We left you on a bit of a cliffhanger earlier. Gave you lifetime DS sales, but held out on Wii and DSi lifetime sales. It’s only fair we complete the lineup. The lifetime, worldwide sales for both consoles were disclosed as part of Nintendo’s financial results for the past quarter (April-June). And they are as…
Popular social media services Facebook and Twitter are coming to the Xbox 360. But don’t expect them to come as part of the next dashboard update. Instead, they’ll launch as separate applications. Speaking with Eurogamer, Microsoft’s James Halton revealed that both services are due sometime in the Fall. That’s as precise as he was willing…
My. What a pleasant surprise. Dave Gibbons, the artist responsible for Watchmen (the graphic novel, not the movie), is working with Revolution Software on Beneath A Steel Sky: Remastered. Yeah. You read that right. Somebody is remaking the original Beneath a Steel Sky – one of the greatest adventure games of all time – and…
It’s been a long, drawn-out affair, but Activision have finally gotten around to releasing the full tracklist for the upcoming Guitar Hero 5. All 85 songs of it. If you can’t find something in here that you like, well…you should probably be looking at another kind of game to be spending your cash on. ·…
Aidra and Ernest loved each other very, very much. So much that they got married. But it wasn’t just any old wedding! It was one the King of the Cosmos would see fit to berate from on high. As you can see below, the Katamari theme extended beyond just the bride and groom. The entire…
Sony Computer Entertainment are trying something new this week, announcing the latest PlayStation Store update a day before it’s out. Risky business! Let’s check back on Saturday, see how they went. Taking pride of place is Fat Princess, which mercifully arrives in PAL territories the same time it does in the US. Don’t think I…
You know it, we know it: times are tough. And Sony, Sony definitely know it, with the company’s freshly-released quarterly report highlighting declining sales for both the PS3 and PSP. But good news first! In the first quarter of the 2008 fiscal year, Sony sold 1.5 million PlayStation 2 consoles worldwide. In Q1 2009? That…
More reasons for THQ to count their cash and keep on smiling: open-world hammer sim Red Faction Guerrilla has sold over a million copies since it launched early last month. And good for it! While the game has its problems with AI and endless spawning, the physics engine and emphasis on demolitions have made it…
It had to happen. Somebody – in this case Ben Borthwick – has recreated Left 4 Dead in The Sims 3. Complete with a household narrative. I’ll spare you the story (you can read up on that yourself if you’re interested), and instead just focus on what he’s done to the characters. Well, what The…
Once was a time Sonic games were just as good as Mario games. Some may even say better. That time, however, was back in the 1990’s. And it’s been a while since the 1990’s. Yet the blue hedgehog is still Sega’s most prominent mascot, and Sega keep on churning out Sonic games, even though they…
The tables, they have been turned. Rather than having other characters appear in his game, Sackboy is making the leap into somebody else’s. The game in question is Rag Doll Kung-Fu, and he’ll be made available as a playable character as part of tomorrow’s PlayStation Store update, where he’ll join the game’s unlockable characters in…
I’ve played the demo for Yakuza 3. It’s pretty good! I loved the way it revels in the minutiae of Japanese culture, right down to the fully-stocked convenience stores. Sadly, the demo is as close as I’m going to get. Sega America’s Ray Almeda has told The Examiner that the game won’t be released in…
So it looks like Warren Spector’s Junction Point Studios are working on a Disney game code-named “Epic Mickey”. The concept art looks amazing, but we still have questions. Like what platform is it for? Headline kind of gives it away. The resume of another guy who’s working on the game, Tony Pulham, says it’s for…
Getting hard sales numbers for services like Xbox Live Arcade, Steam and Direct2Drive is like getting blood from a stone. Not. Gonna. Happen. So today, we’ll console ourselves with some overall sales trends released by the three service’s parent companies. Valve, who run Steam, have revealed that over the past 12 months sales have increased…
Say you like Fallout 3. You like it so much that you want to transform your room/house into something you might see in the game. Since burning the roof off is unsafe, here’s something a little more landlord-friendly. By following Chris Furniss’s simple instructions, you can whip up a ton of hand-made Nuka Cola caps,…
One good thing about many games built on Valve’s Source engine is that developers often release the SDK (software development kit) for them. And so it is with Zeno Clash. Developers ACE Team have released the tools – which will allow users to mess around with items, characters and environments within the game – along…
EA have quietly, perhaps even accidentally, revealed that their two biggest sporting franchises – Madden and FIFA – will be coming to the iPhone “soon.” Buried at the foot of a press release for the iPhone’s “Spore Origins” is mention that both FIFA 10 and Madden 10 are “coming soon” to Apple handheld. Wonder how…
Going a little overboard with the Forza 3 screens aren’t you, Microsoft? We need a break. Just this once, we’ll go back-to-back, but only because they look so damn pretty. While we’ve got you, if you’re in Europe, you’re in luck, as Microsoft today announced the game will be out on October 23, which is…
Word’s starting to spread that there is a Twilight game currently in development. But is it what you think it is? A report surfaced on Massively earlier today, pointing us to the site of a game proclaiming to be a Twilight MMO. There were no details provided other than the fact it was an MMO…
Late last year, Gamasutra said they’d heard of a game Warren Spector (Deus Ex) was working on with Disney. Said it was a “steampunk” title. Looks like they were right on the money. The website of concept artist Fred Gambino (via Superannuation) has some pieces for a project called “Epic Mickey”, described as an “interactive…
