While Microsoft has yet to release pricing details for the Kinect motion control camera, retailers are having no such hesitation, Amazon now joining GameStop in charging $149 for the device. This is still not official confirmation, of course, as it’s only a pre-order and pre-order prices can change, but when two of the biggest gaming…
Swords and castles have been done to death in RPGs. So have spaceships. But tights, wigs, tricorn hats and muskets? That’s a bit fresher, especially given the slight whiff of Dickens emanating from those dim, cobblestone streets.
Yeah, we know. Day two wasn’t as big as day one. It never is! Just because it wasn’t as big, though, doesn’t mean it wasn’t big We still saw a ton of games. Wrote about a ton of games. And posted a ton of screenshots, photos and trailers from a lot of the games we…
Some people thought this would be the week Nintendo unveiled the successor to the Wii. It wasn’t. And while that day will inevitably come some day in the future, it doesn’t look like it’ll be any time soon. “I do not think that there is an immediate need to replace the Wii console”, Nintendo President…
Just because Marcus Fenix has a neck of steel doesn’t mean he has a heart of steel. He is a man, and men have feelings. Which he may indulge from time to time, when he’s not busy chainsawing things.
Sounds like a covert pitch for Nintengirls to us
It’s a feature that wasn’t disclosed during the public unveiling of the Nintendo 3DS, but Japanese business newspaper Nikkei is reporting that the new handheld will allow users to install games on its onboard storage. According to the paper’s report, “multiple games” can be installed off their original cart, meaning users could stock up on…
If Spec Ops: The Line was a movie instead of a game, and had released this trailer in 1994 instead of 2010, with all that slo-mo and Alice in Chains, it would be just about the most awesome thing ever Since it’s not, though, we have to take it for what it is: a shooter…
In an interview with Japan’s Nikkei, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata has hinted that the company’s next home console may, like the freshly-unveiled 3DS, go 3D. “If you display a 3D image, the image quality becomes extremely bad, so we’d probably do it with the next system”, he said. “We’re thinking that the timing should be…
If you woke up as a clone of a man betrayed and killed, and were in a position to pick up a lightsaber and use it, would you? This guy is. The Force Unleashed II deftly side-steps the ending of the first game in just this manner, meaning you’re now back in (sort of) the…
I have been trying to tell you that Konami’s press conference was wacky. But if my liveblog didn’t convince you….if a photo didn’t convince you… then this video will. I guarantee it. I’m sure the developers of the Konami games you see here were trying well and speak better English than I do Japanese. A…
I’m not sure whether this is an upcoming game or a technical demo, but…actually, it’s Animal Crossing, of course this will eventually show up on the Nintendo 3DS. Interesting, too, that despite appearing on a handheld it’s easily the best-looking Animal Crossing game to date. And is that a character redesign I see? They look…

Square Enix, don’t you ever change. Don’t change your trailers, either. You could blindfold me, punch me in the ear then hold me underwater and I’d still know this was Final Fantasy XIV, just from the soundtrack. Click to view
Don’t call Ice-T a liar, because tonight it’s been confirmed that the rapper and TV cop will be playing the role of Griffin in Epic’s 2011 shooter. And it doesn’t get much more confirmed than that picture right there (and this Tweet right here), Ice-T and his lovely wife Coco snuggling up to the Gears…
Over at Disneyland forum MiceChat, member AcmePunched created a keyblade weapon from Square Enix’s Disney franchise Kingdom Hearts. That’s no big deal. What she did, however, is. AcmePunched took the Keyblade to Disneyland and had an array of characters pose with it until… “A security guard came up to me and asked about the key,”…
Oh boy. If Civilization V screenshots were enough to get you arranging for sick leave and divorce papers, you may not want to watch this trailer. Or, you may want to. Up to you! In addition to showing the nuts and bolts of the game – like menus (I have a fetish for menu shots…
Parasite Eve: The Third Birthday did not start its life out as a PSP title. Oh, no. It began its existence as a Japanese cell phone game. During the late 1990s, Parasite Eve was adapted from a Japanese horror novel into a PlayStation title. A sequel followed in 2000. Then radio silence until 2007 when…
It may be the end of the day in Los Angeles, but our E3 coverage doesn’t care. It just continues, like a machine, and it will not stop until you are dead. Or at least informed! We’ve got plenty more news, impressions, thoughts, trailers and screenshots to come throughout the night, so if you can’t…
First shown off yesterday, and probably the best-looking game from the initial 3DS lineup, here’s Kid Icarus: Uprising’s debut trailer. It looks fine blown up on a monitor, so in 3D, on the 3DS’ smaller screens, it’ll probably look fantastic Click to view
