Asian markets have had them forever, Americans have had them for a while, and hey, even Canadians can now purchase PlayStation Network pre-paid cards. But what about Europe? Looks like European markets may finally be getting them as well. A report on PS3-Sense points out a retailer listing for a European PSN card, complete with…
Pretty sure that regardless of where you are on this rotating ball of dirt, as you’re reading this, it’s Monday, July 27. And that means the new Monkey Island will be out on Wii today. And by “new” we don’t mean the new version of the old game, we mean the proper new one. Telltale’s…
We’ve seen video game publishers sponsor a football team before. Sega & Nintendo have been doing it in Europe for years, and even the Xbox 360 is in on the act. But I can’t remember ever seeing a game sponsor a team. Yes, Pro Evo sponsored Lazio for a game last year, but that was…
The Variety report from earlier today that said there’s a live-action Dead Space movie in the works also has some video game news. Namely, that EA are working on two more Dead Space games. The report states “EA launched [Dead Space] in 2008 and is working on the second and third installments”. Sounds clear-cut, but…
Kinda strange development taking place over in New Zealand, with Microsoft taking the rather drastic step of blocking every single under-18 user in the country from downloading paid content on their 360’s. Even kid-friendly stuff. Kotaku AU first noticed the move last week, and when we contacted Microsoft for comment, were handed this rather vague…
Forget that Dead Space animated film. Please. Instead, let’s all try and be optimistic about a Dead Space live action film, which EA are about to auction off to movie studios. Dead Space: The Real Movie (our name, not theirs) is set to be a joint production between EA and Temple Hill producers Marty Bowen…
World of Warcraft isn’t just a video game. It’s a trading card game as well, and being a trading card game, it can slip a few things under the legal radar its digital cousin may not be able to manage. Like these cards, which skate so close to the thin ice covering Lake Copyright Infringement…
As you know, Microsoft will soon be opening chain of fancy big retail stores across the US, in which 360 hardware and software will play a prominent role. Wanna see what they look like? Gizmodo have got their hands on a Powerpoint slide outlining the design and features of the stores, which include things like…
Gotta love this Monkey Island renaissance. Not only does it get us new Monkey Island games, it gets us new Monkey Island merch. And nice merch to boot! This $90 statue will be available from Lucas’ own StarWarsShop come September, and stands 10″ tall. Depicting a very human LeChuck against a very weedy Guybrush Threepwood…
Following on from last week’s pitiful update – and subsequent apology from Sony Europe – this week, things look a littlebetter for PAL PS3 owners, with a number of games and demos available just in time for the weekend. They come in the form of Crystal Defenders and Shatter, while on the DLC side of…
Bungie’s Halo: ODST is playable on the showroom floor of Comic-Con, and these two guys, they’re playing it. The least you can do is watch.
Since the company came together in 1991, Bungie have worked on five Halo games: Halo 1, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST and Halo: Reach. Will they ever do a sixth? Probably not. In an interview with CVG, Bungie senior designer Lars Bakken has said in response to the “this the last Bungie Halo?”…
There are people who do video game t-shirts the right way. People like Meat Bun, and King of Games. Then there are people who do video game shirts the wrong way. Like Hot Topic, and Mark Ecko. Just take a look at Ecko’s new range of Halo shirts, featuring six designs that you would expect…
Hey, basketball fans. Here’s the first trailer for EA’s NBA Live 10. As someone who last played an NBA Live game in 95, the series sure has come a long way.
Xbox Live‘s Community Games venture has just been re-branded as “Xbox Live Indie Games“, and along with the new name comes a new pricing structure, which will see some titles sold for as little as $1. Ever since Community Games launched, there have been complaints that the minimum asking price of some titles was too…
To go with the first details on the three Assassin’s Creed short films due later this year, Ubisoft sent over some additional shots of the production. Poor Ezio, he’s never going to blend in with all that bright green!
Here’s our first look at EA’s upcoming Command & Conquer 4. Before any of you ask “oh, where is he, where is he??”, just watch the clip, OK?
Guess Popcap didn’t need that long sorting out “the exact order in which [Plants vs Zombies] will make its way onto other platforms”, because the game’s just been announced for Xbox Live Arcade. PopCap’s Garth Chouteau has confirmed with WorthPlaying that the game is coming to Microsoft’s online platform, but couldn’t provide any further details…
Adding Lucasarts adventure games to Steam was a great idea, but adding classic Sierra adventure games to Steam? That’s an awesome idea. As of right now, you can buy the King’s Quest Collection (which includes King’s Quest I-V) and the Space Quest Collection (which includes Space Quest I-VI), both of them optimised to run on…
OK, the trailer itself isn’t Ornery. It’s fine. We’re just excited that a video game trailer used the word. It’s a great word.
