Having hummed along quietly for around a year now since being picked up by Valve, IceFrog – developers of the popular “Defence of the Ancients Allstars” scenario for Warcraft III – seem to be making progress on their latest work. Actor Jon St. John, who you’d know as the voice behind Duke Nukem, took to…
Santiago Gonzalez has been working on the kind of indie game we don’t normally expect from an indie developer: a real-time strategy game set in the present day. Called Bloody Desert, things are looking a little rough in the demo video above, but hey, it’s an indie game, so you shouldn’t be expecting World In…
Dragon Age II on PC may be retaining its strategic combat mode, but there are other PC-specific features that won’t be included in the game’s sequel. In an interview with French magazine Joystick, BioWare’s Mike Laidlaw has revealed that the “Baldur’s Gate” camera perspective available to PC owners in the first game won’t be returning…
The patent for Microsoft’s motion-sensing camera Kinect was released to the public last week, and while we knew most of the stuff contained within, I’d be lying if I said I knew the device could recognise sign language. But it does. At least, according to the patent it does (things may have changed since, we’re…
Rickroll? So 2009. 2010 is all about the Crysisroll. Garry’s Mod may be the most common source of these kind of custom user-made videos, but Crytek’s Crysis editor, Sandbox, can certainly hold its own. [thanks Leon!]
First there was God of War, then Sly, now it appears two more franchises are taking their PlayStation 2 entries and tarting them up for a release on the PlayStation 3. Amazon France has listings for trilogy boxsets for both Splinter Cell and Prince of Persia, saying that both are set to appear on Sony’s…
Carrianne Howard wanted to design video games, so she enrolled in a course at a for-profit college. She’s ended up as a stripper. Why? Becuse despite lofty promises made by the college, the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale (which is part-owned by disgraced financial giants Goldman Sachs), she never found work as a games designer.…
You can keep your raft-paddling and dance dancing. I’m hanging out for Kinect’s moustache-twiddling minigame compilation. As seen on the USPTO
For those who simply cannot wait until they play the game, here’s Fable III’s cinematic intro sequence. Compulsive chicken-kickers, this one goes out to you.
Were one game from 2010 selected to be turned into LEGO – and Mass Effect 2 turned down the chance – I’d like to think that Red Dead Redemption would be next in line. Because beneath all the manliness and staring and lonely sunsets and shooting, it’s a game about fantastic characters doing battle in…
I’ve clicked on a lot of Thors in my time with Starcraft II, but I’ve never heard one talk back to me like this one does at around the 1:00 mark. Actually, I’ve never heard half this stuff – only endless repetitions of IM HEAVY METAAHL – so thank you, Starcraft tinkerers, for unleashing the…
Sony has revealed a Gran Turismo 5 collector’s edition that is even more elaborate than the American one. It’s a lot more expensive, too. You get the following: * Metal sculpted box finished in SLS AMG Obsidian Black * Exclusive GT branded SLS AMG 1:43 model car * GT leather wallet containing Signature Edition competition…
Some screenshots for the new Mortal Kombat game, previously only available in Game Informer magazine, have now been posted online for the millions of you who gave up on paper long ago. They’re as violent and bloody as you’d expect, and the faithfulness to not only old characters but old levels will be appreciated by…
I’d imagine most people picking up Civilization V will know exactly what they’re getting themselves into, but just in case you don’t, you can always check out the demo that will be released in September ahead of the game’s release. Actually, I’d imagine many people picking the game up regardless will be interested in seeing…
24 Hours Marston is a comic by Eric “Kafka” Feurstein, depicting the kind of things Red Dead hero John Marston gets up to in a day on the frontier. It’s a fairly hit-and-miss comic, but when it hits – normally when truly nailing some of the game’s lovable absurdities – it hits. You can find…
Team Ninja’s Metroid: Other M is a new look for Metroid’s gameplay, but Samus? She’s largely the same, leaving a new look for her character to come from fans. By iwaisan, via 4CR
Digital download sales might be the future of gaming, but they’re certainly not the present, with a recent study finding that between 80-90% of games bought are still those that come on a disc and are sold in a store. This means that, at a rough estimate, 10-20% of total sales are of the digital…
The kids (and grown-ups) at Waterloo Labs in Austin, Texas have come up with a way for us to play video games with nothing but our eyes Blink, look left and look right replace things like press A and push left. Sure, it looks a little janky at first. And also looks slightly useless. But…
You hear a lot of talk about shares in Nintendo, but have you ever wondered what one actually looks like? It looks a little something like this. Thanks, Snacky
Last month we took a close look at a new version of classic board game Settlers of Catan, one being readied for Microsoft’s giant touch-screen computer. Since then, a new build of the game has been released. God this stuff looks good. It really is the best of both worlds; the social intimacy of a…
