The Secret World: Postcards From The Edge Of Madness

Mike Fahey — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 11:20:00 EST

A mysterious postcard pointed me towards the outwardly unassuming website of a small New England town, where I am invited to become an honorary citizen "by being dunked in the Miskatonic River." Wait, what? More »

Introducing LittleBigWorkshop

Mike Fahey — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 10:40:00 EST

The LittleBigPlanet blog has undergone a transformation while we were all busy deciding the leader of our country, giving way to LittleBigWorkshop, a place to find inspiration, share building tips, and create wallpaper to somehow aid others in building their own LittleBigPlanet levels. The Inspiration section of the site contains images meant to spur the imagination (LOLcats), and the Workshop section is where people can share fan-made tutorial videos, such as this helpful video that shows that cats and dogs can indeed live together. I don't know about you guys, but I am inspired. More »

Rock Band Web Site Enters Coccoon, Emerges As Tattoo Flash

Mike Fahey — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 14:30:00 EDT

Welcome to the new RockBand.com, or more specifically and accurately, welcome to the Kotaku post featuring a screenshot and talking about the new RockBand.com, while entered into a hibernation state earlier this morning only to emerge as Beta RockBand.com! The new site features all of the old site's features plus a host of new items, including a new blog, a photo creator that lets you pose your band members offline for exciting action scenes, and the merch shop, that allows you to create custom merchandise from your band, including Bandmates - 6 inch tall 3D statures of your characters in the game!

Explore Dead Space Narrative With No Known Survivors

Mike Fahey — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 11:40:00 EDT

EA continues to display an amazing amount of dedication to the story aspects of their upcoming sci-fi horror shooter Dead Space with the launch of No Known Survivors, a website that will feature two tragic stories from the Dead Space universe, told through the use of 3D animations, voice talent, original video and interactive elements. The website launches with nine body parts floating through space, each of which will morph into the shape of a mutated necromorph body part before becoming clickable, with one a new chunk of content activated every Monday, starting this week.

The Whispered World Launches Relaxing Website

Mike Fahey — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 14:00:00 EDT

Daedalic Entertainment's upcoming fantasy adventure game The Whispered World has just launched the official website for the title, due out for the PC in Q4 2008, and I've never been more relaxed in my life. The site features wallpapers, screenshots, concept art, a story synopsis, and some confusing forums that seem to be completely in German until you click on them. All of this, along with the most relaxing background music that's ever graced a flash website. Seriously, I've had this opened in the background all morning and couldn't for the life of me figure out why I was having such a pleasant Friday morning. Hit up the link below to check out the site, and be sure to check out the press section for a tiny preview of the article I wrote on the game back in February. More »

Diablo III Webpage Filled With Trailers, Screens, Evil

Mike Fahey — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 07:00:00 EDT

Why content yourself with a blurry screen or a low-quality stream when you can get your Diablo III fix directly from the source? Blizzard has the official website for the game up and ready, already filled with pages of screenshots, a gameplay video, and the cinematic trailer, as well as concept art and one hell of an attractive aesthetic. Some of the links may not work, but we have to learn to crawl before we learn to slay hordes of bloodthirsty demons. More »

LucasArts Breaks Ground On New Fracture Website

Mike Fahey — Fri, 30 May 2008 12:40:00 EDT

Lego Indiana Jones Site Unearthed

Mike Fahey — Thu, 01 May 2008 10:20:00 EDT

LucasArts has gone all out for the official website of Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures. The flash heavy site is chock full of news, game info, screenshots, concept art, and even a nifty trailer for your enjoyment. The site also contains a nifty little treasure hunt, where you can click on treasures hidden throughout the pages for points to use in the downloads section towards stickers, wallpapers, coloring pages, avatars, and eventually ringtones...though I must admit that I already have the theme saved to my phone. PC Gamers might also want to take note of the Games For Windows hosted demo for the game, due out May 13th. Follow the link below to check out the Indy gaming scene. More »

Ubi's Prince Of Persia Site Dripping With Goo

Mike Fahey — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 22:00:00 EDT

Well this is certainly a new look for Ubisoft's official Prince of Persia website. Clicking on the link below takes you to a flash animation of glowing blue glyphs (words?) that slowly get engulfed by a mass of oozing black goo. Could this have something to do with the recently trademarked Prince of Persia Prodigy, or is this something completely different? Will we finally see what happens when the Prince comes up again Spider-Man's archenemy, Venom? Probably not. Trying to believably mix established gaming icons with comic book heroes and villains is a silly idea. I suppose we'll just have to wait until either the big reveal, or they morph the slime into some sort of damned countdown clock. More »

