Nintendo will soon be releasing “large” Augmented Reality (AR) cards for the 3DS handheld. Which is fine, but we prefer ones that are “ridiculously enormous”.

Link finally encounters a temple he can’t conquer: the Temple of Doom. By Dan Hipp
Despite being presumed dead in the water, Lionhead’s Project Milo was once one of Kinect’s most interesting titles.

These storyboard images obtained by Develop show some…
Achievements. Almost every major platform has them now in some shape or form, but they started on the Xbox 360 back in 2005. Have you ever wondered how many have been unlocked in that time? While writing an upcoming story on Xbox Live, I got hold of these numbers related to the service, which I…
As anyone who owns a touch-screen device will tell you, when fingers are rubbed on screens, things get messy. But have you ever wondered how pretty some of those marks can be? Design Language News used a surprisingly complicated routine involving microfiber cloth and a black matte board to take photos of what an iPad…
Two days ago, nobody had ever heard of Hawken, nor its developers Adhesive Games.

DC Universe will be releasing a line of action figures based on the upcoming Batman game, Arkham City. The first two on the market will be Batman and Two-Face, who come packaged together in the one box. Which is awkward Pack Batman in on the Harvey Dent side and it’ll be swell! Pack him in…

Or, at least, the ones developed and/or published by some of the industry’s biggest names are are, a great feature on Gamasutra finding out the archiving and…
Dragon Age was an epic role-playing game. Sequels to those kind of things normally take years to be released (just ask Elder Scrolls fans!). So why did Dragon Age II come out less than 18 months after Dragon Age? The game’s composer, Inon Zur, may have an answer for you. “Unlike other titles from Bioware,…
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick sums up everything wrong with the “blockbuster” video game industry in a single sentence. Via Gamasutra
Time flies, doesn’t it? One day, you’re thinking only Sega and Nintendo are capable of building quality, successful gaming hardware.

John Boiles’ work getting Garry’s Mod to recognise Microsoft’s Kinect isn’t the most impressive video of its ilk we’ve seen. It is, however, the most entertaining.

Having “successfully led the turnaround of the games business”, PlayStation boss Kaz Hirai has (as expected) just been moved one step closer to the top job at Sony Corporation when current CEO Sir Howard Stringer moves on.
This is the story of one hipster-doofus, loose on the streets of Tokyo in an attempt to prove his worth as a Street Fighter IV player. And it’s more enjoyable than I just made it sound. Why? Because as a video it’s so easy on the eyes. It also takes in some of the city’s…
Cosplay, the art of dressing up like somebody else, is normally happy just looking like the character. Canadian Sheila isn’t happy just looking like the character. She has to look like screenshots When you look at the pictures individually, they look like…a girl standing around in a fairly basic costume. No big deal. But take…
Fumito Ueda, the driving force behind PS2 classics Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, doesn’t think as highly of his team’s last two games as you might.
