That “September 23” date was obviously wrong, but not by much, as Valve announced today that Left 4 Dead’s Crash Course DLC will be out next week. September 29 is the date you’ll be able to play through the new campaign on both 360 and PC, which acts as a bridge between the No Mercy…
One Dutch retailer refusing to stock the PSPgo is an isolated incident. But when the Aussie branch of EB Games says “no, thanks” as well, you’ve got a trend on your hands. Kotaku Australia’s David Wildgoose rung around in Sydney this morning and found that not a single EB Games he contacted would be stocking…
Ars Technica’s ever-reliable Xbox mole has revealed that this year, like last year, the 360 will be bundled with a couple of games for the holiday season. According to the insider, who has a flawless track record on these matters, the Elite will soon be bundled with free copies of LEGO Batman and racer Pure.…
To go with the company’s pre-TGS press conference, EA handed out some new screens for Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Here they are.
The Tokyo Game Show doesn’t start until tomorrow, but don’t tell that to EA! They’re kicking things off early this year, with a pre-TGS press conference. We’re there. You should join us.
J Allard, otherwise known as Dr. J Allard, otherwise known as the man we miss from the deepest recesses of our cold, black hearts, has re-surfaced today as the driving force behind a neat-looking new gadget from Microsoft. It’s called the “Courier”, and is a cross between a tablet PC and, well, a Nintendo DS.…
Strange one, this. Mini Ninjas is, at first glance, clearly aimed at children. Or at least children at heart. Big-eyed characters, cute design. But it was also made by the same guys who did Hitman. Mini Ninjas is a game that sees you start off as a young ninja, sent out into the world to…
The (allegedly) leaked Sega-Sony documents from earlier this morning contain mention of a release date for the PS3’s motion controller, along with the possibility of a PSN “import store”. Of the PS3’s motion controller, the alleged Sega document says (and remember, this is neither confirmed, nor from Sony): Motion Controller • Spring 2010 launch (March…
Two of the biggest names in the casual games space, EA and Popcap, have announced that a range of their titles will soon be gracing Nintendo’s downloadable games market on the DSi. Popcap will be offering Bookworm (September) and Bejeweled Twist (October), while EA will be bringing four games: Scrabble, MySims Camera, Littlest Pet Shop,…
Guy by the name of Brian De Vitis put this R2-D2 together. It looks great as an astromech droid, yeah, but wait until you see what he crammed in its guts. The shell of the droid is a modified, improved version of one of those R2-D2 coolers. But the inside consists of a projector (with…
Toy company NECA have already released some God of War figures, yeah, but those are mean, and they’re pointy. We like this one better, because it’s cute, and cuddly. It’s a custom Mighty Muggs figure by Likhang Pinoy Customs, and goes well beyond what you’d expect from such an endeavour, with an assortment of hand-crafted…
You know, for all its flaws – and the game had many – I still enjoyed Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood. So I’ll be dusting it off now that a level creator is on the way. The world builder will be available in two modes: a “simple” mode for basic level creation that’s full…
Just because Creative Assembly are working on a new Total War game doesn’t mean they’ve given up on the last one – Empire – as a new expansion for the game is due next month. It’s called “Warpath”, and is focused on North America, and the conflict between Native Americans and European powers. It includes…
The NPD sales charts come with a hefty caveat: they don’t include digital download sales, meaning we’re not getting the full picture when it comes to game sales. So, to fix this, the NPD Group are introducing digital sales charts. The NPD Group’s David Riley has told MCV “The charts are needed in much the…
FIFA is the biggest of EA’s many big franchises. Indeed, it’s one of the biggest-selling series in the world. So when it comes to making ads for the thing, no expense is spared. For those who aren’t fans of the beautiful game, know that this is full of famous, world-class players. Who, yes, do a…
Direct2Drive’s crazy $5 sale continues this week, with a range of games that have no business being $5 added to the list of discounted titles. Among the newly-added games are Assassin’s Creed, EVE Online, Age of Conan, Titan Quest and Vice City, while plenty of games from last week are still available as well. You…
There’s a TF2 “Team Update” doing the rounds at the moment, which has people thinking a new class – guard dog – is being added to the game. It’s not. But Valve have still given the concept the thumbs up! You can check out the user-made concept here, which has the dog acting as a…
This is a new colour scheme for the Xbox 360 controller, due out next month, which appears to be a GameStop/EB Games exclusive. Gee, what a scoop. It looks like it should be wearing heavy boots and mulling around a mall complaining about things. Or transforming into Spawn in front of a backdrop of flames,…
Infinity Ward are famous! Famous for being the guys behind Call of Duty, and…and…well, that’s it. Just Call of Duty. But don’t tell them that! Because one day, IW would like to do something new. Heck, they think they’re doing something new already, community manager Robert Bowling telling Videogamer “When we feel like we can’t…
On Friday night, Spike TV showed, amongst a ton of Halo 3: ODST coverage, a preview of the upcoming Halo anime project, Halo Legends. Here’s just the anime stuff. Looks…better than I was expecting, actually. Nice blend of ham-it-up chit-chat and some more serious, knife-in-the-neck kind of stuff.
