In the interest of establishing a mood and not having it ruined by a Trophy alert, the developers of 2010 PlayStation 3 game Heavy Rain have been authorized by Sony to do something new. Heavy Rain will have Trophies. But you won’t be told that you earned them until the breaks between the game’s chapters.…

To: Crecente From: Ashcraft RE: What Elevators Teach Us And horribly jet lagged. Very very jet lagged. Long flight, cranky baby. But glad to be back in Texas! So far, we went to the supermarket and looked at all the different kinds of cereal. It’s nice to be in a place that considers cereal a…
Square Enix is the latest company to launch its own virtual monetary denomination, the Square Enix Crysta. One Crysta is the equivalent to one Japanese yen, and with the yen stronger than the U.S. dollar, that means the Square Enix Crysta is more valuable than Uncle Sam’s greenbacks. The Crysta can be purchased in six…
The year may not be over, but that doesn’t mean it’s too early for Best of 2009 lists. Amazon Japan has crunched data and has the ten best selling video game titles this year. 10. DISSIDIA FINAL FANTASY 9. Ryu Ga Gotoku 3 8. Resident Evil 5 7. Wii Fit Plus (software only) 6. Wii…
No, I’d Say Mrs. Woods Now Owns Them Comment by: RawrSpoon Nominated by: Ackers I heard he cheated with his wife with NINE women. Now this really asks the question. Did he play *puts on glasses* the back nine holes? YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH… No Non-Gamers Allowed Comment by: Tevor_the_Third Nominated by: 天 I can understand the notion…

After that initial shipment, another 150,000 copies will be shipped for launch, followed by another 150,000 for the following weekend. A grand total of 1.3 million will be available for purchase during…
It’s become a pattern: Game is released on the Xbox 360. Time passes and said game is then released on the PS3 with extra content and extra characters. Star Ocean 4 is no exception. Star Ocean The Last Hope, it has been previously announced, is truly international. Along with both English and Japanese, the game…
A spoiler is a spoiler. Doesn’t matter if it’s big or small. Or if you are a Hollywood actor. A spoiler is a spoiler. And if you haven’t played through MW 2 yet, this is a spoiler for you, too. While Michelle Rodriguez isn’t appearing in Avatar, she’s doing other things — playing video games!…
This actually could be a first. Comic erotic game W.L.O. Sekai Renai Kikou (World Love Organization) was released on personal computers this past March by Japanese developer Akabei Soft2. An Xbox 360 port has been announced. On breasts. The text reads: “Celebrate! Xbox 360 Port Decided!!” Akakei Soft2 announcing game on character’s breasts? Talk about…
Zii? Like “Wii” with a “Z”? Japan’s Nintendo Co., Ltd. filed a trademark on October 30, 2009 for “Zii”. The trademark recently popped up on the Japanese trademark database. The filing, which covers video games and electronic devices, contains little information. Wonder what it could be. Update: Looks like Nintendo is attempting to block the…
Resonance of Fate, from developer tri-Ace, is a role-playing-game set in a future in which climate changes have forced humans to build an enormous air purifier. The game features a time-based battle attack system. Have a look at these new screens of 70-year-old “Enquirer of Knowledge” Antorion, gothy Veronique, fashionista Garigerrnon and the curvy Barbarella.…
From the looks of it, GOD EATER is Namco’s take on Capcom’s Monster Hunter. A game that looks to borrow so heavily from the MH franchise really needs to create its own identity as a PSP title. What better way to do that than via customized bullets and customized clothes. The “Bullet Edit” feature allows…
Final Fantasy XIII Will be out soon in Japan — and to whip everyone into a frenzy, Square Enix is running ads. Ads like this. It features some new gameplay battle footage if you are into that kind of thing. If not, it still features that. New Final Fantasy XIII “Battle” HD TV Spot –…
Now, I’m no scientist. Or console engineer. I don’t know how this is happening. All I know is, there are increasing numbers of people playing Modern Warfare 2 on 360 saying the game’s ammo counters are all busted up. Essentially, we’re hearing that people are joining MP matches, then finding that there are no ammo…
Not going to talk about the top titles this week. Instead, I’m going to talk about a series that isn’t even in the charts, a series that even 2-3 years ago would have been challenging for top Christmas honours. I’m talking about Konami’s Pro Evolution Soccer 2010. There once was a time that Britain’s best-selling…
Britain’s Ashley Browning is the man to thank for this series of minimalist, zoomed-in “portraits” of some of video gaming’s most recognisable faces. Some of them, you’ll just be looking at, but others, you can buy from Ashley’s online store, then wear them on your chest. [infinitecontinues, via Etsi]
Adweek today announced what they believe, as advertising experts, to be the best commercials of the past decade. And amongst the finalists were two video game spots. Those ads – which made the final cut of 27 finalists – were “Mountain”, for the PS2 (by TBWA in London), and “Diorama”, for Halo 3 (by T.A.G.…
Team Fortress 2’s “WAR” update continues, with today’s addition to the game being a couple of new in-game items for the Demoman. They’re part of the “Close Combat Kit”, which arms the Demoman with a sword and shield. The sword – “The Eyelander” – is a guaranteed decapitation if you score a kill, however equipping…
SingStar is the ugly step-sister of the music genre. It’s only loved in one territory, it’s one-dimensional, its soundtrack has limited appeal. But there’s one area Sony’s karaoke series is trumping the competition. And that’s in its digital shopfront. While Rock Band and Guitar Hero are stuck with antiquated stores, accessible only via crude in-game…
