Capcom’s Mega Man 10, the second in their attempts to go back in time and develop “new” NES-style games, will be out in March, the publisher announced today. It’ll arrive on WiiWare first, on March 1, followed by the PlayStation Network on March 11 and then Xbox Live Arcade on March 31. Not that I…
Which do you want first, Mac users? Bad news? OK, bad news first: the upcoming Starcraft II beta won’t be gracing the Mac later this month. For now, it’s PC only. Sorry. Now for the good news! The good news is, Telltale – developers of the episodic adventure series based on Sam & Max, Monkey…
Space and laser guns feature prominently in this week’s PC sales charts, last week’s consumers opting for aliens and bright-coloured uniforms over olive-grey outfits and the real world. Least, they did on the whole. You have to overlook Bad Company 2 at the #1 spot on Steam if you want to think sci-fi games dominated…
Valve released a statistic today. Not the boring type, like “sales are up 156% compared to this time last year”. The awesome type, like “this is how many zombies have been killed in Left 4 Dead 2”. Since the game was released late last year, players have wiped out 28,981,249,043 (and counting) card-carrying members of…
Here you go, the first ever screenshots of Lionhead’s upcoming King-Playing-Game for the Xbox 360, Fable III.
Know what I like about this Dead Rising 2 clip? It’s rough. Presentation isn’t its strong-point; rather, it’s in showing the possibilities inherent in leaving a man alone with sharp things and some zombies. Just like the game itself. Click to view
Lots of Microsoft news today, and where there’s news, there’s box art. Here’s what you’ll see staring back at you when you go into a game store and spy Halo: Reach, Crackdown 2 and Alan Wake. You’ll notice two Alan Wake boxes; the normal one, and the giant fake book one. The collector’s edition features…
In addition to sackings at Neversoft and Luxoflux, Kotaku has learned today that publisher Activision has also laid off employees at RedOctane and internal studio Underground Development. We’ve heard that RedOctane, the publisher of the original Guitar Hero and creator of the franchise’s plastic instruments, has been completely shut down. Those responsible directly for the…
Microsoft and Remedy released a new trailer for Alan Wake today. I love how he gets hit by a flying mine cart and just shrugs it off.
Normally, I don’t write these until Friday Australian time. Yet here it is, Thursday night, and I’m writing up the PAL PlayStation Store update. What could possibly compel Sony to release it half a day early? Turns out, not much. The Heavy Rain demo is officially out, but then we told you how to get…
As seen on Blast.
As of right now, you can use an Xbox 360 to play games, watch movies, listen to music and communicate with people. In the future, however, Microsoft would like you to also use it for health care. The R&D guys at Microsoft Research are hard at work finding ways for new uses for the Xbox…
According to a report conducted by research company TNS and sports broadcaster ESPN, there simply aren’t enough ads in today’s sports games. Using EA’s major titles as an example, the report found that 38% of sports gamers spend as much time playing their favourite sports games as they do watching their favourite sport. It also…
EA has released some new screenshots for World Cup 2010, featuring England v Holland, Spain v Italy, USA v Mexico, Germany v Portugal and GIANT WAYNE ROONEY HEAD. Get a look at those nostrils. They alone could almost carry the weight of England’s expectations. Almost. On a side note, for USA fans, those won’t be…
Sensing that Capcom and Hasbro were never going to release an official version, Nicholas Endean decided to make his own Monopoly: Resident Evil Edition. And make one he has. No expense has been spared: two boards have been crafted, and Nicholas has even gone to the trouble if re-writing every single Chance and Community Chest…
You may think that, in 2010, TV show Survivor was totally irrelevant. Without interest. And you’d be right, except for this: a submission tape from Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter designer Christian Allen. Aside from designing video games, it seems Christian is also a wilderness nut, Alaska native, former Marine and bear shouter. Oh, and poncho…
Not the best of days for World of Warcraft news, this, with the announcement of the game’s stagnant userbase followed by a revelation most new WoW players barely scratch at Azeroth’s surface. Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime said earlier today that 70% of people playing on a WoW trial account (which I’d imagine would be most…
Proving the power of internet hope, EA’s Jeff Green has announced today that, despite earlier reports indicating otherwise, there might still be a PC version of Dead Space 2. “Rumor fact check”, the ex-games journo and now Electronic Arts employee wrote on his Twitter account today. “There *will* be a PC version of Dead Space…
So, that story the other day about an Australian man being ordered to pay Nintendo AUD$1.5 million? Yeah, something’s not quite right about it. A day after the news broke, there was a piece in Australia’s Sydney Morning Herald profiling the man in question, 24 year-old Queenslander James Burt. It leads with a pic of…
So your game is suffering from some poor publicity? Why not have a building-sized version of Red Dead Redemption’s hero John Marston blow all your troubles away. Continuing a long tradition of plastering New York City streets with giant game posters, this Red Dead poster can be seen on the corner of Canal & Greene…
