Retailers across the US, Europe and Australia are informing customers today that the Batman: Arkham Knight Batmobile Edition has been cancelled. The game itself is due out next week, so this is pretty late notice! This collector’s edition was supposed to include a copy of the game, some skins, an artbook, a comic and a…
Earlier this month, Colossalcon was held in Sandusky, Ohio. And it was there that a team of five photographers, two videographers and a cosplayer decided to try something different. Normally, at a nerd con, you’ll see two types of cosplay photo emerge: ones taken quickly on the convention floor, and others taken at arranged photoshoots…
Welcome to the first actual day of E3 2015! Unlike the battlefield that was Day Zero, today was a little more chilled. Despite this, things still happened. Some of them were great. Some of them were not. Today’s events included press conferences from Nintendo and Square Enix, along with the first (and maybe last) dedicated…
Sick of all the trolls and griefing? Want to wander the apocalypse solo? DayZ is getting a singleplayer mode
Reader Christopherhad an idea earlier this year. He was going to draw all 721 Pokemon, and he was going to do it live on the internet. This month, he finished up, both the videos and the image. The end result is this amazing mural, which actually has over 800 Pokemon on it, since he also…
Phew. Let’s take a break from E3 for a minute and enjoy a pun about video games and trees. Lip Comarella is an artist at Salon Alpin, a a visual production studio that does everything from illustration to graphic design to animation to film. They’ve recently done some stuff with StarCraft 2 for the WCS,…
Miss the good old days of Theme Park and good Rollercoaster Tycoon games? Here’s Planet Coaster, just announced at E3 for the PC. It’s being developed by Frontier (Elite: Dangerous), and looks just wonderful.
Android users left out in the cold by the announcement(and release!) of Fallout Shelter, you haven’t been forgotten. You’ve just been reminded that for many developers, sadly, you are still second fiddle. While iOS users play and enjoy the game right now, anyone with a Samsung/LG/HTC/Sony/whatever is going to have to wait a few months.…
Just look at it. It’s almost perfect. This is Mario Maker’s packaging, and everything about it excels. The logo, the colours, the Bob The Builder x Mario mashup. But wait, there’s more! That’s just the outside! Inside the box is a small hardcover book that’s full of weird Mario level images, intended to inspire you…
Save your tissues for another game. Dogmeat, your trusty wasteland companion, was an emotional rollercoaster in Fallout 3. While he was a big help, not to mention a trusty companion, he could die! The pain! The anguish! Fallout 4’s pooch won’t have the same vulnerability. That’s not to say you get off scott free! He…
I shouldn’t care about this game. Disney Infinity was terrible, and 2.0 wasn’t much better. And yet, there is hope for 3.0. Mostly because of the involvement of Ninja Theory (Enslaved) and Sumo Digital (Outrun 2006). And just partially because of the sweet figures.
The PS4’s new Media Player should now be available for download. Which you should do: it finallytransforms the PS4 into a proper media centre, allowing for playback of movies and music over both wi-fi (DLNA) and USB. Here are the supported formats: Video MKV Visual: H.264/MPEG-4 AVC High Profile Level4.2 Audio: MP3, AAC LC, AC-3(Dolby…
It’s time. Time to look past the nuances of the video game industry, the malleability of the artform and the subjectiveness of fans. Time to pass imperious verdict on what sucked today and what didn’t suck. The term “Day Zero” is normally employed at E3 to describe the day when most of the big press…
You want Shenmue 3? You’ll get it. If you pay for it. This isn’t a spin-off. It’s a proper sequel. After all these years, all these rumours, it’s happening. So long as it hits its target, that is. You can pledge for the game here, Sega fans. Be warned: it’s looking for a cool $2…
We haven’t seen much of Firewatch, Campo Santo’s first-person adventure game. So new trailers are always welcome. (Note: this game is also coming for the PC)
Guerilla Games, long-time developers of Sony’s Killzone series, are trying something new. They just announced Horizon: Zero Dawn, a game about dinosaurs. And cavemen. And the apocalypse. It’s set in the distant future, where the end of human civilization (at least as it stands today) allows a damaged planet to rebuild, which means new plants…
Castle Crashers, one of the first great indie action games for consoles, is getting a remaster on the Xbox One. It’s due this Summer.
As part of an update due in the Fall, the Xbox One will be getting a new dashboard user interface. Looks nice! Microsoft is promising improvements to things like community interaction (via a new friends list system), but most important to users will be the pledge that this is going to be faster than the…
Trackmania Turbo, a game that was initially released on the Nintendo DS in 2011 (though which has now been “completely reworked”), is coming to modern consoles (and the PC). And, true to Trackmania style, it looks like a lot of fun. It’ll be out in November.
