In the first Prototype game, protagonist Alex Mercer was the good guy. In the second game, he’s the bad guy. In this latest trailer, the game’s developers waxed about Mercer and the decision to make him the enemy. The thrust in the sequel is that players are James Heller, who was infected by the “Blacklight”…
That is, according to “leaked” press release on a Czech website. The inevitable sequels to Mario and Sonic’s last Olympic outing takes the two to the London Olympics via the Wii and the 3DS. Previous Mario and Sonic outings took them to the Beijing and Vancouver Olympics. Apparently, new sports such as soccer and (horseback?)…
Surely you’ve heard of Superbrothers Sword & Sworcery EP by now. We’ve talked about this exquisite graphical adventure for many moons. But as of right now, thankfully, the point and touch adventure experience, rich in wondrous sights and sounds, is available for a wider audience. Already released on the iPad, Sword & Sworcery EP has…
Like previous port No More Heroes: Heroes’ Paradise, upcoming adults-only Move-supported title No More Heroes: Red Zone isn’t being developed by NMH creators Grasshopper Manufacture. Instead, it’s being developed by outside studio AQ Interactive. Load time concerns start…now! [via Red Zone Official Site]
And so the cycle starts anew. Sonic Generations lets players play as a classic, sidescrolling Genesis Sonic or as modern, control-him-from-behind-in-3D Sonic. As Kotaku previously pointed out, there are no special powers and no playable friends. This latest gameplay trailer is a few minutes longer than the debut trailer, so that’s a few added minutes…
Colour can be a strange and wonderful thing. Sometimes, all it’s used for is to fill in the lines, or make something appear more “real”, or more interesting. Yet other times it can be as powerful a force in our identification of a game as any character or soundtrack. So we got to thinking: can…
A Reddit user by the name of vism did, so they emailed Valve boss Gabe Newell. And actually got a response, if not from the big man himself. The man in question, who is displayed during the opening credits of Valve games (and can be seen in the clip above), sadly remains a mystery, but…
Folks are saying that upcoming survival horror game Silent Hill: Downpour kinda looks like Xbox 360 thriller Alan Wake. Much of the comparisons seem to steam from screenshots depicting heavily wooden environments – kinda like in Alan Wake! “I think it’s a bit odd for anyone who hasn’t even seen the game to be drawing…
There’s currently a battle going on over on the site of the Humble Indie Bundle, where two indies who have “made it big” – Minecraft creator Notch and Garry’s Mod creator Garry Newman – are jostling to see who can donate the most money. Accuse them of showboating if you will, but since proceeds from…
It sucks. Well, unless you’re really, really, really effing good. And even then… In this clip, Japan-based YouTube user dabu0205 is in some arcade, where his opponent is none other than Daigo Umehara (note the back of his head), perhaps best known for this. He’s a fighting game superstar. Umehara is Street Fighter character Yun,…
Novint, the folks behind that most curious Falcon peripheral, are back again with yet more hardware curios. This time, it’s the ability to turn your arm into a motion-controlled rumble pack. It’s latest device is called Xio, and Novint says it adds the sense of “touch” to gaming. “Unlike current motion control technologies out there,…
When a game is set in space, invariably it’s set there so you can fly a spaceship and shoot at things. Space Engine does away with all that nonsense, leaving you with just…space. Billed as a “free universe simulator”, whether you call it a game or not depends on how much you like exploring (and…
Duke Nukem Forever, the game that was in development for forever, was first revealed in 1997. This year it’s finally being released by another studio, Gearbox Software, which began working on the game in 2009. “I have estimated that 3D Realms invested between 3,500 and 4,500 man-months of effort into the game, a lot of…
Japan’s 5pb., known for Xbox 360 games like Steins; Gate and crappy Miku Hatsune concerts, is being absorbed into its affiliate company. Oh, 5pb. also has crappy shmup ports. No word if the 5pb. brand will survive. [via ソーシャルゲーム情報]
We got our first look at gorgeous indie…racer (?) Proun last year, but the game’s developer, Joost van Dongen (one of the devs behind De Blob and Swords & Soldiers), has just released a second trailer. And it’s even better. The game’s currently shaping up for a Spring release on the PC. If you want,…
It’s sadly not an official one, but for a custom piece, it’s not so bad! Sure, the face could do with some work (even if it is based on the original pixel art design of LeChuck and not his proper artwork), but the devil (or zombie ghost in this case) is in the details. Get…
Back before Sega game designer Toshihiro Nagoshi turned golden brown, he was just another kid from rural Japan, moving to Tokyo, trying to make it big. Originally, Nagoshi wanted to make films. “I graduated with a film degree,” Nagoshi tells website ZakZak, “but at that time the Japanese film industry was in a shambles and…
According to the bill of sale, this Game Boy was owned by Michael Jackson. He used it to court Macaulay Culkin. Culkin even set Tetris records on it. So $75 to call it your own is quite a steal! Or, it would were that actually the story behind this golden Game Boy, but it’s not.…
The quote “Good artists borrow, great artists steal” is often attributed to Pablo Picasso. There doesn’t seem to be solid evidence that he actually said it, but the quote is often misinterpreted anyway. It’s not that stealing is okay, but rather, stealing implies taking something and making it your own. What’s more, not every artist…
Can you log onto the PlayStation Network via your PS3 console at the moment? We can’t, and we’re getting reports plenty of other people can’t either. Attempts to log into the PSN on consoles are being met with the error message 80710A06. While American users began reporting the issue a few hours ago, I’ve since…
