Sorry about that. Anyway. Yes, Aion is doing surprisingly well for itself, having not only moved enough pre-sales to top the Steam charts last week, but to make an appearance on the Direct2Drive ones as well. Games that aren’t called Aion that are also doing well include The Sims 3, which was #1 on Direct2Drive,…
It’s not that we don’t think Monkey Island: Special Edition looked bad. It looks great! But if it had looked as good as this fan mock-up, it would have looked greater. Some Germans have put together what they feel a Monkey Island 2: Special Edition should look like, complete with high-res backgrounds made from original…
Microsoft have never commented on a release date for Project Natal. Well, not without withdrawing it. But Brian Farrell, boss of publisher THQ, has no such qualms. Speaking during his company’s earnings get-together earlier today, Farrell – presumably speaking with some degree of knowledge on the subject, what with his company making games for the…
While Japan has a few different PS3 colours to choose from, Americans are stuck with…black. Oh, and a silver controller. But only until October, because in October, there’ll be two new controller shades to choose from. Those shades are “Deep Red” and “Metallic Blue”, both of which you’ve seen before as PSP colours. Sony’s red…
Not all Street Fighter IV modders are dirty pervs! Others are big fans of the 80’s, who just want to see what would happen if Hulk Hogan and Mr. T weren’t team-mates, but mortal enemies.
China has a problem. A problem with gangs. And as part of the government’s plan to tackle that problem, all websites offering online games glorifying organised crime have been banned. The Culture ministry says all games that “advocate obscenity, gambling, or violence,” and “undermine morality and Chinese traditional culture” will be outlawed, and any net…
There are a number of Forza 3 cars that are quite “exclusive”, in that they require you to either preorder the game, buy the Collector’s Edition or become a VIP member of the game’s community. These are those cars. If you sign up and become a VIP member of the Forza 3 community, you’ll get…
Sure, you could play games while in bed, but that’s so hard! You have to, like, sit your head up from the pillow! Ungh. Tiresome. Or you could do what Patti Deni did, and build your kid a ceiling TV. Enlisting the help of an AV installation company from Williamsville, NY, Patti cut a hole…
Capcom may have released a benchmark tool for their upcoming PC port of Resident Evil 5, but some people don’t like benchmark tools. They prefer raw specs. Specs like these! So without further ado, here are the system requirements (along with recommended specs) for the game. Note that we have our own benchmarks for the…
The Darkness was one of the unsung heroes of 2007, a perfectly capable shooter that was lost in the wake of biggershooters like BioShock, Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4. Let’s see if the sequel can do better. Although it was first strongly hinted at during last year’s Comic-Con, during this year’s festivities it…
That depends. If it’s a matter related to less-than-legal dealings, Mr. Bellic is going to call one of his Liberty City Associates. But if he ever runs into a minion of Gozer stepping on a church in his town… What the Hell: Grand Theft Auto 4 Called The Ghostbusters? [Bitmob]
Microsoft sent word today that Forza 3 will not be delayed into 2010. It’s sad we have to explicitly state that, but these days, you can never be too sure. Instead, the exact release date for the game in North America is October 27. No idea yet for Europe, but for Aussies and Kiwis, good…
The hard-working kids at Starmen got in touch to let us know that today – July 27, 2009 – is the 20th birthday of the MOTHER series, otherwise known in the West as Earthbound. Happy birthday! On this day in 1989, the first MOTHER game was released in Japan, for Nintendo’s Famicom (ie the NES).…
No, not LEGO Prince of Persia. Prince of Persia LEGO. There’s a difference! Because for the first time, instead of a game based on LEGO, we’ve got LEGO based on a game. Well, a movie based on a game. Close enough. The series – which we first told you about in February – will be…
Don’t you just love this kind of stuff? The dirty, sordid story of just where those shiny PS3 discs come from? We do. It’s a creation story, and a fascinating one at that. Sony recently opened a new Blu-Ray factory in Sydney, and threw open the doors for the media to come in and take…
The upcoming anime series, Halo: Legends, will be a little…different to what you normally expect from the franchise. That’s what happens when you get people from Japan to work on it. But are you prepared for just how different? These are some posters for the project from each of the studios working on it. Some…
To: Crecente From: Luke The first game of American Football I ever saw was the Redskins v Broncos Super Bowl in 1988. Being Australian, Doug Williams’ “I’m goin to Disneyworld!” line at the time made no sense to me. I thought he was actually speaking from the heart, and that his victory had somehow set…
Ghostbusters is out in Europe right now. Provided, that is, you want it on PS3 or PS2. If you want it on PC, 360, Wii or DS, though, it’s not out now. You’ll have to wait until October. Atari have today announced that the versions of the game not covered by their controversial partial-publishing deal…
It’s been a fun few weeks for publishers not called Nintendo in the UK. But now that Fight Night and Harry Potter have come and gone, it’s time for Wii games to return to their usual spot: atop the charts. Last week, Wii Sports Resort surprised absolutely nobody by finishing its first week on sale…
Like all music games, 4mm’s Rapstar will live and die on the strength of its tracklist. Convenient topic, that, since we’ve got hold of the names of seven of the game’s tracks. Before we go on, it’s important to note that this is only seven tracks. And all appear to be for the game’s contemporary…
