No sooner did a reader write to us that their brand-new copy of Batman: Arkham CIty came with a code-less Catwoman DLC card, then the official Arkham Twitter feed said they’re aware of the issue: “You will get to play as the sexy thief,stay tuned for update.” Batman PR had no further details for us…
The PlayStation Vita, Sony’s successor to the PSP and its answer to Nintendo’s 3DS and Apple’s ascendent game-playing iPad, will be out on February 22, just three months after it launches in Japan, in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia, and Latin America. Sony says there are more than 100 games in development for the system,…
The people who made Portal 2 want to make it easier for you to make more Portal 2, according to a new report about the making of the game’s Peer Review expansion written by GTTV host Geoff Keighley. In a free expansion to his PC, Mac and iOS behind-the-scenes article/app The Final Hours of Portal…
The excellent Batman: Arkham City is now on sale for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and we want you to have the best possible time with it. So, before you start, here are some tips from us about how to get the most out of the game, right from the start. No spoilers here,…
The movie Immortal will arrive in movie theaters on 11/11/11, according to a poster I saw at my local subway stop in Brooklyn. I associate that date with another upcoming release: the video game Skyrim I may have made the connection because effective marketing has ingrained the 11/11/11 release date in my brain as the…
Today’s Talk Amongst Yourselves is the same as last year’s TAY, except for one thing. This is still our daily forum where you can talk about games. But last year, Chuck Greene was welcome. Not this time. No, this time, we welcome Frank West. Thanks to reader Pan1da7 for today’s image (and who also did…
Last week, I wrote about my experiences as a left-handed person playing The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. To save you the re-reading, I’ll let you know that I survived. I had some trouble playing the game, which seemed tailored for righties, but I got used to it. Some readers, however, wondered if there was…
I like SSX games so much that I know that the person who created the screenshot atop this story named it wrong. Someone at SSX publisher EA called our boarder here Koari. Her name is Kaori. I know this because no video game took over my house quite the way SSX 3 did several years…
At New York Comic-Con last week, I found a case full of Star Wars: The Old Republic stuff. Not the video game. The stuff. Books, comics, statues, and even Razer’s Old Republic mouse and headset (apologies for not being sure it was Razer’s in the video. It is!) So if the December 20 game isn’t…
My biggest problem now with Star Wars: The Old Republic is that I recently switched my home computer to a Mac. This is a problem, because, several months after I first played it… years after it was first hyped.. I finally want to play Star Wars: The Old Republic, this December’s PC-only massive Star Wars…
I used to write a thing called the Game Diary each weekday. I did it for a previous employer. I did it for my own now-dormant blog. I briefly did it for my Facebook Fan Page (hmmm… maybe I should do something there). I’m not ready to bring it back yet, but I am playing…
The right way to start your Monday is to talk here about video games. Carry on with your comments about the world’s premiere form of entertainment (give or take the movies, books, music, spelunking, etc.) Thanks to reader Pan1da7 for today’s image. Take a crack at being featured atop TAY some time this month simply…
Next April’s Prototype 2 will refine the violence of the original 2009 Prototype. That was expected. Prototype is a game about being ultra-powerful and letting nothing: not the military, not monsters, not anyone or anything stand in your way. In the new game we can cause even more chaos, ripping the weapons off military vehicles…
The star of our latest batch of cosplay shots is a 12-year-old Dead Space fan who started making his costume in early summer when his aunt agreed to take him to Comic-Con. He’s got a head lamp on under his helmet to make his visor glow. And he’s got our admiration for making one of…
Capcom’s fighting game guru Seth Killian says it’s kind of cheap, but you can play as Galactus in Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3. He showed off that feature today in a trailer that showed the devourer of worlds giving Wolverine (and Nova) a beatdown. We caught this at the New York Comic-Con and, as you…
We got a treat at New York Comic-Con today. We got the world’s first look at the trailer for next summer’s The Amazing Spider-Man game. You should watch this one. Just about a minute long, it’s enough to make you forget there’s a brand-new Spider-Man game out this month. That one’s dead to me, as…
Yesterday we reported that the 10th anniversary Grand Theft Auto III will be for iPad 2, iPhone 4S and other cutting-edge devices. What of older iPads/iPhones? Rockstar tells us they’ll bring it to “single core iOS devices in the future.”
This big-ass arcade machine stands 11 feet tall. It would require quarters 3 1/2 inches in diameter. The trackball is 4 1/2 inches wide. The screen is 73 inches. The whole thing is about 2.2x bigger than a standard arcade machine. It was built by the madmen at ArcadeDLX.com who create custom cabinets and are…
Last year, the people who made Guitar Hero and Rock Band made the best game for the Xbox 360’s Kinect sensor, the hands-free dancing game Dance Central. We danced in front of it, one at a time, as it tracked and scored our moves. We loved it. A year later, we have a sequel that…
Something is wrong with Uncharted 3. The big PlayStation 3 action-adventure game coming out on Nov. 1 from the folks at Naughty Dog did not earn a perfect 10. Uh-oh. The people from GamingEverything tracked down a copy of Playmania, a Spanish magazine that has reviewed the game. Apparently, Playmania detected a flaw of .1…
