It’s easy to forget these days with Nintendo trying so hard to look all adult and stylish, but in the early 1990s, the company was anything but. Allow this montage of footage from Club Mario (a short “comedy” section of the The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!) serve as a reminder that not only did…
While Kinect launches all across the US tonight, the peripheral’s official bash was in New York City, where Marky Mark, Microsoft and an enormous army of purple-shirted dancers overran Times Square.
Apocalypse simulator Darksiders was released in January 2010. The action/RPG game will be getting a sequel, but we hope you’re willing to wait, because it might not be here until 2013 Brian Farrell, CEO of the game’s publisher THQ, said this morning during an earnings call that the sequel to one of 2010’s sleeper hits…
The traditional “news-previews-reviews” games magazine is a dying beast, but the idea of a magazine based on video games is still one worth saving. It just has to be done right. Like Amusement. Or in this case, Kill Screen. Onto its second issue now, Kill Screen is the latest magazine to make the smart decision…
This video begins slowly, tricking you into thinking it’s the inconsequential ramblings of a fanboy, but as soon as you hear a Russian accent drawl “I’m going to shoot it with a few guns”, things get interesting. True to his word, the lad (who dearly loves his firearms) lays down a PC copy of Activision’s…
What the hell, Sony must have thought. If people are happy to sing along to a video game at parties, they’ll be happy to dance along too, right? SingStar Dance is Sony’s attempt at reinvigorating its once-flagship casual gaming series by introducing the PlayStation Move to the game, which allows up to two people to…
Super Meat Boy? More Like Super Meat Man. Bro. By DavidRapozaArt, as seen on Rampaged Reality
To: Brian From: Luke I’ll keep this brief, because it’s late, and manning the night shift by yourself gets you beat But I found out today that, if the baby gets upset while we’re driving (admittedly a rare occurence), she is INSTANTLY silenced, then quickly put to sleep, by one song and one song only:…
Resident Evil: Degeneration, Capcom’s 2008 animated zombie flick, has a follow-up film called Resident Evil: Damnation. Confusing! Sure, serious fans won’t have any issues, but that’s a lot of “D” and “-ation” for two separate movies that are both about people being torn apart by zombies. Damnation won’t be out until 2012, so to keep…
Let’s see, recently we’ve had Battlefield Bad Company, Battlefield Bad Company 2, Battlefield 1943 and Battlefield Heroes. We’ll soon have Battlefield 3. But did you know there’s another game in the franchise on the way? EA’s Ben Cousins hit Twitter yesterday and wrote this: Don’t forget, DICE – the Battlefield series’ main developers – have…
A reader sent us this promo sleeve for the PlayStation 3 Bluetooth headset earlier this week, which now appears to be sporting a slimmer, sleeker design than the original model Not only has the ear clasp been made thinner, but the front buttons and indicators have been cleaned up too. The material also clearly states…
Don’t judge this clip on its awkward, shirtless intro. Judge it on the pitch-perfect camera angles (GRAB THAT PEANUT BUTTER!!!) and choreography as God of War’s Kratos engages in his deadliest QTE battle yet. [via technabob]
I didn’t put much time into the console versions of Battlefield 1943 because I was waiting for the PC edition. Thing is, nearly a year-and-a-half later, I’m still waiting. What’s up with that? “We are obviously working on the PC platform and we’ll be ready to talk about that shortly”, EA’s Patrick Soderlund tells Eurogamer.…
The materials used to make a console mod like this are fairly simple: some mirrors, something to cut your 360 case with and some LED lights. But the effect is fantastic. While the clip above was posted by a commercial venture, those with experience in modifying Xbox 360 consoles shouldn’t have too much trouble cooking…
Starcraft II developers Blizzard held a little competition over the Halloween weekend to see which of their fans could come up with the best pumpkin carving. To say this guy “won” would be selling his achievement short. This Zerg Overlord, from San Rafael’s Ian Fisher, isn’t just a pumpkin. It’s several, cut up and carved…
You know how the cutscenes in the LEGO Star Wars games are funnier and more charming than the actual movies they’re based on (especially the prequels)? Here’s one long LEGO Star Wars cutscene, re-telling the story of episodes IV-VI. It’s been made by Danish production firm M2FILM, and is the latest in their series of…
While Sony is yet to make official mention of an all-new PlayStation Portable, one of the biggest publishers in the world has no qualms confirming they’ve “had exposure” to the new handheld. Asked “Have you had any exposure at all to the PSP2?” by website CVG, EA’s Patrick Soderlund replied “Well, obviously as a developer…
For all its pre-release swagger and marketing might, EA’s recent Medal of Honor reboot, well, sucked. I think so, many of you think so (though not everyone!), and now even staffers at Electronic Arts are getting down on the game. “I’m not going to comment on the sales because EA has an earnings report going…
Namco Bandai America yesterday let go around 90 staff, in a move that doesn’t just cut costs at the U.S. branch of the Pac-Man publisher, but will also see local development shifted back to Japan. Some of the losses are the result of a merger between the company’s online and mobile divisions, while others are…
