Every Sega fan has at some point foolishly hoped for a sequel to a forgotten franchise from the publisher, whether it be Shenmue III, Phantasy Star V or something with Jet Set Radio in the title. What about Hideki Kamiya? The creator of Bayonetta, Devil May Cry, Viewtiful Joe and more has officially asked, nicely,…
Looks like we may have missed an announcement, because yesterday we incorrectly assumed that the first Nintendo DSi-only game in Japan would also be the first Nintendo DSi-only game released in North America. We didn’t know about System Flaw. That game, Nintendo DSi owners, will be the first retail release to claim the title of…
Toki, the 1989 arcade platformer featuring a monkey with impressive spitting skills, is getting a high-definition remake for Xbox Live Arcade and PC via young French development studio Golgoth. Confused? I know, the TAD Corporation’s arcade work may not be on your list of classic games in need of an HD overhaul, but I vaguely…

That’s how the British Board of Film Classification describes the potentially objectionable content in next week’s downloadable…
Lionhead Studios’ recently announced Fable III, first detailed at Gamescom this summer, will make use of Microsoft’s Project Natal controller. That’s according to reports from Peter Molyneux‘s BAFTA Video Games Lecture in London.

There’s something to be said for a game that has Bowser performing a triple Salchow in figure skating or Dr. Eggman sweeping the ice in curling. I’m just not sure what that something is, though. Exciting? Surreal? Blasphemous? Whatever the case, such sights are possible in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, a…
The PlayStation 3 version of Borderlands is a bit broken, according to early reports from owners of that game. The game’s cooperative multiplayer mode won’t recognize other Borderlands players on the PS3’s friends list, an issue Gearbox is already addressing. In addition to problems with the PSN friends list, Borderlands is reported by users to…
PlatinumGames’ sexy shoot ‘n’ kick fest Bayonetta made headlines earlier today for securing a “perfect” 40 out of 40 score from the editors of Japan’s Famitsu magazine. That’s kind of a big deal. But there’s a footnote worth mentioning. See, those “perfect” Famitsu scores are generally granted very infrequently—although that frequency has definitely increased over…
Insomniac Games’ Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time is scheduled to hit the PlayStation 3 next week. But the wait to play portions of it will be much shorter, thanks to the first of two demos. That Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time demo should hit alongside the weekly PlayStation Store…
And it didn’t take much, to be honest, as The Beatles: Rock Band footage looks pretty good with whatever Beatles song is put before it.

Alpha Unit’s Monster Finder, the first Nintendo DSi-only retail game announced for the platform, looks like it may have been picked up by Konami, due to arrive stateside early next year.

Every year, Vintage Computing & Gaming’s Benj Edwards compiles a list of the best video game inspired Halloween costume ideas that you’ve probably not yet considered. This year’s may be his best (or at least most obscure) yet. There’s some real gold here, including the pictured option, Shadax from Solstice, whose “luminous footwear can brighten…
Sony’s highly anticipated end to the God of War trilogy won’t attempt to shoehorn in some sort of multiplayer component. But the game’s developers may have a way of convincing you not to trade in the game after completing it. God of War III producer Stig Asmussen tells GamePro that the PlayStation 3 game may…
Though it didn’t make an appearance in the NPD Group‘s top ten bestselling games in the U.S. for September, 5th Cell‘s innovative Nintendo DS game Scribblenauts conjured up impressive sales.

Infinity Ward’s revelation that Modern Warfare 2 for the PC would drop dedicated servers for online multiplayer in favor of the developer’s IWNET tech was met with the usual community grumbling.
