Paul Robertson can do no wrong. As evidenced by his latest work, this commercial for Syke, an energy drink that may or may not be real. Way marketing is these days, its hard to tell. [via Offworld]
Perhaps the most promising thing about Guitar Hero Metallica isn’t Metallica themselves, but the slew of accompanying artists that are also appearing in the game. One of those is Slayer. And getting Slayer was tough. Despite “Raining Blood” already making an appearance in the series, courtesy of Guitar Hero III, Metallica drummer/public spokeshole Lars Ulrich…
Feeling left out by Nintendo’s mad dash for cash, but can’t quite work out why? How about this: 2008 will be the first year in a decade that a new Zelda game wasn’t released. Amazing, no? Yet it’s true, as evidenced by this handy chart thrown together by the team at TGR: 1998 – Legend…
According to some upset posters over on the official LittleBigPlanet forums, the Metal Gear Solid DLC released for the game last week didn’t just bring good times. It brought bad, content-erasing times as well. Some users are complaining that, after purchasing the Metal Gear content, their singleplayer progress through the pack was erased. Sucky, but…
Guitar Hero Tour has, this week, gotten a little more exotic. On offer today are three tracks from bands that aren’t American, aren’t British, aren’t Canadian, aren’t even Australian. Instead, they’re three tracks from three bands from continental Europe. Spain’s Fito & Fitipaldis bring us “Por la boca vive el pez”, Holland’s Di-rect bring us…
These British sales charts are for the week ending December 27. Or, as it’s more commonly known, the “oh my Lord I’ve got last-minute Christmas shopping to do” week. Which explains why Mario Kart Wii sits atop the charts. And why Wii Play is right behind it. And why, when we thought it had breathed…
Straight from the TV show of the same name, this intervention is from an episode earlier this year February 2005. And is sad, sad viewing. Oh, except for the Shinobi part. That part, totally understandable. [via NeoGAF]
I’ve been a little down on King of Games lately. Not enough new shirts, not enough good shirts. But this Punch-Out hoodie may well be a return to form for the team. Not necessarily for the print itself, but because it captures the spirit of the game. You get a cityscape, boxing gloves and game…
Once was a day that if you were in the movies, games were something to be shunned, not sought out. And hey, for many actors, that’s still the case. But for composers, no. The Seattle Times have a great piece up on how many Hollywood and TV composers are now flexing their creative muscles in…
Wondering how physics puzzler Crayon Physics was going to fare once it made the jump to the iPhone? Please. Don’t wonder. Look.
Street Fighter IV’s able to whip up an internet shitstorm every time it announces one character. King of Fighters XII, meanwhile, likes to be a little more subtle, announcing its full, seemingly final roster quietly. Those residing on the pointiest end of the KoF fanbase may already have pieced together most of this from trailers…
Gaming on a laptop? It’s hardly ideal. But that’s going off the hardware limitations of 2008! By the distant future, who knows what gaming on a laptop will be like. Might even be like this. Kyle Cherry is the man behind this gaming laptop concept, and we like it because it just does not fuck…
Boy, World of Warcraft can get pricey. You pay for the game, you pay a monthly stipend, you pay for expansion packs. So it’s nice to hear of a charity that’s giving away a lifetime subscription. If you donate $25 or more to the Leukaemia and Lymphoma Society, you’ll be in the running to score…
While THQ’s budget sadly doesn’t extend to having Gary Busey endorse Saints Row 2’s PC requirements, we can make believe. Just imagine crazy eyes, some enormous teeth and two thumbs up. Posted on the game’s official boards, here are both the minimum requirements and the recommended requirements: Minimum Requirements: – Windows XP / Vista –…
Looks like LittleBigPlanet fansite LittleBigPlanetoid got a copy of Photoshop for Christmas, because they’ve been busy dreaming up, then drawing up, a wish list for celebrity gaming sackboys for the new year. Some appear feasible (Dante), some appear possible (Vader), some appear impossible (Master Chief). All, however, are adorable. Oh, and before you start bitching…
Ever stop and wonder just why it is Activision have two development teams working on Call of Duty? It’s not for the hell of it. Or even, mm mmm mmmm, for the smell of it. It’s because people can’t seem to stop buying the various iterations of the franchise. An innocent little Reuters story from…
Sure, video game ads are (generally) a classy, expensive affair these days, but in previous days, things weren’t so high-brow. They were dorky, they were cheap, they were low-brow. Doesn’t mean they’re not worth celebrating, though! Which brings us to the fourth instalment of 1UP’s “The Best Worst Videogame Ads”, which this time around feature…
You may have heard whispers a few months back about LittleBigPlanet and the first-person perspective. Well, whispers be damned. Media Molecule already have the game running in first-person. Speaking with IGN, Media Molecule’s Alex Evans has – in response to questions about a first-person LBP – shown the site how the game’s levels can be…
North America, Western Europe, Japan. Those are the three major gaming regions in the world. Fallout 3 being released there, no big deal. But Fallout 3 in the Balkans and Middle East? It’s a little more unique, especially when you consider many of the countries I’m about to name don’t often get dedicated “official” releases.…
From emerging game figure POWERHOUSE NECA come these Resident Evil 5 figures. The first line will feature three characters, each of them 7″ tall, and should be out early next year. The three are stars Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar, along with that fat bloke with the GIANT axe/hammer that’s starred in most of the…
