Capcom, who makes video games, has a bar, which serves food and drinks. Today, Japanese website Famitsu.com posted photos of a recent visit to the establishment. The place serves Capcom themed food, and it’s on the pricey side. Famitsu‘s photos, in the above gallery, don’t exactly make the dishes look appetizing. But maybe the food…
Well, duh. Skip to the 46-second mark to see the Assassin’s Creed assassin to take on himself in this latest round of SoulCalibur V gameplay footage.

Kotobukiya, the famed Japanese figure maker, released photos of its upcoming Avengers Iron Man Mark VII ARTFX Statue. It’s stunning. According to the press release, the statue comes with a three-mode LED chest light-up feature and can be triggered by an on-board motion detector. Iron Man’s eyes also light up with LED! The figure is…
And who doesn’t? Kidding! (I love you Sega. I think.) Back in Dec. 2010, Kotaku broke the news that Sega was working on a urine-powered game system for Japanese toilets. The result, now installed at bars throughout the country, is doing more than measuring urine speed. “This gives bar customers more things to talk about…
Westerners notice it. The clothes run slightly smaller, and a medium in Japan would be a small—or even a petite—back home. Barring the exception here or there, Japanese people tend to have smaller frames. People are, generally speaking, thin. So what the hell is up with diet ads like these? The above photos appeared recently…
Comic book artist Alex Garner had so much fun with his Portal 2 fan piece that he decided to do his own take on upcoming game BioShock: Infinite The result pays homage to the iconic Saturday Evening Post covers of illustrator J.C. Leyendecker “But after drawing my layout, I discovered that the smart folks at…
Sorry if this finds you groggy and early in the morning. Though, really, what better way to blow out the cobwebs than with a little Ministry circa 1992? Having been around for over three decades, Ministry have been called a lot of things over the years, most of them with the word “industrial” somewhere in…
If you’ve played any of Valve’s Left 4 Dead games, you’ll know how the zombie hand (and fingers) played into each subsequent installment. Artist VutiAru wondered if the still-unannounced Portal 3 could do the same thing and created this concept box art. According to VutiAru, it hints at a total new direction. That it does.…
Trailers. Walkthroughs. Cat videos. Whatever it is you waste your time watching on YouTube, have you ever considered the sheer scale of content being uploaded to the service’s servers? YouTube has, and has put together this awesome site to help you visualise it. Basically, every second that passes in the real world, an hours’ worth…
Bizarrely, the imprisoned founder of file-sharing site Megaupload – Kim Dotcom, formerly Kim Schmitz—was also until this week the world’s number one Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 gamer on Xbox Live. A week in the slammer will do things to your top ranking, though, and while he’s been cooling off in a New Zealand…
At Starbucks, you see people with their iPads, their MacBooks, and, yes, their gaming portables. What you don’t usually see are people with their home consoles. There’s a reason for that! “Home consoles” are called “home consoles”, because gamers play them at home. “Portable consoles” like the 3DS and the PS Vita are created for…
As a principal artist at BioWare, and before that EA, Rodrigue Pralier has built (and dressed) some pretty badass game characters over the years, up to and including a certain Commander Shepard. Working on the Mass Effect series Pralier has helped build some cool models and costumes, including Shepard in some Mass Effect 2 DLC…
Late last year, a British documentary used footage from a video game and amazingly labelled it as a secret IRA recording. It has now, a few months later, been given a severe dressing-down. British communications regulator Ofcom, which began an investigation into the incident last October, has this week issued its report on the matter,…
The Oakland branch of the Occupy movement is moving off the streets and into an abandoned building later this week. In doing so, they get facilities like kitchens, meeting rooms, etc. All that’s missing is an arcade machine. So Anna Anthropy wants to build them one. It’ll run on batteries, move on wheels and should…
The last time we say indie PC game Cube World, it looked interesting. Fast forward six months and a lot has changed. For the better. The voxel-based 3D adventure game, which is procedurally-generated yet each time includes a proper game, now looks gorgeous. So much so the team was very nearly bought out by Minecraft…
I’ve been meaning to post about these for years now, but they keep slipping my mind. Or does my mind sweep them out to preserve its own sanity? Probably the latter. Shitty peripheral company Kamikaze Gear offers these decals for the Wii and DS that are so awful they flip right back around again and…
“I’m 12 and what is this”. If you don’t know what that means, here. Everybody back on the same page? OK, so we can all have a laugh at this poor guy’s expense when he was banned from Star Wars: Old Republic for using the line. Posting “I’m 12 and what is this” in a…
PC gamers looking to get access to Skyrim’s 1.4 update earlier than expected, you can download it right now if you turn on beta access. [Bethesda]
Enterprising hackers, who have cracked open the PS3’s v3.55 firmware, now have a pretty neat feature running on Sony’s new handheld: the ability to remotely play games like Battlefield 3 on a PlayStation Vita.
