Finally, The Censored Duke Nukem Forever Trailer
Duke Nukem Forever has a launch date. May 3. And now you all can finally see the trailer I saw of the game in September — just with some of the breasts pixelated. Plus, it’s got a Duke Xbox controller, sorta. Duke Nukem Forever, which is now being made by Gearbox Software, has been in…

Duke Nukem Forever Has a Release Date, And No You’re Not Dreaming
The long-awaited Duke Nukem Forever will be out in North America on May 3, Take-Two said today. (May 6 worldwide). Six months ago, we’d have laughed that off, but we did play the game in September. It’s real. You’re not dreaming right now.

Report: Modern Warfare 3 Coming In November, Spin-Off Delayed To Get It Done
If we’re getting a Modern Warfare 3 this November, it’s going to come at the cost of an Call of Duty spin-off from the head creator of Dead Space, the Los Angeles Times reported today. Citing “people familiar with the situation,” the paper says that Infinity Ward, the studio behind the last two Modern Warfares…

Zelda Remake Will Be More User-Friendly On The 3DS, Probably Not Longer
The still-undated remake of The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo 3DS looks better and has a better inventory system — an upgrade that shouldn’t be underestimated. But don’t expect new content. “I wouldn’t anticipate any extra dungeons,” Nintendo’s Bill Trinen told Kotaku in an interview yesterday in New York City,…

Android Users Get Plants Vs. Zombies This Spring
Plants Vs. Zombies, a wonderful video game that is on just about every device other than Androids and toasters, will be out for Androids in “Q2”, the folks at Popcap tell us. That means April-June. We played it briefly this week. Looks sharp. Peggle’s a Q2 Android game too.

Not A Real 3DS Accessory
This man, JC Rodrigo, works for Nintendo. He’s good at explaining the 3DS’ surprise features, but he mustn’t roam free with Nintendo’s next hot thing. Yesterday at a Manhattan event, he had to keep his 3DSes tied to his body. Gameface is a photographic celebration of the people who make, play and love video games.

Red Faction Armageddon And The Beauty Of Reversing Chaos
It is often more fun to destroy than it is to create. Many of us realized this when we were young, when we played with Lego sets or made sandcastles. Scores of video games endorse this philosophy. The new Red Faction most magically does not. In New York last week, representatives from the company making…

Short Cords, Long Friend Lists And Other Burning 3DS Questions Answered
We’re on the verge of the release of Nintendo’s first major new gaming system in a half-decade, the 3D capable 3DS. It’s the seasons, then, for both excitement and lots of little nagging questions.

Hands-On With Dead Or Alive: Dimensions And Its Unusual Controls
How do you do a fighting game on the 3DS? You do it the Super Street Fighter IV way or this Dead or Alive way. Pretty similar. Touch-screen is optional but helpful for those who are fighting-game-challenged (like me). Note that Dead or Alive Dimensions, a “launch window” game for the Nintendo 3DS, will also…

Hands-On With Kid Icarus Uprising, A Superb-Looking 3DS Game
It might be a little hard to appreciate how good the 3DS’ Kid Icarus Uprising looks in this video. All games look better in person and not under funky lighting. But, surely you can see? Kid Icarus was the best-looking game I played on the Nintendo 3DS at today’s New York City pre-launch event. I…

Geometry Wars, Blur Studio Will Likely Close After All
With no sign of a buyer in sight, it looks like it is the end of the road for the troubled Bizarre Creations, the British game development studio behind Blur, Geometry Wars, Project Gotham Racing and James Bond game Bloodstone, according to a report on the UK site Develop

This Is A 14-Year-Old’s Blockbuster Game
We already told you that 14-year-old Robert Nay’s free Bubble Ball is more popular than Angry Birds on iTunes right now. Let’s see how the game runs and let’s laugh together when it stumps me. One of the lessons I’ve drawn from playing Bubble Ball is that if someone ever asks you to make a…

Two More 3DS Games With Strange Names
Add two more games to the Nintendo 3DS roster: Pet Zombies in 3D “lets players reanimate their very own zombies with a range of customizations” and Face Kart: Photo Finish, a racing game from the makers of Dementium The Ward, both from Majesco.

Halo Reach Myths Busted
The force of a gravity hammer will not save you from a terrible fall (in Halo; probably also in real life). That and other Halo Reach myths are busted (or confirmed) in the newest episode of Halo Reach Mythbusters. I don’t need to know whether airborne beetles can kill motorcyclists, which is a myth the…

Let’s See If Superman 64 Really Is The Worst Game Of All Time
Some people say Superman 64 is the worst video game ever made, but why trust them? One brave man is doing the YouTube equivalent of flying faster than a speeding bullet. He’s playing the game for us to watch. “It’s one of those so-bad-it’s-good games,” YouTube user ProtonJonSA says of the 1999 Nintendo 64 disaster,…

2010 Game of the Year Finalist Debate: Red Dead Redemption
In another universe, they made a box containing Red Dead Redemption that’s just for me. The front is familiar. The back, though, boasts the kind of bullet points I might demand of a great video game: –Respects Your Intelligence (Because it doesn’t bore me with some easy and obvious macho super-hero of a main character.)…

40 Ways Dante Can Thrash Spider-Man In Marvel Vs. Capcom 3
Devil May Cry hero Dante has many, many moves in next month’s Marvel vs. Capcom 3. You can see a whole lot of them in this new clip. Some of us will be playing MvC3 using the game’s simple controls, which reduces the number of button presses and the number of moves Dante and other…
