We’re pretty sure Beyond Good & Evil’s HD re-release, due on the Xbox 360 very soon, is going to play well. We’ve, uh, played the game before. But how it looks will be just as important to some people. And…yep, for a game first released in 2003, it’s looking just fine. The game will also…
Artist Coran “Kizer” Stone is the man to thank for these pieces of Pokémon art, which include trainer Ash getting a little surly and a struggle with a monster that has trouble keeping his bodily functions in check. If you like what you see, you should check out Stone’s deviantArt page, which has not only…
A 60 year-old woman has been arrested and charged with stealing some Wii games while on a shopping trip with her grandchildren. Great example you’re setting there, Gran! Jennie T. Gatses, from Homer Glen, Illinois, was caught by security guards at the local Dominick’s stuffing four cans of crab meat and four Wii games in…
Sony has gone PSP mad today, showing off not only a Final Fantasy bundle, but one for girls, too. And I don’t say that because this is pink. I say it because it’s literally called the “Value Pack For Girls” Due out in Japan in February, the bundle includes a “Blossom Pink” PSP-3000, headphones, a…
In its first sixty days on sale, Microsoft’s Kinect peripheral for the Xbox 360 has sold millions. Actually, that should read millions and millions Obliterating even Microsoft’s own internal wildest dreams, the motion-sensing camera has sold over eight million units since its release late last year. Considering there are “only” 50 million Xbox 360s out…
Dissidia 012 [duodecim] Final Fantasy may have the stupidest name of all Final Fantasies, but it also has one of the prettiest custom PSP consoles to go along with it. This custom PSP-3000 will be released by Sony Japan in March, as part of a bundle that includes the handheld and the game, an upcoming…

Intel showed off today a new processor called “Sandy Bridge”. Awful name, but it’s a promising piece of technology. So promising, in fact, that the boss of Valve was on-hand to pat it on the proverbial back. With the studio developing Portal 2 with the “Sandy Bridge” specifically in mind, Valve boss Gabe Newell took…
Brett Favre may have actually retired this week. For good. To give you an idea of just how long this guy has been playing football, check out what he was doing on draft day back in 1991. Gameface is a photographic celebration of the people who make, play and love video games.

I don’t know what it is about fighting game fans that makes them so passionate about their genre of choice they go and make documentaries about it, but I like it. “Run It Back” is a short doco by Zaid Tabani, which takes a look at a group of Street Fighter players working their way…
We know, Christmas was so last week, but indulge us. This is so good it doesn’t matter what time of the year you watch it. This is “8-Bit Holiday”, by Andrew Jive, and shows what the video game characters of yesteryear get up to in the dead of night while we humans sleep and wait…

Would it be premature to say this already looks like one of 2011’s prettiest games? It’s Voxatron, an indie shooter in development at Lexaloffle. Sure, it’s a bit sparse, but games don’t look good on the basis of how many textures and models you can cram on the screen. They look good by virtue of…
Lenovo – yes, boring old Lenovo – has one of the more interesting gaming-related products on show at this week’s CES: a box that transforms a laptop computer into a pint-sized arcade cabinet. All you do is pop the stick open and there’s room to slide in a laptop. Close it back up and you…
We’ve already seen one way Microsoft’s Kinect can be used to help bedroom game developers, but here’s another, just as practical way: it can allow for home-grown motion capture.

Meet the newest video game console on the market. It’s for kids and casual gamers, looks like a bunch of building blocks and is the most original piece of gaming hardware we’ve seen in years. The Sifteo is the brainchild of former MIT students David Merrill and Jeevan Kalanithi, who wanted to develop a gaming…
Some tools released online overnight claim to allow the installation of “custom firmware” on a PlayStation 3.

According to new documents released today, the ongoing legal battle between the creators of Call of Duty and the franchise’s publishers is beginning to take its toll on those involved.
