That long rumored Twisted Metal revival from Eat Sleep Play is real and Sony had the multiplayer portion of the game playable at its E3 booth, a vehicular combat game that might offend your sensibilities, but not for its gameplay. While playing Twisted Metal—that’s the final and straightforward title of the new PS3 game—I ran…
Nintendo’s E3 press conference came and went without a single mention of the Pikmin game we’d been promised. So where is it? Nintendo tells us it’s coming, just…not today. Speaking at an informal round-table discussion this afternoon, Nintendo designer Shigeru Miyamoto said that while the game is still in development, the company chose not to…
A window blows open, and shards of glass go flying. Sand pours into the room. This isn’t just another third person shooter, this is Spec-Ops: The Line. Set in Dubai, the game follows a squad on a rescue mission. Te eyes-on demo at this year’s E3 gaming expo provided a look at what to expect…
We’re currently sitting in on Nintendo’s E3 briefing, an informal little get-together that’s becoming quite the E3 tradition. Last year’s brought us a Zelda Wii reveal; what will 2010’s bring? In attendance is legendary designer Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of series such as Mario & Zelda, and 3DS director Hideki Konno, who during the session…
This one’s a little bit PilotWings, a little bit Wii Sports Resort. But don’t worry. It’s mostly PilotWings. The classic Nintendo flight series makes a comeback on the 3DS with PilotWings resort, which has you flying around Wii Sports Resort’s Wahu Island in not just a plane, but stuff like hang gliders and jet packs…
It wouldn’t be a piece of Nintendo hardware without a Mario Kart game now, would it? While these are from a “concept demo”, and not an actual title, it’s Mario Kart. It’ll turn up on the system sooner or later.
The PlayStation Move has its own answer to the Zapper, the PlayStation Move Shooting Accessory. It’s going to be perfect for games like Time Crisis on the PlayStation 3. The new accessory is sitting pretty in Sony’s booth at E3, one of the first accessories for the Move to take advantage of its expansion port…
This is Metroid: Other M’s E3 trailer, and if Team Ninja wanted to remind us of dark 80s sci-fi, they’re going about it the right way. Not with the clean, bright visuals, but with that synth track! So heavy. So dirty. Like Samus is going to turn a corner somewhere in the game and find…
How many times did you watch that amazing Portal 2 trailer? Enough to catch a glimpse of an old friend? Take a look behind the busted supports on the right side of the screen. I say “friend” because while you do form a bit of an attachment to the Companion Cube during the game, the…
Nintendo’s new 3DS looks nice, but how does it measure up when we…measure it up? DIMENSIONS (when closed) 5.3 inches x 2.9 inches x 0.8 inches WEIGHT 8 ounces TOP SCREEN 3.52 inch widescreen display / 800×240 resolution (400 pixels for each eye during 3D gameplay) BOTTOM SCREEN 3.02 inch touch-screen display / 320×240 resolution…
In this Medal of Honor trailer, we meet some of the characters you’ll be playing as and playing with during the game’s singleplayer campaign. They all like to whisper, and they all like to hurt people. Click to view
The 3DS isn’t all about 3D graphics. Sometimes, you just need something that looks pretty on the new, improved hardware. Like Paper Mario. While we’re sure there’ll be 3D tricks involved along the way, the first screens of Paper Mario seem to suggest it’s simply a great opportunity to take one of the best-looking series…
The Nintendo 3DS, just revealed by Nintendo, looks like it’s already home to an enviable, rich library. But beyond a new Kid Icarus, a new Pilotwings and a new Nintendogs, what can 3DS owners look forward to? There’s more than just Nintendo content, which ranges from remakes like Star Fox 64, familiar properties like Animal…
The Wii Vitality Sensor, unveiled by Nintendo president Satoru Iwata a year ago is a no-show at E3 2010, despite signals iit would be here. A Nintendo spokesperson told Kotaku today that the peripheral wasn’t right for the show. The Vitality Sensor is a device that will read a player’s pulse and other biometrics for…
It doesn’t take much to remind me why I, why so many people, loved the original Portal. The game is cheeky, it’s fun, it’s smart. Portal 2 is all of that, with a friend. Standing in the E3 offices of Valve earlier today I had a chance to take Portal 2’s coop mode for a…
Portal was such a masterful, smashing success because it was short, sweet and… a surprise. Even Valve didn’t expect the puzzle game with personality to become such an overwhelming, cultural phenomenon. And it scares Valve a little bit that they’re not trying to recapture that success without two of those elements: Portal 2 when it…
The news today that a new version of Nintendo 64 classic GoldenEye 007 was met with cheers at today’s Nintendo E3 press conference. I played the game. It’s good but it’s not the remake you may have thought it was. The James Bond game is being developed by Eurocom and Activision, not Rare and Nintendo,…
The first Portal was a fun little puzzle game. It looks like Valve is taking the sequel a lot more seriously. Click to view Click to view
Nintendo’s last 3D console had a Star Fox game on it. It’s nice to see the company keeping up tradition. Sorry, traditions. The second being that, like with the DS, the 3DS will launch with a re-release of an old Nintendo 64 game, in this case Star Fox 64.
