During this week’s Kotaku Talk Radio we had on MTV’s Russ Frushstick to talk about QuakeCon, cheating in Madden 10, playing easy and other spicy topics. More importantly we had on you, our readers, phoning in live to ask questions and talk games. If you missed the live, call-in show you can stream the full…
In this week’s episode of Kotaku Talk Radio we’ll be talking about QuakeCon, playing easy in Red Faction: Guerrilla, buying your way to victory in Madden, the posh office settings and flat panels of gaming’s greatest developers and having a quick listen to an 8-bit Weezer tribute album. Better still, myself and guest co-host Russ…
Last week we ran a feature showing off the desks and play places of some of gaming’s greatest developers and producers. Today we’re adding two more set ups for your perusal. Tim Schafer, founder of Double Fine productions and the man behind Brutal Legend, and Cliff Bleszinski, Epic Games designer and the face of Gears…
Wolfenstein RPG hit the iPhone last night with a neat, almost cel-shaded look. I was a bit surprised, though, to see Hitler’s new look in the game. Unwilling, it seems, to keep Hitler in the turn-based title, the developers decided the next best thing would be to create a leader who has lower facial hair…
To: Bash From: Crecente Re: Watch Out! I Will Eat Real Pizza We’re on to our second podcast tomorrow. We’ll have MTV’s Russ Frushtick on hand to help with the live calls in Totilo’s place. Totilo is winging his way to Quakecon tomorrow to get a belly full of id and perhaps games from a…
Due out this fall, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories has you exploring the streets of Silent Hill for Harry Mason’s missing daughter Cheryl. The screens give you a glimpse of the PSP and Wii game’s flashlight controls, which give the game a bit of extra creep.
We were so happy with how well our pilot episode of Kotaku Talk Radio turned out that we’ve decided to shoot for a weekly live, call-in podcast. This week on Kotaku Talk Radio we’ll be talking about QuakeCon, playing easy in Red Faction: Guerrilla, buying your way to victory in Madden, the posh office settings…
We are a week away from Electronic Arts and Sony Computer Entertainment’s press conferences unofficially kicking off the massive Gamecom convention in Cologne and I’m downright giddy. Capcom is too, it sounds like, shooting off an email about all of the games that they’ll have on hand for European gamers to check out. Lost Planet…
The Ultimate Power Station by CTA looks pretty impressive, with charging, a dock, fan, alarm clock and lights all built into a single device. The main cradle connects to the AC, AV inputs and Sensor Bar connection on the back of the Wii console. The center slot houses a built-in fan that is aligned with…
That’s right you can now play the original Duke Nukem 3D on your iPhone or iPod Touch. But would you want to? Duke Nukem 3D for the iPhone is a complete port of the original 1991 shooter. That means the over-the-top soundbites, the gratuitous pixelated borderline soft porn and the more than 20 hours worth…
The Prince of Darkness, and World of Warcraft spokesman, Ozzy Osbourne will be headlining the closing concert at this year’s BlizzCon, Activision announced today. “Our goal with BlizzCon is to deliver an unforgettable weekend of entertainment, and we can’t think of a better way to close out this year’s show than having Ozzy rock the…
To: Ash From: Crecente Re: Step Into My Parlor Tristan and I were walking the dogs early this morning when we got into the sort of hypothetical, nonsensical conversation that only a father and his young son can get into. Tristan pointed to the creek by the trail and noted that one of his forts…
It looks like those red and blue Playstation 3 controllers may be arriving a bit earlier than expected. The two controllers were said to be arriving sometime in October when we caught a gander at them, but a photo from Gamestop seems to show that the two will be hitting on Sept. 22. And just…
Dirt 2 has plenty going for it from what I’ve seen of the early build I spent the weekend playing. But more on that later, right now I want you to soak in this odd use of Xbox 360 avatars. With plenty more to unlock in the rally racing game, I look forward to other…
Activision today confirmed that Tony Hawk: Ride will be hitting North American retailers on Nov. 17 and U.K. and German retailers on Nov. 20. They didn’t, though, confirm the games price, which retailers places at $120. The game will be at GamesCom in Cologne, Germany next week. We’ll make sure to test out more of…
Super Nintendo Entertainment System classic Super Star Wars hits the Wii’s Virtual Consol today for 800 points, kicking off a month of Star Wars releases and content for Nintendo’s console. Both Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi are set to hit the virtual console in coming…
To: Ash From: Crecente Re: You Know What’s Delicious? I guess I shouldn’t really call a SpotBot a robot. It’s really just a little carpet cleaner that you place on a stain, press a button and walk away… unless you’re me. If you’re me you sit nearby and stare at it because you think it’s…
The summers of my childhood were marked with scars. Good scars, not bad ones. There’s the time I split my knee racing friends while wearing flip-flops. The stitches in my head earned during a vigorous match of tag. The countless skinned elbows, bumps and bruises of a youth spent on skateboard and bike. Those were…
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. Inside today’s package was a large white rock with the words Fossil Fighters cut into its surface.…
That’s right, when Gamescom premieres in Cologne in two weeks they won’t just have their very own awards, they’ll also be looking for possible contenders out of the possibly extinct Gameboy market. The Gamescom Award for best games at the trade fair will hand out honors in a number of categories with the help of…
