OnLive, the games on demand service that we first told you about this past March, has entered its promised summertime beta phase, letting PC game players test the potentially game-changing system for themselves. Steve Perlman, OnLive founder and CEO, announced the beta today on the service’s official blog. Beta registrants who signed up early should…
Based on Metal Gear series creator Hideo Kojima’s comments about the two teams working on Metal Gear Solid: Rising and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, we’re guessing Kojima Productions is home to daily office brawls between the two. Kojima tells Gamepro that the two teams have a sort of rivalry going on as each title…
Valkyria Chronicles fans, we have good news. Sega has begun to tease something Valkyria Chronicles related, meaning, well, we actually have news that Valkyria Chronicles news may be coming. Yes, this is why they call these things “teasers.” The official Sega blog points fans to the equally official Valkyria Chronicles Twitter and Facebook accounts, which…
The PlayStation company is putting its electronics might behind 3D television technology, with Sony expected to start selling fancy three-dimensional displays next year—with 3D PlayStation 3 games being readied to capitalize on the technology. According to the Financial Times, Sony boss man Sir Howard Stringer will be announcing the company’s plans to invest in 3D…
The follow-up to Q Entertainment and Phantagram’s Ninety-Nine Nights is coming to the Xbox 360 courtesy of publisher Konami, not Microsoft, oddly enough. At least Konami was generous enough to dole out five new screens of the hack-and-slash sequel. They’re definitely darker and grislier in tone than the original Ninety-Nine Nights, which sure seemed like…
Insomniac Games’ latest PlayStation 3 adventure Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack In Time has an official release date —Tuesday, October 27, at least in these United States. More importantly, there’s new box art, complete with snazzy PS3 re-branding. And not a bad piece of art, eh? At least made easier to appreciate with the…
Feeling a bit sore about the abandoned Star Wars Battlefront III, previously in development at TimeSplitters and Haze house Free Radical? Here’s a little salt for that wound, alleged Star Wars Battlefront IV concept art. Unseen64 has more than a dozen purported concept paintings from the fourth Star Wars Battlefront game, which seems to have…
Flash platformer Canabalt may be simple in concept, but what it lacks in gameplay variety, it more than makes up for in being awesome. This “daring escape” platformer is simply beautiful and beautifully simple. Two things to note. One, my best performance is some 3500 meters. Likely easily crushed with the right randomly generated set…
Electronic Arts will be stacking one more Rock Band release upon the ever-increasing pile, announcing Rock Band Mobile for unspecified mobile platforms that are not the iPhone and iPod Touch, thank you very much. The announcement looks to have come by way of EA Mobile‘s Facebook page, which enthusiastically notes that Rock Band Mobile will…
Good news from today’s Take-Two quarterly earnings call is that we got an update on Rockstar Games‘ L.A. Noire. The bad news? There’s no actual news, as Take-Two execs remained tight lipped about the title. The publisher wouldn’t offer any new details on the Team Bondi game, which is not currently on Take-Two’s list of…
Sony’s made it quite clear that the drought of “PSone Classics” re-releases of original PlayStation games for the PlayStation 3 and PSP is over. A new batch of ESRB ratings underscores that with a raft of new old PlayStation games. In addition to pumping out re-ratings for titles like Tomb Raider and Bloody Roar, PSone…
If you found the original video of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain reanimated for Guitar Hero 5 uncomfortable to watch, seeing his polygonal ghost prance about and sing the songs of Bush and Megadeth may simply be too much. This fan-created compilation (via Giant Bomb) of cringe-worthy Cobain moments—performing as Flavor Flav and Jon Bon Jovi,…
Publisher Take-Two is going to have a very busy—and likely very profitable—beginning to 2010, with a quartet of top-tier releases all hitting in the first half of next year. That means BioShock 2, Max Payne 3 and more. Take-Two chairman Strauss Zelnick said during an earnings call today that Mafia II, Red Dead Redemption, BioShock…
Can you believe that the Tokyo Game Show is mere weeks away? Sega’s ready, laying out its plans for the show, offering a list of games that will be on display at the Makuhari Messe. The list includes a list of titles we expect to be playable, like Bayonetta and The House of the Dead:…
The first games that will be playable on a Nintendo DSi and a Nintendo DSi-only will hit later this year, with the first game officially announced to be Alpha Unit‘s Monster Finder. As we expect to happen in North America, the first DSi-only game will be from a third party, taking advantage of the handheld’s…
Infinity Ward’s latest multiplayer reveal for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 features, according to the developer, “uncut” direct feed Capture The Flag gameplay. Neat, yes, but there are some newish details seen for the first time within. Some of those details you may have heard creep out from recent GameStop and Game Crazy get…
Bobby Kotick, chief executive officer at Activision Blizzard and hero to gamers everywhere, is nothing if not confident. He’s so confident in the video game industry that he sees the potential for it to surpass movies and TV. That may be because his company is sitting on some of gaming’s biggest franchises—Call of Duty, World…
As seen at Sunset Junction on Undefeated’s blog.
MTV Games and Harmonix are officially embracing the weekly Rock Band night at your local pub, backing an initiative known as Rock Band Bar Nights to help promote watering holes who host such regular events. The folks behind Rock Band appear to be taking the opportunity seriously, with a series of promotional tools to highlight…
Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story is on a very very short list of games releasing before the holidays that I plan on purchasing—with my own money!—and completing from start to finish. That’s rare! While not normally a fan of the role-playing game genre, I’ve been a big fan of the Mario & Luigi RPG…
