The World of Dragon’s Dogma is Going Portable (But Not The Action)

Okay, so it’s not actually a handheld port of Dragon’s Dogma. Capcom has announced Dragon’s Dogma Quest for the PS Vita: A 2D “network compatible RPG” set in the Dragon’s Dogma world. Dragon’s Dogma Quest will be available free to download. Basic gameplay will also be for free, but there will be purchasable in-game items.…

Man Gets Sick Of Playing Xbox, Asks To Go To Prison

You’d think a 19 year-old convicted criminal would be happy to avoid jail in favour of home detention and the chance to get some gaming done, but nope, not in the case of this unnamed New Zealander. Having already served ten months of an eleven month sentence for an undisclosed crime, the man called his…

This Loki Figure Made Me Appreciate The Avengers Costume Designers

As people are probably aware from my fairly frequent posts about Hong Kong collectible toy company Hot Toys’ Movie Masterpiece figures, I am a bit of a fan of the collectible figurine. Especially the ones that look superbly close to the real life characters they’re modeled after. So, the latest major hit to my wallet…

Don’t Buy New Video Game Hardware. Not Now.

With fantastic games on offer across just about every platform, with libraries that grow more accomplished with each passing day, you might think it’s always a good time to buy new video game hardware, should you still be without one of the major systems. Mostly, you would be correct. But not this month. There’s one…

This is the first gameplay trailer for FIFA 14. Not thefancy new FIFA for next-gen systems. The now tired-looking FIFA for 360, PS3 and PC.

Dark Souls’ Great Grey Wolf Is Coming For Your Blood

Sif, a boss from Dark Souls, is looking mighty fine on this mighty fine poster by artist Gibbs Rainock, who you might remember is not new to the Dark Souls poster business. You can buy this poster from Gibbs’ Etsy page. Dark Souls Poster – Great Grey Wolf Sif [Etsy]

The Only $1000 Bill Gates Photo You Will Ever Need

There are very few scenarios in which I would even consider spending $1000 on a photograph of former Microsoft boss Bill Gates. This – a signed photo of Gates playing Guitar Hero at CES looking like a goofball – is one of them. BILL GATES SIGNED PHOTO 11X14 RARE XBOX WII GUITAR HERO MICROSOFT JSA…

China Is Building An Army Of Gordon Freemans

Collectible company Gaming Heads, the same folks behind those awesome Team Fortress 2 statues, have posted a collection of photos showing how one of their upcoming pieces – Half-Life’s Gordon Freeman – is coming along at the factory. If you were expecting a fancy Deus Ex-like assembly line full of robots and clean white surfaces,…

Warhammer 40K Is Getting The Movie It Deserves

I tried to sit down and watch Ultramarines, Games Workshops’ official animated Warhammer 40K film, a few years ago. Made it maybe 15 minutes in. It was awful. Like bad 90’s PC game cinematics. Where official projects fail, however, fan projects can be counted on to succeed. And I don’t think I’ve ever seen a…

Insane “Route 66” Mod Turns GTA IV Into Grand Theft Turismo

Despite never having been to the US – he used photos and movie clips as reference – nine30 has made this incredible mod for Grand Theft Auto IV that turns the city-sized game into one giant and very not New York desert road. The mod, which isn’t yet available for download, is so long it…

One Thing’s For Sure About Remember Me: Its Art Is Beautiful

Remember Me is one of those rare – and wonderfully so – games thatdivides opinion. Yeah, it’s got some iffy combat, and the platforming’s not so great. But the world developers Dontnod created for it to exist in…just, wow. The Neo-Paris of 2084 is a remarkable place, taking design cues from the obvious – like…

Over at Dead End Thrills, screenshot specialist Duncan Harris has turned his eye on the striking sci-fi fantasy Remember Me. Head on over there for some screenshots so high-res they look like concept art.

Forcibly-Ported Indie Game to Get ‘Enhanced Director’s Cut’ for PC

The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile, an Xbox 360-only indie game that a Russian pirate “ported” over to PC as “a restoration of justice” will get an official PC release, the game’s studio said this evening. Ska Studios said a PC version of Vampire Smile had always been envisioned since the game released in 2011, but the…

Moneysaver One-Shot: Haswell And NVIDIA 700 Cards With 30% Credit Back

Phenomenal cosmic power… and (relatively) itty bitty price. I mentioned in today’s Moneysaver that Rakuten was running a promotion where customers could get 30% of their spendings back in store credit on purchases over $200 using the code SUMMER at checkout. Turns out this applies to the latest generation of Intel’s processors and NVIDIA’s video…

Valve Is Almost Done With Their Next Movie

Valve’s next Dota 2 documentary, Free to Play, is almost done, we’ve learned. They’re privately showing it off to “playtesters” all throughout June. A tipster just passed me this e-mail, which invites screeners to a movie-watching party at Valve’s place: I reached out to Valve marketing boss Doug Lombardi to ask what was going on.…

This Killer Metro: Last Light ‘Trailer’ Is More Like A Short Film

Video game trailers can be crass, they can be dumb, and they can be misleading. They can also be pretty damned cool. This trailer for Metro: Last Light is pretty damned cool. It’s called “The Mobious,” and it takes a long, freeze-frame tour through a bunch of the sorts of scenes you’ll see throughout the…

Oh Dear God, Playing Ocarina of Time Like This Is Terrifying

Last time, Vinesauce showed us the horrors of Sesame Street games. This time, they’re back with a very corrupted version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. They manage to transform Link into an abomination. Like I’ve said before: glitched out games can be treasure troves. (And the trove is full of horrors….just, FYI.)…

The Swapper: The Kotaku Review

The puzzle genre is the last place I expected to find a game that makes me feel guilty about killing. I’ve murdered myself a hundred times over in The Swapper, and it never gets any easier. “They aren’t really me,” I tell myself. “They aren’t alive.” Technically it’s true. The meat of Facepalm Games’ award-winning…
