Think you are excited about Sony’s upcoming portable, the NGP? You’re not alone. Game developers are apparently totally jazzed about it, too. And the NGP might not only change the way you play games, but the way video games are made. “NGP is a developer’s dream,” a developer speaking under anonymity told website Eurogamer. “Sony…
Later this month, the Nintendo 3DS will go on sale in Japan. Players can enjoy 3D without the glasses, and all early indications are that this handheld is going to be a hit. Glasses-free TVs, however, are floundering. When pre-orders kicked off for the 3DS last month, gamers lined up early in the morning to…
Why get a boring old credit card, when you can get a really interesting one that probably says more about you than anyone really wants to know? Love Plus, Konami’s love simulator, is the latest otaku favorite to get its own credit card, which you can flash for big purchases — you know, expensive hug…
One of the most popular indie games on Xbox Live Arcade last year was Baby Maker Extreme. Here’s the sequel. You are still pushing out babies who are still acting like total jerks.
In Magicka, you don’t just shoot fire or ice at things. You can combine them with electricity then shoot everything on the screen. Including your friends. And yourself. It’s the surprise PC hit of the year (so far, anyway!), and while it’s had a litany of technical problems, it’s also a lot of fun. If…
Upcoming game Catherine gets another teaser trailer, which not only teases, but also baffles. That’s Catherine for ya!
You know how you have the ice cream part that goes in the middle and the cookie parts that stick out? The 3DS is designed like that, but for a very good reason. The original DS was pretty easy to open and close. The DS Lite, however, was not. When shut, it clammed up. And…
There’s a new Elder Scrolls game coming! That’s enough to get most fans of the series excited, but not this guy. He gets really excited. Excited enough to go questing It’s the work of web animation darling Harry Partridge (of Saturday Morning Watchmen fame), who normally focuses on things other than gaming. The way he…
Don’t think of upcoming fighting crossovers as Street Fighter x Tekken (or vice-versa), but rather, one unhinged game producer against another. Kotaku first reported on the Twitter antics of Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono and Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada last summer. Since then, things have escalated as evident by the baseball bat and knives Ono…
This is Gareth. He’s playing through the early stages of Fallout: New Vegas on the PC. Why are we watching him? Because he can play it without using his hands. Gareth, who through disability does not have the use of his hands, is able to customise a game’s controls to the degree that he can…
Gearbox Software’s Randy Pitchford does a delightful job of explaining the need for a game to “hook” the player. It can be heard on the latest instalment of the always-excellent Irrational Interviews podcast
Griefing. The act of undermining another’s online gaming experience. It’s usually a dirty word, one associated with cretins and assholes. Yet when applied to the right target, it can also be associated with great things. This is Garry’s Mod. It’s a PC “game” based on Valve’s Source Engine, and lets people run around just…doing stuff…
Yesterday afternoon, Kotaku reported that Battlefield creators DICE would be releasing the game’s first trailer. That trailer, apparently, is already online, supposedly leaking tonight. Images of the multi-player military shooter were revealed in the latest Game Informer. The game has the same visual vibe of Battlefield: Bad Company 2, but with decimated environments. As mentioned…
Akihabara. The mere mention of it conjures images of retro game shops, arcades, aisles of manga and maids, yes, maids. Wouldn’t it be great to visit them? Like, right now? If you live in Tokyo, that’s a clinch. But for the rest of the world, visiting Akihabara isn’t so easy. Enter Akihabara 360 Map, Google…
Publisher THQ said today that Saints Row III will be out this Fall. Fingers crossed for more Busey Teeth
Behold, it is packaging! Here’s a close-up shot of the Intercooler STS attatched to the Xbox 360. Almost seamless! That is one sexy beast. The old Xbox 360 Intercooler looks like ass in comparison.
Simpsons fan artist Dean Fraser revisits the world of Street Fighter to show us a man whose haircut would actually fit right in on the animated series. Impressive! As impressive at is, however, we know as well as you that Guile’s theme not only goes with everything, but makes everything better. Even Guile. [Street Fighter:…
Upcoming PC title Two Worlds II was supposed to launch in the UK tomorrow. That launch has been pushed back to the end of February, however, after the freighter carrying all the games had a little trouble “We just received the container from China with the Collector’s Edition and other components and they are wrecked,”…
