A little over two months on from the game’s release, Killzone 2 has just passed the one million mark on the game’s multiplayer leaderboard. Like other Sony online stats – which record individual accounts rather than unique users – this doesn’t mean that there have been one million individual players (it’s not like every single…
Bioware have released some more concept artwork for their upcoming sci-fi RPG Mass Effect 2, detailing what should be a few of the game’s locations. There have actucally been a few releases over the past couple of weeks, but we figured we’d save them all for one update instead of stringing you out, so…enjoy!
As of 00:01 GMT this Friday, Valve’s spectacularly-popular zombie shooter Left 4 Dead will be made free to download over the company’s Steam digital delivery service. Yes, instead of spending $40 on the game, you can spend $0. The catch? The offer’s only good for a 24-hour period, and once that 24 hours is up,…
Indie platformers, we’ve seen. Indie adventure games too. But indie first-person shooters that moonlight as first-person brawlers? That’s fresh. That’s Zeno Clash. You couldn’t login to Steam or go near a PC forum over the past month or so without running into talk about Zeno Clash, a game from tiny Chilean studio ACE Team that’s…
To: Crecente From: Luke Re: Achievement Still Locked We have biscuits called “Monte Carlos”. And yes, I’ve eaten a Monte Carlo in Monte Carlo. So the world is gripped with swine flu fever. People have died, people are sick, people are scared. You know what? Between you and me, there’s never been a better time…
The writing is on the wall for the poor old UMD. First Patapon 2 goes download-only, then Fate/Unlimited Codes, then we hear another rumour of a UMD-less PlayStation Portable. But it’s not dead yet! No, Capcom will be sticking by Sony’s beleaguered proprietary format, telling British trade site MCV: We certainly do not intend to…
Like every other big-name multiplatform game these days, Batman: Arkham Asylum will be appearing not only on console, but on PC as well. Here’s what you’ll need to run it. Posting on the game’s official boards, an Eidos rep/mod has revealed both the game’s minimum and recommended specs to be: Minimum o CPU: Intel single…
They really should. Hula hoops are boring. And Mega Man isn’t boring. He’s awesome. Awesome enough to get me throwing on the lycra and stretch, 1, 2, 3, stretching like my life depended on it. [via Go Nintendo]

People like us talk a lot about video games. We read the news, scour forums, watch trailers, download screenshots. But a piece on Gamasutra reminds us how small a part of the market “we” are. Using the recent release of Madworld as an example, research firm GamePlan Insights reveals that, despite IGN naming it “as…
This is iBuypower’s LAN Warrior. It’s designed as the ultimate LAN party PC, with gaming-heavy specs, a rugged carry-strap and a durable exterior casing…wait, are people gaming in war zones now? At a real LAN party, worst-case scenario, your PC might get its paint scratched. Or get some Cheeto dust on it. But, just in…
Free of cutscenes, title screens and marketing fluff, here’s 90 seconds of gameplay footage from Sega’s upcoming HD re-release of Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram for the Xbox 360. Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram ‘Neutral Zone Battle’ gameplay HD
While both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 will be seeing a re-release of Capcom’s classic 2D fighter Marvel vs Capcom 2, Wii owners won’t be seeing anything of the sort. While this may have been obvious from the fact the game’s release announcement failed to mention Nintendo’s console, for anyone who hadn’t quite caught…
Faith Fighter was great, but some people complained, and now, it is gone. But that’s OK. Because no sooner is Faith Fighter gone than a sequel arrives! In a response to the “manufactured controversy” that surrounded the year-old game earlier this week, a new, improved version of Faith Fighter has been made available on Molleindustria’s…
You probably already know that. But recent sales data collated by Gamasutra shows just how badly the company needs your used games, with preowned sales accounting for a ton of the company’s gross profit margin. See for yourself in the graph above, which shows that used product sales – which combines the sale of preowned…
Call of Duty 4 has had its fair share of cheaters over the past 18 months, but if Infinity Ward’s claims are to be believed, then their “days are numbered”. This silver bullet will apparently come in the form of a patch for the Xbox 360 version of the game, which is “going through certification…
Capcom have announced that a multiplayer demo for upcoming swingy-shooter Bionic Commando will be out on April 29. Which is tomorrow! The demo will be out only on the 360 (at least at this stage), and will allow access to “Vertigo”, one of the game’s multiplayer maps (of which there are 16 in total). It’ll…
You should be keeping tabs on The Sims 3, if only because it’ll be cluttering up the PC sales charts for the next five years once it’s released this June. These new screens are meant to showcase a couple of things. One, that if you leave them alone, the Sims will still head out and…
To: Crecente From: Luke Re: Nice! So, to try and stem the worst of the bleeding from this “economic crisis”, the Australian government gave everybody in the country who paid tax last year AUD$900 (USD$630). The thinking being, if everybody goes out and spends $900 on stuff, then it’ll help prop up the economy. What’d…
You seem to have enjoyed the first episode of the Valkyria Chronicles anime as much as we did. So for those living outside Japan, here’s episode 2. Something I didn’t notice in the first episode: if you look real close, you can see that, in some places, the game’s trademark “coloured pencil” look is still…
