When a game is set in space, invariably it’s set there so you can fly a spaceship and shoot at things. Space Engine does away with all that nonsense, leaving you with just…space. Billed as a “free universe simulator”, whether you call it a game or not depends on how much you like exploring (and…
We got our first look at gorgeous indie…racer (?) Proun last year, but the game’s developer, Joost van Dongen (one of the devs behind De Blob and Swords & Soldiers), has just released a second trailer. And it’s even better. The game’s currently shaping up for a Spring release on the PC. If you want,…
It’s sadly not an official one, but for a custom piece, it’s not so bad! Sure, the face could do with some work (even if it is based on the original pixel art design of LeChuck and not his proper artwork), but the devil (or zombie ghost in this case) is in the details. Get…
According to the bill of sale, this Game Boy was owned by Michael Jackson. He used it to court Macaulay Culkin. Culkin even set Tetris records on it. So $75 to call it your own is quite a steal! Or, it would were that actually the story behind this golden Game Boy, but it’s not.…
Can you log onto the PlayStation Network via your PS3 console at the moment? We can’t, and we’re getting reports plenty of other people can’t either. Attempts to log into the PSN on consoles are being met with the error message 80710A06. While American users began reporting the issue a few hours ago, I’ve since…
It’s one of those quirks of history that Nintendo, a company synonymous with colourful characters and fun video games, made its very first independent venture into the world of arcade gaming with…a board game adaptation. While 1981’s Donkey Kong and 1983’s Mario Bros. are most people’s introduction to Nintendo arcade games, the company’s first coin-op…
When the Nintendo 3DS was first unveiled, we were shown a bunch of trailers from games that barely even existed yet. And even then, saw nothing of a new Mario game. So it’d be sweet if it actually came out this year. But it just might, if comments by Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto can be…
Sony’s God Of War series may be set for a fourth home console title, with a source telling PSM3 that God Of War 4 will be out in September 2012. Try not to act too surprised.
It’s a shame that you miss it while you’re too busy kicking cars and shooting things in the face, but Crysis 2 is a love letter to the city of New York, something that really shines through in the game’s concept art. These pieces were done by Crytek artists Dennis Chan and Viktor Jonsson, and…
You need to fill out an entry form. And be honest. It may get creepy, like it does here, but you must be honest (via Gamefreaks). what’s cooler than being cool? by Nick Edwards
While Minecraft has long had a “free” mode, that’s restricted you to just running around building stuff. The new demo for the game actually lets you engage in the proper singleplayer “campaign”, albeit with a time limit. Players have 90 minutes to run around building, destroying, mining and killing anything they can get their hands…
And no, I don’t mean literally speaking with them. Eww! Reality! I mean chatting with them, as the official World of Warcraft Mobile Guild app now supports a remote chat feature. If you’ve got the app and are away from your computer, it allows you to not only access your guild’s chat room, but have…
Don’t sweat it, Americans! You may not be getting the fancy Deus Ex Collector’s Edition that includes an action figure, but you’re certainly free to go buying the figure on his own, as he’s part of an entire line being released by Square Enix. Part of the company’s “Play Arts” series of action figures, there…
You know, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a sports game trailer that has a dog, a Centurion (or Spartan?), an American Indian, a bull and a buffalo all in the one video before.
Microsoft’s Xbox Live Indie Games Channel has been hit in recent weeks with some ratings manipulation, which is affecting how games are displayed (and as a result sold) on the service. Here’s what the platform holder is doing about it. “Starting today”, reads a statement issued by Microsoft, “only users with Xbox LIVE Gold subscriptions…
With Portal 2 knocking Team Fortress 2 from the limelight this week, many people are probably wondering what the hell they’re going to do with all those hats they’ve picked up. Well, you can use them in Portal 2. Six of the most iconic Team Fortress 2 hats – and really, hats is what that…
Sad news out of Sony tonight, as Team Ico boss Fumito Ueda sends word that his studio’s upcoming PS3 game The Last Guardian, along with the HD re-releases of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, have all been delayed. The Ico/SotC collection was originally supposed to be out this Spring. Last Guardian, meanwhile, was supposed…
The Wii’s sensor bar is a flimsy little thing. It’s pretty weak, too. What it needs, then, is MORE POWER, and that’s exactly what these two handymen are proposing. They’ve built the MegaBar, a large, powered infared source that lets you use a Wii Remote with accuracy well beyond the console’s standard range. So, say,…
The short answer: a lot. The long answer: a substantial amount, my dear, it really is quite noticeable. These new comparison shots, put together by NeoGAF user Prime Blue, show some key scenes and locations early on in the game, with the 1998 Nintendo 64 version on the left and the 2011 Nintendo 3DS version…
Acclaimed British actor Tim Curry may be most famous to regular folk for his roles in The Rocky Horror Picture Show and…Muppet Treasure Island, but he’s most famous around here for his work in video games. You see, Tim Curry – who Infinite Lives reminds us turns 65 today – is Kotaku After Dark’s favourite…
