standing 7-feet 10-inches tall and weighing in at 120 pounds this Brotherhood of Steel statue may be a bit of a light weight, but it’s also the coolest bit of Fallout 3 schwag currently available. Yes, even cooler than those Vault Boy puppets and Pip-Boy Watches (clocks). More »

OK, this Pip-Boy Digital Clock probably isn't meant to be worn on the wrist. Sure I can slip my girlish wrists through the plastic and walk around like it was meant to be worn, but the thing keeps sliding around. Good thing too, because if I had manly Fahey wrists and the thing did fit properly I'd totally make this my new watch. The digital clock, which just arrived on my doorstep, is part of Bethesday Softworks fabulous Fallout 3 Survival Edition box set which also includes an art book, a making of DVD, a bobble head and a metal lunch box. Oh, also the game, it includes the game. Hit the jump for some close ups of this must have special edition. More »

Namco Bandai's pre Tokyo Game Show press conference may have been a little light on the news, but at least they handed out some classy goodies to departing journalists, if only to wake them back up before their trip back to assorted hotels. More »

It's the E3 Eve and just about all of Kotaku is either in LA right now or on their way there. This year's E3 might be a shortened affair, one that only runs Monday through Thursday, but that doesn't mean there isn't going to be tons of news breaking, including a couple of surprises, and lots of amazing games shown off.

Ubisoft handed out packs of these four Raving Rabbids at this year's Ubidays. I'm not a huge schwag fan myself, but these managed to melt even my cold heart. And yes, we're sorry Ubisoft, turns out Sam Fischer did make an appearance at your show. More »

I received my copy of Grand Theft Auto IV today from Rockstar and tucked inside the box along with the game was this pretty damn cool replica of Liberty City's Statue of Happiness. Note how well it blends in with my other bobbles? More »

It is! Even says so, right there. Reader Ricardo just got hold of these classy GTAIV license plates from Rockstar, which are real plates, to scale, so he can mount them on the automobile/trailer/scooter of his choice. They're even customised...so long as your name's Niko, that is. Not much good if your name's Ricardo. Or anything but Niko. More »

Pursuit Force Extreme Justice hits tomorrow. What I played of the demo I quite liked, which is surprising because I hated the original game. My early copy, which arrived at my door today, came with this Pimp Glass, sunglasses and fingerless gloves. Hold on there guys, you're mixing your seventies references and it's about to blow my mind. Either throw in a pimp stick and robe or make with the fake Magnum stache. More »

When we posted a brief note about an upcoming Capcom playtesting session in the Bay Area of California, reader Justme8800 heeded the call. In addition to getting hands-on time with an unnamed Capcom game—no, we couldn't squeeze it out of him—he walked away with all this stuff. More »

This Eye of Judgment schwag isn't just neat, it actually is useful. Sony sent me a black faux leather sack and a metal card carrying case. You put your Eye of Judgment deck in the case and then slip the case into a tiny pocket sewn into the sack. I assume you put the head of your defeated enemy in the rest of the bag after the game... or maybe it's for carting around the camera, stand and playfield. Neah, its gotta be for the heads. More »

E For All may have been a bit of a dud for the enthusiast press attendee, as I had personally spent time with over 90% of the software on hand at previous events, but in terms of Pac-Man themed candy? E For All was a blockbuster hit. After a harrowing experience at the show's "press hospitality suite" in which I was horrified to discover that not a single bartender or Thai masseuse was on staff, I realized it wasn't a total loss. Pac-man lollipops! Yes, please! I uttered the Kotaku battlecry—"This is a post!"—upon finding these, a welcome, sweet oasis when my bloodsugar was at its lowest. Thank you, Namco Bandai Games, for your fabulous candy on a stick. More »

It's about time. Someone finally sent me that straitjacket that my frequent outbursts and bizarre behavior have been crying out for, for years. Granted, it's meant to be just a bit of Manhunt 2 schwag from Rockstar, but I think I can put it to good use... now to go convert our spare bedroom into a quiet room. More »

Compared to years past, this E3 suffered a practical swag drought. Sure, Joel got a spiffy iPod and I saw some people, lot of people walking around with World in Conflict skateboards, but for the most part the stuff being handed out consisted mostly of water, food and t-shirts. Funny story, I almost "stole" a bagel from a hotel vendor who had made the mistake of setting up shop in the midst of three developers. Sorry, when I'm at E3 and I see food on a table it means free to me. More »
