There’s a new Uncharted game coming. Expect something social or mobile.
Freddie Prinze, former teen heartthrob now mysteriously gnarly grown dude, is on the marketing trail for the Mass Effect anime flick Paragon Lost (he voiced James Vega in Mass Effect 3 and reprises the role in the movie). In an interview recently, he used the terms Japanime and Japanimation. Which, as he explains, is kinda…
A patent filed by Microsoft last year, but only made public last week, wants to turn your Xbox 360’s Kinect into an instrument via which large companies can monitor your media usage and, if you’re found to be in violation of something, charge you for it. And no, I am not making that up. The…
According to reports, Microsoft is thinking about releasing a 7-inch, Xbox-branded version of its new Surface tablet device. For a company that for over a decade has avoided the temptation of releasing a portable Xbox device, that would be quite the thing. So, let’s say this actually happens. And next year sometime Microsoft takes the…
First Deus Ex, then Dishonored…dare we dream that first-person stealth isn’t just coming back, but it’s coming back better than ever? Let’s. Especially when modders toiling away on the final year of a school project are coming up with stuff that looks this good. Abduction is a CryEngine 3 project that’s loking awfully promising, even…
When taking Gigabyte’s Krypton gaming mouse out of its box for the first time, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Here was a company I normally associate with motherboards and graphics cards with their name on a fancy peripheral, one that promised an awful lot. Silly me. It mostly delivers. WHAT’S IN THE BOX 1x…
Well? Do you? Visitors to our Facebook page may have noticed something different: a change of banner. That banner is the image above, by British artist Dean Lord, whose other execllent works you can check out here
It’s one of the coolest parts so far in HBO’s Game of Thrones series, and it’s now also one of 2012’s coolest pieces of costume work, this couple making the smart decision to attend a party dressed not as Daenerys Targaryen and Khal Drogo, but Khaleesi and… the poor horse. Fashionably Geek Reader Halloween Cosplay…
Prop builder Harrison Krix is continuing his one-man mission to bring Skyrim to life, one weapon and piece of armour at a time, with this incredible recreation of a Steel Axe from Bethesda’s sprawling RPG. Commissioned by a fan to make one, Krix actually went out and made three, one for the client, one for…
I love sports. I love video games. That doesn’t mean I automatically love sports video games, because as a non-American, most professional and polished titles don’t really appeal. I love my football games, though, from FIFA to Pro Evo, and that means I’ve also got a soft spot for the Football Manager series, games that…
Look at them. Angry dudes, the lot of them. Well, maybe the Fable guy isn’t. You could say he’s either grimly satisfied or smilingly malicious. The rest, though? Angry dudes. @hunicke [Twitter]
I haven’t had a chance to really sink my teeth into Assassin’s Creed III yet, but it seems there’s a little conjecture over whether it’s a step forwards or a step backwards for the series. Which is an argument for reviews. Fine Art is all about the pretty stuff, and I doubt you’ll find many…
As Americans prepare to head to the polls, it’s worth noting that one of the most important events on the planet is barely represented in the world of video games. Sure, you get the odd social or joke game released every four years to cash in on the hype surrounding a Presidential election, but on…
When old-timers talk about the halcyon days of space games, they mention series like X-Wing and Wing Commander. They also, in the same breath—and often before—mention Elite. The pioneering space trading and combat game, first released in 1984 (and which saw an equally ambitious sequel in 1993) remains one of the most expansive gaming experiences…
Flagship Android phones might be getting bigger screens, but that’s not making game control much easier. Sometimes, you really need a controller. There are dedicated phone controllers you could buy, sure, but if you’ve got a DualShock 3 lying around the house, you may as well use it instead. Sixaxis Controller turns a PS3 pad…
Gamers often complain that their trailers don’t have enough gameplay in them, or too many cinematic sequences, or too many real actors pretending to be video game characters. This clip, for Assassin’s Creed III, has none of the above. Commissioned to run during Adult Swim, it’s got a Robot Chicken vibe as far as the…
We caught a first look at it a couple of weeks back, but here’s a longer, better look at Outlast, an upcoming survival horror game from Red Barrels, a new studio made up of former Assassin’s Creed, Uncharted and Splinter Cell developers. If you’re not a fan of the setting up top, you’ll hopefully like…
Take a look at the image above from retailer Thinkgeek, and consider the company’s love of joking around, and you’d think it’s a hoax. Especially when you look at its $30,000 price tag. But no, the production images (and $1800 postage) suggest this replace Game of Thrones…throne is an actual thing, which takes 6-8 weeks…
It’s been, what, only a few weeks since Slooshi was caught jerking off on camera after a League of Legends livestream event? Well, looks like somebody – and by somebody, I mean World of Warcraft player murdaralph – didn’t learn their lesson. Having finished a Mists of Pandaria livestreaming session over on Twitch, murdaralph shut…
This ten-minute clip, by Helix Snake, is in order, with #50 at the beginning. So you can imagine how good things are getting by the time we get to the top spot. While laughs and stupid crap are the order of the day, you should watch the whole thing, because in between all the slapstick…
