Former Brodeo member Robert Ashley has a new(ish) podcast, but of more interest to us today, his podcast has some new, amazing posters to go with it. Ashley has teamed up with Olly Moss – who created those great gaming “book covers” – to release a number of retro-themed promo prints. They’re limited to 200…
Despite Sony’s own admission that the God of War Collection remakes are just “ports”, that’s not to say both games will be identical to their PS2 forebears when they hit the PS3. That’s because, aside from the stuff we already knew – 720p, 60 frames-per-second, 2x anti-aliasing – the collection’s developers haven’t ruled out making…
There’s a new LocoRoco game due out later this year, and a new game means new gimmicks, in this case a fundamental change to the game’s simple control scheme, with the introduction of the "boing".
Time Donkey launched today. It’s from the guys behind Velociraptor Safari, Jetpack Brontosaurus and Minotaur China Shop. So, yes, you should know what you’re getting yourself into. The premise of Time Donkey is actually really neat: you’re a time-travelling donkey on a quest for tacos. To get those tacos, you have to respawn yourself, creating…
Pity those who only just got on top of Crysis’ recommended specs. Because if word on the street is to be believed, the next next generation of PC hardware is only a few months away. First off the starting blocks will be ATi’s Radeon HD 5800 series of cards (starting with the HD 5850 and…
One thing that always gets me about the PC sales charts is the number of times you see a game tagged “pre-sale”. It’s interesting, because it reveals a level of dedication in the PC market you don’t normally see from console gamers. When you think of a “pre-order” for a game at, say, GameStop, you…
Some “surprise” this turned out to be. While we’re sure MTV would have liked this to remain a secret until a little closer to the game’s September 9 release, word has already got around that the game’s final song is… SPOILERS “The End”. END SPOILERS. If this checks out (it’s unconfirmed for now, but seems…
According to data released by third-party warranty providers SquareTrade, since the mid-point of 2008 the Xbox 360‘s reliability has improved out of sight. Now, before we go any further, know this: we have our doubts when it comes to SquareTrade. A third-party warranty provider? Who nobody had ever heard of until they released some selective…
Yeah…so it turns out Guitar Hero 5’s ability to import songs from previous games isn’t as good a deal as we first thought. Turns out that, of World Tour’s 85 songs, only 35 can so far be copied over. That’s less than half. Funny that there’s some mysterious ailment afflicting songs sold on a retail…
PC platformer/puzzler Trine has long been coming for the PS3, but never actually arrived. What’s taking it so long? Like Lando, Lauri Hyvärinen, CEO of developers Fronzenbyte, has told GameSetWatch that it’s not his fault. It’s not his fault! It’s just something that happens when you leave a game with free-form physics in the hands…
Imulsion, the glowy resource at the heart of all things Gears of War, has been canned, laced with sugar and preservatives, and put on sale in the United States for $2.99 a pop. The drinks – of which, sadly, we have no nutritional information – are put out by Boston America, who are also the…
Galaga may be nearly two decades old, but its previous world record score could only last two years, with Andrew Laidlaw’s 2007 mark broken over the weekend by Phil Day. Day, from the small Australian town of Braidwood (not too far from my abode in Canberra), had been practising for six months on an original…
Ron Gilbert‘s latest game, Deathspank, isn’t new. We’ve know about it for ages. But all this info and screenshots, well, they’re very new. 1UP have a weeklong feature running on the game, which looks set to satisfy a gaping hole in the market by serving as a smart, funny parody on gaming genres and cliches.…
Like last generation’s dominant console, the PS2, the Wii has come in for a bit of criticism over the amount of shovelware available for the system. But are things really as bad as they seem? Research firm EEDAR have compared 2008’s review scores (for the first six months of the year) for all three consoles…
Marvelous’ Sakura Note is going about this the right way. It’s nice seeing a trailer that’s able to set a real tone through nothing but music, kids and some gameplay footage.
Blizzard can’t work on World of Warcraft forever. Eventually, they’ll release a new MMO. And when they do, apparently it’ll be “significantly different” to their current world-destroying cash machine. “I think the (new MMO) is going to be significantly differentiated enough [from WoW],” Blizzard’s COO Paul Sams told Wired. “Such that, you’re not going to…
Polyphony Digital boss Kazunori Yamauchi has revealed that, if the stars align and the moon is in the seventh house, Gran Turismo 5 will be given a simultaneous worldwide release. This would be a first for the series, whose last outing – GT5 Prologue – was released in the US four months after it was…
Those of you with children, younger siblings or a LEGO fetish may want to send Harmonix a fruit basket today, because it’s been revealed that anyone picking up LEGO Rock Band will be able to export its tracks. So if you own Rock Band, Rock Band 2 and LEGO Rock Band, you can put all…
My only main concern with SingStar: Queen was, well, the fact it just made me want to play the songs in Rock Band instead. Something I’ll soon be able to do! A “competitive analysis” chart obtained by Wired – drawn up to show how Harmonix’s Rock Band offerings compare to Guitar Hero’s – has revealed…
Speaking at the GameStop Manager’s Conference in Las Vegas tonight, Nintendo’s Reggie Fils-Aime has revealed the launch details and pricing for Wii Fit Plus. The bundle – which is the Wii Balance Board and a copy of Wii Fit Plus – will retail for $100. Those who already have the Balance Board can opt for…
