Don’t work under the assumption that, because they were announced in early 2009, Capcom’s latest tentpole sequels – Lost Planet 2 and Dead Rising 2 – will actually be released in 2009. Speaking with Microsoft’s Larry Hryb on his weekly radio show, Capcom PR man Chris Kramer said that both titles were big, but also…
Valve have today announced that Steam – which already takes care of most other in-game needs for the PC market – will now be offering in-game downloadable content procurement as well. What does this mean? You’ll be able to get the DLC from the same program you’re launching and managing the main game from, instead…
Mystery publisher Gazillion Entertainment have signed a deal with Marvel to produce several massively-multiplayer online titles for the comics powerhouse. Having tried once – and failed – to get an MMO based on their characters off the ground, Marvel have now turned to Gazillion to develop a number of MMOs over a ten year period,…
Like a zombie you can’t quite get in the head, rumours of a Wii Remote-type device for the PS2 just won’t die off. Today, for example, we’ve got another one. A Sony patent application has surfaced that details a variety of wireless input devices for controlling a PlayStation console, from a remote/wand device that slightly…
You may have heard, the PlayStation 3 is expensive. Not “private jet” expensive, sure, but compared to the Wii and 360, it’s expensive. So people want it cheaper. Sony, however, are having none of it. Despite publishers, analysts and consumers calling repeatedly for a price cut on the machine, SCE America’s senior vice president of…
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars on DS has a theme song, and this is it. You may have heard it being ruined late last week by DJ Premier, but this is the proper version. Yes, that’s Ghostface, and yes, that’s Doom. Rockstar know what they’re doing when it comes to this kind of thing. GHOSTFACE…
Then you probably watch a lot of TV shows. This guide over at Lifehacker will show you how to get it done.
Little while back, World of Warcraft developers Blizzard moved into new offices. As part of the move, employees were given little statues. The building itself, however, got a big statue. Because they are Blizzard, WETA – the special effects team behind Lord of the Rings – were commissioned to build a 12-foot-tall statue of an…
Defying all odds (and expectations), Sega are answering our prayers and bringing Virtual On to the 360, in the form of Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram. Know what that means? It means accompanying merchandise. Virtual On fans will no doubt be used to the steady stream of figures and models associated with the series, but these…
Demos are advertising. Interactive, sometimes enjoyable advertising, true, but advertising nonetheless. Maybe not a great idea, then, when Sony restricted access to the Killzone 2 demo. Restricting access for a Patapon 2 demo is even worse. But that’s exactly what’s happening! Sony Computer Entertainment America are releasing a demo for the game “exclusively” to those…
99% of games on the market today have multiplayer. Bioshock, however, did not. It was geared towards a singleplayer experience. But the sequel? It’ll have multiplayer. At least, it will according to the latest issue of Game Informer. Problem is, the mag’s big story on the BioShock sequel only says it will feature multiplayer. It…
Capcom have today announced that Resident Evil 5, the latest in the company’s long, long line of zombie-killer titles, has so far shipped over four million copies. Take note that means shipped from Capcom to retailers, not sold through to customers. But with the game picking up solid review scores and being, well, a Resident…
From the same people that brought you the history of gaming (in Sauerkraut) comes this: a game of asteroids. Played with tomatoes. Don’t ask why. Just ask "Zaxxon with celery next, please". [via GameSniped]
These days, strategy guides are big business, but it hasn’t always been this way. In the early 90s, for example, magazines and cheat lines ruled, leaving strategy guides to, well. Do their own thing. Not that this was a bad thing. Indeed, in this case, it’s an awesome thing, because we’re talking about the 1993…
Or the Transporter of Wii accessories. Depending on your standards. Our standards, well, we don’t much care for the gun. We do care for the fact it’s a Wii accessory that’s putting some effort in. Take the shape of Cobalt Flux’s “Dark Ops Wii Light Gun”, for example. It’s different. Like, it’s not a shark.…
Most of you reading this are not DJs. Those who are, this is for you, because Capcom have just released the The Street Fighter II Turbo Battle Vinyl. What it isn’t: a spoken-word version of the Raul Julia/Kylie Minogue movie. What it is: a record that, on side A, has a ton of Street Fighter…
Assassin’s Creed 2 may be well underway, but it’s not the only AC game on the horizon, as it’s been announced today that mobile port specialists Gameloft will be bringing the series to the iPhone. Apparently the gameplay will still feature free-running over city rooftops and across multiple cities, though we’d think these would be…
Epic Games have announced two big changes on the way for Gears of War 2. One is a title update aimed at addressing complaints users have had about experience.The other? Four new multiplayer maps.

Whoops! According to the curriculum vitae of an animator currently employed at LEGO developers Traveller’s Tales, the team is currently working on two games. One a Harry Potter title, the other a second Indiana Jones. LEGO Harry Potter, eh? Pardon us if we’re less than surprised. Still, surprise isn’t the point. The point is, it’s…
…these ones. Least, these were the top 20 games as recorded by the NPD Group. Which explains why you may see some familiar faces alongside the likes of Dawn of War II. See, Dawn of War II came out towards the end of the month. Which is why it could only place third on the…
