Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime, in an interview with Forbes, also says he’s played Dragon Quest IX for 150 hours. Get back to work, you slacker!
Minecraft’s Halloween update will bring a new portal system to the game, courtesy of a new dimension, tentatively-titled “Hell”. Sounds cushy! Such convenience, however, comes at a price. This new dimension will be guarded by a new monster type, called the Ghast. It’s a floaty jellyfish thing that shoots fireballs, which explode when they hit…
With Blizzcon raging, Blizzard games are on a lot of people’s minds. Even the guys who make custom action figures. Sabretooth built this Jim Raynor piece out of an old “Iron Man Hulk Buster” toy. It stands seven inches tall, and looks more than dirty enough to pass for the real thing. Starcraft II Marine…
Fallout: New Vegas will ask each and every one of you a very simple question: If a game breaks every 10 minutes, can you still enjoy it? And it’s a tough one. Because when Fallout: New Vegas — a sequel of sorts to 2008’s Fallout 3, only this time you play as a courier shot…
This might be the prettiest on-rails racing (or avoiding?) game we’ve ever seen. It’s a limited genre, sure, made up mostly of awful mid-90s games that relied a little too heavily on FMV sequences, but still. Let’s not rain on Proun’s parade. It’s the work of Joost van Dongen (one of the devs behind De…
Helm, an exhibition kicking off in Melbourne, Australia tonight, is all about one thing: sticking giant masks onto small kids. Who may or may not also have giant heads. Artist Ben Guy (note: a friend of mine) has drawn from Macross to M.A.S.K. and everything in between. And we love it. Big-headed Roy Fokker? Giant-face…
Portal gags are usually overplayed, we know, but this tattoo-inspired piece was too pretty to ignore. By Jimiyo, available later today on Teefury
Game consoles! We used to just play games on them, but in this 21st century of the future, it seems plenty of you are now watching movies and TV shows on them as well. Ever since the PlayStation 2 doubled as many people’s first DVD player, the amount of non-gaming media consumed on consoles has…
Andrew Huang wrote a book a few years back called Hacking The Xbox. He’s an expert on the subject. He’s such an expert, in fact, that federal prosecutors are trying to stop him testifying in a mod chip court case. Courtesy of a report on Wired, Matthew Crippen is facing three years in prison if…
You know, normally when I see a corny trailer for a corny fan film, I’ll mash that stop button like it was handing out gold coins. But there’s something about Fallout flick Nuka Break that feels…passable. I think it’s the fact Fallout itself is so absurd. A series that’s able to be both so bleak…
Peter Molyneux, boss of Lionhead Studios, indulges in a little public humility. He’s being a little hard on himself. Magic Carpet was pretty damn great.
I maintain this isn’t a “real” game. I think somebody, somewhere was taking the piss until publisher Majesco actually took the bait, is actually releasing it, and now it’s all gotten a little awkward. Babysitting Mama is a babysitting game for the Wii, where you cram a Wii Remote inside a baby and…do babysitting stuff.…
When Obsidian slip a little Star Wars into Fallout: New Vegas. Reader Jon was on the ol’ dusty trail outside of Nipton when he ran into these two corpses, named after Luke Skywalker’s very dead uncle and aunt from Star Wars: Episode IV Now all we need is for somebody to find Tosche Station somewhere…
It’s been sadly overlooked by all the hoopla surrounding the 25th anniversary of the NES and Super Mario Bros., but this week was also the 25th anniversary of another classic gaming console: the Sega Master System. The machine that began life as the Sega Mark III before assuming its more famous moniker was first released…
I mean, there’s already LEGO Star Wars. There’s even LEGO Star Wars based on a video game. Why not go one better and make some LEGO: Knights of the Old Republic? I don’t mean a game. Just the LEGO. Stephan de Prouw made both of these, the big one being a Hammerhead-class cruiser, the small…
The PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the Michael Jackson game – which are Move and Kinect compatible respectively – have been delayed into 2011. The DS, PSP and Wii versions will still be out in November. Shamon! The Michael Jackson Experience enables players to learn, copy and crib The King of Pop’s moves. Check…
Nintendo of Australia has shown off a new bundle it will be releasing later this month that, while keeping the price of the Wii the same as it currently is, throws in a little more bang for your buck. Right now, a Wii costs AUD$299 (USD$295). Starting October 28, though, this new pack will go…
Square Enix’s Halo Reach figures are larger and more detailed than those offered by rival company McFarlane. Let’s see just how detailed in these beauty shots of the upcoming toys. There’ll be three figures available in the second volume of Square Enix’s series: big man Gorge, Noble Team’s leader Carter and ol’ chicken arm herself,…
The Ball used to be a mod for Unreal Tournament 3, but its concept turned out to be neat enough to warrant a full retail release on Steam This is the game’s latest trailer, showing the kinds of puzzles (and battles) you can expect, and I’m sold. Then again, I’m normally sold on anything that…
Wondering what happens to Master Chief after the events of Halo 3? He got old. And sick This great piece of fan art by Chris Pollitt, put together for a Comicon concept art challenge, shows the star of the Halo series in his declining years, decades of battle having taken their toll on his spirts…
