Barely awake from QuakeCon, it’s TAY! Comment about video games, please. Confused about commenting on Kotaku? Read our FAQ.
To: Crecente From: Luke Re: QuakeCon: It’s On So, the wedding draws near. Exciting. But the lady friend is on the exercise regime from hell, and guess who’s being dragged along for the ride? Yesterday, it was up early so we could walk up a mountain. Fortunately, it’s literally right behind my house. Unfortunately, it…
America, your long wait for a white DSi may soon be over. Along with your equally long, perhaps slightly less agonising wait for a pink DSi. According to this Toys ‘R’ Us database listing, both colour schemes – which are already available in Japan – will be out…well, who knows, since there’s no date on…
Harmonix offered us a preview of The Beatles: Rock Band, giving us a chance to see what separates the Fab Four’s entry from previous Rock Band titles. Most notable among them are the game’s story mode, prizes and “Beatle Beats.” As Harmonix and MTV Games have said from the beginning, The Beatles: Rock Band will…
Featuring disintegration guns that don’t just evaporate Nazis, but their hats too, the latest iteration of Wolfenstein hits stores next week. This launch trailer was shown off yesterday during QuakeCon’s epic keynote, covered by our very own Stephen Totilo live. The trailer may have been slightly eclipsed by the first in-depth look at Rage, but…
With the PSPgo championing itself as a digital download-only device, it’s going to run into stiff competition from Apple’s cheap-as-chips App Store. Or, it will if its games aren’t priced to compete with those $0.99 iPhone apps. So it’d be a smart move by Sony to price many games at, well, a similar point. Which…
The sad, slow decline of gaming print media continues, with the announcement overnight that Future Publishing’s PSW (PlayStation World Magazine) is no more. One of Future’s three PlayStation-focused publications (along with the Official PlayStation Magazine and PSM3), PSW’s first issue went on sale in the UK all the way back in 2000, and with the…
The Wii has thus far been a haven for developers with last-gen experience lacking the money to make the jump to 360 or PS3. Today’s announcement of Rugby League 3 for the platform is no different. This will be the third game in the “Rugby League” series, which have all been developed by New Zealand…
Next Wednesday, Capcom will be giving Xbox 360 owners a taste of Lost Planet 2’s fist-bumping, bug-hunting co-operative mode by releasing a demo. The co-op demo will let you take on the “salamander” boss, give you access to a variety of weapons and suits, then let you climb inside the thing’s guts and blow it…
As seen on Siliconera.
Valve, Valve’s boss Gabe Newell and the PlayStation 3 have a history. A history of not getting along. And it doesn’t look like that’s about to change any time soon. Here’s a little chit-chat the Valve head had with host Geoff Keighley on tonight’s episode of GTTV: Keighley: Are you guys working on PlayStation 3…
1UP have been running a big Uncharted 2 special all week long, and as part of that have just uploaded this all-gameplay clip showing Nathan engaging in a spot of singleplayer gunplay. Oh, and Elena’s in it, too, if that helps. Exclusive Uncharted 2 Single-Player Gameplay Footage Now Live [1UP]
During tonight’s episode of GameTrailers TV, Valve have shown for the first time footage of one of Left 4 Dead 2’s hitherto unseen campaigns: The Fairgrounds. Bright lights, screaming, rides…it’s everything you expect from zombie killing at an amusement park. Hopefully there’s some dodgem cars and a ball pit in there somewhere as well. To…
Yoko Ono. Were Ron Burgundy to translate the name, he would say it meant “destroyer of worlds.” So it was to be expected that the wife of John Lennon would give the team at Harmonix a hard time. An interview with some of the developers working on The Beatles: Rock Band over at Wired reveals…
In the turn-based strategy genre, two series (for me, anyways) reign supreme: Advance Wars, and Panzer General. So it’s with great delight that I see today that Ubisoft will be bringing the latter back, this time on Xbox Live Arcade. Delight quickly turns to concern, however, when you see what they’re doing with it. See,…
ARMA II only just came out! And as you’d expect from such an ambitious game, is still pretty broken! Neither of which seems to matter, since an expansion for the game has already been announced. Called Operation Arrowhead, it’s set three years after the events depicted in ARMA II and takes place in an all-new…
Hey, it’s Friday, do you know — Wait, a sec. It’s not Friday. It’s Thursday. But this week is Obon in Japan. We’ve got to go visit graves and stuff. Still before that, let’s talk. You and me. And that guy over there. And that girl sitting next to him. Here’s how it works: We…
It’s a common complaint: there are too many damn games set in the Second World War. But did you know just how many? This “casual census” performed by 1UP has the depressing results. This graph here tallies the number of games released since 1980 set during six of the biggest conflicts (at least for Westerners)…
Risen Banned In Australia, “Sexual Activity And Drug Use” Cited Comment by: mcderek3000 Nominated by: Dlord I fully support the decision made by the Australian classification board. As an adult gamer, I have often found my life controlled by the media I watch. Watching Gandalf smoke pipeweed in the Lord of the Rings turned me…
To close out a week of update announcements (and updates!), Valve had one final surprise in store for Team Fortress 2 players tonight, offering the first 11,111 players to reach this hidden site a shiny new medal. Being limited, the offer is of course already done for, all 11,111 medals claimed within a matter of…
