It’s a feature that wasn’t disclosed during the public unveiling of the Nintendo 3DS, but Japanese business newspaper Nikkei is reporting that the new handheld will allow users to install games on its onboard storage. According to the paper’s report, “multiple games” can be installed off their original cart, meaning users could stock up on…
If Spec Ops: The Line was a movie instead of a game, and had released this trailer in 1994 instead of 2010, with all that slo-mo and Alice in Chains, it would be just about the most awesome thing ever Since it’s not, though, we have to take it for what it is: a shooter…
In an interview with Japan’s Nikkei, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata has hinted that the company’s next home console may, like the freshly-unveiled 3DS, go 3D. “If you display a 3D image, the image quality becomes extremely bad, so we’d probably do it with the next system”, he said. “We’re thinking that the timing should be…
If you woke up as a clone of a man betrayed and killed, and were in a position to pick up a lightsaber and use it, would you? This guy is. The Force Unleashed II deftly side-steps the ending of the first game in just this manner, meaning you’re now back in (sort of) the…
I have been trying to tell you that Konami’s press conference was wacky. But if my liveblog didn’t convince you….if a photo didn’t convince you… then this video will. I guarantee it. I’m sure the developers of the Konami games you see here were trying well and speak better English than I do Japanese. A…
I’m not sure whether this is an upcoming game or a technical demo, but…actually, it’s Animal Crossing, of course this will eventually show up on the Nintendo 3DS. Interesting, too, that despite appearing on a handheld it’s easily the best-looking Animal Crossing game to date. And is that a character redesign I see? They look…

Square Enix, don’t you ever change. Don’t change your trailers, either. You could blindfold me, punch me in the ear then hold me underwater and I’d still know this was Final Fantasy XIV, just from the soundtrack. Click to view
Don’t call Ice-T a liar, because tonight it’s been confirmed that the rapper and TV cop will be playing the role of Griffin in Epic’s 2011 shooter. And it doesn’t get much more confirmed than that picture right there (and this Tweet right here), Ice-T and his lovely wife Coco snuggling up to the Gears…
Over at Disneyland forum MiceChat, member AcmePunched created a keyblade weapon from Square Enix’s Disney franchise Kingdom Hearts. That’s no big deal. What she did, however, is. AcmePunched took the Keyblade to Disneyland and had an array of characters pose with it until… “A security guard came up to me and asked about the key,”…
Oh boy. If Civilization V screenshots were enough to get you arranging for sick leave and divorce papers, you may not want to watch this trailer. Or, you may want to. Up to you! In addition to showing the nuts and bolts of the game – like menus (I have a fetish for menu shots…
Parasite Eve: The Third Birthday did not start its life out as a PSP title. Oh, no. It began its existence as a Japanese cell phone game. During the late 1990s, Parasite Eve was adapted from a Japanese horror novel into a PlayStation title. A sequel followed in 2000. Then radio silence until 2007 when…
It may be the end of the day in Los Angeles, but our E3 coverage doesn’t care. It just continues, like a machine, and it will not stop until you are dead. Or at least informed! We’ve got plenty more news, impressions, thoughts, trailers and screenshots to come throughout the night, so if you can’t…
First shown off yesterday, and probably the best-looking game from the initial 3DS lineup, here’s Kid Icarus: Uprising’s debut trailer. It looks fine blown up on a monitor, so in 3D, on the 3DS’ smaller screens, it’ll probably look fantastic Click to view
Let’s see, Final Fantasy XI came out in Japan in spring 2002. It’s been over 8 years! But how long did Square Enix intend to support the game? Five years. Since the title is popular, Square Enix continued to support it as Final Fantasy XI entered its sixth, seventh and eighth year. With the upcoming…
The makers of Madworld and Bayonetta turn their attention to Gears of War-style, cover-based shooting. Then they step on the accelerator and wind up with Vanquish, a lightning fast action game created by a man who loves to smoke. Vanquish puts players in a super powered suit built by DARPA, worn by government agent Sam…
Does this picture make sense to you? I can explain it, if you’d like. You are looking at a scene from Konami’s wacky E3 2010 press conference. The two man are game developers who were working here, explaining the new game Never Dead. It’s a third-person shooter, a game about a guy with guns who…
This is the E3 trailer for Gran Turismo 5. Or, as I call it, the “I might get this game just for the Top Gear test track” trailer. Since we’ve seen expensive cars drive around to awful music countless times in a GT trailer, you may as well skip to around the 58-second mark, where…
Gotta give the Gears of War series credit. We’re three games in, and designer Cliff Bleszinski still believes in keeping things fresh. Each successive title in the cover-based third-person shooter has offered its own fresh new take. With Gears of War 2, it was the dynamic cover “meatshield” feature in which players could use enemies…
It’s not getting the attention of some of the louder games at the show, which is a shame, but boy, the closer NBA Jam gets to completion the better it looks. It’ll be out later this Fall for the Nintendo Wii. There are also rumours, hopes and dreams that it will also turn up eventually…
