Dream Club (this NSFW clip is all you need to know) debuted on the Xbox 360. According to Japanese magazine leaps, it’s coming to the PS Vita and will no doubt give the touch screen a good work over. [オレ的]
Deus Ex: Human Revolution was supposed to be out Sept. 8 in Japan, but it’s now slated for sometime in Oct. The reason for the delay is that “prohibited images” were found in one place in the game. In its official statement, Square Enix did not clarify what the offending content was. In early August,…
Having given up on Minecraft a long time ago, I’m actually looking forward to the vaunted “Adventure” update, which will finally add a little purpose to the game. Minecraft 1.8, as the Adventure update is more formally known, will add improved graphics, tweaked health systems, improved combat mechanics and, most important of all, stuff to…
The last we saw of Grand Theft Auto IV mod Vice City Rage, it was looking a little…empty. A few months on and the team behind the overhaul of the 1986 2002 classic have made some good progress. Star Tommy Vercetti is now in the game engine and sticking to the ground, meaning the building…
This spring, a cyber attack resulted in a 23 day outage of the PSN and the theft of personal details from over 77 million accounts. Sony is strengthening its online network and stepping up its security.

Those who have been among the first to download zombie game Dead Island from Steam have been finding things a little odd. A number of features/cheats like no-clipping, which normally aren’t available automatically in games, are just a button press away. And there may be a very good, very funny reason for this. People digging…
And if you’re a kid, you shouldn’t be reading this. You should be outside, getting some exercise. Making friends. Skipping rope Still with me? Awesome. So, Sony has a new model of the PSP for Europe that makes a lot of sense: it’s €99/£89, and at that price, it’s something you could pick up on…
Japan’s population is graying. The population is shrinking. Until the country can either open up immigration or mass produce robot citizens, there’s only one thing left to do: Screw. One of the culprits always blamed for the country’s low birth rate is corporate Japan. Namco Bandai is looking to change that with generous bonuses. Namco…
If you think the kind of people who say “games were better in the good old days” are bad, they’re even worse when they’re talking about PC games. Except, on rare occasions like this, they actually make a decent gag out of it. This clip blends the original Deus Ex, which is eleven years old,…
Halo 4 is the first title in a new trilogy of Halo games. The previous three titles were developed by Bungie, but the next three are being made in-house by Microsoft’s own Halo studio. Halo 4 won’t be out until late 2012, and today, one of the game’s creative directors, Ryan Payton, is not only…
Dragon Quest IX was the deal of the century. It had something like seventy hours of single player gameplay, checking off two things that Japanese gamers love: meaty RPGs and playing solo. DQX is a different beast. An official Square Enix FAQ regarding the game noted that while DQX can be played alone, it can…
Publishers Codemasters and graphics card manufacturer AMD have been running a promotion lately whereby purchasers of a card got a free copy of excellent racer Dirt 3. That offer has now been, uh, slightly expanded. It seems Codemasters had the reserved download codes for the promo – estimated at around 3 million copies of the…
In the past decade, retro game bars have popped up across Japan. Part of the appeal is that these water holes have game consoles you can play while getting shitfaced. There are other places where you can game with maids or talk with game voice actors who serve you alcohol. But what about a place…
Here’s a new trailer for the upcoming Ni No Kuni for the PS3. The more I see of this game, the more I clench my fists, grind my teeth and try and will it into already being out. And in English. While the DS version was released last year in Japan, it’s the sexy PS3…
On November 2, the same day the game is released, Japan will be getting this fancy, limited edition DualShock 3 bearing the colours and livery of upcoming action game Uncharted 3 Featuring a two-tone colour scheme with khaki up top and brown down below, the pad also comes with a “map” motif across the surface.…
Artist Michael Myers was brought in by t-shirt team High Score Society to design a range of gear in which modern video game heroes were rendered in a stylised 16-bit-ish form. The results? Wonderful. He did five designs in all, one each for BioShock, Gears of War, Killzone, Dead Space and Halo. You can check…
Uwe Boll,who’s not as bad as you think, is making a new video game movie, Zombie Massacre Zombie Massacre is a 1998 Amiga title also known as Gloom 4. If you think Gloom sounds like “Doom”, that’s no accident. It was a Doom clone. Boll won’t be helming the project, but producing. Marco Ristori and…
In recent years publishers like Ubisoft, 2K and EA have done a great job pissing off paying customers with systems aimed at preventing piracy. Which, uh, is counter-productive! Especially when PC pirates are able to easily circumvent said measures. So it’s great seeing Christofer Sundberg, from Just Cause developers Avalanche, speak a little common sense.…
The Rocket Slime spin-off was an enjoyable Nintendo DS outing. Its 3DS sequel aims to be the same, but for the 3DS. The second entry in the Dragon Quest Heroes was localized as Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime back in 2006 when it was released in North America. The third entry, which I guess could…
The way it’s looking there’ll never be a Halo movie. Ah well! So long as regular humans keep making killer props like this, we’re free to imagine our own. Which is always for the best, because then, they never end up sucking. This helmet was submitted to MAKE magazine by creator Tsabo Tsaboc over the…
