Gamers Well Represented at Blood Drive
Who showed up to Capcom’s blood drive for RE5? A guy who wears a PowerGlove as a fashion statement. Someone cosplaying a merchant from Assassin’s Creed Resident Evil 4. And a self-described "shut-in" who drinks forties all day. Yes, people of Los Angeles, if you get in a nasty-ass wreck on the Harbor Freeway, you…

The Old Republic Introduces Bounty Hunters
The Old Republic’s Web site has put up a bio for the upcoming game’s bounty hunter class, giving us all a look at a proto-Fett who activates his jetpack with a wrist-worn laptop or something.

The Most Deranged and/or Offensive NES ROM Hacks, Ever
Warning, a few on this list make Beat ‘Em and Eat ‘Em look like Metal Gear Solid 4. But there are some genuinely hilarious winners among a mostly despicable list of deranged NES ROM hacks. The -Minus World swears that none of these are made up. Which is good, because No. 20 is a joke…

Alyssa Milano Starring in Ghostbusters Game
Alyssa Milano is your female lead in the upcoming Ghostbusters title by Atari. Her character, a museum curator, takes the place of Sigourney Weaver as the damsel in distress. Says Milano, the inspiration for Ariel in ‘The Little Mermaid’ and the star of the cringe-inducing, tongue-scraping “Teen Steam” stressbusting workout series on VHS: “Obviously, fans…

New Nintendo Patent Looks Like Picture Pages 2.0
A new patent application Nintendo has filed in the U.S. tips its hand to a potential new focus for the game-maker, and no, it is not core gamers. I’m no patent inspector or IP attorney, but what’s being described here looks like an application of the Wiimote, not some new hardware or peripheral. By using…

Need a Jorb? 2K Boston’s Recruiting Hard at GDC
2K Boston, the house behind Bioshock, hits SF and the GDC this week looking for talent to help them with “their biggest and most ambitious project yet.” Dozens of openings are promised. 2K Boston itself is touting this push pretty hard.

Wolfenstein Trailer: Short Attention Span Theater
Here’s your "Occult" trailer for the upcoming Wolfenstein next-gen re-do/sequel. Too bad it doesn’t linger on any shot for longer than 15 frames, I’d really like to process the visuals and maybe understand its gameplay. Anyway, the long-awaited sequel (since, like, 2004) is due for a July release on PC, 360 and PS3, adding mutant…

NCAA Football 10 Gets a Release Date — but Not for Wii
The latest edition of NCAA Football will release July 14 on four consoles, but none of them are named Wii. The “All-Play” version has been sacked as EA Sports focuses on improving the full-featured title.

Weekend Coupons: Slim Savings
We seem to have hit a lull this week. Gamestop has gone ga-ga with Pokémon shit because the DS platinum version is releasing March 22. Play-Asia is having a huge sale, though.

Terror Suspect Chooses Prison after Wii Confiscated
Crecente rocked the Bird Shirt in his new passport photo, which just screams “body cavity search.” He might reconsider dressing like a terror suspect, after Canada confiscated a Wii belonging to one. Mohamed Zeki Mahjoub is an Egyptian who got political asylum in Canada, then was imprisoned as a terror suspect for his close ties…

Vin Diesel Salutes British Host’s Level 80 Wife
Vin Diesel’s been on a full-court publicity press of late, but say this about the man – he’s not a phony when it comes to games. Diesel appeared on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, an entertainment/interview program (fine, programme, happy?) on BBC One. The tables get turned rather quickly when Ross asks Diesel about his…

EA’s Still a Little Pissy that “Guided Experience” Hasn’t Caught On
Eurogamer asks a lot of impertinent questions of Dead Space: Extraction’s executive producer. Like “Is this still gonna be cool for a rail shooter?” And “are you gonna babyfy anything because it’s on the Wii?” That’s not directly what was said to EA’s Steve Papoutsis, but he seems to take its meaning as such. Check…

Wait a Minute, What the Hell Happens April 9?
Is it the Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack release date? Bungie’s latest update ends with “PS: 04/09/09.” Last week, notes sharp-eyed reader Crono51, the studio hinted the release date was coming “Soon™. Maybe next week.” When people throw cryptic crap at me and gratuitously trademark adverbs, I just start taking it all at face value…

Kotaku Originals: Midas Touch
Give yourselves a big hand and take a victory lap. Our determined grassroots campaign – that, or Paramount seeing some no-brainer DLC to hype Transformers 2 – succeeded in getting “The Touch” on Guitar Hero.

PAL PlayStation Store Update: Silent Hill!
That Silent Hill classification the other day wasn’t for a Wii-make. It was for a PS1-make! Konami’s classic was re-released on the PAL PlayStation Store yesterday, so this week, PAL users, no complaining.