Dawn Of War II Website Teases

Mike Fahey — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 22:00:00 EDT

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 2 is official, and now the official website is officially websiting! What I've done here is collect the official teaser trailer and the three screenshots from said site and placed them in a convenient Kotaku post, so there really is no real reason to click on the link below, unless you don't appreciate all of the hard work I've done replicating the essence of the Dawn of War 2 website for your viewing pleasure. Fine, click the link, you ingrates. More »

Interplay Readies Sexy New Website

Mike Fahey — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 21:00:12 EDT

Ahhh, now there is a sight for sore eyes. Up until recently, Interplay.com looked like this. Ugly, right? I wasn't kidding about he sight for sore eyes bit. Now they're getting ready to resurrect their website just as they have resurrected their intellectual property. All of the players are in place too, making my nostalgia gland pump out extra past-tosterone over images of Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, Earthworm Jim, Descent, Fallout, and the awesome MDK coil suit. Oh how I've missed you, Kurt Hectic. That's one damn fine lineup right there. Let's see what they do with it! More »

Japanese Fragile Website Gets Update

fdemarco — Sat, 26 Jan 2008 15:00:00 EST

The last time we reported about Namco's mysterious Fragile, they had just released a teaser trailer and shortly before that, a single paged website. Since then, the site has been updated with a few more pages (all in Japanese) and more importantly, a recent gallery of some really nice looking screenshots. The dilapidated carnival shots remind me a bit of Silent Hill 3 with the creepy pig replacing the bloody pink bunny. It's still kind of hard to tell what this is going to be all about, but if the gameplay and story match up with the quality of the graphics, this promises to be a must have title for the Wii. More »

Populous Coming to a Japanese DS Near You

fdemarco — Sat, 29 Dec 2007 17:00:00 EST

With all the focus on SimCity and SimCity2 on the DS, it seems one of my favorite city building games is getting overlooked. Populous, the finger pointing god game is finally making it's way onto Nintendo's popular handheld! EA Japan already has a website up for the game that looks to have been up for quite a few months. The site is minimal and all in Japanese, but it does have some small screen shots and such tucked in there for the adventurous clicker. The splash page announces that the game will be released in Japan on Feb. 21, 2008 and something tells me the US version will not be too far behind. At least I hope... More »

The Legend of Zelda 2008 Website

fdemarco — Sat, 24 Nov 2007 15:00:00 EST

Now before you get all excited, let me tell you one thing. Don't get too excited. This "website" is really only a teaser page and in all likelihood, has nothing to do with Nintendo. A quick whois lookup reveals that the domain was registered through GoDaddy and seeing as Nintendo generally registers their domains through Network Solutions, the probability of this being an actual licensed project is slim to none. More probable is that this is some fan project that may or may not ever come to fruition. Anyone care to make further speculations? More »

Ben 10: Protector Of The Earth Website Opens

fdemarco — Sat, 06 Oct 2007 19:00:00 EDT

People seem to really love Ben 10. The Cartoon Network show crosses the lines between kids and adults and when I saw the game demoed at Comic-Con, both sets of ages were there, enjoying the game with equal abandon. I tried it out myself and even though I wasn't terribly familiar with the show, the game was pretty fun. With the game's launch not far off, D3 Publishers has premiered the game's website which is now open and ready for your rather stringent approval. I'm sure you'll have plenty to say about it. More »

Microsoft Starts Online Site for US Xbox Repairs

fdemarco — Sat, 04 Aug 2007 15:00:00 EDT

In answer to the seemingly never ending tales of Xbox 360 failures (mind you, unlike Crecente I've had mine for almost a year with no problems) Microsoft is launching an online site where US owners can help speed up the process of getting their original Xbox or Xbox 360 repaired. More »

Chibi-Robo Site Up

Kim Phu — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 10:40:00 EDT

The first leg of the Japanese Chibi-Robo Park Patrol site is up, and as expected, it is full of adorable, saturated-colored screens and described with squiggly little lines most of us can't read. Also included in the site are some charming gameplay videos like the one pictured above. In particular, this video shows Chibi-Robo shaking his money maker after using his stereo icon. Apparently, it makes the psychotic flowers happy. It made sense to some one enough to make it a game. Just go with it and you'll have a lot of fun. Kim Phu More »

Make Your Site Wii-Friendly

Kim Phu — Thu, 07 Jun 2007 13:40:00 EDT

Opera, the browser of choice for the Wii, has come out with a handy guide on how to adjust your websites to be picture perfect when being browsed by the Nintendo console. On top of some general specs that are more detailed (that you've probably figured out by now, for example, the Wii browser only has Flash support up to 7, and browser window size requirements), it also goes into detail (sometimes with code) on how you may be able to get your website to load. Of course, it's a pretty dense read, and anyone who is a novice at programming won't understand some of it. However, it is kind of a fun, geeky read for people who want to know how it all works.

