So far, toy company NECA seems to be doing a pretty good job with a license for Valve’s catalogue of first-person shooters. But at the end of the day, NECA makes toys for the mass market, so what you’ll be getting will be fairly standard stuff. Over the weekend a potentially more exciting announcement was…
In December, Malukah performed a Skyrim song on YouTube that sent shivers across the internet. It was that good. She now returns to sing another, and this time has brought a friend, fellow internet musician Miracle of Sound Unlike the first one, which haunted your bones while you slept, this one is corny as hell.…
But apparently it does. Poor Cole. His suit looks a little worse for wear. At least he’s kept his hat in tip-top shape! I noticed something today [Reddit]
Those with faint stomachs may want to avoid clicking on this, lest they look upon what has become of this once-mighty franchise and despair. Unveiled late last year, Command & Conquer Tiberium Alliances is a browser-based take on the old real-time strategy series, which manages to combine the terms “massively multiplayer”, “browser-based” and “free-to-play” in…
Artist Michael Myers, whose work we’ve featured once or twice here previously, is the man to thank for this wonderful Kotaku banner image, which in the gallery you’ll find in a variety of wallpaper-ish sizes, both for desktops as well as phones. You can see more of Michael’s work at his personal site. You can…
Say what you will about the game’s departure from both the look and feel of the original, there were sections of the latest Syndicate that looked just great. Mostly anything involving an office from the future. Or anything that flew. Those looked awesome as well. This environment and vehicle art from the game is the…
This snappy little video, put together by MikeDiva as a promo for Street Fighter X Tekken, does just about everything you want from a live-action Street Fighter sequence. Which is include proper face-kicking, and include Vega.
Dave Rapoza’s Crimson Daggers (who we last saw taking on Gauntlet) has held another redesign competition, this time tasking artists with drawing alternate cover art for The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker Some of it stays with the cartoon theme. Some of it goes for a more realistic tone. Some of them are good. Some…
Not very long after adventure game legend Tim Schafer proposed resurrecting a long-dormant genre, and made a ton of money for doing it, another long-dormant kind of game – this time an 80’s RPG – did something similar. The amount of money Brian Fargo and his Wasteland team has already made is raising eyebrows. Where…
It’s The Good, The Bad & The Ugly, re-enacted by 1980s video game light guns. I’ll leave you to decide which is which. [via OMG Barry, via VGJunk]
What was once just heavily rumored has now been confirmed by those involved
Tom’s Guide is reporting that, based on word from an “industry source”, Bethesda will very soon be giving the world its first look at an Elder Scrolls MMO Called Elder Scrolls Online, and apparently set “several hundred years before” any previous game in the franchise that includes blockbusters like Skyrim and Oblivion, Tom’s says it…
The new Neo Geo handheld gaming system, which we first told you about in January, will be going on sale worldwide in Q2 2012. Which is very, very soon! The system has been licensed by Blaze, kinda-famous for similar handhelds that play old Genesis and SNES games, etc, and will be called the NEOGEO X.…
Actor D.C. Douglas, who played the role of Legion in Mass Effect 2 & 3, has posted an interesting look at the process behind bringing to life a character that doesn’t have one set of dialogue, but many Given the character’s introduction in the last game, and the possibilities inherent for him/it in Mass Effect…
Jason Boyer, whose delightful Jables’ Adventure we showed you last year, has something even cuter on the way: Tick Tock Isle, a game about a horologist. And if you know what that means, you’ll know why this is so awesome. (Disclaimer: my grandfather was a master watch repairer) You play Strike, who gets blasted back…
After it hit an excitement jackpot with news of a re-released Jet Set Radio, Sega must be frantically digging through its Dreamcast catalogue for more games it can sell to a whole new (or, well, same but older) audience, because it’s now teasing HD re-releases of Shenmue and Skies of Arcadia The sailor-catcher and cloud-based…
Square Enix has filed new trademarks in relation to the Mini Ninjas franchise. Which, very quietly, is one of my favourite games of this entire console generation. So this is way more exciting than it should be. [Siliconera]
Project CARS is a fascinating…project. It’s a racing game that, while helmed by professionals (the team behind Shift 2), is also being worked on by large teams of fans. Reader FLX1981, for example, went and filmed a track he and a friend wanted in the game. After making the suggestion and handing off the data,…
I don’t know what’s creepier, the face leering at everyone with the knife, or the wonky stick-figure body casually strolling around the streets. [thanks Jonathan!]
Wizorb is pretty damn great. It’s also now on Steam, and it’s 10% off. Go get some. [Steam]
