To: Crecente From: Luke Re: QuakeCon: It’s On So, the wedding draws near. Exciting. But the lady friend is on the exercise regime from hell, and guess who’s being dragged along for the ride? Yesterday, it was up early so we could walk up a mountain. Fortunately, it’s literally right behind my house. Unfortunately, it…
America, your long wait for a white DSi may soon be over. Along with your equally long, perhaps slightly less agonising wait for a pink DSi. According to this Toys ‘R’ Us database listing, both colour schemes – which are already available in Japan – will be out…well, who knows, since there’s no date on…
With the PSPgo championing itself as a digital download-only device, it’s going to run into stiff competition from Apple’s cheap-as-chips App Store. Or, it will if its games aren’t priced to compete with those $0.99 iPhone apps. So it’d be a smart move by Sony to price many games at, well, a similar point. Which…
The sad, slow decline of gaming print media continues, with the announcement overnight that Future Publishing’s PSW (PlayStation World Magazine) is no more. One of Future’s three PlayStation-focused publications (along with the Official PlayStation Magazine and PSM3), PSW’s first issue went on sale in the UK all the way back in 2000, and with the…
The Wii has thus far been a haven for developers with last-gen experience lacking the money to make the jump to 360 or PS3. Today’s announcement of Rugby League 3 for the platform is no different. This will be the third game in the “Rugby League” series, which have all been developed by New Zealand…
Next Wednesday, Capcom will be giving Xbox 360 owners a taste of Lost Planet 2’s fist-bumping, bug-hunting co-operative mode by releasing a demo. The co-op demo will let you take on the “salamander” boss, give you access to a variety of weapons and suits, then let you climb inside the thing’s guts and blow it…
As seen on Siliconera.
Valve, Valve’s boss Gabe Newell and the PlayStation 3 have a history. A history of not getting along. And it doesn’t look like that’s about to change any time soon. Here’s a little chit-chat the Valve head had with host Geoff Keighley on tonight’s episode of GTTV: Keighley: Are you guys working on PlayStation 3…
1UP have been running a big Uncharted 2 special all week long, and as part of that have just uploaded this all-gameplay clip showing Nathan engaging in a spot of singleplayer gunplay. Oh, and Elena’s in it, too, if that helps. Exclusive Uncharted 2 Single-Player Gameplay Footage Now Live [1UP]
During tonight’s episode of GameTrailers TV, Valve have shown for the first time footage of one of Left 4 Dead 2’s hitherto unseen campaigns: The Fairgrounds. Bright lights, screaming, rides…it’s everything you expect from zombie killing at an amusement park. Hopefully there’s some dodgem cars and a ball pit in there somewhere as well. To…
Yoko Ono. Were Ron Burgundy to translate the name, he would say it meant “destroyer of worlds.” So it was to be expected that the wife of John Lennon would give the team at Harmonix a hard time. An interview with some of the developers working on The Beatles: Rock Band over at Wired reveals…
In the turn-based strategy genre, two series (for me, anyways) reign supreme: Advance Wars, and Panzer General. So it’s with great delight that I see today that Ubisoft will be bringing the latter back, this time on Xbox Live Arcade. Delight quickly turns to concern, however, when you see what they’re doing with it. See,…
ARMA II only just came out! And as you’d expect from such an ambitious game, is still pretty broken! Neither of which seems to matter, since an expansion for the game has already been announced. Called Operation Arrowhead, it’s set three years after the events depicted in ARMA II and takes place in an all-new…
It’s a common complaint: there are too many damn games set in the Second World War. But did you know just how many? This “casual census” performed by 1UP has the depressing results. This graph here tallies the number of games released since 1980 set during six of the biggest conflicts (at least for Westerners)…
To close out a week of update announcements (and updates!), Valve had one final surprise in store for Team Fortress 2 players tonight, offering the first 11,111 players to reach this hidden site a shiny new medal. Being limited, the offer is of course already done for, all 11,111 medals claimed within a matter of…
It’s “Meet Thane” day over at the official Mass Effect 2 website tonight, as BioWare release some screenshots and wallpaper featuring the green-skinned alien guy we first met back in the E3 trailer for the game.
We’ve noticed. Many of you are sick to death of Halo. To a certain extent that’s understandable, but then, sometimes you have to applaud the efforts of a game that, two years on from release, is still so damn popular. How popular? According to Bungie, on average, every single day, there are over 1,000,000 unique…
Big, big update for the PAL PlayStation store this week, with a host of quality PS3 games, demos and even a couple of downloadable PSP games you might be interested in. Headlining the week’s update is of course Marvel vs Capcom 2, arriving in a far more timely fashion than it’s HD predecessor, SSFIIHD. Those…
Retail tracking company Chart-Track have released an updated set of figures for the British market, revealing how many units of the Nintendo Wii and DS (all versions) have been sold since launch. The figures show that while the Wii has a pretty sizeable install base for a country of 60 million people, it’s got nothing…
Don’t look now, but Rockstar’s borderline mythical music title Beaterator is coming, it’s coming this year, and it’s coming to the PlayStation Portable. Rockstar sent the word out this morning that the music creator, which has long been kept under wraps since first debuting as an online time-waster, will be out on September 29 in…
