If you thought the recent Street Fighter movie was bad, spare a thought for the King of Fighters movie, which is even worse Not that this is a bad thing. It looks so bad that it’s worth a watch, if friends and booze were involved. Just…leave your feelings for King of Fighters – and Maggie…
Classy coffee tables are classy, but also boring. What they need is exactly what this one has: a cleverly-disguised set of professional arcade cabinet components. The Arcane table, from Surface Tensions, looks at first glance to be a glass-topped coffee table. But there’s a slide-out drawer in the side, which houses a very fetching controller…
Some of those at PAX over the weekend got to see a new gameplay clip of Infamous 2. Since that likely wasn’t you, here it is! I’m not the biggest fan of Infamous – in particular the “rubbery” feel of Cole – but I do appreciate promotional clips in 2010 comprised entirely of gameplay footage.
Microsoft has tonight officially revealed a new Xbox 360 hardware bundle, almost a month to the day it was inadvertently leaked via some packaging shots The bundle includes a 250GB Xbox 360 S console, the Kinect motion-control camera and a copy of Kinect Adventures. You get all that for $399 (or £300 if you’re in…
There were some who scoffed at Dead Rising: Case Zero, amused at what they considered to be a paid demo. After hundreds of thousands of sales over the past week, though, who’s laughing now? Capcom’s Dead Rising 2 prequel, which in the US cost an approachable $5, was deemed by plenty to be worth the…
The majority of this clip for The Old Republic shows everything that is wrong with both Star Wars’ expanded universe and the drudgery of MMOs. Until, that is, the last ten seconds. Then it reminds us of everything that was once good about Star Wars video games.
There’s been criticism that Microsoft’s Kinect suffers from lag. But what about Sony’s rival PlayStation Move? How laggy is it? In a FAQ section on the PlayStation Blog, Sony come close to actually putting a number on the thing, stating “The PlayStation Move has similar sensing latency as the DUALSHOCK 3 controller – for many…
Sounds like expanding the amount of showroom floorspace for the 2010 Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle has paid dividends, with a new attendance record set for the weekend’s festivities Last year, 60,750 turned up for a weekend of video games and more video games, but this year, Penny Arcade’s Robert Khoo has told Big Download…

This is a sequel of sorts to 2009’s amazing “8-Bit Trip”, by Swedes remdreglade. They’re back, with a new name (Ninja Moped) and a mind-blowing series of “gameplay” videos of NES games made with nothing but LEGO. As an added bonus, the clips double as trivia contests. Can you name every game you see before…
If you can speak the language – or justify spending big money on a game box – check out Japan’s fancy slip-cover edition of Metroid: Other M. You can dress or undress her face as often as you like, with a neat sliding cover meaning you can swap between casual attire Samus and Power Suit…
Even if you don’t like the Armored Core series as a series, you have to admit, those giant mechs look pretty cool. And toys based on those giant mechs are pretty great, too. This is Evangel’s CREST CR-C89E ORACLE VER. (the caps is theirs, I’m not that excited), which stands 7.5 inches tall and will…
Multiplayer gaming is hard enough when you can talk to your colleagues, but trying to achieve some kind of cohesion with zero communication? It’s madness. Yet that’s what the aim of Swarmation is. You’re thrown into a multiplayer scenario in which you control a single pixel. There are dozens of other pixels, controlled by other…
We’re not sure the exact moment Left 4 Dead 2 cosplay took a turn towards choreograph city, but we like it (thanks Jose!)
There’s a reason Sony wants so badly to block jailbreak device’s access: now that the code for the things is out there, people were using everything from mobile phones to calculators to get at their PlayStation 3s. In these videos, you’ll see variants of the PSGroove being run on the Nokia N900, a Palm Pre…
BioShock Infinite looked pretty great from what we saw in its cinematic trailer. Now let’s now see how the in-game shots stand up. It’s bloomy! And also delightfully colourful, the dank, depressing depths of Rapture giving way to something so cheery Nintendo would be proud to race little karts around it. Here are two screens;…
Well, that didn’t take long. Sony has just pushed out a firmware update for the PlayStation 3, with users reporting that it “breaks” devices like the PSJailbreak Able to circumvent the PlayStation 3’s copy protection and allow users to run games installed to a hard drive, a flood of these jailbreak contraptions have hit markets…
Microsoft’s Kinect doesn’t need a controller. That’s the whole point of the thing! Still, a controller-free gaming experience is a hard idea to get your head around, which perhaps explains why Peter Molyneux and Rare asked Microsoft to include one. “We were absolutely adamant that we needed a button, something with haptic feedback, that would…
Google’s Android platform has a cute little robot logo, but what’s this? The inspiration behind it is not, as I first thought, Metal Mickey, but is actually a Gauntlet game? Oh, this is too good. Take a look at the video below, for Gauntlet: The Third Encounter. It’s not just the appearance that’s similar, it’s…
