Yep, Bulletstorm Developers Are Making that New Gears of War
Yesterday, I speculated that the next Gears of War, the one semi-revealed by the folks at Game Informer magazine, will be developed by the talented crew at People Can Fly who made the very good early 2011 first-person shooter Bulletstorm. I even teased People Can Fly creative director Adrian Chmielarz about it over Twitter. He…

The Castlevania: Lord of Shadow: Mirror of Fate Teaser Is a Bloody Mess

Lord of the Rings Meets DOTA in This Debut Guardians Trailer
Wondering what a DOTA-style Lord of the Rings game would look? Keep wondering, because this cinematic trailer for Guardians of Middle-Earth is naught but cinematics. They’re pretty, though. And I can’t say I can ever remember seeing Gollum try to rip off Gandalf’s beard before. In case you missed it earlier, here’s our announcement coverage…

There’s a New Star Wars Game, and it’s Called 1313
A brand new Star Wars video game has been officially revealed tonight. It’s called Star Wars: 1313 While little has been actually disclosed about the project, Lucasarts describes it as a “third person cinematic action adventure game”, while the title is named for “Level 1313, a ruthless criminal underground deep below the surface of the…

Here’s Dishonored’s Swashbuckling New Trailer
I’m not normally one for excitement over games, but whenever I see the world artist Viktor Antonov (Half-Life 2) has helped create for this game, I can’t help it. Especially since I’m a sucker for a good sea shanty. Bethesda and Arkane’s shooter will be out on PC, 360 and PS3 on October 9.

What a Real Fallout Town Would Look Like
The style of the Fallout universe is dictated by two things: the fact it’s an apocalyptic wasteland and the way it pays destructive homage to 1950s Americana. Fallout fans might want to take a look at this brilliant gallery, then, because it shows what an actual 1950s American town would have looked like if it…

I’ve Been Playing the Bastard Son of Minecraft and Halo
StarForge is quite the thing. Fire it up and you think it’s a shooter. Run around and you find there’s nothing to shoot. Go to switch weapons and…oh. Oh See, StarForge isn’t really a shooter. It’s a shooting sandbox. You’re dropped in a randomly-generated world with not just a gun, but an invisible space shovel…

The Correct Answer Was ‘Pastrami Sandwich’
Good God, I love pastrami sandwiches. They are, all things considered, my favorite kind of sandwich—I like pastrami sandwiches even better than BLTs with avocado, which is saying something. E3 madness has precluded our usual link-list for tonight’s open thread, so instead I put a question to you: What kind of sandwich is best? Do…

DOTA 2 Will be Free, But You Can Buy Hats
It’s been sort of known for a while now, but today Valve came out and specifically stated that DOTA 2 will be free-to-play. And just like Team Fortress 2 these days, the company will make its money back not from game sales, but from hats. There’ll be a DOTA 2 Store available at launch (actually,…

E3 2012 is on the way, and Los Angeles is turning into a veritable wonderland of gaming marketing.

Looks Like the Next Big Star Wars Game Stars Boba Fett
The same GameTrailers spill that leaked the announcement of a Castlevania Lords of Shadow sequel also mentions a new Star Wars game called 1313 As we expected when a site was trademarked by Lucasarts, 1313 strongly suggests this is a Boba Fett game, since Boba’s use of the CT-1313 is about the only significant time…

Turns Out Max Payne is a Decent Piano Player. Who Knew?
One of my favorite things about Remedy’s first two Max Payne games was their winking, self-aware style. That vibe was perhaps best encapsulated by the scene in which Max has a drug hallucination and realizes that he’s the protagonist of a video game. Rockstar’s take on the character is much more gritty and dark, and…

Castlevania Lords of Shadow Gets a Sequel
Konami’s Castlevania reboot (of sorts), Lords of Shadow, will be getting the sequel treatment, a slip-up on GameTrailers has revealed. An episode summary for tonight’s show, which will also feature the debut of stuff we already knew about (like a new Star Wars game), mentions Lords of Shadow 2 as one of the titles getting…

The Kotaku Mixtape Vol. 10 – Westerns
Everybody loves cowboys. They’re as American as apple pie, they’re hard boiled gunslingers and most importantly they have some of the best theme songs of any hero you’ll meet, hands down. Today on the Kotaku Mixtape, we’re looking at the best music to appear in Wild West video games. From that wackyness of Zan: The…
