The 90-Minute Review Of Star Wars: Attack Of The Clones [Update]

Forget watching a movie; the best 90 minutes of video you’ll see tonight is this epic recap of Attack of the Clones, the latest in RedLetterMedia’s enjoyable series of serial killer movie reviews. These are so great not just because they’re funny, but because when you look past the “women trapped in a basement” shtick…

The PS3 Slim Goes Portable

The PS3 Slim isn’t just slim, it’s also lighter than the previous model of the console. Which means it’s slightly easier to take the thing on the road. Hence this portable gaming rig. Built by Japanese peripheral specialists Hori, it’s an LCD screen that attaches to the top of the console, and is able to…

Twenty Years Late, Tremors Gets A Game Adaptation

Tremors, a 1990 comedy/horror film about underground monsters terrorising a small town in Nevada, is about the best thing Kevin Bacon ever did. It’s also the best flash game I played all weekend. The aim of the game is simple: much like the movie, you need to assemble a cast of survivors, then elude the…

Resident Evil 4 Shambles Onto The iPad

Resident Evil 4 was great on the GameCube. PS2 as well. On the iPhone, though, it wasn’t so great. Could an iPad version be any better? Part of the reason it sucked was because the iPhone’s tiny screen and feeble horsepower neutered much of the game’s atmosphere, one of its most important aspects. But the…

Star Wars, Like You’ve Never Seen It Before

Star Wars games have often tried to paint the franchise in a different light, from Super Star Wars’ over-abundance of bad guys to LEGO Star Wars’ fondness of plastic dismemberment. But these animation shorts, these are different These short clips, made late last year, are part of the excellent “Star Wars Uncut” project (which we’ve…

Red Faction Movie Wants To Smash Earth With A Giant Hammer

Just because a game isn’t a AAA franchise doesn’t mean it can’t work as a movie. Take Hitman, for example. OK, bad example. How about Red Faction! Publisher THQ is looking to get a movie adaptation of the franchise off the ground, figuring it’s been long enough since Total Recall for the world to embrace…

Starcraft 2, Meet Tetris, Tetris, Starcraft 2

How do you make Tetris better? Or, for that matter, PC strategy series Starcraft? You could always try playing a combination of the two, using Terran buildings in the Starcraft 2 beta. You might want to turn off the sound, since the Tetris jingle can’t drown out the mechanical cacophony, but that’s OK. You don’t…

Mass Effect 2: Firewalker Micro-Review: Free Tanks, Enquire Within

Mass Effect 2’s “Firewalker”, the fourth piece of downloadable content for BioWare’s excellent sci-fi role-playing game, is the first to give you a bonafide land vehicle to play with. And it’s a tank, no less. The entire DLC revolves around the fate of the crew of a missing survey ship. You and your merry band…

Sword & Sworcery, The iPhone’s Mysterious Adventure, Is Powered By The Moon

What is Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP, the mysterious adventure game with a funny name? If you read our GDC coverage of the game, you know. If not… It’s an iPhone adventure game that’s been getting its fair share of attention over the past few months, and a post over on Offworld today offers a…

Microsoft Going After British Control Pad Company

Microsoft is taking a British peripheral manufacturer to court, alleging that the company – Datel – has “illegally copied” the publisher’s own Xbox 360 control pad designs. The case centres around two of Datel’s third-party Xbox 360 control pads, the TurboFire and WildFire, which Microsoft claim infringe upon a “number” of patents governing its own,…

Bayonetta Goes All Master System

I know, we’ve been trying to restrict April Fool’s stuff to a single post, but since this clip – of Bayonetta re-imagined as an 8-bit side-scroller – isn’t really a joke or a scam, it’s worth a closer look. Put together by Platinum Games, the actual developers of Bayonetta, it shows the hair-clad heroine in…

PAL PlayStation Store Update: Dust Off That PSP

I don’t normally draw attention to the regular sales held on the PAL PlayStation Store, but this week, there are some damn good sales going on for anyone who hasn’t bought a PSP game in a while. Games like God of War, LittleBigPlanet, Gran Turismo and Chinatown Wars are now around half price. Bargain. There’s…

Want To Watch Amazon Box Your Games?

Online giant Amazon is one of the world’s largest sellers of video games. And soon, you might get the pleasure of…watching Amazon’s workers pack your games before they send them? Sounds equal parts kooky and creepy, but it’s something Amazon has in mind, with a patent recently submitted for a system that would capture the…
