Here’s another reason EA may have ditched the “Taliban” from Medal of Honor’s multiplayer: if the publisher had lost US Army support for the game, they may never have been able to run this ad! It doesn’t do much for us as a game trailer, but for the average consumer watching it (it’s a TV…
Before Lucasarts came along, the top adventure game minds in the world worked for a now-defunct publisher called Sierra. This coffee table book collects the art from those games, and I am now feeling very nostalgic. Called, strangely enough, “The Art Of Sierra“, it’s been a secret project of Sierra fans Brandon Klassen and Eriq…
The Wii might not be able to play DVDs, but this crusty old Nintendo Entertainment System has no such dramas. OK, so the Wii can play DVDs if you know your way around the darker sides of console modification, but a Wii playing a DVD lacks the charm that popping open a NES to watch…
No longer with Sonic Team, Yuji Naka can still dream. Though “Ivy The Kiwi? Success Spurs Dreamcast 2 Development” would be one hell of a headline to be writing come 2013. Via CVG
Keita Takahashi, the creator of Katamari Damacy who recently left Namco Bandai, has started a new company with his wife Asuka Sakai (who is a composer) called uvula. Takahashi says the new company is for freelance work, and that while their “center of works” include music (as well as playground design), they’ll also be working…
This is the third FIFA game since September 2009. It’s the 19th game in the FIFA series. You’d be forgiven for looking at FIFA 11 and thinking “I am getting bored with this”. Football fans with attention deficits are being looked after, then, with FIFA 11 adding a new passing system, more noticeable player “personalities”,…
What better way to cap off the working week than with this Vanquish trailer, showing a man in a mechanical suit punching a giant robot’s head off.
Shortly after Halo: Reach was released, users found a way to earn cheap, easy in-game credits via an exploit. Some people, though, had to take it too far. Now, the exploit itself, if you’ve got the patience for it, that’s fine. But 15,000 players have been found to have gone overboard on the exploit via…
Blizzard’s Real ID system, whereby users could share an account over several services using their actual name, seemed like a good idea to some, didn’t exactly go down too well with many others Now those who first thought it was a good idea, and now don’t, can get rid of it, with Blizzard revealing a…
Nope. That’s not a high resolution screenshot of Mass Effect’s Garrus. It’s the latest instalment in “Mass Effect Cosplayers Blow Our Socks Off“. Cosplayer ammnra built this Garrus outfit that shakes the heavens with its amazingness, as almost everything is spot-on, from the chicken legs to the three-fingered gloves to battle damage to his trademark…
Master LEGOsmith Fredoichi made this Pikachu for his little girl. Adorable, in a bricky kind of way.
A man in Salt Lake was assaulted and robbed earlier this week while he was playing a “computer game online”. Like, literally: his friends could hear over the mic that he was being beaten up, so they rushed to help. The unnamed victim was playing games online (the report doesn’t specify which platform) when a…
Oh, sorry, he said Tier 1. It’s just, for all the slow-motion and bullet casings and dramatic score, the one thing I remember about this trailer is that glorious, fleeting glimpse of beard around 18 seconds in. He’s like a Viking with an assault rifle. Or the ghost of Full Throttle, back to blame the…
A bunch of webcomic artists have got together and drawn up some self-portraits. Well, they’d be self-portraits if the artists were Pokémon, instead of humans. You can find them over on the Portrait-Dex, with some of the artists including Octopus Pie’s Meredith Gran and Dresden Codak’s Aaron Diaz. I love how the majority of them…
The 2010 edition of the World Cyber Games got underway in Los Angeles yesterday, with around 450 gamers from nearly 60 countries competing for a few hundred thousand bucks worth of prize money. A total of $250,000 is up for grabs, with “athletes” competing in games like Guitar Hero 5, Tekken 6, Warcraft III, FIFA…
One of the more useful ways the Nintendo 3DS will be able to interact with Miis is its ability to take a person’s picture then automatically generate an avatar based on the results. Here’s that feature in action. As you can see, all you need to do is take a photo of your (or someone…
As warned, Blizzard today swept through the Starcraft II playerbase with knives at the ready, banning or suspending the accounts of thousands of players caught using hack programs or other forms of cheating. The final count was “over 5000” players, Blizzard reminding everyone that it’s not just the spirit of fair play that’s in trouble…
The good news? Beyond Good & Evil is getting a high definition makeover on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The better news? Here are the game’s first screenshots. I’m glad Ubisoft has resisted the urge to mess with stuff. Sure, Jade’s lips and outfit were kinda stupid even all the way back in 2003, but…
