At E3 earlier this week, Microsoft unveiled a new 250GB Xbox 360. According to a report on Giant Bomb, there’s also a secret 120GB version available. Popping down to a local Best Buy to pick up one of the new consoles, Tested.com’s Will Smith was charged $279 for his 360, not the $299 it should…
In broad terms, the new Xbox 360 “S” model is the same as the previous console; it plays the same games, does the same stuff. But under the hood, there have been changes, and mostly for the better. AnandTech have put the new Xbox to the test, comparing it to three previous iterations of the…
There was a Pac-Man cartoon series in the 1980s. All things considered, it wasn’t that bad! Now, Namco Bandai wants to make a new series. For the 21st century. Avi Arad, former Marvel Studios CEO, has a pitch to reinvent the arcade hero in a new 3D series, which would see Pac-Man – a high…
First revealed prior to E3, Frozenbyte’s Trine 2 had its first trailer released earlier this week. Here it is, and if you were hoping it would look like Trine only nicer, you’re on the right track.
From what we hear, Yakuza 4 will make the journey to the West in a far more complete state than its predecessor. And I loved its predecessor, so this all sounds super.
Sadly, there are no official videos of the Nintendo 3DS in its full three-dimensional glory. Instead, we’ll have to watch fake ones! The game may be fake, but the 3D effect is real, so grab a pair of glasses and pretend it’s actually Mario Kart. Actually, don’t. Freddie Kart Super Circuit looks way better. Thank…
Buried inside Sony’s press packs for this year’s E3 is this black & red PSP-3000, which will form part of a bundle to coincide with the release of God of War: Ghost of Sparta. I think it would be better as a bundle to coincide with the A-Team. Or old Air Jordans.
Day three of E3 saw the flood of big news slow to a trickle, giving us all time to sit down and spend some quality times with the games on the showroom floor. Some of these impressions were posted today, others are to come in the days ahead, so stay tuned over the weekend for…
Burker King’s cheap 360 games a few years back were a surprise success. Now that Kinect is due in stores for the holiday season, the food giant wants to take a second bite of the Xbox market. While exact details on the style or number of games aren’t being disclosed until later in the year,…
Kirby is actually getting his own Wii game, Kirby’s Epic Yarn. And with all that wool flying around everywhere, it’s making me feel very warm on this cold antipodean evening. Click to view
Yes, the actual game never looks this good. That’s how it’s always been with Gran Turismo, and it’s how it will be with Gran Turismo 5. Just think of these as great pictures and we’ll get along just fine. These shots highlight the game’s Italian and Spanish tracks, the Top Gear test track from the…
Darksiders, one of the surprise hits of 2010, has done enough to deserve a sequel, publishers THQ revealing this week that Darksiders 2 will be out in 2012. That’s a while away, I know, but it’s also enough time to do a proper sequel, not your standard “crank out a new story on the same…
That PlayStation Move gun sure looks…interesting, doesn’t it? I can see the reason it exists. As the Wii has shown, this kind of motion control is calling out for shooting titles. But does it have to look like an old prop from Star Trek: The Next Generation?
It’s been nearly six years since Counter-Strike: Source, a fancy revamp of the original Counter-Strike, was released on PC. Next week, Macs will finally get in on the action. Valve says today that, despite the hustle and bustle of E3, there’s obviously enough lackeys left behind at the company’s headquarters to work on getting the…
Okamiden, a DS successor to PS2/Wii classic Okami, seemed like a good idea at the time. Now there’s a 3D Nintendo handheld, though, does anyone else wish the game was destined for that platform instead?
Brink, Splash Damage’s promising take on blending single and multiplayer gaming, has now been delayed until 2011. Bummer. To get us all through the wait, here are some new screens for the game.
OnLive is either the future of video gaming come early, or snake oil dressed as cloud computing. What will determine which it ends up being is up to you, the user, and with the service now live, is anyone using? The switch on the service was flicked earlier today, meaning anyone that wants to use…
As one E3 ends, planning for another begins. Circle your calendars, kids. If you already have a 2011 calendar, that is. And if you do, well done. You’re organised.
While we’ve seen pictures of the Nintendo 3DS in black, red and blue, there are two other colours on display on E3’s showroom floor: a garish shade of orange, and a garish shade of purple. They look more like the kind of colours Sony would use on a Japan-exclusive PSP, but then seeing as these…
Initial estimates had the amount of oil spilling into the Gulf of Mexico at 25,000 barrels a day. This clip, made using the same engine that powers many of today’s biggest games, shows how much oil that really is. And that’s only 25,000. When you consider that, a few months later, the best guess is…
