The last time I played Battlefield 3 on the PS3, it had some problems. But that was the game’s co-op mode! The game’s singleplayer code is looking a lot healthier. The demo available at the Tokyo Game Show is a level we haven’t played before, a singleplayer mission that involves storming an apartment building at…
This trailer for Tekken on the 3DS was shown at yesterday’s Namco Bandai showcase in Shinagawa. While the game failed to spark much interest, this footage of Street Fighter boss Yoshinori Ono and Tekken’s lead man Katsuhiro Harada brought the house down. You can contact Luke Plunkett, the author of this post, at [email protected]. You…
Wii Sports was a mirage. At first glance it seemed the perfect sports game, all action and technique, no button-mashing. A few hours in, though, and you saw it for what it was: incredibly primitive motion control that let you essentially cheat your way to victory by flicking your wrists instead of hurling your body.…
Here’s something I spent a little too much time enjoying during my time with Dark Souls yesterday: a game I like to call Corpse Football. It’s a blast.

Japanese developer Grasshopper Manufacture, the team behind games like No More Heroes, is moving into the mobile gaming scene after teaming up with Japanese “social network operator” DeNA. Three titles were announced as part of the partnership between the two companies, revealed at a pre-TGS party held by Grasshopper in Roppongi last night. The first,…
Having tried out Armored Core V’s co-operative multiplayer mode at Gamescom last month, at yesterday’s pre-TGS Namco Bandai showcase event I got my hands on Armored Core V’s singleplayer. It was…well, it wasn’t easy on my eyes. Not in terms of how it feels. This is an Armored Core game, you’re getting the same fast,…
Normally, I’d sit down to play a sequel (in this case spiritual, if not official) and notice what’s different. Not today. Playing Dark Souls at Namco Bandai’s pre-TGS showcase was like seeing a friend the day after you last saw them, and all that’s changed is the shirt they’re wearing. I never finished Demons Souls.…
Get a load of these contestants from the 2011 Miss Universe competition. This isn’t the swimsuit competition. It’s something far more interesting: the national dress competition. Which looks more like the world’s slinkiest cosplay showcase. I mean, get a load of this stuff! You’d think a “national dress” competition would be for, well, national dress.…
After the tragic events of earlier this year, for a while the 2011 Tokyo Game Show didn’t seem like it was going to happen. This hasn’t been a good year for Japan. If you’re a gamer, though, this year’s TGS is a bright spot. Here’s what we’re looking forward to this week at the 2011…
Mech-Zangief! | If you dug this new Meat Bun shirt, here’s a nice big version from the artist’s portfolio Age of Empires’ Art is Like Free-to-Play Ice Cream When opting for “cartoon” graphics, there’s a fine line between looking stylish and looking childish. Age of Empires Online, I think, gets it just right. The fact…
Early next year, Street Fighter fans will be able to get their hands on this 18″ Chun-Li statue. The pros are that it looks realistic. The cons? That pose. That pose She looks like she’s straining for a fart. Or doing warm-up stretches. Or some kind of folk dance. It’s not the kind of heroic…
This Zelda tattoo looks painful. And colourful! But so painful. Especially when you consider it’s not exactly canon. Zelda Chestpiece [ALBOTAS] You can contact Luke Plunkett, the author of this post, at [email protected]. You can also find him on Twitter, Facebook, and lurking around our #tips page.
When opting for “cartoon” graphics, there’s a fine line between looking stylish and looking childish. Age of Empires Online, I think, gets it just right. The fact the recently-released online game doesn’t look like the old Age of Empires has upset some fans, and that’s unavoidable. Still, it’s a shame, as the new game looks…
There aren’t any official Legend of Zelda action figures. Haven’t been for a very, very long time. Going by the quality of this custom piece, maybe it’s time for that to change. Toysmith BDCdiesel has built this Twilight Princess version of Link out of the remains of cannibalised figures like a Daredevil, Final Fantasy’s Cloud,…
So, blogger RoboRay bought himself a model kit of a Vic Viper fighter from classic shooter series Gradius. Upon completion, he took some photos. Not boring inside photos. Wonderful outside, pretend-the-Vic-Viper-is-actually-flying photos. Konami’s Gradius series has been with us since 1985, resulting in over a dozen of the finest shmup games on the planet. Gradius…
We’re in the eye of the storm as far as cosplay goes for 2011. We’ve just come off a hectic past few weeks with Gamescom and PAX, and this coming weekend will see the Tokyo Game Show’s annual delight of people dressed up as other people who don’t really exist. But for now? We’re going…
Some media of Battlefield 3 on the Xbox 360 has turned up over the weekend. It’s of limited use for graphics aficionados, as the capture is sub-par, but in terms of checking out gameplay it’s just fine All three videos are worth watching, as they show stuff not seen before, but the singleplayer jet combat…
North Tonawanda schoolgirl Lexi Peters is 14 years old, and is a big hockey fan. So much so that she plays the sport. She also plays the popular NHL video games all the time, but was sick of her and her friends having to play as men. So she sent developers EA Sports a letter.…
Purveyors of fine video game t-shirts, Meat Bun Heavy Industries, are back with an all-new line of clothing. And by clothing, I mean fine video game t-shirts. The new range includes shirts paying homage to stuff like Mortal Kombat (via Calvin and Hobbes), Pin*Bot, Metroid and Street Fighter (via the Chinese Communist Party). Look close…
