When the GameCube went on sale back in 2001, Nintendo priced the console at ¥25,000 and at US$199 for the US. So if you were to purchase a hundred GameCubes back then, you’d spend a pretty penny. But what about in 2011? An online Yahoo! auction offered the chance to purchase one hundred of the…
After revealing a social networking spin on Resident Evil, Osaka-based game maker Capcom says its creating a new brand called Beeline Interactive to focus on smartphone games. You could say Capcom is making a beeline for smartphone games.
If you’re going to venture out into the wilds of Nintendo’s Pokémon series, hoping to catch, imprison and then enslave some adorable little creatures, then you should probably bring the iPokédex with you. It’s a handy little guide for the game which includes (almost) every single Pokémon from every Pokémon game, as well as their…
The Atari 400’s keyboard sucked. It wasn’t so much the brown and orange color scheme, but those pressure sensitive keys. Japan’s Niyari ditched the pressure sensitive nonsense and is releasing an Atari 400-style computer keyboard, complete with low-profile keyboard keys. It’s not for old Atari machines, but for those hoping to give their desktop a…
“Unfortunately, the circumstances didn’t allow us to make a 360 exclusive,” Mortal Kombat boss Ed Boon told website Eurogamer. “I’m not allowed to talk too much about it, but I can tell you we certainly wanted to do an exclusive for 360, but that’s all I can say. It was not a decision we made…
No, this isn’t an ad for tanning cream. This is an actual screenshot for the upcoming Street Fighter X Tekken. The developers are either big fans of Jersey Shore or Yakuza bossman Toshihiro Nagoshi. Or both!
Balaclava company Ballys is coming out with a line of Mortal Kombat-inspired winter weather gear for your noggin, letting you beat the cold and look like Scorpion (or Sub Zero) while you’re doing it. While being “100% unofficial”, yeah, you can tell who they are. They’re $20, and you can get them from Ballys’ online…
Popular webcomic Penny Arcade, which already holds two gamer-focused shows throughout the year, is about to kick off a third: PAX Dev, which is an industry-only event “where digital and pen/paper game developers alike can focus on their craft”. To ensure this “intimate setting”, no business types (like retailers) will be invited. No press, either.…
According to Warner Bros., the web series premiered with over five million views on YouTube.
Portal’s brand of humour has always been decidedly high-brow. Short on slapstick, high on menacing computers. So it’s a relief to see Mega 64 can find a way to work butt jokes into the universe while still making it feel…Portal-ish.
On the latest installment of Xbox Japan’s Inside Xbox, a bunch of games for this April were introduced. Some of the games are Xbox exclusives, some of them, like WRC: FIA World Rally Championship, are not. Out this month in Japan, WRC: FIA World Rally Championship is a rally racing title based on the actual…
According to what’s supposedly a Sony Store employee blog, no more PSPgo shipments are planned and the portable is apparently out of production. Over on the official Japanese Sony Style page, it is not in stock and shipments are TBA. When asked about this, Sony replied, “It is a very exciting time for PlayStation portable…
Confusing headline, I know, because this is going to take some explaining. This is the SLG 3000, and it apparently can make old games played on a new TV look as good as they were originally designed. How does it do this? The SLG 3000 is a circuit board that you plug your console into,…
Playboy’s Jo Garcia is a big gamer. Ultimate Fighting Championship octagon girl Brittney Palmer is a big button masher. Together, they go boob-to-boob knuckle-to-knuckle in Mortal Kombat. It’s kinda hard to tell what’s going on, between the shiny pastels, the bizarro controller exercises (PowerGlove, really?) and the whole schtick. Shouldn’t be any surprises for what…
You probably won’t read much of this review. If you know what Portal 2 is you probably just want to know if the new game is great like the old one (it is) and if it is long enough to pay full price (depends on how much money you earn each week). If you don’t…
This won’t spoil the actual game in any way, so don’t worry, but there’s a unique little bonus included with copies of Portal 2.
This is martial artist Pek Pongpaet, who along with his friends Don, Taylor and Yusuf performed the motion-capture for the latest Mortal Kombat trailer. So if you thought that was all just computers and make-believe characters, nunh unh. In the clip above, you can see just how good this guy is. Fun fact: Pongpaet’s favourite…
Picking up where the first episode left off, the second episode of the new Mortal Kombat web series once again has Jeri Ryan as Sonya Blade and Michael Jai White as Jax hot on the heels of 300’s Darren Shahlavi as Kano. Mortal Kombat: Legacy is a series of nine live-action shorts that explore the…
This is a Neo Geo. A working, fully armed and operational Neo Geo. Made entirely of finely-crafted walnut. I don’t know the precise moment master craftsmen and video games got together, but it’s a union worth celebrating. The entire console’s casing is made out of walnut. Even the cartridge slot. Everything inside, though, is pure…
Everything is now digital. This sentence, for example, doesn’t exist in tangible space. But there was a time when you could reach out and touch everything. There was a time when paper was king. That time is over. But don’t tell that to Tomohiro Yasui. In his hand-made ring, paper is still king – and…
