While there have been adapters allowing you to use 360 pads on a PS3 for a while now (and vice versa), it’s not often you see a controller released that promises to literally copy one platform’s pad and replicate it on another. That’s exactly what Speedlink’s new PS3 controller promises to do, though, taking the…
Over the weekend, website Force Strategy Gaming threw up some supposedly leaked screenshots and, more importantly, footage from the upcoming Diablo III beta. The gameplaywon’t have much of interest unless you’re a die-hard Diablo fan. Of more general interest – or maybe, as a menu fetishist, this is just me – is the game’s front…
Most people know, and love, Japanese developer Hideo Kojima for the Metal Gear series, a franchise he created all the way back in 1987. For me, though, that’s a convoluted mess of a property that’s become more unwieldy and pointlessly self-referential with each passing entry. If you feel the same and would like to see…
Today at Fine Art we’re looking at the work of Daniel Rizea, who in the last few years has provided art for games like Crysis, Crysis 2 and Crytek’s upcoming fantasy title Ryse Rizea hasn’t always been at the PC powerhouse; he got his start at Ubisoft, where he worked on Blazing Angels, Silent Hunter…
Say what you will of the basketcase this franchise’s singleplayer has become, one thing it still does very well is multiplayer. Which, you know, is the reason 95% of people buying this game buy this game. So…it doesn’t really need a trailer at all! But thanks for making one anyway, Activision. Appreciate it. Call of…
Confirming something that was, well, already pretty clear earlier this year, Sledgehammer has said that helping Infinity Ward develop Modern Warfare 3 meant it had to abandon its planned third-person Call of Duty game. “We came on board to make a third person action adventure game, in the Call of Duty franchise, and we were…
Oh China. First a bootleg Blizzard theme park and now this, bootleg, real-life games of Angry Birds? What’s next, fake Apple stores? Fake consoles? Oh. This game, at a theme park in Changsha, Hunan, isn’t as extravagant as the Blizzard park, but it’s just as unlicensed, Britain’s Metro reporting that it lacks the permission of…
For a little while now, the revamped Star Tours attraction at Disneyland has been selling some rad figures mashing up famous Disney characters with those of the Star Wars universe. And now there are more of them. These images have popped up on a Chinese blog and show a new series, which while heavy with…
Doug Foster, who has been the Police Chief of Umatilla, Florida for the past 19 years, has been suspended for ten days after a litany of complaints against him by staff. While he’s been accused of bullying, refusing to attend crime scenes and “having his staff run his personal errands”, the first offence listed on…
Whenever a multiplayer game’s map packs are revealed- and Call of Duty is often the worst offender in this regard – people on the internet wail and gnash their teeth. And rightly so, in many respects, since you’re rarely getting much value for your dollar. All that wailing counts for naught, though, because as far…
A whole bunch of the stars of Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption are getting back together to shoot a live-action horror movie set in the Wild West. In a brothel. With zombies. The movie’s called From the Trailer to the Grave, and is directed by K. Harrison Sweeney. It stars, among others, Steve J. Palmer and…
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is out next week. And developers Relic have only today revealed the fact the game will have a co-op mode. It’s a late addition to the game; so late, in fact, it won’t be available until next month. The co-op mode, called Exterminatus, has two maps, and lets up to four…
Ah, paper catalogues. They still make them, but they’re not what they used to be. What are now glossy prints highlighting only a select few items from a store used to be informational tomes, full of almost everything you could ever want. And we all wanted video games, right? These catalogues, mostly from US retailer…
It’s the flavour of the week here at Kotaku, and to echo Kirk’s glowing review, every second I’ve been awake and not working I’ve been walking up to people and saying hello there have yo-ELBOW KNIVES. So now is as good a time as any to look at some of the gorgeous concept art for…
There have been tiny bits of this sequence shown in previous trailers, but this new clip showing singleplayer gameplay from Uncharted 3 gives us the entire part where Drake learns the perils of flying economy. Uncharted 3 will be out in November 2011. Which is great! Because, you know, nothing else is coming out in…
New York isn’t like other cities. It’s confined to a limited space, has clearly-defined areas and a multitude of rich and varied cultures. So saying it’s like a video game world isn’t drawing too long a bow. Neither is drawing the city in the style of Super Mario World, as Jesse Eisemann has done here.…
If you’ve missed the first two games in the series, and don’t have time to catch up on large necks and dead wives and giant worms, this new trailer for Gears of War 3 gets you instantly up to speed on humanity’s war against the Locust. It’s short. So short, in fact, you get to…
To go with its PlayStation Phone, Sony will soon be releasing a pair of wild and wacky PlayStation-certified tablet computers as well. Which, as of today, have most of their release info locked down. The S1, which is the more traditional tablet of the two, will go on sale later this month for $500. It’s…
So I saw Mass Effect 3 the other day in Germany, and wasn’t allowed to take pictures. No matter. Here are pictures of some of the stuff I saw, complete with giant MASS EFFECT 3 watermarks on them. Just in case you forgot what game we were talking about here. You can contact Luke Plunkett,…
