Sony’s new PS3 motion controller – whatever it’s called and whatever it ends up looking like – won’t just be for new games. It might be for old games too! Sony Computer Entertainment America boss Jack Tretton has told CNBC “I think our [motion] controller can be used with every game that’s on the system…
While details on the next Legend of Zelda game are almost entirely non-existent, courtesy of Nintendo’s non-announcement during E3, that doesn’t mean we know nothing about the direction series creator Shigeru Miyamoto will be taking the series. We know one thing: that you might need to fork out an extra $20 for it. Speaking with…
Famitsu were right to sense more Tingle from Nintendo, because a teaser website for what must surely be a new game starring the company’s most…eccentric little man has gone live. There’s a brief cameo from Tingle, there’s a fortune teller surrounded by skulls, and there’s a section where you can write in and say what’s…
Sony’s E3 keynote was good, but not great. Why? Because the three biggest reveals – for a motion controller, a new PSP and a new Team Ico game – had all been leaked weeks earlier. I mean, imagine if we hadn’t known about The Last Guardian! Or hadn’t heard about the PSPgo weeks ago! Or…
Assassin’s Creed will be out in the US on November 17. But what about Europe? Well, it’ll be out in Europe on November 20.
With both a new Monkey Island and a remake of the original on the way, people once again have the classic series on the brain. What better time, then, to catch up on where it all started! Ron Gilbert, who wrote both the original Monkey Island and its sequel, has posted on his blog a…
Doom: Resurrection is perhaps the best-looking 3D game on the iPhone, and is a big step up from id’s last effort, a port of Wolfenstein. But those good looks come at a price. Much like Dead Space on the Wii, the unexpected graphical fidelity comes at the expense of movement, with Doom: Resurrection to be…
You play Dead Space? Then you’ll know Kendra and her whiny, whiny ways. Fortunately for Kendra, she was also a little easy on the eye. Ever wonder, then, how one of Maxim’s “Hottest Video Game Babes of 2008” came to be? Artist Joey Spiotto, who designed the character, has posted on his blog a run-down…
Japanese publisher Square Enix now owns Eidos. While both will continue to operate independently, and both develop and release games independently, there’s one project they’ll be working on together. Speaking with Gamasutra, Square boss Yoichi “Imperial Hot” Wada says the two firms “are going to be creating a new IP together”, which will be the…
EA’s long-running, big-selling racing franchise Need for Speed has fallen on hard times in recent years. Which seems to have the mega-publisher on the front foot when it comes to their competition in the genre. Speaking (well, hating) at E3 last week, EA Europe’s Patrick Soderlund had some rather unkind words for Need for Speed…
They were the least popular people at E3! Least, they were according to some round-up work done by Bitmob in the wake of their E3 keynote study. While tidying up the various highs and lows of gaming forum NeoGAF’s reaction to the three major E3 keynotes, Andrew Hiscock notes that when it comes to the…
Ever wonder why people will not shut up about iPhone gaming, even though the platform is yet to really hit its straps? This graph, showing the install base of the device compared to the install base of “real” gaming systems, explains it. Combining the iPhone and iPod Touch together, you can see that while the…
When the excellent “Meet The Spy” video was “leaked” a while ago, it didn’t take long to assume that, well, it hadn’t been leaked at all. Instead, it looked as though it had been released by Valve, and made to look like a leak. So why would the company go to such lengths to fake…
Looks like Bethesda will soon be bringing a lot more than just Fallout 3 to Steam, with users spotting some advertisements on the service advertising games like Oblivion and Morrowind. Reader Tom sends us the above image, and while I haven’t seen the same advertisement myself (nor can I see any mention of the games…
Mass Effect had a fairly memorable supporting cast! The fascist soldier lady, the angry turtle man, the slightly too-handsome junior officer. Hope you didn’t get too attached to them, however, as they won’t be returning to your party in the sequel. While some of them will feature in Mass Effect 2, none will be returning…
Digital delivery of games and gaming content is the inevitable future. But how prevalent is it in the present? The NPD Group estimate that, as it stands, digital downloads on a console are doing…OK. The retail tracking firm reckon that, of all Xbox Live “Gold” subscribers, 18% of them “regularly download from Xbox Live Arcade”.…
Homefront is being developed by the guys who did Frontline, and was written by the guy who wrote Red Dawn. So, yeah, it’s a war game, and a corny one at that. I mean, a United States under North Korean occupation? China, you can maybe swing China, but North Korea? Bit silly. Then again, being…
Ngmoco say they have no plans to start releasing iPhone 3GS exclusives. That’s great. But Ngmoco do not speak for every iPhone developer, and one day, there will be iPhone 3GS exclusives. Gizmodo do a good job breaking this down, looking at the iPhone’s new graphics chip – Samsung’s PowerVR SGX GPU core – as…
You can usually count on a PlayStation 3 to be a slick, dependable piece of hardware. PlayStation executives…less so. Some like to shoot their mouths off from time to time. But this quote from Kaz Hirai stopped me dead in my tracks. A console always needs a solid core of games that appeal to gamers…If…
Like any other high-profile (or even mid-profile) game these days, Assassin’s Creed 2 will be available in a collector’s edition. Let’s take a look at what’s inside. Called the “Black Edition”, the limited edition box set will ship in “black packaging”, and come with a “unique authentic holographic signature”. Whatever that means. Included will be…
