To go with the preview and videos we threw up overnight, here are some new screenshots for Mass Effect 2, showing some good guys, some bad guys, and an old friend.
Speaking on GameTrailers TV, Nintendo of America’s Reggie Fils-Aime has, with a smile and some stern words, crushed into tiny, tiny pieces the prospect of a HD revision of the Wii. Chatting with host Geoff Keighley, Fils-Aime said of the rumour, long kicked around by analysts and members of the press: Reggie: Michael [Pachter] continues…
This weeks PAL PlayStation Store update is a small one, but despite dire warnings on the European PlayStation site, things aren’t as bad as you’d think. While genuinely new content is thin on the ground, there are plenty of sales to make up for it, like substantial savings on Siren: Blood Curse and a range…
The fact the iPhone is a veritable wild west for developers can often be a good thing. Then again, when shadier outfits start releasing shadier apps, it can also be a bad thing. Take iPhone game developer Storm8, for example. A class action lawsuit filed in San Francisco alleges that the company, who are behind…
In between all the developer blah blah blah, you’ll see in this first clip a bunch of new footage for Mass Effect 2, primarily focusing on the game’s enemies, both new and old. Click to view And in this second, some long stretches of gameplay punctuated by strippers, hard liquor and an old war buddy.…
While the worst of it seems to be behind us, 2009 will still be remembered as the year of the global economic crisis. And when people are in times of economic crisis, well, they buy less video games. A joint report issued by Enterbrain, the NPD Group and GfK Chart-Track has revealed that video game…
The British trailer for the upcoming Prince of Persia movie is quite different to the American one, as it comes complete with not just new footage, but a handy voice-over as well.
If you’re one of the lucky people who have already played the God of War III demo, great! Good for you. The rest of us will have to watch this gameplay clip and just wait a little harder. Pro tip: don’t watch this at work. Or in front of small children.
During an earnings Q&A earlier today, Activision spoke a little of their 2010 product line-up. A line-up that you may be stunned to hear includes new Call of Duty, Guitar Hero and Spider Man games. You can no doubt imagine the kind of shambling corpse that’ll be trotted out as Guitar Hero 6 (or whatever…
Super Street Fighter IV is bringing back some old Street Fighter favourites: bonus stages. Towards the end of this trailer, you’ll get a good look at the new additions in action. Poor car. Poor barrels. Click to view
Major online retailer Direct2Drive have announced today that the year’s biggest game – Modern Warfare 2 – won’t be made available on their PC digital delivery service. Why? Because of rival platform Steam, of course! Activision’s shooter includes mandatory installation of Valve’s Steamworks, which the game uses for stuff like installation, DRM and save-game management.…
Like the console’s appearance, logo and full-price game boxes, the PS3’s line of budget titles – the Greatest Hits range – has also had a bit of a face-lift recently. It’s nothing drastic, but those long put off by the “cheap” appearance of the line on both the PS2 and (til now) PS3 should appreciate…
Joint figures released by the NPD Group, GfK and Enterbrain have revealed that Square Enix’s Dragon Quest IX – a DS game unavailable outside Japan – was the biggest-selling game in the world between July and September. The handheld RPG sold 3.93 million units, well clear of Wii Sports Resort, the game in second place…
Say what you will about the merits of Grand Theft Auto IV as a game, there’s no disputing how magnificent a technical achievement it is. After all, few games could make a clip like this so interesting. It’s 15 days in Liberty City, recorded via timelapse. Hypnotising, no? Sadly, it’s not embeddable, so you’ll have…
An REO Speedwagon game. Mull that sentence over for a while, and your mind darts between reactions. Namely, from amused, to confused, to bewildered, then back to amused, via a short stop-over utter disbelief. Called “Find Your Own Way Home”, it doesn’t sound like much of a game – it’s billed as a “hidden object…
Keita Takahashi is a creative guy. Pads around bare-foot, comes up with stuff like Katamari Damacy. We love him for it, but at the same time, get the impression his heart’s just not in it anymore. It’s not a feeling inspired by playing his games. Katamari was great, Noby Noby Boy, also great. It’s based…
November now has a theme we can all get behind, with a Flickr group kicking off Novvember, a month-long event aimed at building as many LEGO Vic Vipers from Gradius as is humanly possible. That’s it! People build Gradius ships out of LEGO for the whole month, post them on Flickr, we all applaud and…
Sony released some new Gran Turismo 5 screens today. Being GT5 screens, you should know what to expect by now: cars that look very, very, very pretty.
Haven’t had a chance to check it out myself, but the remake of classic sci-fi series V certainly seemed to go down OK with viewers. Making this the perfect time to hear from the show’s game-mad executive producer, Jace Hall. That name may sound familiar. Hall has been in the games business for years, having…
If you’re the kind of person to grit their teeth and clench their fists at even the thought of one more over-played Portal reference, it might be best to give this Left 4 Dead 2 clip a miss. Still with us? Yeah, that’s “Still Alive” blasting out that jukebox. Those with the demo might want…
