For nearly all of its pre-release marketing, Ubisoft has for some reason decided to focus on Far Cry 3’s cast and weird stuff like animals. Instead of, you know, the things people like most about those games: free-roaming action. This 16-minute clip, on the other hand, has almost nothing but, and is of the PC…
Adorable. This is a clip by Pendleton Ward, Adventure Time creator, drumming up support for the wonderful-sounding LA Game Space And if that’s not enough to get you interested?

Damian Schouweiler, of BioWare, works at the company’s social division, meaning he’s contributed to games like Age of Champions, from which all of today’s images originate. In the past, however, he’s been employed at places like Trion and Sony Online Entertainment, where he helped out on Legends of Norrath, Everquest 2, RIFT and the Untold…
Project CARS, you’re killing me. I see trailers like this, I see the words “pre-alpha footage”, and I don’t know whether to punch you, or kiss you, or both. This clip is showing off the game’s multiplayer mods. Even the type used to show your competitors looks amazing. For those who don’t know, Project CARS…

As Fable creator Peter Molyneux’s new team 22cans continues throwing game ideas against the wall and seeing what sticks, the company’s next game looks a lot more familiar than weird iOS novelty Curiosity Called Project GODUS, it’s “an innovative reinvention of Populous“, which explains why you looked at that image up top, saw Molyneux’s name…
Starting Monday, BioWare’s online store will be selling this limited edition snowboard. Doesn’t matter if you live near snow or not. The fact the board features FemShep, and not ManShep, is pretty great.

That rumour yesterday about ESB/Jedi writer Lawrence Kasdan writing a new Star Wars movie? THR says the deal is done.
World of Warcraft is 8 this year, so Blizzard put this video together highlighting… well, lots of gameplay. You could joke that the reason there’s no “then and now” shots is because the game has barely changed in that time, but seeing as it still attracts millions of players a month that’s probably more of…
Battlefield 3 has some pretty realistic physics, but let’s not get carried away here. It’s a video game. Meaning those physics exist solely so people can do cool shit like flip a tank onto the roof of a building. I don’t want to know how much planning and trial-and-error went into this, but I don’t…

A lawsuit that began with spam emails and an investigation into slot machines has turned its great all-seeing eye to the world of video games, with Tolkien’s estate claiming that some of Warner Bros’ recent titles violate the company’s licensing agreement.

That’s the gist of a question put forth to Mass Effect fans today by BioWare’s Casey Hudson, who wants to know whether series fans want the next game in the franchise to take “place before the trilogy, or after?” How closely they’re going to be listening is anyone’s guess, since for all we know those…
The video game industry isn’t all fast cars and trips to Japan. For every studio head basking in the glow of media attention there are 100 developers lower down the food chain whose job can be a little more mundane. Like the guy/guys/gals who had to paint some butts for a trailer. Speaking with GI.biz,…
Artist Andrew Ryan has been working on this crossover for a while now, but today he let us know that he’s done. Finished. The worlds of Dragon Age and Mass Effect are now one. In the epic image below, you’ll see just about every major character from the Mass Effect series dressed up as a…
An unnamed Dutch man has been sentenced to six months’ prison for threatening police officers with a heavily-modified Wii controller back in May.

4A Games’ Metro: Last Light is coming to the 360, PS3 and PC. It won’t, however, be coming to the Wii U, because its developers say they are far from impressed with the new console.

Oh boy Deadline is reporting that Disney has approached both Lawrence Kasdan and Simon Kinberg to see if they’re interested in writing subsequent Star Wars sequels (Michael Arndt is handling Episode VII).
