Looking mildly like Zynga’s first foray into religious Facebook scamming, Journey of Jesus is Lightside Games’ attempt to get us all putting down our other social games and start playing one where we can learn about Jesus instead. As a game, it’s horrific. It turns an educational yarn about the Bible into a grinding Facebook…
May is International Iron Man Cosplay Appreciation Month. Which means we get to see suits that actually light up and move, sure, but also things of a slightly quainter nature. Like this suit. Made by Englishman Mark Pearson, it looks like it fell straight out of a movie, but is actually made of cardboard Pearson…
To celebrate the release of what will probably be the biggest PC game of the year (sorry Crusader Kings II, I still love you), here’s a big collection of concept and promotional art from Diablo III You’ll find character art, environment art, images that appeared on things like magazine covers, and even some amazing class…
This new Japanese promo spot for the upcoming Pokémon Black & White 2 doesn’t show a single second of gameplay. What it does show is over five minutes of impressive Pokémon animation, as trainers and pocket monsters beat the snot out of each other in the name of children’s entertainment. While there’s no English subtitles,…
While there were whispers of this earlier in the month, Sony’s Hong Kong website has now officially lifted the lid on a new piece of Mass Effect 3 DLC. Sadly, it’s not the singleplayer “extended ending” DLC most players are hanging out for. Instead, it’s a new multiplayer pack called “Rebellion”. The Rebellion Multiplayer Expansion…
This old Diablo II commercial, from around the time of the game’s launch in June 2000, is notable for two things. The first is that it’s a rare example of official live-action Diablo The second is the use of the word Macintosh in the closing splash. For all the credit companies like Valve get these…
Diablo is one of Blizzard’s tentpole franchises, part of a Holy Trinity of PC gaming that includes the universes of StarCraft and Warcraft. It’s reverence is well-deserved, as Blizzard has done a fantastic job with all three games. Old-time fans of the series may remember, though, that in 1997 a Diablo product was released that…
Activision is facing another big lawsuit over its tentpole Call of Duty series, only this one has nothing to do with people who used to work on the series. It’s to do with a rival developer who owns the right to a name that Call of Duty uses a lot Fans older PC shooters may…
The lawyer in Activision’s case against Call of Duty’s creators, Beth Wilkinson, who was only hired last week as a replacement, has asked for the trial’s commencement date to be pushed back by 30 days so she can “get up to speed”. [BW]
Having been quiet for a little while, Naughty Dog’s upcoming The Last of Us returns to the public spotlight in this new clip. Being a new game from the guys behind the Uncharted trilogy, it’s one to keep an eye on. Don’t expect gameplay. Do expect trees. And vehicular carnage. The Last of Us: New…
New Star Soccer is a flash game that’s been available on PC for years now. It’s fun, and it’s free. Well, it’s also now out on Android, iPhone and iPad, and while it’s no longer free, it’s still great fun. Paring back a lot of the more interactive features present in the desktop version, the…
Tentacle Bento is the name of a card game currently up on Kickstarter seeking funding. As of posting, it has received twice as much money as it originally said it needed. Which is a bit of a bummer, since it’s a game about raping girls with tentacles. Yeah, you can say this is a fetish,…
If you think I mean Sonic, get out. And don’t come back. I mean Segata Sanshiro, Sega Saturn ad man and star of easily the greatest video game commercials ever made During the height of his popularity in Japan in the late 90s, Takara released this figure based on Sanshiro (played by former Kamen Rider…
After eleven years, the next entry in the Diablo series is now unlocked, open and ready to go. Or, at least, it should be. If you’ve got the client installed, have at it! And if you have any problems, comments or excited thoughts, please, leave them below. UPDATE – And whaddya know, people are having…
There are two kinds of Batman: Arkham City action figures. There are the standard ones, and there are the expensive ones. These are a new line of the standard ones, but before you let that put you off, some of them look pretty great. DC Collectible’s third series of Arkham City toys include six figures.…
Here’s an English-language trailer for the upcoming Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, for the Nintendo 3DS. Throwing Disney and Square Enix is still resulting in pretty much exactly what you’d expect it would.
After it was discovered last week that the number of “official” DICE and EA Battlefield 3 servers on console had dropped significantly in the wake of a new rental scheme, the developer has moved to bring a large number of them back. We were told last week that no servers had gone offline; instead, DICE’s…
Diablo III may have all the marketing and hype as far as the PC market is concerned, but I’ll be damned if anything, Blizzard-developed or not, is going to keep me from playing more DayZ this week. The zombie survival mod for Bohemia Interactive’s military sim ArmA II has come out of nowhere to be…
In 2010, Ubisoft released one of the best video game “trailers” I’d ever seen, using fancy effects and real actors to bring Ghost Recon to life. Now, two years later, they’re back, and this one’s not only longer, it’s better. I can’t imagine the marketing pull this will receive will be worth the time and…
Unlocks aside, Valve’s Steam service works pretty damn well. One thing it’s always been a little lacking in, though, has been its appearance. The latest redesign helped, but it’s still a little cluttered, a little messy. So designer Josh Collie thought he’d take a swing at redesigning the thing. I like what he’s come up…
