OK, I think we’ve all had just about enough of this Gangnam Style business. So let’s tie it all off neatly with what really should have been the first video game parody of the lot: Grand Theft Auto IV’s. GTA IV – GANGNAM STYLE [YouTube, via Rockstar]
Experience the big-screen in private. That’s the sales pitch for head-mounted displays. One would think that the only real areas for technological advancement would be in the screen resolution and the actual weight of the device. Introducing the Prototype-SR (Substitutional Reality), a new take on the head-mounted display. Based on Sony’s HMZ personal 3D viewer…
With Hollywood flick Resident Evil: Retribution now in theaters, the cast doesn’t need those fancy outfits anymore! Today at the Tokyo Game Show, the costumes from the movie were on display, headless statues and all. There’s Alice’s skin tight body suit, Ada Wong’s dress, Carlos Olivera’s gear, and the outfit worn by Japanese popstar Mika…
Capcom today announced the first major expansion for its RPG Dragon’s Dogma, called Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen It’ll be out next year on 360 and PS3. I’d tell you more, but at the moment there’s not much more to tell other than what’s in the trailer up top! UPDATE – Still no info on the…
Rapper DMX is, by some accounts, a handy guy with a knife, a gun, drugs and a mic. Before you go proclaiming him some renaissance man, however, watch him try and use a computer. Note that he’s not being asked to render something in 3D Studio Max, or code a web page. Or even using…
We’ll have more on Halo 4‘s campaign mode later in the day, but for now, here’s a collection of screenshots from the game, some in first-person, others not, all of them looking very purple Good to see 343 have at least stayed faithful to that particular aspect of the Bungie legacy.
EX Troopers is an anime take on the world of Lost Planet. There’s a 3DS version and a PS3 version. Today, I played both. EX Troopers offers run-and-gun gaming against giant monsters (the Akrids from Lost Planet) and robots (again, the Vital Suits from Lost Planet) with the occasional bandits (guess where they’re from!). You…
Wow, Linden Labs, what gives. You’re meant to be that place responsible for Second Life and all the weirdness that comes with it, not cool and interesting games like Patterns and Creatoverse We showed you Patterns yesterday, but it’s one of two games Linden is currently working on. The other is Creatoverse, an iPad game……
Earlier this week, chiptune band Anamanaguchi got a little upset when they saw a clip from a Disney app called PIXEL’D. The song used for the video sounds a lot like Anamanaguchi’s Jetpack Blues Sunset Hues I’m no copyright lawyer, and this is a messy area at the best of times, but I’d say they’ve…
Famed manga JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is once again bringing its colorful cast of characters and day-glo visual panache to the fighting game scene. Developed by CyberConnect2 and produced by Namco Bandai, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle unleashes manga-inspired attacks, such as running over people with cars.
“Kickstarter Is Not a Store”. The headline of this piece, banning “product simulations” on the site, says it all.
Realm Lovejoy is an artist currently working at Half-Life and Team Fortress developers Valve Software. Having helped create student title Narbacular Drop, which later evolved into what we now know as Portal, she’s also interned at Nintendo. So, yeah, dream career path right there. Among her current projects is Valve’s DOTA 2, for which she’s…
PC strategy gods Relic Entertainment look to be moving deeper into the world of free-to-play games, if a number of job descriptions on the company’s site are anything to go by. (They usually are). They’re looking for a Creative Director, Executive Producer and Senior Designer, all of which are specifically tagged as “Free-to-Play” roles. It’s…
Did you ever, as a kid, re-enact pivotal moments from the Star Wars trilogy? I know I did. Hell, I’d have done it as a teenager playing X-Wing if I’d had an orange jumpsuit lying around. You probably never did something this cool though: a complete re-enactment of the Battle of Hoth, complete with AT-AT…
To promote its latest wrestling card venture, Japanese developer Bushiroad held, well, a live wrestling match at this year’s Tokyo Game Show. Earlier this year, Bushiroad announced that it had acquired the rights to make card games for New Japan Pro-Wrestling
Be warned, there are spoilers ahead. Not that people die in the second series of HBO’s adaptation. That’s, uh, kind of the point. But some of the deaths are kinda important. And I’m not just talking about ***** or that time when ****** gets ****** by that ******. Oh, how we laughed. And then cried.…
Ninja Theory isn’t handling the PC edition of DMC. Polish studio QLOC is, and it’ll be out after the console versions
In May this year, Sony Computer Entertainment filed an application for a patent concerning biometric security. Not an entirely new idea, since there are consumer devices like phones (and the Kinect) that already have things like facial recognition, but it’s the scale of Sony’s thoughts on the matter that are important here. The patent, called…
Fan-made Black Mesa is a remake of Valve’s classic 1998 shooter Half-Life. It’s been in development for around eight years, which is poignant, since it’s been around that long since I’ve played the original. A lot has changed since then. For starters, the project’s original goal slowly became almost untenable as time went by. First…
Nintendo has once again made an add-on second Circle Pad for the 3DS. And, you know what, it’s not half bad. Actually, it seems like the Circle Pad Pro for the XL could be pretty good. The smartest thing about the larger Circle Pad Pro is its design. It’s not nearly as bulky as the…
