To: Crecente From: Bashcraft RE: A Taste of Game Development Well, in Asia, at least… And what’s this about not staring directly at the eclipse? Like, I need special goggles? Can I make them? Why can’t I look directly at an eclipse? What if I do that on accident? What you missed last night Left…
What differentiates The Beatles: Rock Band from Rock Band games that have come before it? Harmonix and MTV Games are releasing more than an artist track pack, with this standalone Rock Band akin more to a playable band biography. The Beatles: Rock Band also adds to the series’ established gameplay by letting up to three…
More teasing from the master of tease Hideo Kojima. The Metal Gear Solid creator and his staff (including a popular female assistant!) read through the Peace Walker script. The clips are short and taken out of context, and it’s hard to figure out what the heck is going on plot-wise. What’s more, any parts that…
You poor thing. You didn’t watch the videos, did you?

With the Wii Remote, Nintendo has motion controls. With Natal, Microsoft has it. With its new wand controller, Sony once again has it, too. Sony is not stranger to motion controllers. The EyeToy and the SIXAXIS both have offered players interactive motion controlled Sony experiences. With increased competition, Sony is trying to remain competitive with…
According to The Wall Street Journal, Konami and the Cartoon Network will later this week take time out of their busy Comic-Con schedules to announce a new game based on Metalocalypse. The Adult Swim series, which stars five very stupid, very metal band members, isn’t the most obvious franchise to be turned into a game,…
The official website for Final Fantasy XIII has a neat making-of feature giving a glimpse at how sound was done for the game. In the clip, a foley artist does sound for a PSICOM troop. The sound for each was done individually, and this is not the final sound cut for this scene. This is…
Field research time! Website Gpara wandered up and down train carriages on Tokyo’s Yamanote Line, looking for players using R4 piracy devices. Since R4 piracy devices use cartridges with SD Card slots, it was possible Gpara deployed on trains last week — and did profiles of the DS players it spied on the train. Those…
While Midway have been consigned to the dustbin of history, in the early 1990’s, they were gods. Largely because of two games: NBA Jam & Mortal Kombat. Two games that, for all their success, never came together. But they could have! Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon has today revealed some artwork for a proposed crossover…
The title explains it all, and so does this clip. So, yeah, watch man hands, PSPGo, LBP PSP.
A few weeks back, toy-makers NECA announced a line of BioShock figures, which we didn’t post because without pics, the announcement meant nothing. Now that there’s pics, though, well, that’s another story! Due to be officially unveiled at Comic-Con, there’s currently a few figures scheduled: a Big Sister, a Little Sister, a Splicer and a…
Skype is a wonder. It’s allows users to connect via the internet phone for free. The mass majority of people in Japan use the computer for Skype, sure. Let’s see what numero two choice is. Japan’s RealWorld RealResearch polled slightly over one thousand of its members: 63.5 percent were male, 8.1 percent were teenagers, 17.5…
Left 4 Dead 2 isn’t exactly like Left 4 Dead 1. It’s set during the day, for starters. Oh, and it has new zombies. And new items to help you kill those zombies. One of the new zombies is the “Spitter”, who sits back and lobs spit at you. This spit inflicts damage around the…
Even before the latest Pocket Monsters movie opened in Japan, it was already a hit — so much so that the anime has earned a place in the Guinness Book. Pokémon: Arceus To The Conquering of Space-Time is the world record holder for the animated motion picture with the most advance ticket sales. Before it…
Microsoft’s motion control platform doesn’t look like it’s going to find its way into future Gears of War games — at least according to the game’s designer, Cliff Bleszinski. On Major Nelson’s podcast, the game designer explained, “If there’s any future Gears products [coughs elaborately], it’s not the kind of thing you tag onto a…
Ever since Bungie and Microsoft parted ways, Microsoft have been gearing up to produce more Halo games internally. Could those efforts now have been given a name? Superannuation points us towards a trademark Microsoft have filed for use with “”computer programs, namely, game software for use on computers and video”. It’s called “343 Industries“. So…
The best-selling Wii games of 2009 may be from the farthest recesses of history, but the PS3 and 360’s respective charts aren’t as fond of the past. That doesn’t make them any less depressing, however. While by this time last year we’d already seen mega-hits like Grand Theft Auto IV and Metal Gear Solid 4,…
