Don’t know who Nolan North is? Play Uncharted. Or Prince of Persia. Or Halo Wars, Lost Planet, or Assassin’s Creed. He’s without a doubt the most recognisable voice actor in video games today, and in 2010, he will be busy. In an interview with Gamepro, North says 2010 “is gonna be a busy year”, with…
James Cameron’s Avatar has brought in over $1 billion at the box office. Activision’s Modern Warfare 2 has done likewise. Let’s see how a blockbuster film and a blockbuster video game compare. As you can see, when it comes to profit – the only number that really matters – the two are relatively close, the…
Those Gran Turismo 5 screens didn’t come alone. Oh no. This trailer came along for the ride. Click to view
Creative Assembly Announced today that Napoleon: Total War, sequel of sorts to the amazing Empire: Total War, will be out next month. “Napoleon: Total War will be released on 23rd February 2010!”, a message says on the company’s Twitter account. No word on whether that’s just in Europe or worldwide, but with the game being…
Toyota’s FT-86 G concept sports car will feature in Gran Turismo 5, which handily explains why it’s the star of these new screenshots
Normally, despite the fact it’s often not as timely or as generous with content as its US counterpart, there’s always something to recommend on the PAL PlayStation Store. Not this week. No, a scan down the list of stuff available reveals that not only is this week’s update lacking in quantity, but also quality, with…
Sony today released a number of new screens for upcoming brawler God of War III. Swords and angry men feature prominently. The game, sure to be one of the biggest of the year on the PlayStation 3, will be out in March.
Rockstar Games has yet to respond publicly to allegations that staff working on Red Dead Redemption have suffered through poor work conditions, but this apparent internal email is the next best thing. Posted on Gamasutra, the supposed email to RSD employees goes to great lengths to distance the company from the accusations levelled against it…
In case you don’t make it to the end of this clip, no, this is not what the annual Game Developers Conference in San Francisco is like. It should be, though. It really, really should be.
Two games were notable by their absence yesterday from Ubisoft’s fiscal report. Those games were I Am Alive and Beyond Good & Evil 2. So what’s the deal, Ubisoft? Well, the Frenchmen at Gamekult spoke yesterday with Ubisoft’s Geoffroy Sardin, and asked him precisely that. His response? “Ils sont toujours en production tous les deux…”,…
Print this off, stick it to the back of your bedroom/toilet door, and get to memorising. Occasional questionable figure aside, this will definitely help you win fights on the playground/at the pub. Videogame statistics [Online Education]
So the Wii now has Netflix, just like the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. This, however, raises an inconsistency: both those systems can display high definition content, something the humble little Wii can not. This should be a concern for Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime, right? Apparently not, as he shrugs off the notion…
Digital purchases might be the future, but that’s just the thing with the future; it’s in the future. Today is the present, and today, people still prefer buying things that are pressed on plastic and come in boxes. A study performed by the NPD Group has found that during Q3 2009 (August-September), 90% of all…

Darkness, a man in a jacket, flashlights…yup, Alan Wake is back with some new screenshots, to get you excited for a game that still feels like it’s never going to actually come out.
It’s been 18 months since we first heard that Ubisoft’s studio in Newcastle, England was working on a new game in the Driver series. Today, Ubisoft reminded us that, despite this silence, the game is still in development. It’s a while off, though, with the publisher pegging the game for a fiscal year 2011 release,…
Been a while since we heard anything about I Am Alive, and with good reason; the game is still years away from release, with Ubisoft today leaving the survival title off its 2010-2011 release schedule. The game was originally due to appear in March 2010, but in 2009 was pushed back to Ubisoft’s 2010-2011 fiscal…
We’re sorry we showed you that Professor Layton figure last year. It may have led some of you to try and buy one. We’re sorry about that because you should probably check out this one instead. It’s much better. This baby is made by masters of the posable action figure, Kaiyodo, and is part of…
During Ubisoft’s fiscal report from earlier today, it was disclosed that sales of Assassin’s Creed II – 2009’s little engine that could – are now very healthy indeed. I say “little engine” because while Modern Warfare 2 spent the latter half of 2009 dominating all talk of game sales, to date Assassin’s Creed II has…
The new Nintendo DSi XL – already out in Japan, where it’s known as the DSi LL – will be released in Europe in March, Nintendo has announced. It will be available on March 5, on both the continent and in the UK, in red and dark brown. The Nintendo DSi XL is essentially a…