Biohazard Premium Site Offerings

Kim Phu — Thu, 31 May 2007 11:40:00 EDT

A super-sneaky premium version of the Biohazard website has been uncovered in Japan. Basically all you have to do after going to the Biohazard website is click on one of the nucleuses on the red cell that floating around aimlessly. That jumps to the premium site and viola, more red cell navigation will show you all kinds of goodies like game clips and an online sound game. More »

StarCraft2.com Is Live

Mike Fahey — Sat, 19 May 2007 05:50:59 EDT

StarCraft2.com just went live! No mere teaser site, it's filled with screenshots, videos, wallpapers, artwork, and just about everything a growing game needs to keep fans on the edge of their seats for ages to come. The new splash page found after I refreshed Blizzard.com for the millionth time this morning says it all: More »

Dewy's Adventure Website Open

Kim Phu — Wed, 16 May 2007 16:20:00 EDT

A new website has popped up for Dewy's Adventure and it's still in its early stages. Not all the features are available yet, but there is a game play video showing with some new "monsters" (I put them in quotes because secretly you'll want to hug them, and squeeze them, and name them "George"). Right now the site is in Japanese, but it won't stop you from clicking on the buttons. The only other information available right now some diagrams on how the game is played with the wiimote and some creepy dolls that resemble Dewy, but have some funny outfits on. Promoting video games is so much more complicated than I thought. Kim Phu More »

Final Fantasy IV DS Website Opens

fdemarco — Sun, 13 May 2007 14:00:00 EDT

Hot on the heels of the news that Final Fantasy IV is getting a 3d makeover for the DS comes the quiet launch of the Japanese website for the game. Now don't get too excited, there really isn't much there at the moment apart from a rather pretty opening animation and some soothing music. Although, I suppose calling it an animation is overstating it a bit. It's more like a pan over of a painting, part of which you can see above. You are then presented with the logo and a link to a fact sheet which is, of course, all in Japanese. Still, if you are a big Final Fantasy fan it's definitely worth a look see. More »

Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII Trailer, Now With More English

Michael McWhertor — Mon, 02 Apr 2007 20:20:26 EDT

As we come to terms with Square-Enix's Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII actually existing, this fan-subbed version of the trailer shown at Jump Festa makes the game much easier to understand. Obviously, spoilers abound, so those hoping to go into the PSP action RPG fresh might want to avert their eyes. Those looking for further evidence the game isn't vaporware should check out the recently launched official Japanese site. Michael McWhertor More »

Transformers Game Site: Not Much More Than Meets the Eye

fdemarco — Sat, 03 Mar 2007 14:00:00 EST

I suppose it's a bit of a stretch to call this Transformers Game site a "website" at this point. The main page offers you the choice between an Autobot or Decepticon's icon which then takes you to a newsletter sign up page. There's really no difference between the two pages except for the graphic at the bottom, but who knows, maybe the newsletters you receive will be branded with the icon of whatever faction you decide to go with. I clicked around hoping I would find some hidden video or screenshots, but to no avail, it's pretty much just those three pages. However, if you are interested in receiving information when the page gets updates and "game reveals" you can head over there now and sign up. More »

Kirby Squeak Squad Gets Official Site

The Movies' Site Ready for Its Close-Up

Brian Crecente — Wed, 31 May 2006 17:00:37 EDT

VH1's new game site, Game Break, points out that Lionhead has freshened up their Movies site. The make-over is in preperation for The Movies upcoming expansion pack Stunts and Effects, which hits on June 6. The relaunch includes giving The Movies movie-makers the ability to market and promote their Sim-like films with posters. The site will also have new categories for films made with the expansion pack. Finally, people who buy the expansion pack will get their site disk space bumped up from 10 megs to 25 megs. So far the site is host to almost 90,000 movies, which, if played back-to-back, would take 196 days to watch. That and the ability to stomach an endless stream of cliche-ridden blockbuster knock-offs. Brian Crecente More »

Like To BS? Make a Prediction

Are you bold? Like are you audacious enough to wear shoes without socks and drink day-old milk? Well, have we got a website for you. Appropriately called "Bold-Claim," the site lets daring individuals post this opinions on everything from economics (not our readership) to video games (bingo). Just register, post your own or comment on others. I've taken a quick look around, happened upon a couple Kotaku reader's bold claims and made my own: More »

Mario Kart DS Site Sorta Launches

Brian Crecente — Fri, 28 Oct 2005 13:02:32 EDT

Nintendo has half-launched the website for Mario Kart DS. So far you can check out a handful of teeny, tiny screenshots and download some wallpaper, but at the bottom it says that the full site is coming soon. I hope it has some community feature so it will be easier to hook-up with friends who want to do some kart-racing throw downs. More »
