Here a look at upcoming iPhone game N.O.V.A. 2 in action. The graphics look unbelievable, but I wonder if they’ve tweaked the controls at all. I’m starting to think the auto-fire method is the best way to go on iPhone shooters.
You can now stare at the Blizzcon 2010 schedule and dream. What will they reveal at the keynote if we got Cataclysm revealed last year? What’s with the Diablo III panels?

Dead Rising is headed to the iPhone for the holidays, bringing with it the ability to beat up zombies with a wide assortment of objects, but not, it seems, the ability to separate zombie limb from zombie body. Slide to Play says the game won’t have boss fights, escort missions, photography, costumes or driving vehicles.…
Dead Rising: Case Zero introduced gamers not only protagonist Chuck Greene and his cute-as-a-zombie-button daughter, but also the game’s love of alcohol, vomit and funny, but crass humor. Case Zero also gave Xbox 360 owners a chance to check out the new gunplay mechanic for the game. Dead Rising 2 isn’t just about wading through…

“Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi” (“The Bridge over the Starry Sky”) was originally slated for release on December 11, 2009. Then it was delayed. A whole bunch. The next release date for the 18-years-old-and-up adult adventure game was penciled in for February 26, 2010. The release slipped to April 23. And that turned to May 28,…
Does the game industry have a Hollywood complex? BioShock designer Ken Levine seems to think so. “I think there’s a sense in the entertainment fields that video games are seen as the junior varsity,” Levine tells Develop. “There’s this feeling of ‘oh one day you can come up to our league’.” Back in the late…
You probably never stopped to look at one too closely, but if you had, you’d have noticed the Boos of the Mushroom Kingdom are made of thousands of tiny, individual horrors. As seen on Teefury
Granted, this mod – turning Starcraft II into what’s essentially Dead Space in the Blizzard universe – may never see the light of the day. But its creators deserve credit just for this demonstration video. The basic goal of the mod, called Project Vector, is to turn Starcraft II – a real-time strategy game –…
As previously posted, the Italian notebook maker is marking Pac-Man’s 30th anniversary with notebooks that white people everywhere should love. And if you don’t like the Moleskine journals, perhaps you like stop motion photography? Moleskine Pac-Man – Moleskine ® English [Moleskine via Technabob]

To compensate for the stickiness of control pads and the low resolution of televisions, video games that involve shooting have long employed the use of automatic aiming. It’s a luxury about to be enjoyed by real soldiers in the field. Last week, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded Lockheed Martin a $6.9 million…
A young woman named Yurina Takiguchi wearing a siren on her head is about to test drive a Fiat in Gran Turismo 5. She has never driven a car before and doesn’t have a license.

I get on my belly and inched forward. Looking through my scope, I could see several Greater Korean Republic troops making their way down a ridge. They were totally exposed. I fired. Pop, pop. Time to buy a drone. It was September during the Tokyo Game Show, and a group of the gaming press had…
NBA 2K11’s debut trailer. Snoop Dogg supplies the beats and is a playable celebrity in the blacktop pickup games. Answering the Jordan Challenges unlocks footage of his iconic highlights in-game.

But when an obscure Japanese role-playing game that’s been localised by three fans sells 26,000 copies, it’s enough to warm the darkest recesses of your heart. Recettear: An Item Shop’s Tale is a quirky little game which puts you in the shoes…
Another autumn, another Dream Party. The fall Dream Party was recently held in Tokyo, complete with cosplayers, booth companions and sticker-covered cars called “itasha” (“painmobile”). There is even moé pudding. As there should be? Dream Party is a twice-a-year bishoujo gathering in Tokyo and Osaka for game developers, retailers and fans. Some, but not all,…
