Uncharted 3 made its real public debut tonight, with Late Night TV host Jimmy Fallon getting some actual hands-on time with the game. And it’s all a little…awkward. You can’t fault Fallon’s passion for video games, but his impromptu questions (and inability to run up a flight of stairs) don’t work so well with video…
WhiteSilentTiger has a simple goal: create a good-lookin’ little video game forest. I’d say it’s mission accomplished! What’s most impressive about this scene isn’t that it was made by a modder, it’s that it was made using the “old” CryEngine 2, which powered Crysis all the way back in 2007, and not the more recent…
GoldenEye Source, a mod project that’s been in production for over five years, has finally been released. As in, it’s no longer in beta; the hi-def PC port of the classic N64 shooter is now finished While the recent re-release of the game on Wii was a fun piece of nostalgia, the Wii being a…
Next week, the PlayStation Store will be graced with something PS3 owners have been waiting quite a while for: a demo for sci-fi role-playing game Mass Effect 2. There’s no word on just which part of the game you’ll be playing – my money would be on the intro sequence where you meet your Cerberus…
Nintendo may have been around during the Second World War, but it wasn’t making video games. If it was, though, maybe some of its most beloved characters would have looked a little…different. A bunch of artists (two of them, Gavin Goulden and Jorge Lacera, from Irrational Games in Boston) are currently running a little showdown,…
There’s a great piece up on Nintendo designer Shigeru Miyamoto over on the New Yorker, and while we knew much of what’s been written, one thing stands out: the guy’s being forced to drive to work! That’s right, apparently while he used to enjoy walking or riding his bike, these days the suits make him…
Street Fighter and Sesame Street? Mario and Sesame Street worked just fine, so sure, why the hell not. These Sesame Street x Street Fighter designs are available on redbubble, where you can get them as shirts, hoodies or, if you’re a little short on cash, $2.50 stickers. Shame they’re limited to one design per item!…
You’ll usually find something being crammed in a “blister pack” when it’s an action figure or a control pad. You don’t normally see video games shipped that way. But it turns out that in Western Europe (and very rarely Canada), in the 1980s and 1990s, you could find classic Nintendo games encased in plastic, hanging…
This new Tomb Raider game is being hailed as a reboot of the series. Really? If my PC had to be rebooted as many times as this franchise, I’d have thrown it out years ago. Since the 1996 release of the first Tomb Raider, there have been – excluding the handheld and mobile versions and…
This is, wait for it, a making-of clip for a trailer. Silly, we know, but you may want to click play anyways and skip straight to 3:57, because buried amidst the back-slapping is a cool sight. It is, for those who haven’t viewed the “making of” featurettes on the actual Uncharted game dics, a quick…
The Spike Video Game Awards were a great piece of entertainment, weren’t they? We got a Mass Effect 3 trailer, an Elder Scrolls V reveal, an amazing Batman trailer and awards for…hrm… It’s all a bit sad, isn’t it? That we had as big a reveal, and as expensive a collection of trailers as you’ll…
While the reveal of a new Elder Scrolls game was a blast, it wasn’t the best piece of Elder Scrolls news to come out of the weekend. No, the other piece is much more exciting. Bethesda’s Nick Breckon has confirmed that the next game in the fabled role-playing series won’t, as originally suspected, be using…
Sorry, Nathan Drake, but you and your fully-tucked shirt are not the best thing I saw this week for the PlayStation 3. That honour goes to this trailer for Journey. That’s not to say I’m not excited for some big-dollar, blockbuster thrills come late 2011 from the third Uncharted game, but Journey…it’s pushing some buttons,…
The Highlander game in development at Widescreen Games – which, admittedly, we weren’t that excited about – has been cancelled. While no exact reason has been given for the game’s shutdown, it’s probably got something to do with the fact it was originally being published by Eidos, who were in 2009 picked up by Square…
WETA, the special effects team behind the Lord of the Rings Trilogy and District 9, have given Team Fortress 2 developers Valve a very special gift: a sentry gun. That works OK, so it doesn’t shoot bullets, but it is life-size, does move, does track your motion and follows you, and does play authentic sound…
The current “plastic instruments” phase of the music game scene seems to have run its course. Next up must surely be the genre’s logical conclusion: Air Guitar Hero. This concept clip by British artist Chris O’Shea shows what Microsoft’s Kinect could do in the hands of somebody who’s serious about making a rock n’ roll…
While Blizzard do a better job than many other game developers in getting toys based on their games out to the masses, some people still prefer to forgo official figures and make their own stuff. Sculptor and custom toy creator Chris Hooton spent two months making this one-of-a-kind “Queen of Blades” figure, going to such…
Aside from the inclusion of multiplayer, probably the biggest addition to Dead Space 2 is “The Sprawl”, the confined, segmented sections of the first game’s spaceship replaced with the cavernous interior of a space station That’s a lot of ground for our hero Isaac Clarke to cover, so you can excuse him for popping the…
If you’ve got small kids, you may want to keep them away from your iPad or iPhone, as many of the latest games on Apple’s platforms could see them inadvertently racking up a fortune in credit card payments. A report by the Associated Press points out that some of the App Store’s biggest games, like…
Prominence is a first-person game with no shooting. Just clicking, and problem solving, and wandering around the deserted corridors of a science-fiction facility. Interestingly, it’s the product of Digital Media Workshop, a firm that normally specialises in design work, but in this instance is trying to leverage some of that experience into making a video…
