Yesterday, the Australian government released its long-awaited discussion paper on an adults-only rating for video games (or, as we’d call it, R18+). I’ve already sent in my contribution; any of you care to do the same? The paper has been released to canvas public opinion on whether Australia’s classification guidelines should be amended to include…
Gran Turismo 5’s (second) demo will be out soon. Very soon. You can’t play it yet, then, but you can take a look at these screens showing the cars and track on offer, and in your mind’s eye, prepare.
To: Totilo, Fahey, Mike From: Luke Thanks to everyone who came out to our little get-together on Friday night. I had a blast. Sorry if I was a little loud, but when I drink all afternoon then talk about video games, I tend to get a little excited. So! Last week, I not only took…
It can be said McFarlane make too many Halo figures. A Spartan with a blue helmet, a Spartan with a blue helmet and a slightly different gun…it’s a nickel and dime show. If only you could just buy one figure, and customise it yourself…oh, like you can with this new “Halo Rogue Deluxe Armour Pack”,…

The PS3 Slim was a decent attempt at reducing both the size, and the cost, of the original PlayStation 3. But did you know Sony were considering making some more drastic changes? In an interview with Nikkei, SCE’s Masayuki Chatani, from the company’s strategy planning department, has revealed that not only were Sony looking at…
I received a very strange package in the mail today. It was from Sony. Yet contains one of Nintendo’s less savoury moments. Opening up the envelope, I was presented with a copy of Daredevil, circa December 1989. An original, pre-owned copy. It was a promo for Sony’s upcoming PSP comic store, and as far as…
There was some speculation that, since it was a 2K game and we hadn’t heard from the man since BioShock, what’s become the upcoming Spec Ops title would be the work of Ken Levine and 2K Boston. Well, it’s not. Some had guessed that the initial Spec Ops: The Line trailer was hinting at something…
Sure, Green Day: Rock Band sees Harmonix taking yet another page out of Activision’s book entitled “How To Make Us Sick Of Your Music Franchise”, but it does have one advantage over its predecessor, The Beatles: Rock Band. That game was self-contained. If you wanted to play The Beatles’ songs in another version of Rock…
Don’t let the fact this is an ad for projector manufacturers Epson distract you. What is being done here is brilliant, regardless of the commercial undertones. This guy has a PS3 Slim and a projector strapped to his chest and back, like a Ghostbuster keeping himself busy on his day off, and proceeds to show…
In case you were out this weekend doing something other than sitting at a computer pressing F5 every half an hour, know that you missed a ton of new game announcements. Yes, the Spike Video Game Awards, held on Saturday night, brought the new shit like it was June and this was an E3 of…
Gran Turismo 5 is out in Japan next March. In the West? Sometime later, Sony yet to nail down even a firm release window, let alone a date. Recent comments from SCEA suggest, however, it won’t be any time soon. Sony Computer Entertainment America’s Chris Hinojosa-Miranda has told Destructoid that the game is currently –…
Acclaimed Canadian sci-fi author Peter Watts, who has worked with both Relic and Crytek on game stories, was earlier this week arrested at a US border crossing, and charged with assaulting a federal officer. It’s a serious charge, one that carries a mandatory two-year jail sentence if he’s convicted. In his defence, Watts claims not…
One of the main reasons Sony ditched the “George Foreman” build of the PS3 and went with the new “Slim” was to cut back on manufacturing costs. Try and get back into the black. But they’re not quite there. According to a report on iSuppli – who have been doing this kind of thing for…
You remember that Left 4 Dead mobile from a few months back? Andrea made that. Andrea also made these newer models, one for BioShock, the other for Shadow of the Colossus. So you’ve got a choice! Either indoctrinate your baby from an early age that its entire existence has been to serve as a puppet…
Aspyr, a publisher best known for porting games to the PC & Mac, is today instead best known for supposedly firing a whole bunch of employees. According to a report on Big Download, “over 50 percent” of Aspyr’s workforce have recently been shown the door, with those remaining left to shamble around the company’s now-spacious…
Pac-Man Championship Edition, the Xbox Live Arcade remake of Namco’s classic arcade title, was far better than anyone was expecting. On Xbox. How it fares now it’s heading for the iPhone is anyone’s guess. I’ve played the original Pac-Man on iPhone and didn’t really like it, for the same reason I don’t really like most…
With December 31 almost upon us, Google have released two lists, each showcasing the biggest iPhone games of 2009. The first has the ten top-selling games, and is dominated by established franchises and intellectual property. Indeed, only a single title – Firemint’s Flight Control – crashing the party. The other list highlights the ten games…
That Dead Space 2 issue of Game Informer has hit people’s mailboxes, and it’s full of proper details on the game. Like the fact Isaac will now speak. Let us all take a look, yes? First up, the game is set on a space station called “Sprawl”, built upon the husk of one of Saturn’s…
Project Natal has a name. Well, at least, a working title. But Sony’s motion controller does not have a name. Or a working title. It’s just…the motion controller. But does EA boss John Riccitiello know something we don’t? Speaking at the UBS 37th Annual Global Media Conference on Wednesday morning in New York, Riccitiello apparently…
