If you want to dress in the spirit of Red Dead Redemption, if not literally in a tattered hat and poncho, Rockstar has you covered with this official flannel shirt. It’s a collaboration between the developer and label Barking Irons, which sees a limited run of the red & black shirts available on Rockstar’s website…
First revealed earlier today, here’s a teaser trailer for a project code-named Kingdoms, which is what happens when the Crysis guys watch Spartacus one too many times. I can’t remember the last time I heard so many words fail to tell me anything
Yesterday, I thought Kinect’s Star Wars game looked pretty interesting! Oh, what a difference a day and some extra footage makes. An extended version of yesterday’s clip turned up today, and showed actual gameplay footage. This isn’t a revolution in motion-control gaming. It’s a 21st-century Rebel Assault. Nothankyou.jpg.
Sure, it’s not the most exciting part of Kinect’s launch later this year, but Video Kinect may ultimately prove to be one of the device’s most practical applications. It’s essentially Skype, allowing people to video chat over Xbox Live, with the addition of a few neat features like media sharing and local weather reports. Because…
Platinum’s Vanquish looks like the anti-Gears of War; a third-person shooter that’s all bright colours and fast motion. Oh, and missiles! Lots and lots of missiles. You can count them all in these screenshots if you like, but I warn you, you’ll be at it for hours Vanquish’s development is being headed up by Resident…
Ubisoft’s I Am Alive has long been a vapourware suspect, the length of time since we last heard anything about it leading some to suspect it had ended up on the development scrapheap. But now there’s this trailer… It’s turned up online overnight, and since it wasn’t mentioned during Ubisoft’s press event, it has me…
Good news, everyone! This holiday season, Xbox Live will be officially launching in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, the Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Poland, Russia and South Africa.
There’s a beta coming real soon for EA’s Medal Of Honor reboot. Gold stars are going out to anyone who thought it would look just like Battlefield Bad Company. Not that that’s a bad thing, of course, as this looks like a blast. Click to view
It’s a good thing Warner Bros. now owns the rights to both the Lord of the Rings books and movies. It means they can do stuff like this, which is a little bit of both. The “War in the North” is barely touched upon in either books or the films, but this game makes that…
This clip, promoting Microsoft’s Xbox Live Summer Of Arcade, has footage of every game that’ll be coming out over a five-week span beginning next month. You’re probably here for the Castlevania footage, though. The Harmony of Despair section of this ad is our first look at the new Castlevania game in motion, and it looks…
While the rest of the team toil away at press conferences and cocktail parties, I’m still here in Australia. On the other side of the planet. Know what that means? Yup, our E3 coverage will continue right through the night! There’s plenty more news, videos and screenshots to be had from today’s Microsoft, EA and…
Hey, there’s a new Rayman game! And it’s in 2D. You can watch a trailer here
While the change to regular Xbox 360 cover art was a slight one, Microsoft has something a little more drastic in mind for Kinect games: purple boxes. Yes, breaking from a tradition that dates back to the launch of the original Xbox, Kinect titles won’t ship in Microsoft’s trademark green DVD case. They’ll instead ship…
Éric Chahi is famous for having single-handedly developed Another World, a 1991 platformer that was as gorgeous as it was atmospheric. This is his new game: Project Dust. It’s clear that while technology has moved on in the years since Another World, Chahi’s ability to create unique alien worlds is as fresh as ever. Dust…
I’ve never been the biggest fan of Castlevania series, but boy oh boy, these screenshots for the newly-confirmed Castlevania HD – as in, Harmony of Despair – are some of the most glorious examples of pixel art you’ll ever see. Let’s just hope they look as good in motion when the game’s released next month.
Battle Tag barely qualifies as a video game – it seems to have more in common with old “multimedia” board games like Nightmare – but hey, Ubisoft is releasing it, so here you go. It’s essentially Laser Tag, with four guns and sensor packs used by players running around the real world shooting each other.…
Sega Rally creator Tetsuya Mizuguchi is probably most loved for his 2001 synaesthetic shooter, Rez. This is Child of Eden, which will be published by Ubisoft. Same guy, same game, just for the PlayStation Move and Kinect. I’m not reaching with that statement. Gameplay looks identical, and even sounds identical (listen closely for Rez’s targeting…
When Kinect is released in November, Microsoft will add a “Kinect Hub” to the dashboard to make better use of the controller. This is what that hub will look like, and if you think it’s familiar, that’s because it is The incredibly simple, bold grid-based system on display is very similar to that used by…
Halo: Reach is out soon (September), so the time for fancy pre-rendered cutscenes is over. This E3 trailer, then, is all gameplay (or at least all in-engine). And yes, there are space battles. Yes, for the first time in the series, you’ll be able to pilot a space craft and blow up stuff in orbit.…
The tagline reads “Fable III: It’s A Revolution”. Sounds a little pompous, sure, but then we wouldn’t expect anything less from a Peter Molyneux game. I wasn’t the biggest fan of Fable II, but this looks a little more elaborate, a little more ambitious. That and I’m a sucker for muskets and steamships. Click to…
