Yes, The Last Guy, you remember that? The PSN game that used real world overhead maps of Tokyo as players tried to save citizens from alien monsters. Well, the popular PSN game is getting a retail packaged version — on sale today. To mark the occasion, Sony held a food stall inspired demo station in…
Here’s the first footage of Gladiator AD, High Voltage‘s new fighting game for the Wii. Bloody! Let’s just hope the MotionPlus-compatible gameplay is better than their grasp on history in that opening dialogue. More Gladiator A.D. Info
Japanese publisher Enterbrain doesn’t only publish magazines like Famitsu, but also does probing research. Earlier this week, Famitsu polled folks with a “Dragon Quest 9 Pre-Launch Awareness Survey”. It was mostly multiple choice with a few free response questions. Oddly, for the multiple choice question “Do you plan on buying Dragon Quest 9?”, there isn’t…
Never mind that BioShock was a game that told its story through broken furniture and level design. Book publishers Tor think you can wring a good novel out of it. Having already made good game-related money with their Halo series, Tor will later this year be releasing a novel based on BioShock, which will “take…
It’s a common complaint from gamers: there are just too damn many games coming out between October and December to give time to them all. But just how many games are there at Christmas? Research firm EEDAR have crunched the numbers and found out. In these graphs – the colourful kind, of course – you…
While we’re extremely confident this isn’t the new title from Kirby creator Masahiro Sakurai Nintendo announced this February, Sakurai does say it is the first game from his new Nintendo start up, Sora Ltd. Made in Ore lets players design and craft their own WarioWare games with the game’s own on board editor. Sakurai does…
Some people say that the demand from video games has leveled off says Square Enix honcho Yoichi Wada. What to do, what to do. The reason for this, he continues, is that the customer base has been increasing. “I think some people say it’s leveled off,” Wada explains, “because they believe this growth has almost…
With Fahey’s life-long crusade nearing its rapturous conclusion, Activision have announced that Stan Bush‘s "The Touch" will be available as a free download for Guitar Hero: World Tour on May 28. That’s today! While I’d have preferred Lion’s rendition of the 1986 film’s theme, or even NRG’s Instruments of Destruction, I know not to look…
Even Simon Belmont cannot save the Castlevania movie from development hell, it seems. Sources tell website Bloody-Disgusting.com that the movie has had a stake driven through its heart. The movie, apparently, is dead. Hollywood got the big screen game rights back in 2005 with Resident Evil helmer Paul W.S. Anderson attached to write and direct.…
Chrono Trigger is a great game with a great robot. Yes, that’s right, Robo! Knocked out of commission in 1999 and brought back to life in 2300, the existentialist ‘bot faces some tough moral choices in the game — way before moral choices were in vogue. And if that wasn’t enough, Robo will Rick Roll…
It’s not just Japan, North America and Europe that are bonkers for the Nintendo DS. Australia is too, with the local Nintendo outpost announcing today that the console has sold two million units since launch. In doing so, it became the fastest console in the country to ever reach the mark. That figure includes combined…
Singing, drinking, talking, dancing, cosplay and panty flashing. Xbox 360 hostess game Dream C Club is missing something — touching? No, it has that, too. The latest issue of Famitsu announces that Dream C Club girl touching is possible during the game’s date situations. Touching is possible (you can pick the location, too), but it…
Been a while since we heard anything about Sony’s upcoming PS3 & PC MMO “The Agency“. But with E3 rapping at our chamber door, Sony have released a new CG trailer. The “not actual gameplay footage” disclaimer is genuinely appreciated! The lack of any genuine charm or humour in those characters, however, is less so.…
This is it, here it is, Christian Bale’s acting debut: Appearing in a 1983 Pac-Man cereal commercial at the age of 8. It’s shocking. Thanks, ~SinfulKnight~!
Now this, Media Molecule, this is more like it. Taking a break from promoting national holidays and PS3 games with their LittleBigPlanet content, MM will soon be releasing Sackboys based on 2000AD comics. This was teased over the weekend with a Judge Dredd movie poster, but in the intervening days images of several other characters…
More No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle info. The game got an oh-so-brief teaser announce at last year’s Tokyo Game Show. This week’s Famitsu adds a few more details. The game once again stars beam katana assassin Travis Touchdown and Japanese Ukrainian co-hort Sylvia Christel. There’s a new character — a hip-hop killer named Nathan…
While Killzone 2 made most PS3 owners happy, it couldn’t please everyone. Some people, for example, hated the game’s sluggish, “heavy” controls. Never mind the fact these were mostly fixed by adjusting the controller sensitivity in the game’s options menu. That was too hard for some people. So developers Guerilla Games are about to release…
The PS3 isn’t getting a Neon Genesis Evangelion game from Namco Bandai and Cellius just yet — but rather, a live news program. Make that, a live news anchored program by character Misato. The news program runs on software that collects news from real-life news (politics, the economy, sports and, yes, the anime industry). A…
We got a chance to go hands-on with EA Montreal‘s follow up to the original Army of Two a few weeks prior to E3, a chance to strap on the Kevlar vest again. The two private military contractors players controlled in the first are back in Army of Two: The 40th Day, a game that…
What’s the game that got rave reviews and everyone apparently loved that you just couldn’t get into? For me it would be Braid or GTAIV.
