Valve played it cute at tonight’s Game Developers Choice Awards, rigging up a fake Blue Screen Of Death during boss Gabe Newell’s time on stage. Course, it wasn’t just a BSOD. It also contained some cryptic Portal 2 marketing. A poster over on Penny Arcade has cracked the code contained within the message (pictured above),…
Dragon Age’s big expansion, Awakenings, is out next week. It’ll feature new dimly-lit areas to kill things in, and new bad guys – like the Architect here – to take a swing at. Awakenings will be released on March 16 for the PS3, PC and Xbox 360 (or March 18 if you live in Europe).…
This week, on the North American PlayStation Store: Mega Man 10, some new duds for MAG players and a big bundle of Resident Evil 5 zombie dirtbike goodness. This is the first American update I’ve done in a while, and I have to ask: do you get this many Rock Band songs every week? If…
We just were sent a load of images from what we’re told are screens a Deus Ex: Human Revolution trailer.
Take Advance Wars, replace tanks with Transformers, then release it on the iPhone. Sounds like a dream, but that’s exactly what Glu Mobile has done with Transformers: G1 Awakening. In what is actually an iPhone port of a mobile game from a year or two back, Awakening is a turn-based strategy game that puts you…
I’ve always loved the video for Sabotage, by the Beastie Boys. I love it more, though, when its hokey 70’s cop show footage is replaced – scene for scene – with clips from Battlestar Galactica. I mean it. It’s scene for scene. Watch the Galactica clip, above, then compare it to the original, below (or,…
Yesterday, Sony took the wraps off the PlayStation Move, which some people will call Sony’s next big thing in video gaming, and others will call a shameless Wii Remote rip-off. Here’s everything you need to know about it. We’ll be updating this post constantly as we find out more about the Move. WHAT IS IT?…
This is Sony Europe’s handy instructional trailer for the newly-christened PlayStation Move. Isn’t it chipper? I don’t think this is the right way to go about marketing this, though. Despite the important differences, people already have, and probably forever will, compare the Move to the Wii Remote. Showing the manner of interaction will only invite…
Slider may well be one of the more interesting launch titles for the PlayStation Move, in that it involves the player performing kung-fu. While belting through city streets on an office chair. Not only is its premise a cut above the other games on offer for the Move, but its visuals look a little better…
Here’s our first ever official, up-close look at Sony’s PlayStation Move motion-control peripheral, due later this year. We’ve seen it before of course, back when it didn’t have a name, but Sony has never actually released official press shots of the device until now, giving us such a close look at both the main wand…
According to the man who’s had to write the cheques for the game’s development, Electronic Arts is taking massive multiplayer online title The Old Republic seriously. Very seriously. Speaking at a Wedbush Morgan Securities get-together earlier today, EA’s Eric Brown revealed that the upcoming Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO is the “largest ever development…
When the PlayStation Move is released later this year, it won’t just be Sony making games for the thing. A grand total of 36 third-party publishers are also signed up to develop games for the motion-sensing peripheral. That tally includes some big names, like Capcom, Activision, Sega, EA, Konami, Square Enix and Ubisoft, and some…
The first press shots of the PlayStation Move look delicious, courtesy of the bright coloured balls perched atop the peripheral. Wondering why there’s so much variety? So were we. While many people’s first instinct is that the Move will ship with different coloured spheres, or that perhaps they’re interchangeable, truth is that while at rest,…
With the PlayStation Move looking, well, similar to Nintendo’s Wii Remote, you may have wondered how long it would take until it was announced a Wii game was being ported to the PS3. The answer? How about, oh, a few hours Warner Bros let us know today that The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn’s Quest,…
Just like we told you, there will be a Monkey Island 2: Special Edition. Here are your first screenshots! And not just screenshots, comparison shots! So we can all see how far video games have come in the past 19 years, and then fill a comments section of a video game website with calls for…
Fun fact: I’m a history graduate, so when a Total War game comes along, I’m normally first in line. Especially when it involves pipes, muskets and rad uniforms, because they remind me not of Napoleon, but of Waterloo. The movie. I bring this up because, taking place long before motion picture, audio recordings or even…
We’ve seen the figures for LEGO’s Prince of Persia range before, but not the actual playsets. So let’s look at those playsets. And yes, there are ostriches. There are also camels, men in turbans and palm trees. So far, so good. In fact, the only thing we can see wrong so far is that Chesty…
Shatter, already available on the PSN, is one of the more prominent titles from this year’s Independent Games Festival awards. It’s also got an amazing soundtrack, and now, video clips to boot. This is Amethyst Caverns, one of the tracks from the game, which was released last year by Kiwi development house Sidhe (who also…
Go on. Guess. Or, if you don’t feel like guessing, read on to see the shipment figures for Final Fantasy XIII Square Enix released overnight. With two million units shipped in Japan since the game’s release there in December and three million sent to stores in the West for its release here this week, that…
Should you ever wish to graduate from baking cakes or wearing t-shirts of Nintendo’s mascot of mascots, you could always do what this guy and his girlfriend did: fill a room with custom Mario furniture. It’s the work of Dennis and his lady friend Judith, who as a mechanical engineering student probably did most of…
