Games getting killed early in production, that happens all the time. Games getting cancelled in development, also, a thing that happens. I can’t remember the last time a game was cancelled after it was already out, and after people had paid money for it. Yet that’s exactly what’s happened with Ashes Cricket 2013, a game…
This new Nintendo Europe commercial starts out harmless enough. There are celebrities, there’s some Animal Crossing, there’s some 3DS. Then the crimes kick in. Hey, ladies, just because you’re rich and famous doesn’t mean you can go around stealing Animal Crossing cash crops off small kids.
Given the way both handhelds are able to interact, along with the fact their handheld hasn’t been selling that well, it was inevitable that Sony would eventually start selling the two devices together. Which they now are. Only it’s not that great a deal. Sony Europe have confirmed that a bundle including both the PS4…
About the only thing really wrong with the 3DS is that, unlike its predecessor, it’s region-locked. Though it appears not as region-locked as once thought. Nintendo 3DS Guide: Louvre has both a downloadable and a retail version, and Nintendo has confirmed with Kotaku that the Western edition of the game – available in North America,…
To those out looking for a bargain, Black Friday can seem like the best day of the year. Which it might be. If it wasn’t for all the fighting, and trampling, and tazing, and stabbings, and shootings. Come on, America. Is a cheap TV, $99 tablet or a free pair of socks with every purchase…
The PS4 just went on sale in Italy, and the launch event Sony put on in Rome – at the historic Castel Sant’Angelo – looked bananas. Using projectors, lasers and some…dubstep, they turned the old building into the centrepiece of a fantastic light show, at times making it appear as though it had been destroyed,…
Those in North America got to do this days ago, but for a lot of other people, the PS4 is something they haven’t been able to get their hands on. Until today. At time of posting it’s been on sale in Australia for just over nine hours (I bought mine at the most subdued midnight…
British TV writer and presenter (and former games journo) Charlie Brooker, being interviewed in the latest issue of Edge, nails boss fights. Just…nails them.
As an Australian, I have little to give thanks for this Thanksgiving. So I’ll skip the turkey and instead give thanks for people who blow stuff up on YouTube using military-grade hardware. In this video from RatedRR, an Xbox One is destroyed twice over, as a .50 cal sniper rifle and a line of det…
Yearned for, yes. But swoon? It takes a rare figure – and a rare subject matter – to do that. Something Enterbay’s Bruce Lee piece does with ease. Designed to commemorate what would have been his 73rd birthday, the figure comes with some clothes, spare hands and two super expressive faces. Oh, and the box…
The dude in the chair in this video is Nathan Claridge. He’s a regular, early 21st-century human being. At the end of a long session with make-up artist Patt Foad, though, he’s become killing machine and one-man judiciary system Judge Dredd. This goes a little above and beyond your standard cosplay. This is Hollywood-level stuff.…
Not all the time. Just occasionally. Like…when wandering swordsmen get robot arms and giant swords. Studio Hive is a Thailand-based studio who provide illustrations and concept work for video games, advertising, movies and TV. They’ve recently worked with clients like Square Enix and, like every other game artist on the planet, Applibot’s Legend of the…
What happens when a bunch of guys from a DJ company get together to make a wedding cake? Magic happens. The part where it splashes the old Genesis logo is just amazing. POSH Donkey Kong Projector Wedding Cake [YouTube]
Why. Why did nobody in the 1980s think to turn Paperboy into a Troma-style VHS horror movie? Why did this only happen in 2013? Why? Sadly, what you’ll see below is just a joke trailer and not a feature-length joke movie. But hey, cheer up, the adventure continues: you can download that badass soundtrack Paperboy…
Jaimie Alexander plays Lady Sif in the Thor movies. She recently visited the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, but instead of going as Jaimie Alexander, she went as Lady Sif. Sword, armour, the works. OK, so maybe it’s not quite as cool as having Thor himself turn up, but it’s still pretty damn cool. Especially since…
When the Xbox One launched, Microsoft tried to get clever and provide people with a pre-written sick note so they could take the day off. It wasn’t very funny, but it was harmless. Their next attempt at an Xbox One letter is a touch worse. Called “We got your back”, it’s aimed at prospective new…
Last month, we were toldthe World of WarCraft movie was coming out in 2015. Turns out that’s not the case. It’s now been delayedto 2016, presumably to stay as far away from Star Wars: Episode VII as possible.
I freakin’ lovedthe new Super Mario Bros. But I’m a human, with hands for loving video games. I’m not a cat, dressed up like Mario and forced to re-enact the moves of a video game for the enjoyment of humans on the internet. Mega64: SUPER MARIO 3D WORLD [Mega64, via Dtoid]
One Pixel Brush is a relatively new studio that specialises in concept art for all kinds of video game companies. Already they’ve worked on games like BioShock Infinite, Planetside 2 and Ryse, and are now helping shape stuff that we haven’t even seen or heard from yet. The studio was founded by art director Shaddy…
In this video, we see a dude playing Grand Theft Auto IV’s PC version using one hell of an elaborate virtual reality rig. The highlight is not the gameplay footage on the right. It’s the dude footage on the left. While the idea of being sucked into Liberty City may sound appealing on paper, when…
