Well, it’s got a soaring theme song, that’s for sure. Bulma in a bikini, too. Dragon Ball Online takes place 200 years after the manga’s end, when an organization has divided up the world, which players set out to reunite. What’s more, players start off as kids, grow into adults and can select any of…
File under: Oh Dear. A series of administrative blunders in the UK has resulted in the discovery today that the country’s video game ratings laws are not actually in effect. In 1984, the Video Recordings Act was passed in British parliament, resulting in the supposed implementation of a law that would see retailers and individuals…
Action title Bayonetta can be played with two hands or one. Convenient! In the clip below, the game’s character designer Mari Shimazaki tests out the one-button automatic mode. “Automatic can be used on Easy and Very Easy difficulties,” explains Bayonetta designer Hideki Kamiya, “and leaves the most complex controls up to the CPU.” Use only…
While Manhunt 2 was nowhere near as good as the first game, its cause wasn’t helped by the fact the game was edited by Rockstar to avoid an “Adults Only” rating. Now, two years after release, it seems Rockstar are willing to give the game one more chance, and release it uncut, as was originally…
As seen on Walyou.
This is a custom Shadow of the Colossus Munny. If you could actually buy it, it’d be perfect for those people either too late, or too cheap, to get hold of Kotobukiya’s larger, more official piece. It’s the attention to detail that’s key here; not only does it have little ledges for the little hero…
Japanese developer/publisher Level 5 have unveiled a brand new title today. Called Fantasy Life, it’s a game for the DS that looks a little, well, familiar. Anyone who’s played Mother 3 will look at these screenshots, look at Mother 3 and say “oh my, they do look similar”. As well they might! Because Brownie Brown,…
I’m just about at my breaking point with these wacky controller patents, but this one’s so wacky – a football you stick your Wii Remote into – that it’s worth a closer look. It’s essentially a soft (rubber? foam?) football with holes in it, that you stick the Wii Remote and Wii Nunchuk into. For…
In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, players can use one gun at a time. Modern Warfare 2 is letting players wield two guns at a time. Two in two — geddit? Infinity Ward blogger FourZeroTwo showed off the feature at a GameCrazy convention, blogging: I was presenting a singleplayer mission at the GameCrazy show this…
You’d think that with Gearbox working on it, and with it being based on one of the most popular sci-fi films of all-time, that Aliens: Colonial Marine would be top-billing on Sega’s release schedule. But it’s not. It’s not even top-billing on Sega’s Aliens tie-in release schedule! Sega’s Mike Hayes has told G4 that the…
PS3 firmware 3.0, apparently. That’s what PlayStation Network operations director Eric Lempel said, and he should know. He is the PlayStation Network operations director. “You know, I wouldn’t say that or sure just yet because we are working on some things,” Lempel told G4. “But this is a big and significant update, so you would…
The world is a big place. And what’s cool for one part of it may not be so cool for another. Take Diablo III, for example, which will have its violent content edited when it’s released in certain markets. In Australia and Germany, two markets where classification authorities (for varying reasons) run a tight ship,…
British film director Paul W.S. Anderson first met 33-year-old actress Milla Jovovich during the filming of Resident Evil. A trilogy of RE films and one baby girl later, the duo have tied the knot. The director and Jovovich were wed at their Beverly Hills abode in an outdoor ceremony, attending by friends and family. This…
Famous for his elegant Final Fantasy and Vampire Hunter D, artist Yoshitaka Amano will be drawing Japanese-style ASCII art. Folks will vote on which one of the four 2ch characters they want the famed illustrator to do his own interpretation of. The drawing will be shown live on Nico Nico Douga tomorrow from 8:00 to…
Nintendo has announced that Wii Sports Resort has reached the million seller milestone. The game launched on June 25 in The Land of The Rising Sun and was met with brisk sales. The second week was a sharp drop off, but as the chart below points out, the title has recently seen an upswing in…
So says this pamphlet for the game, which was passed around last week at Gamescom. You don’t need to be a German (or Austrian!) to make out what “4. Quartal 2009” means. Before you ask, yes, it means Q4 2009. And before you ask, yes, it’s a real Sony pamphlet, not a work of Photoshop…
Since the console launched in 2006 until the official announcement of the new, slimmer machine, the PS3 has been written in the same font used for Sony’s Spider-Man 3 movie. What’s more, the official way to type out the name was in ALL CAPS. The new console iteration ditches both in favor of either the…
Never mind the fact that last week, in the lead-up to Sony’s Gamescom press conference, the PlayStation Network went down for maintenance. This week, it’s going down again! At 2:15pm (PST) tomorrow, August 25 (which is 9:15pm GMT), and running for around four hours, nobody will be able to sign into the PlayStation Network to…
A playable demo for upcoming role-playing-game Final Fantasy XIII has already been released in Japan. Bundled with Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete, it came out earlier this spring. And with the Japanese PS3 version being something like 90 percent finished, you’d think that the game would be in playable form at this year’s Tokyo…
The hardware business is not a profitable business. Don’t believe us, just ask Sony. When the original PS3 launched, Sony bled money on each PS3 sold. But the manufacturing process improved, and Sony was able to close the gap. Just as that started to happen, the company is now launching a new hardware iteration. New…
