Project Gotham did it. Burnout did it. So if Gran Turismo creator Kasunori Yamauchi is toying with the idea of putting motorcycles into Gran Turismo, you can’t say it’s without precedent. In an interview with IGN, the Polyphony Digital boss was asked about the possibility of bikes making their way into the game, to which…
According to a report on Destructoid, Sony may be looking at adding a little spice to the PSPgo’s lineup via the addition of the some new colour options for the handheld. The above chart was apparently sent out to consumers by a market research company in the UK. While it’s hardly an official statement from…
IO Interactive, the guys behind the Hitman series and the excellent Mini Ninjas, have moved onto something else. Something that’s nothing like either of those games, apparently. According to a report on CVG, IO’s mystery game (so, it’s not Kane & Lynch 2 or Hitman 5) is “unlike anything else”, Unlike anything? Not quite. “Imagine…
I was actually in the US for Halloween this year. And found something out: it’s not about pumpkins and scary things. It’s about parents dressing their kids up in stuff they, not the kids, like. Not that we’re complaining! No, not when it’s Team Fortress 2. It doesn’t matter this poor girl has no idea…
Need an idea of just how big Modern Warfare 2’s launch has been? Here’s one: over the past week, Activision shipped three million copies of the game…to the United Kingdom. Yes, while most other games on the planet would be happy to ship one million copies across the entire planet, three million units were sent…
According to sources speaking with British trade site MCV, Microsoft’s Project Natal will be released worldwide in November 2010, and may retail for under $80. The details apparently leaked during a round of developer visits in the UK, in which Microsoft toured studios showing off the technology. The same sources reckon 14 games will be…
Poor EA. They bet heavy on the Wii and, of late, the Wii hasn’t been doing so well, contributing at least partly to EA’s recent fiscal/employee issues. Think boss John Riccitiello is happy? Well, no, he is not happy. “To be honest with you, I think the Wii platform has been a little weaker than…
sWeatyp1ts. As seen on Major Nelson.
Funny thing, hype. Sometimes it builds up for months, until the pressure becomes almost unbearable. And other times, it comes out of nowhere. Drops from the ceiling, punches you in the face, steals your wallet and just disappears. You may have noticed. Last night, Activision and Infinity Ward’s Modern Warfare 2 was officially released, a…
Any and all PS3 owners about to receive their Netflix streaming discs, please take note: you may want to keep them in a safe place when they’re not in use, because you’re going to need them for a while. Netflix’s Steve Swasey has told G4 that, as it stands, the only way to watch a…
Australia has, sadly, been in the gaming news for all the wrong reasons these past few months. So, my fellow Aussie readers, here’s something to cheer you up: an antipodean exclusive! Namely, a giant, pink Bayonetta gun. Yes, if you thought Europe’s special edition of the game was nice, ours is nicer. It includes the…
Anyone who does proper exercise could have pointed this out, but it’s always nice to have it in writing; the American Council on Exercise have claimed that Nintendo’s Wii Fit produces “underwhelming results”. The group has released a report on the super-popular home fitness program, drawing on research performed by the University of Wisconsin. And…
Japan gets Final Fantasy XIII this year. Lucky sods. Western fans have to suck it up, wait it out. How long? Maybe not that long, if comments from his Imperial Hotness, Yoichi Wada, are anything to go by. Speaking with GI.biz, Wada said “We’ve completed the master of the Japanese version, and for the US…
Sony may actually have found a meaningful way to get people using PlayStation Home again, at least for a night, by giving away some sweet, sweet Modern Warfare 2 statues. If you join a Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer game via Home between 2100-0100 ET (1800-2200 PT) tonight, you’ll be in the running to win one…
The awkwardly-titled, motion-controlled Resident Evil 5: Alternative Edition will be released in the West as downloadable content, Capcom have announced yesterday. The decision comes after a poll the company held, with users overwhelmingly voting in favour of picking up the game as DLC when it’s released next year, rather than opting for a boxed copy.…
Welcome to last week’s British sales charts, where a number of games have done the chivalrous thing and kept the seat warm for the incoming Modern Warfare 2. You’ll see Wii Fit and Wii Sports Resort up there, which is awful swell of them, but if the 360 and PS3 versions of MW2 aren’t sitting…
Movies have deleted scenes, everyone knows that. But it’s rare we see deleted game scenes, because they’re normally just 1s and 0s, and if they’re not in the final game, we don’t see them. Unless we’re talking Monkey Island! While working on the recent Special Edition of the game, Lucasarts’ Adam Bormann says he had…
Hey, Europe. Your long, long wait for a PSN video marketplace of your own is almost at an end, with the service finally due to kick off next week.

R-Type is coming for the iPhone. Ghosts ‘N Goblins came out over the weekend. Who keeps signing these cheques? R-Type, which is being ported by DotEmu, will be out “sometime in the next few months”, while Ghosts N’ Goblins was released in Japan on Sunday. So…take two games requiring fast, precise controls, then port them…
I’m digging what I’ve seen of Just Cause 2 so far, mostly because of one thing: the game’s grappling hook. And how it may actually give us the game Bionic Commando failed to provide. Just Cause 2 ‘The Grapple’ Mini Doc 3 [GameVideos]
