With its latest expansion Cataclysm having been out for a few days now, the hardcore World of Warcraft players have already bought it and are exploring its many changes. Those who haven’t, you are being tempted by free game time. Anyone who has bought either of the game’s last two expansions – Burning Crusade or…
Couldn’t Lucasarts take a Telltale game and give it a retro touch? It only seems fair, considering the modern updates for Sam & Max and Monkey Island! By Jinn
Just Cause, a game series starring a swarthy man bathed in tight shirts and explosions, was always going to get a film adaptation. Thankfully, that adaptation sounds faithful to the games. Well, as faithful as you could get. The game’s racial stereotypes will never make the big screen, nor the specifics from a pair of…
Game For Cats has a title that’s about as literal as they come. It’s a game. For cats. It’s nothing fancy — just a few variations of “something is moving quickly around the screen” — but that’s simple enough for a cat. Because remember: this game is not for humans. It’s for cats. It’s a…
You know, for all the Gran Turismos and Forzas and Need For Speeds of the past couple of years, my favourite racing game over that time has actually been Dirt 2. So, yeah, Dirt 3 is of interest. OK, it’s eXtrEme sPOrts angle can get a little tiresome at times, but few racing games look…
There have been whispers on the internet winds for a while now about a Blizzard project named “Titan“, supposedly the company’s follow-up to the world-conquering World of Warcraft. Well, Blizzard is now speaking a little louder on the subject. “The media is not meant to know anything about [Titan].”, World of Warcraft executive producer Frank…
Christmas is a time for looking back at the year passed, processing what’s been most important for you over the past twelve months. For me, and video games, one such thing was — surprisingly — Xbox Live Arcade game Toy Soldiers. I’m not normally one for shouting “UNDERRATED!” about a game, because it’s a pointless…
December. 1999. Two brothers are about to embark on a roller-coaster of emotions that, while sharing some things in common with the famous “Nintendo 64 kid“, aren’t quite as joyous. Which is fitting, considering they asked for a Dreamcast. If you’re impatient, head straight to the 0:50 mark for a tale that’s as bittersweet as…
It seems like an age ago, but the whole WikiLeaks furore kicked off earlier this year with footage of American forces shooting Iraqi civilians. The offending chopper pilots were accused, appropriately, of behaving like they were playing a video game San Francisco artist Sandwich takes this accusation and runs with it, overlaying stills from the…
Darts, boxes, porno…Snake’s bag of tricks won’t work on this guy. By hokunin
By books, thanks Krakenstein!
Unboxings. They’re a little strange for contemporary games or products, since those taking an interest will surely be opening one themselves soon enough. But unboxing old games? That’s like cracking open a time capsule, and feasting on the history within. This is my original copy of 1993’s Day of the Tentacle, which has been coming…
I loved Civilization V, but it was not a game without its problems. The longer you played it, the more it became apparent that the AI wasn’t quite as sharp as it should have been. This enormous patch should help. It’s simply too vast to drop in its entirety here, so simply know that almost…
Square Enix, who don’t just make video games but also detailed action figures, looks to be set to add to its line of Metal Gear Solid toys. Series creator Hideo Kojima posted photos of new prototype figures. It’s unclear whether this is one figure with interchangeable heads or a line with similar bodies, but in…
Infinity Blade is easily the best-looking game on the iPhone. Originally, though, it would have just been average-looking, as it wasn’t destined for Apple’s handheld at all. Instead, it was first drawn up as a game for Microsoft’s Kinect. “We always have some cool ideas on deck, and kind of the inception of Infinity Blade…
This may be the sweetest wedding proposal I’ve ever seen. Sid Ceaser, Muppet fan, had two puppets made, one in his likeness, the other, his girlfriend’s. Then he made a movie with them. Then he had the clip played at the movies. Sitting in the crowd, Sid’s girlfriend Sara instantly saw the likeness, and at…
Continuing their run of excellent shows about bringing games into the real world, Rooster Teeth’s latest episode of Immersion looks at how well we’d fare if we had to live our lives in 2D. Using an impressive array of gadgetry, the team are able to rig up a pair of glasses that show a person…
Easy answer would be “play games, stupid”. But as our consoles do more and more besides just play games, it’s interesting to see exactly what we’re doing with them (and for how long) when we’re not killing/racing/solving something. Research firm Nielsen conducted a nation-wide survey in October, aimed at determining what percentage of time people…
Sick of being neglected by MIcrosoft and ignored by most consumers, developers of indie games for Xbox Live Arcade went and had a little uprising. So was it a success? Well… The original plan was to have 14 games released during the early days of December, a smorgasbord of independent talent that was supposed to…
