Uncharted 3 director Justin Richmond got everyone’s hopes up last week when he said that, contrary to rumours, Mark Wahlberg had not been cast in the role of Nathan Drake. Don’t tell Mark Wahlberg that. It appears that Richmond’s “wait and see” pleading may have been little more than an attempt at calming down the…
Speaking with the Wall Street Journal, Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata has revealed that for the remainder of the company’s fiscal year, there will be four million 3DS handhelds available to customers. Worldwide. Remember, that’s for the fiscal year, which ends March 31. So it’s basically only covering the 3DS’ immediate launch window, not the entirety…
Hacker George “GeoHot” Hotz, who along with the fail0verflow team have in the past week cracked the PS3 wide open, has posted up a video showing the exploits in action. What you’re about to see won’t rock your world, as he only boots a “hello world” message, but regardless of what he put on the…
Here is the line earlier today to get into the Nintendo World 3DS event in Tokyo. After that, then more lines inside, what are people getting their hands on? How about a game that was released in the 20th century. Yes, while there are loads of new games on the showroom floor for members of…
It’s not just games and the 3DS itself on display in Tokyo today; Nintendo is also showing off the box the new handheld will ship in, along with mock-ups of what 3DS game boxes will look like. As you can see above, Nintendo has stuck with the “classy” theme it’s been running with for the…
The next Elder Scrolls game, Skyrim, will be making some big changes to the way the series handles things like combat and levelling-up. Firstly, combat: according to a piece in the latest issue of Game Informer, you can now dual-wield weapons in the game. To many it will sound like a cheap take on a…
As part of its big Nintendo World event being held in Tokyo at the moment, Nintendo has released a chart outlining the final hardware specifications for the 3DS. Most importantly, that includes details on the handheld’s battery life. It takes 3.5 hours for a 3DS battery to fully charge, which is pretty good. As for…

Artist Emily Carroll’s video game-inspired works don’t fill the page with explosions, or large necks, or slutty women. They just show people smiling. Warm, happy smiles. While Carroll gets Red Dead’s Bonnie McFarlane 100% right, and assembles the sweetest team of Cerberus soldiers the galaxy as ever seen, that Chloe & Drake shot, from Uncharted…
You only ever seem to hear about arcades closing these days, so let’s break that depressing trend and welcome the opening of a big new arcade instead. Pinball Wizard Arcade is located in Pelham, New Hampshire, and will be throwing its doors open on January 12. Not only does it have a great name, but…
The game formerly known as CIvilization: Network – now more appropriately titled Civ World – is coming later this year. But if you’re lucky, you can play it this month. While the game’s open beta won’t be taking place until around June, beginning January 12 select alpha testers will be let in the front gates…
This “PS One Handheld Game Player” is in no way endorsed or supported by Sony. That doesn’t stop it playing PS1 games, though. For USD$77 you can buy the unit, based off an older PSP knock-off that was actually a portable TV and media player. This newer model, though, is more in line with the…
The sandstone caves of Nottingham are a network of caverns and tunnels deep beneath the English city. There’s currently a project underway to “map” these caves, and the results look more than a little familiar. I never thought I would see the day where science, tourism and “noclip mode” intersected, but it appears that day…
Earlier today, Sony and Eidos reiterated the launch details for a trilogy of Tomb Raider re-releases destined for the PS3. Part of that was a reveal of the pack’s cover, which has us shaking our heads in disappointment. The box art, pictured above, features the three covers of the games the bundle is collecting. There’s…
Over the past week, the PlayStation 3’s copy protection has been blown wide open, the very heart of the console laid bare. Yet Sony believes it can prevent homebrewers (and, let’s face it, pirates) from taking advantage. “We are aware of this, and are currently looking into it,” a Sony representative tells Edge. “We will…
Along with a “review“, we’ve also got for you tonight some footage of the (rumoured) PlayStation Phone’s menu, game performance and screenshots of the thing in action. First up is the phone’s menu system, which as you can see here is able to switch neatly between “phone” mode and “PSP” mode when the PlayStation Pocket…
Can’t remember the last time so much info spilled out about a piece of gaming hardware before it was officially unveiled, but whatever, it’s 2011, let’s roll with it: the PlayStation Phone has been reviewed Chinese website IT168 got its hands on a version of the phone (which it carefully points out may not be…
Hope you grabbed that big Morrowind mod pack released the other day, because it’s tough to find at the moment. Turns out the man responsible for the package didn’t get the approval of all the individual mods whose work was included, and after a succession of requests and threats Morrowind 2011 is now “under attack”,…
Torchlight, one of 2009’s surprise hits on the PC, is hoping to be one of 2011’s surprise hits on the Xbox 360. Here’s how it’s shaping up. Torchlight should be out in Feb/March, and will sadly only be appearing on the Xbox 360, with no PS3 version planned (as it’s actually being published by Microsoft).
