Rather than hire Nolan North, or the three guys that do all of Bethesda’s voice work, Heavy Rain did the smart thing and went and got some proper actors. Best part is, they didn’t stop at using just their voices. Like Half-Life 2 and Mass Effect 2 have done previously with great success, Quanitc Dream…
Everyone loves Star Wars, right? And Indiana Jones? But do you love them so much you’d sign into PlayStation Home and pay money for some virtual cosplay? Sony announced earlier today that Lucasarts will soon be going for the hip-pockets of fans of its two most treasured (and long-suffering) franchises, with a range of gear…
Nintendo has won its second legal victory of the month in Australia, with a seller of R4 flash cartridges in the country ordered to pay the Japanese company over AUD$500,000 in fines. Local tech distributors RSJ. IT Solutions, which had been selling the cartridges – which allow for the use of both legally-acquired homebrew and…
Earlier today, I became one of the first people in the world to fire up Starcraft II’s beta. And while it’s too soon to share my impressions of the game with you, it’s not too early to share some screenshots. I’ve tried to get a nice balance of races and terrain here, to give you…
STALKER: Call of Pripyat is the third game in the first-person shooter STALKER series, but seeing as it’s also meant to fix its predecessors many, glaring failures, it’s also a first. Again set in a near-future world centred around the Chernobyl exclusion zone, Call of Pripyat is supposed to be more focused, and more importantly…
You know, it’s Toy Fair week, people have toys on the brain, so let’s run with it. Hong Kong craftspeople Hot Toys weren’t able to make it to New York, but they did slip some Iron Man in our inbox. It’s a special limited edition release of the company’s Iron Man Mark III, as you’ll…
EA’s “Project Ten Dollar”, the company’s attempts at giving the used game business a dead arm, will be a part of Battlefield Bad Company 2’s launch, just as it was with Mass Effect 2’s. BBC2 will feature an in-game store, access to which will be given out for free to people who purchase new copies…
Yeah, you’ve seen glimpses of the toys based on the upcoming Transformers game War For Cybertron, but Toy Fair is no place for glimpses. Here are Bumblebee and Optimus Prime in all their glory, in both robot and vehicle modes, Prime looking…pretty much like he always looks, while Bumblebee looks like a Moebius robot that…
World of Warcraft has seen its fair share of clones and wannabes over the years, but few have been as blatant – or as touching – as World of Lordcraft. Instead of pitching itself as direct competitor, WoL is a turn-based online strategy game (think Civony), which its creators say is a “fan game”. We’d…
Here are some new pieces coming out of Toy Fair earlier in the week; the first statues based on Jim Lee’s artwork for DC Universe Online, and a rather cranky-looking baby from Dante’s Inferno. He’s an unbaptised baby, answering the question of just what happens to those little guys, and will be released in the…
This week, both Sony and Microsoft have moved forward with plans to integrate their console’s online networks with handheld devices. Thing is, they’re doing it wrong. While Microsoft’s WM7 interface looks amazing, the way it’s making use of Xbox Live is wasteful. Counter-productive. Same goes for Sony; while it’s admirable the company wants to allow…
With Street Fighter IV about to make an unexpected trip to the iPhone, it’s understandable that Capcom has handheld ports on the brain. Could the PSP be next? Answering some fan questions on her blog, Capcom’s Natsuki Shiozawa has revealed she’d like to see the game appear on Sony’s handheld. As would anybody wondering why…
Yup, more toys from Toy Fair, this time in the form of that clown from Twisted Metal who I hate because he reminds me of Insane Clown Posse. Oh, and some of the lovable cast from Resistance 2. I’ll never understand why some game franchises are able to get figured around their release date, while…
Well, here’s our first genuine surprise since the official reveal of Sonic 4: Sega, and its cherished Sonic Team studio, isn’t developing the game. Instead, Osaka-based Dimps will be. Best known for their recent work on Street Fighter IV with Capcom (and also for its work on Dragonball Z’s cartoon fighters), Dimps will also be…
Supposed scans from the latest issue of Famitsu – along with some equally supposed off-screen shots – suggest that there might be three more characters on the way for Super Street Fighter IV. Those three characters – as expected – are Ibuki, Makoto and Dudley, all of which made their debut in Street Fighter III,…
There are plenty of games around that are built to be played any time. There are few, sadly, that specialise in being played under select conditions. Like if you’re stressed. Or have stumbled home from the pub at 3am. A puzzle game we’ve featured previously on Kotaku, Chime may at first glance appear familiar. You…
For those saying “bwah”, see here and here.
Perhaps because it features environments that are wet, rather than covered in ice, Britons flocked last week to stores to get hold of BioShock 2, which has promptly knocked Just Dance from the nation’s video gaming pedestal. The 360 version took top honours for the week, while the PS3 came in at #3. Even the…
With Criterion no longer providing downloadable content for Burnout Paradise, one of the generation’s best-supported games is about to slide into the history books. So publisher EA is going to send it off with a bang. EA announced on Friday that, until March 31, you’ll be able to get Burnout Paradise and its roster of…
