Remember that Battlestar Galactica mod, Diaspora, we showed you a few months back? It’s got a new trailer, and I am weak at the knees. Not only because it’s looking like the Battlestar games of my dreams, but because it’s looking decidedly real, fantastical “trailer money shots” replaced with in-engine and even in-game footage. Diaspora…

Star British tennis player Andy Murray has injured a tendon in his hand after playing a game with doubles partner Dani Vallverdu. A game of Pro Evo, that is. “boselllliiiiiii hahaa I just lost 1 match to dani at the new pro evolution and I think I broke my hand! The new one is so…
Combining a phone and a games machine! Everybody’s doin’ it, right? Not Nintendo. “Certainly we are adding more and more elements to fill out the experience and take away more and more time from competing devices,” Nintendo of America boss Fils-Aime told Forbes. “But our handhelds will always lead with games.” “3DS content will be…
Ask that question 100 times and you’ll get 100 different answers. Lucasarts. Sierra. Bethesda. Valve. Westwood. Ask me 100 times, though, and I’ll give you the same answer 100 times running: Origin. See, while I applaud “specialist” developers – those like Valve who continually progress the one genre or series – to me, if you’re…
Mods are what happens when somebody takes a game, cracks it open and either adds or fixes stuff that wasn’t in the final retail product. They’re a big reason people play PC games, and we want to hear your favourites. For some games, mods are a fun way to tinker with the core title. Fix…
Wait…damn, that didn’t work so well…as seen on The Daily What
Guess Capcom legend Keiji Inafune wasn’t kidding around when he said he hated his job : the Capcom exec said today he’s leaving the company he’s been with for 23 years at the end of the month. His full job title had been Head of R&D Management Group, Consumer Games R&D Division and Contents Management…
One of the key draws of the upcoming Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood is that it includes an all-new city for you to explore: Rome, home to the Vatican and a damn fine cup of coffee. It’s a shame there’s no coffee on offer in the game, then, but the Vatican at least plays a starring role.…
Today’s great PC game you’ve probably never heard of? The Polynomial. Or, as I like to call it, my “just got home from the pub” game. It’s a mathematically-generated space shooter. How’s that work? It plays music in the background, of your choosing, then adjusts the surrounding space to match the rhythm of the track.…
A trailer for a belt? Sounds ridiculous, but we can let it slide when it’s a belt designed (and forged in comic strip form) by Penny Arcade. We can also let it slide because, unlike everything else we’ve ever seen of Dragon Age II, it has a sense of humour about it, something the game…
Just like Nintendo’s handheld games console, Sony’s PlayStation Portable is doing it tough these days, sales of the machine down 50% from what they were at this time last year. Sony handed in its Q2 2010 financial results today, and while the PlayStation 3 enjoyed a slight increase in sales over the three-month period that…
One of the big keys to Blizzard’s success as a PC developer has been its Battle.net system for online multiplayer. Now that Blizzard is shacked up with mega-publisher Activision, could we see non-Blizzard games appear on Battle.net? Don’t bet on it any time soon, but Battle.net project director Greg Canessa tells Gamasutra you can never…

That’s according to AskMen, at any rate, who have picked the Activision boss at number 16 on their list of the 49 most influential men. That’s one spot ahead of NBA superstar Lebron James and one spot below tennis ace Rafael Nadal. Coming in at #1 is comedian Jon Stewart, while right behind him was…
The Xbox never caught on in Japan. The 360 is having problems, too. Ever wonder why? There are any number of reasons why Japan won’t embrace the console now, but let’s go back to the very beginning. “…when I went to Japan to show the console, man, they really had a problem with it. I…
Minecraft, the surprise hit of 2010, is a fairly simple title, happy to leave you to your own devices as you dig, build and die. In the months to come, that’s about to change. Creator Markus “Notch” Persson has told Develop that big changes are on the way for the game, in both its singleplayer…
