Silent Hill Ringtones From Verizon

I've been playing quite a bit of Silent Hill: Origins lately and was lucky enough to have met Yamaoke himself at E for All, so when Kotakuite Jesterhead369 dropped me this note in my inbox it piqued my interest. If you have a Verizon phone, you can download several Silent Hill ringtones including the popular Theme of Laura. Each ring will set you back $2.99 for the privilege of carrying a bit of creepy town with you. Unfortunately , I don't have a Verizon phone, but hopefully with the iPhone I hope to get for Christmas and my SH2 soundtrack CD (autographed even!), I can cobble together my own SH ringtone to disturb passers by.

Latest by Ehardergardens: @Zolbrod: The game is good so far, very early. i'm not going to be as critial of it as silent Hill V. The voice acting so far has been suprisingly good. I don't like the look of alessa, and more »

Clip: Creepy Dogs Get their Own Island

You can buy these "The Dog" (breed with giant mutant head) stickers and calendars pretty much wherever there's a Japanese bookstore that has a mechanical pencil rack the size of your living room, but I never thought this kind of niche market could land itself its own Nintendo Wii game. As usual, I was wrong and on top of that, there's even a clip to show how cute (but still very creepy) the game looks. More »

Burger King Profits from Your Pain

Burger King has published its quarterly earnings report today, reporting an $11 million rise in net income over this time last year. The leap is being attributed to the 360 video game promotion, which spurred sales as gamers flocked to chain restaurants to pick up the three King-based titles, presumably being unable to find a sharp enough stick to poke in their eyes instead.

XBL Kidnapper: "If I Weren't In Jail, I'd Be Playing Final Fantasy"

Disturbed pizza manager Michael Devlin kidnaps two boys, gets caught, put on suicide watch and all he wants to do is play Final Fantasy XI. If he hadn't gotten captured, one shudders to think what he'd be doing. But Devlin says: More »

These Games Have Underwear!

What do Metal Gear Solid and Jet Set Radio have in common? Panty-shots. From the Famicon to the Xbox 360, a Japanese website has complied a list of all in-game depictions of underwear. There are guidelines, such as only glimpses of "pantsu" (panties), that keep thing from being a laundry list of porno games. The page is divided by console, title, character and remarks. Comprehensive and containing games from various consoles, for example: More »

TGS06: Bring On The Creepy Cameramen

At Kotaku, we know creepy. While E3 was known for dorky guys posing with booth babes, TGS is more famous for creepy guys with huge creepy cameras taking creepy pictures of booth babes. Good thing the showroom floor is dark, sparing us from seeing their creepy faces. Brian Ashcraft

The Creepy Sega Cat

While Sega did bring us the Dreamcast (and for that, we are forever thankful), they also squirted out this horrible robotic cat (and for that, we are freaked). Sega calls this beast "Near Me," a word play on "nyan," the Japanese word for "meow." GameSetWatch stumbled across the kitty on eBay. The seller states: More »
