It’s been a while — hope you haven’t forgotten about me! But yes, let’s talk. You, me and this giraffe. Giraffes are chatty. Didn’t you know that? Here’s how it works: We ask a question, you answer it. Simple and no strings attached! This isn’t some marketing survey or whatever. It’s an emotional investment in…
A video game about the game industry? That could be pretty boring. Inside baseball. Zzzzzz. It would need something to sexy it up! Upcoming role-playing game Neptune takes place in a fictional world called “Game Industry”, which is split into four different worlds with four different goddesses: Purple Heart (Neptune), Green Heart, Black Heart, White…

But you can’t play it. Sorry! The pistol-heeled action game was playable in 3D for at least one person – the game’s designer, Hideki Kamiya. Here he is, playing the game at the offices of Platinum Games, the studio behind the title. Bayonetta was released in October 2009 in Japan, and earlier this year in…
Whether it be action title Bayonetta, fighting game Guilty Gear or role-playing game Rune Factory, habit-wearing characters have made appearances in video games. Many Japanese games simply use nun accoutrements. But why? Nuns are part of the Japanese landscape. While they are not as readily visible in public as Buddhist priest zipping around on their…
Because what says “Love Plus” better than that? Japanese website Megwin.com (think Japan’s answer to Mega64) has created this send-up of Love Plus with a tune about always being with the game. The “girl” at the end does say, “I want to kiss”. The popular DS title is coming to the Apple iPad and iPhone/iPod…

Man, everything! Game-wise, the film’s protagonist Snake Plissken inspired the character of Snake from Metal Gear Solid, and even, to an extent, the vibe and look of the games. (Realize that MGS was also inspired by a huge number of other movies as well.) Escape from New York’s director John Carpenter is involved in upcoming…
From Axe body spray to Doritos chips, upcoming stealth game Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is wall-to-wall product placement. Game designer Hideo Kojima explains why. “Concerning the current tie-ins, various things are being said in the news in the business sense, but I have singular reason,” Kojima wrote via Twitter. “It’s because I want to…
Once upon a time, Microsoft was going to make a big budget Hollywood version of the Halo franchise. Until it spectacularly fell apart. That doesn’t mean it won’t ever happen, says the company. Back in 2005, a film version of Halo was first penned by Alex Garland, writer of The Beach novel and 28 Days…
To: Crecente From: Bashcraft RE: He Who Controls the Spice… Going through my music play list… It’s interesting. Here are the top ten songs I’ve listened to the most. Not necessarily my ten favorite, but the ten songs I’ve listened to the most. I’ll put them at the bottom of the post. But first… Here’s…
Looks like an innocent CD music single packaging for upcoming stealth game Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, right? It’s so not. The CD packaging for “Love Deterrence”, the character theme for PW heroine Paz, has a slip cover. It can be slipped off. …to reveal this! Peace Walker allows players to see through the clothes…
Mamiya, the village leader in the new Fist of of the North Star game, gets a new downloadable costume today. It’s not “new” per se as it’s based on what she wears in the manga. Or so we thought. In fact, the earlier released artwork does not exactly correspond with what players are getting in…
Metal Gear Solid? More Like Metal Gear Solid Advertising, Your Billboard Here Comment by: surft Nominated by: Takara_Kitsune Very Old Snake: War has changed. It’s no longer about nations, ideologies or ethnicity. It’s an endless series of commercials, advertised by mercenaries and machines. War, and the consumption of in-game Doritos, have become a well-oiled business.…
Jiggly fighter Mai Shiranui was not in The King of Fighters XII. She is in upcoming arcade game The King of Fighters XIII. However, she is not in this intro movie, which focuses largely on fighter Ash Crimson. The King of Fighters XIII claims to be the “climax” of the Ash saga. The King of…
Like, really stiff. The girl isn’t, though. She’s into aerobics. To bring everyone up to speed, one time cosplaying Ikki Tousen ladies swung by to play video games, another time a mistress spanked ASCII staffers and, of course, the time the gladiator girl helped with office work. If anyone ever asks you what is the…
It’s a question Kotaku gets a lot: Why do you refer to Gears of War designer Cliff Bleszinski as “Dude Huge”. There is a reason. This is it. For years, Cliff Bleszinski had been known by the moniker “CliffyB”. And then suddenly, during the promotions for Gears of War II, either he or Microsoft had…

Not that there are a ton of music videos about arcade cabinets. There should be, however. That’s retro game lover Keith Apicary singing an ode to the red Neo-Geo Multi Video System cabinet. This video is so right: No one quite did 2D fighters or runnin-and-gunnin’ like the MVS. Music by FantomenK, lyrics by Nathan…
