While we’ve heard that the silver DualShock 3 controllers will arrive in the US in June, it looks like the even-nicer white pads have already hit. Reader Henry says he just picked one up at his local Wal-Mart. You can see the pic right here. It’s a DualShock 3, it’s white, he bought it in…
You may be aware, from hanging around the internet, that Japan loves the Nintendo DS. But it takes a nice little mix of pictures and statistics to really ram the point home. This chart was released by Nintendo today, and shows the percentage of a market’s population that owns a DS. By extension, it also…
I loved Red Dead Revolver, but the game had its flaws. Also had its quirks. The game’s sequel, turns out, will be keeping the quirks, while trying to shoot the flaws in the face. Speaking with IGN, Rockstar’s Dan Houser has revealed that, unlike the first game, this title will have a lot more in…
Delphine’s classic platformer Flashback is now available on the iPhone! Seeing as it’s only one of best games ever made, this should be good news, but then, this is the iPhone we’re talking about. Which means expectations need to be tempered. Early reviews are complaining that the game has rubbish controls, and that it’s not…
Time for some fan art! Fan art featuring Momohime, star of the upcoming (and gorgeous) Wii exclusive Muramasa: The Demon Blade. Fan art featuring Momohime’s butt. Potentially crass, yes, but then it’s done in the same vibrant art style we’re expecting from the game, so in the end, it just comes off as a little…
In a follow-up to their fiscal reports, Capcom have released a table showing not only how many games they released last year, but how many they’ll release this year. And the numbers don’t add up! Look at those PS3 numbers. It’s projected that Capcom will release 13 games on the PS3 over the next 12…
Looks like Sony’s move away from physical media isn’t just being confined to the PSP, with Sony boss Sir Howard Stringer indicating that the PlayStation 3 is also moving towards online delivery. Of course, you can already buy games and other content online via the PlayStation Network – and have been able to do so…
Fresh from the weekend’s TV comes this first good look at the upcoming Prince of Persia movie in action. Whaddya think? Regardless of how great/terrible the movie ends up, it’s nice seeing somebody go to the trouble of building a ginormous, real set. Just a shame that kind of budgetary excess couldn’t extend to putting…
This clip is currently being hosted on the site of a now-former 3D Realms employee (though it can no longer be accessed publicly). It’s full of, supposedly, Duke Nukem Forever gameplay footage. You’ll see many of the same enemies from that concept art that surfaced the other day, so it certainly looks legit. It also…
The star of Brutal Legend, Eddie Riggs, looks a lot like his voice actor, Jack Black. But he didn’t always look like Jack Black. No, he once looked like someone better. This is a very early concept piece depicting Eddie Riggs, where the inspiration is clearly the overlord of rock, Ian “Lemmy” Kilmister. Only with…
Been a while since we had a good, new cricket title. That may hopefully change later this year when Codemasters releases Ashes Cricket 2009 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC and Wii. Beating EA’s Cricket 09 to the punch, and with new developers at the helm (Australia’s Transmission Games), the game is being released…
Wheelman (the game) was supposed to be based on Wheelman (the movie). Didn’t happen, so we only got the game. But now, for some reason, we’re actually going to get that movie. Variety reports that Paramount Pictures, fresh off the buzz surrounding Fast & Furious, “is accelerating its efforts” to get the movie made, with…
Despite constant claims that the gaming business is recession proof, it seems every day we wake up to learn more and more people have lost their jobs. But just how many have been lost? M2 analyst Wanda Meloni has tried to work out just that and, through through her studies, has found that an estimated…
Street Fighter IV is coming to the PC. PCs use a mouse and keyboard. For Street Fighter IV, that’s, uh, not exactly ideal. So smartly, Capcom will be releasing a control pad bundle. Of course, for those already planning on using their own controller (or who are happy using a keyboard), you can just pick…
From what we’ve seen of DJ Hero’s turntable – and, granted, it’s probably not all of it – it’s got three buttons and a turntable. But what about rival DJ game Scratch’s turntable? As you can see here, in a marketing shot from earlier in the year that we’ve managed to get hold of (so…
Have you heard? There’s a Swine Flu about. And it’s got people – including those at Capcom’s Japanese offices – thinking about killer viruses, and how best to protect against them. The company’s 2009 fiscal year report contains, amongst all the cash-counting and unit-shipping, a reassuring statement for investors, outlining that Capcom are completely and…
Not that there’s anything wrong with the upcoming Western release of the game. Just, we’re fans of classy box art, and few boxes are classier than SNK’s Japanese offerings. Example: here are the two Japanese covers for King of Fighters XII, which, like the Western editions, feature a different picture for each console. And hey,…
Yup. This again. As Sony’s phone partnership with Ericsson runs up record losses, SE boss Hideki Komiyama has again raised the prospect of a PlayStation Phone. Speaking with The Financial Times, Komiyama says that, as part of his recovery plan for Sony Ericsson (which is bleeding cash), a good idea would be to leverage Sony’s…
Sure, they may not match Nintendo’s big-sellers in terms of units shifted, but that doesn’t mean this list of Capcom’s biggest-selling games series of all time isn’t good reading. Updated with sales data from the 2009 fiscal year, the table combines the worldwide sales of all games in a series, then spits out a single…
You may have seen part of this art before, but according to developers GRIN, the piece you’ve seen is only half-finished! So they were kind enough to pass along the finished version. In which our hero is falling, head-first, into an explosion, while shooting a gun at something and being shot at by a flying…
