This is SurfaceScape, a project aimed at taking Microsoft’s “Surface” touch-screen table and bending it to the will of a bunch of tabletop gamers. Watch the clip below. Especially the first couple of minutes, with the practical demonstrations. Then imagine playing a game of Warhammer 40K on it. It’s like the perfect blend of video…
Look, I love Valkyria Chronicles. And am really looking forward to this sequel. And am all for honest screenshots. But seeing a publisher release screens of this quality puts a bit of a dampener on things. Before you ask, yes, these are proper screenshots, not magazine scans.
Earlier this week, a French court dismissed Nintendo’s case against Divineo, a manufacturer of DS flash cartridges, on the grounds that Nintendo shouldn’t be locking people out of development on the handheld. Instead, the presiding judge advised Nintendo that it should adopt a more accessible development platform, like that you’d find on a PC. As…
Gizmodo have turned up an interesting job advert for Apple, the computing giants on the look-out for somebody to handle a project involving 3D graphics & environments, character design and multimedia experiences. All for the company’s iPhone. Now, on its own, that doesn’t count for much. While a project involving such things could be for…
Totilo thought The Saboteur was a little rough on PlayStation 3. Lucky. He could have been playing it on PC with an ATI graphics card, in which case it wouldn’t have worked at all. The game’s official boards have been flooded with complaints from users claiming that ATI’s 3k, 4k and 5k cards won’t run…
If you were worried that Capcom would somehow skimp on the dramatic gestures when it came to Phoenix Wright Wii’s motion controls, don’t. They’re dramatic. As this enthusiastic family of legal eagles will now demonstrate.
No Doubt suing Activision was one of the feel-good stories of 2009. Mostly because it involved somebody suing Activision. Activision, however, are now counter-suing No Doubt. And things are probably going to get messy. No Doubt’s beef comes from the fact they claim they only signed on to appear in the game singing No Doubt…
It’s finished. Only $4999.
Michael Jordan isn’t available as a player in NBA2K10. Heck, he’s barely available as a player in any video game. So it’s left to super-fans like MessenjahMatt to not only get him in there, but recreate his most famous moves. I don’t even want to guess how long it took this guy to not only…
A trailer, with orchestral score and voice-acting, for a patch? It can only be World of Warcraft. Click to view
Last month, we told you about the United States Air Force’s plans to purchase around 2200 PlayStation 3 consoles to crunch some data with. Wonder what that kind of horsepower actually looks like? Here’s just a taste. This is the back room of the USAF Research Laboratory’s information directorate in Rome, New York, and these…
Amanita Design‘s Machinarium, one of the year’s most charming (and sadly underrated) PC titles, has previously been available only as a digital download. Next year, however, it’ll graduate to a boxed, retail copy. Mamba Games have picked up the publishing rights to the adventure game, and will release Machinarium to stores next March in the…
America’s Army may be the US military’s most super-effective recruitment tool, but that kind of effectiveness comes at a price. It’s been revealed today that since first beginning the recruitment-tool-masquearading-as-a-game project in 2000, America’s Army has cost the US military – well, really, the US tax payer – $32.8 million. That’s just a little over…
Telltale Games put Sam & Max on hold for a little while there, tending to the needs of Monkey Island fans the world over. Now that series is done, however, it’s back to the dog & rabbit show. A new site has popped up over on Telltale’s domain, teased at the conclusion of the fifth…
There’s a listing over on the website of the Australian Classification Board for a game we’ve never heard of. It’s called Star Wars: Legends. And no, before you ask, it hasn’t been banned. The title was submitted for classification way back in June, and earned the game a Mature rating (for “fantasy violence”). Interestingly, it’s…
EA as a whole may have been having a rough time of it lately, but EA Sports are doing just fine, as evidenced by the number of online matches the brand has played host to in 2009. Speaking with the Nightly Business Report, EA CEO John Riccitiello revealed that in this calendar year alone, “we’ve…
EA Montreal are currently at work on an Army of Two sequel, and as part of that work, have been looking at what was wrong with the first game. Like how Europeans hated it. “We had this whole market in the US that thought the tone was cool, but in Europe everyone thought it was…
So far, we’ve seen two Dead Space 2 pics. One piece of stupid marketing, and the cover of a magazine. May as well make it three, with this new piece of concept art. Let’s see, what have we got…a Marker, a big hole in the ground, and another planet covered in rocks, only this time…
As has been established by science, there are over 100 recent video games set during the Second World War. Yet for a war that literally spanned the globe, we sure do spend a lot of time in, and above, France. John Constantine over at MTV has written a piece today on alternative locations for WW2…
