For around a week now, I’ve been meaning to write up a post about King Arthur’s Gold, and never got around to it. I am truly sorry about this. So today, without further ado: King Arthur’s Gold If I were to be crude and unfair with a sweeping generalisation, I’d say it’s a cross between…
According to a report on Forbes, Sony will be announcing a brand new God of War title at this year’s E3, one which will be a “3D adventure”. [Forbes]
The first Prototype game seemed to be about punching helicopters. Its sequel, going by this E3 trailer, seems to be all about blood
It won’t be official until it’s unveiled on stage during Sony’s E3 press conference, but bookmakers are surely cutting off bets on the NGP’s final name after this trademark filing turned up overnight. Called, yes, the PlayStation Vita, the filing was filed with the Trademarks and Designs Registration Office of the European Union on June…
Sony’s online virtual community PlayStation Home has its own little version of the “Welcome Back” package, which has seen PS3 owners get some free games. Only, in Home, you don’t get games. You get stuff. One hundred pieces of stuff, to be clear, each Home user able to claim a whole bunch of stuff like…
You know, it’s probably more of a “doll”, but whatever. Flickr user nael has built himself a Portal 2 action figure/doll, and as you’re about to see, it’s amazing The attention to detail is what first grabs you, as Chell’s jumpsuit is stitched to perfection and even her chicken leg boots are perfectly recreated in…
Some background: a preview build of the new Deus Ex game leaked onto torrent sites last week. So people out there, in the wild, are playing the early part of the game. And they’re doing a better job marketing it than Square Enix could ever hope. Not that Square Enix has done a bad job;…
E3 is almost upon us! It’s a time of great excitement for video game fans the world over, but yet, it is also a time to be wary. Because not everything you’re about to see is going to be awesome. Some of it will suck. Worse, some of it will suck so bad it’ll be…
Not if you care about video games. Or Star Wars Don’t just take note of the lag present when Kinect evangelist Kudo Tsunoda swings his lightsaber. Take a look at when he “jumps”, and his on-screen jedi doesn’t begin to somersault until Kudo has already landed. Oh dear. You can check out a slicker, less…
Aren’t these Kidrobot x Street Fighter figures the cutest little World Warriors you’ve ever seen? [Spankystokes, via Tomopop]

Previously, while at Ubisoft, he contributed to franchises like Assassin’s Creed, Splinter Cell and Prince of Persia Today we’re looking at his pieces from Far Cry 2, Assassin’s Creed and Assassin’s Creed II, all of which are great It’s a…
Marshal Banana is just the right name for the person responsible for this enormous custom LEGO Sandcrawler, because this shit is b-a-n-a-n-a-s. It’s made of over 10,000 LEGO bricks, weighs 10kg, rolls, lowers its door and even sucks up droids. All that for “only” nine months design and building time. [thanks everyone!]
Valve’s competition to find the best short films based on Team Fortress 2 is now closed, and the finalists have been selected. As you would expect given the game’s talented fanbase, many of those chosen are incredible pieces of work. The one I’m highlighting above, by Sauctaliens, is nominated in the category of Best Cinematography,…
LA Noire had been in development for over six years across two publishers, so by the time it was done, a lot of people had worked on the game. More than were listed (or listed correctly) in its closing credits. The site lanoirecredits.com, thankfully, seeks to address that. Put together by former Team Bondi devs,…
For a company with such storied franchises, Nintendo sure does a terrible job in commemorating them. Mario got a red Wii and a repackaged game for his 25th birthday, and Zelda got…bupkis. That may be changing come E3, as Nintendo’s Masahiro Sakurai went to the trouble today of posting his E3 access pass on Twitter.…
Until today, I could never see the point in a sequel to Prey, a game with a few neat ideas but nothing apart from assholes on the wall to really help it stand out. I now stand corrected. There is definitely a point. This isn’t the same game. Not at all. The first game was…
Dark Souls is not the sequel to punishing 2009 RPG Demon’s Souls. Though it may as well be. This is a new story trailer released ahead of E3, in which people run around to disconnected voices while fighting giant monsters. Which, given the game’s difficulty, will probably kill them in around three seconds. Dark Souls…
Soul Calibur V has been kept under lock and key since its unveiling. No longer! Here’s a ton of gameplay footage, showing swords and souls aplenty. The game, slated to appear on Xbox 360 and PS3, won’t be out until next year.
If you’ve ever wondered what set Lara Croft off on the journey from a mild-mannered young British lady into a hardened killer, here’s your answer. She fell off a boat. This brand new trailer, for the upcoming Tomb Raider reboot, is certainly slick. Definitely fresh for the franchise as well. Just what Tomb Raider needed!
Konami is engaging in the very definition of fan service with its Metal Gear and ZoE box sets. Question is, are the results worth it? While we won’t know how they play until we play them, we can judge them today on how they look. Zone of the Enders screens sadly aren’t available yet (that…
