So, Diablo III has a new crafting feature, the Artisan. This video shows how he works, brining some much-needed apron to the Monk’s sandy robes. I’d tell you more, but as a Diablo novice, I think the voice-over from Blizzard’s Jay Wilson in the clip below does a better job than I could ever manage.
The course count for Polyphony Digital’s real driving simulator Gran Turismo 5 is now approaching infinity, thanks to the game’s just revealed Course Maker, shown off today at Gamescom in Germany. Series creator Kazunori Yamauchi demoed the Course Maker feature today, showing that it’s not the type of tool that will let players build a…
Right now, there’s a PC version of Diablo III planned. A Mac version, too. But consoles? According to Blizzard, as of August 2010, there are no plans for a console version of the game. At a Q&A session earlier today, Blizzard’s Jay Wilson took to the podium to answer a bunch of questions, and that…
We’ve seen photos of the Nintendo 3DS, sure. Here are some extreme close-ups of the upcoming 3D-glasses-free device. You can see buttons and slots and holes. It’s like you are pressing your face right up against it. The Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo’s next generation of portable handheld gaming consoles, was made official this past spring. It…
Kotaku readers Francis and Nerissa recently tied the knot, and this sombre diorama topped their cake. I’d laugh, but as a recently-married man myself, I feel his pain.
Gate Online, a South Korean online game Kotaku previously introduced, appears to take its cues from two Valve titles: Portal and Team Fortress 2. Team Fortress 2 is a well-spring of sorts. Last summer, the game inspired another South Korean developed PC title, H.A.V.E. Online The influences for Gate Online are not as blatant as…
Konami is kicking off its Gamescom 2010 press conference with a greeting from the affable host Thomas Sauermann, who warns us that we’ll be hearing more about Pro Evolution Soccer, Def Jam Rapstar and Castlevania: Lords of Shadow today. And? Well, we’re about to find out. Konami’s Gamescom 2010 press conference kicks off now… Click…
Day two of Germany’s Gamescom show is about to begin, so could there be a better time to recap what happened on day one? Nope. Don’t think there could be. The big events were an Electronic Arts press conference, a Sony press conference and – slightly ahead of time – a bunch of announcements from…
The Persona role-playing-game franchise is getting a hi-def entry called “Catherine”. It’s an action-adventure type game that is aimed at adults. The game follows Vincent as he wakes up every night from his dreams. Vincent, website Siliconera points out, appeared in Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Portable!. Catherine is being developed for the PS3 and…
Capcom today revealed two more characters due for inclusion in upcoming brawler Marvel vs Capcom 3. One is a Capcom stalwart, the other, a Marvel villain that’s not exactly a household name. Marvel baddie first, and it’s Dormammu, the flaming-head tyrant. I’ll be honest. I’d seen the guy like twice in my entire life, and…
But that’s okay! Here is a promotional video for an upcoming “Big 3 Gun Shooting” bundle for Japan. Stick with the clip. It gets comic book crazy.
A commercial for Final Fantasy XIII has been reprimanded by Britain’s Advertising Standards Authority for using PlayStation 3 footage in an advertisement for the Xbox 360 version of the game. All it took was one viewer to complain to the advertising watchdog that the 360 ad was using PS3 footage for the ASA to sit…
Microsoft’s 360 avatars are looking a little on the portly side, because come the release of Kinect in November, they’re in for a little redesign. Why? It’s because of Kinect. Rare, the developers behind the avatars, say the motion-sensing camera has been causing problems for users when playing a game where their actions were replicated…

It’s great news that Steam is now available on Mac, but some users have been upset that performance isn’t quite as smooth as it is on PC. Maybe this latest update will help! Since the service launched on Mac earlier this year, Valve has been working with Apple to “close the performance gap” between games…
If Grand Theft Auto had been released in 1988, it would have looked a lot like, well, this. Designed as an 8-bit parody of not just GTA’s open-world gameplay, but of 80s culture itself, Retro City Rampage looks great. Fast, and something that’ll give me a headache, but great. It’ll be playable at PAX10 in…
Dawn of War II has featured a few of Warhammer 40K’s alien races, but they’ve never been playable in the game’s singleplayer campaigns. That’s about to change. In early 2011, Relic and THQ will release Dawn of War II: Retribution, a new expansion for Dawn of War II that features a story-driven campaign letting you…
