As this year’s PAX convention is just about to start, photos from the Penny Arcade Expo show floor confirm that Duke Nukem Forever—now with more Gearbox Software—will have a strong presence at the show. Publisher 2K Games is promising “something big” at this year’s PAX get-together, which we can only assume is 3D Realms’ long-promised…

Original GoldenEye Dev Has A Slight Issue With Remake

Martin Hollis, who while with Rare was one of the men behind the original GoldenEye on the Nintendo 64, has some kind words to say about Activision, the publisher pushing the remake. Oh, sorry, did I say kind? “I imagine it is a business decision isn’t it?”, HOllis told Official Nintendo Magazine. “This name is…

This Only Works In John Woo Movies

If I learned anything from Unreal Tournament, it’s that two automatic pistols are better than one, and holding them sideways makes them fire faster. It’s two popular handgun fallacies in one! Unreal Tournament and the Unreal series in general have produced some pretty amazing weapons with equally impressive alternate firing modes. Some of my personal…

Airman Defends Military’s Video Game Sales Ban

First off, I am an active duty Air Force member. It seems that this whole thing is being misinterpreted by the community based upon a possible misunderstanding of how the Army and Air Force Exchange Service works. Hopefully I can illuminate the situation. It is a series of retail outlets that serves ONLY military personnel.…

Talk Amongst Yourselves

We’d love for you to talk about video games right here. Notice that the art is different today? The artist for the work we originally chose to feature for the month of September in TAY does not want his work used. Fair enough. We’ll use Peter Paul Rubens’ ”La chasse au tigre, au lion et…

Army Vet Insulted By Military’s Video Game Sales Ban

It’s amazing, even years after getting out of the Army, how much it colors your everyday life. As a former Army Medic, now working as an entertainment journalist covering comic books, video games, movies, and TV, my soldier past comes up far more often than I would have ever expected. The news about Medal of…

Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath Is Back!

Developer Just Add Water is working on a HD remake of Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath. That’s the good news. The bad news, at least for Xbox owners, is that for now it seems to be a PS3 exclusive. It’s a cruel irony that one of the few original Xbox games that was never made compatible with…

Need For Speed Recommends: Sun, Sand and Supercars

In this new video we get a chance to check out another “recommendation” from Need for Speed Hot Pursuit’s Autolog. I can’t remember the last time I anticipated a racing title this much. Can’t wait to take this Need for Speed meets Burnout driver for a ride.

Portal Was A Text Adventure, Left 4 Dead, A NES Shooter

You may think that both Portal and Left 4 Dead are recent games, developed for contemporary game machines. Nope. Both are actually remakes of games from the 1980s! Click to view Or, that’s what these great fake ads would have you believe, which get both the hammy acting and grainy VHS-o-rama effect down perfectly Click…

This Shirt Looks Familiar

Spotted by Kotaku reader Chardyll, his t-shirt isn’t for Rockstar’s Western Red Dead Redemption. Nope! Chardyll complemented the customer in his game shop wearing the shirt. “At first, the height of the counter obstructed the big band logo at the bottom of it, so I complemented him on his Red Dead shirt,” Chardyll says. “He…

Any Skies Of Arcadia Fans In The House?

You should take a look at Pirates of New Horizons. It’s not a new Skies of Arcadia game, but since you probably won’t ever get one of those, this might be as good as it gets! It’s an indie action adventure by Exit Strategy Entertainment, and while the main character looks a little “floaty”, the…

Yakuza PSP Game Getting Kissing

The upcoming Yakuza spin-off for the PSP, Yakuza: New Chapter Black Panther, doesn’t just have bar hostesses. It has bar hostesses that smooch the screen. Pucker up, buttercup. In a mode called “Cabaret Heat”, players can get all kissy face with hostesses that like them by pressing corresponding buttons that appear on screen under the…
