On June 4th, Rocket Company has opened the official site for Medabots 7 Beetle/Stag Beetle Version on the 3DS. The game will be released on September 9th in Japan. For those of you that have never heard of Medabots, the game was first released in 1997 and had its own TV anime series that aired…
Always on the lookout for crazy games, I dove into my local game store’s bargain bin and came up with Captain Rainbow. This adventure game follows the titular Captain Rainbow, a Power Ranger-like transforming superhero as he encounters many of Nintendo’s C-grade characters. I expected it to be weird, but I never for a moment…

Watch Dogs looks to be the best game you’ll see at the E3 gaming expo this year. The plot—one of paranoia—seems like a hype version of reality. In the background trailer for the game, the stage is set by ripping a page out of history. The game’s background trailer starts off with by mentioning a…
While the innocent bystander might be hard-pressed to notice the difference between this and FIFA 12 – especially since everyone’s wearing last season’s kits – fans will pick up things like increased physicality and AI teammates that maybe, just maybe, will actually make a decent run in on goal.
VIDEO GAME NEWS, ALL DAY, ALL THE TIME. E3 can get a bit much, can’t it? Sometimes you just need to take a deep breath, relax, and knock back a Kotaku E3 chaser. Like this one. Get the taste out of your mouth, even if only for an hour or two. Enjoy.
There was one glaring omission today. There was one glaring omission last fall at the Tokyo Game Show. It was the same glaring omission. It was The Last Guardian Kotaku saw the game in spring 2011, and it appeared to be progressing well. Appearances can be deceiving. First revealed in 2009, development for the eagerly…
For reasons known only to Sony and the Gods above, the company went an entire E3 press conference without mentioning the wonderful Sound Shapes. One look at this clip, showcasing some content for the game produced by the artists and musician behind Sword & Sworcery, will make you wonder why the hell that was.
Fine Art doesn’t stop just because E3 is going down. It just gets a little more poignant. Today we’ve got some official art from Microsoft’s Halo 4, some of it previously seen but much of it brand new. It’s a mix of content, some of it concept art, some of it in-game objects, others character…
You don’t fuck with Michael Ironside. If you give the man a Splinter Cell script and he doesn’t like it, he will come at you. Just like he came at Ubisoft in this trailer for the new Splinter Cell game, Blacklist, telling of his origins with the series. Ironside, the long-time voice of hero Sam…
The latest Hitman trailer, which was basically about a guy punching a lot of very (too?) sexy women to death, caused a bit of a fuss. It’s a little much, yes, but can’t we all see the lighter side of things?
Sony’s latest trailer for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale features new (and previously confirmed) characters, like Nathan Drake, duking it out in small arena.
Remote play (the ability to play console games on your Vita) appears to be slated for Ico, God of War HD, God of War II HD, Shadows of the Colossus. BlazBlue and BlazBlue Continuum Shift are supported. ファミ通 via @jonnyram]
As Ubisoft pointed out, the American Revolution was not just fought on land. It was also fought on sea. Assassin’s Creed III recreated the costal waters of the 18th century and designed an in-game weather system that can turn pleasant sea weather into anything but.

The latest God of War is PS Vita PS3 bound. Dubbed God of War: Ascension, the game is slated for release in March 2013. Eds. Note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated this game was a PS Vita. Apologies!
I’ve just finished playing Overrun, the new multiplayer mode in Epic and People Can Fly’s Gears of War: Judgment. As a fan of both Gears of War 3‘s enhanced horde mode and vicious Beast Mode, Overrun gives me exactly what I’ve been hoping for: Namely, a versus mode that lets players alternate between playing as…
Quantic Dream, the studio behind Heavy Rain, is back with another photorealistic, eye-popping game. It’s called Beyond, and it stars Ellen Page. Beyond looks more action oriented than Heavy Rain. But like Heavy Rain, it sports some jaw-dropping visuals.
There were a ton of things shown off today at E3, not technically the first day of the show (that’s tomorrow!), but counted as such by virtue of the big press conferences that go down. Some of it was good. Some of it was awful. Let’s recap and see which was which. Monday is often…
Today, Sony revealed that the God of War series has sold 20 million units as of May 30, 2012. Since 2005, seven God of War games have been released.
