Last week, former stuntman Simon Crane was directing the Kane & Lynch movie. But that was last week! This week, word is he’s off the project, leaving the movie without a director only two months before it starts production. That’s according to a report on film site Latino Review, which says Crane “wasn’t working out”…
Kirk Ewing, from PlayStation Home developer Veemee (who make virtual spaces and items), reckons Sony’s underwhelming virtual network service will be emerging from its long-running beta at the end of this year. Having entered an “open beta” in December 2008, Home has been in that state ever since, despite appearing for all intents and purposes…
So, Lost fans, Lost is finished. What are you to do? What half-brained theories as to what it all means will you come up with in its wake? I don’t know, so…here’s an 8-bit NES game of the show. It’s by Adam Campbell, and would be great if it stopped at that single screenshot, but…
We presume this is Keita Takahashi, creator of Katamari Damacy and Noby Noby Boy, in disguise. Who else could make an otherwise creepy situation so charming? Here he is, dressed as one of the houses from Noby Noby Boy, showing an emerging demographic how the game’s iPhone app works. Wonderful. We’ve heard others describe it…
Having only been revealed by EA a couple of weeks ago, Playfish’s FIFA Superstars game has gone live on Facebook. And I must say, it’s rather good. Not good in the way a real FIFA game is. But good in the way a Facebook game – built for football fans, not farming fans – should…
You’ve seen fighting game Marvel vs Capcom 3 in grainy trailers and even grainier magazine scans, but here for the first time is Marvel vs Capcom 3 as nature intended: in big screenshots, on the internet. There’s nothing sneaky nor fancy about them. No hidden references to unrevealed characters or anything like that. No, just…
With 120 hours of spare time up his sleeve, YouTube user bornforthis43 set up a camera, got some crap from his garden and fridge, and made this delightful stop-motion homage to the games of the Nintendo Entertainment System. It may start a little shaky, but persevere: by the time you get to a Zelda populated…
Online role-playing game Guild Wars, like any other game played over the internet, has its fair share of cheaters. How Guild Wars deals with them, though, sets them apart. Earlier this week, 3700 accounts were banned by the developers for “botting and match manipulation”, “botting” being the use of automated programs to run through the…
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time star Jake Gyllenhaal was on Jimmy Kimmel last night. They talked about stuff, but it’s the adoration of a giant plastic Jake that was the highlight. Watch below, as Kimmel whips out an 18″ version of Gyllenhaal’s LEGO minifig, then starts rubbing it the same way we would. If…
Here’s a trailer for this weekend’s Red Dead Redemption “short film”, which believe it or not has been done by John Hillcoat, director of The Road and, more importantly, The Proposition. I say “believe it or not” because it doesn’t look any different to the regular trailers for the game. Whether that’s a limitation of…
Project Natal is, if you hadn’t worked it out by the whole “project” bit, simply a working title for Microsoft’s upcoming motion sensing peripheral. What’s its actual name? We don’t know, but we’re about to find out. A report on Edge says that Natal’s final, actual name will be revealed as part of Microsoft’s E3…
shysuiko enjoys drawing little Chibi versions of video game characters in her spare time. The style normally isn’t my favourite, but when it’s applied to Andrew Ryan and a Hunter from Left 4 Dead, I can come around. She’s drawn series of characters from Left 4 Dead, BioShock, Zelda, Silent Hill, Odin Sphere and even…
This guy has built himself a replica Halo Assault Rifle that not only looks good as a replica Halo Assault Rifle, it’s also a fully-functioning Nerf gun Moz, from Halo cosplay community the 405th, took a cheap “dollar store” plastic weapon, a Nerf gun and tore both apart. After a paint job, mechanical tinkering and…
“Let’s just make it so no one turns off the music”. An inauspicious first step for one of the best gaming soundtracks in recent memory. While Red Dead Redemption is wowing people with its characters, open world and Western gunplay, the unsung hero of the title is its soundtrack, which unusually for a Rockstar game…

Renowned for its blood, glares and exposed breasts, the God of War series is also famous for having some rather exquisite artwork associated with its games. Fans of this art should keep Saturday night free. The Gnomon Gallery – which has hosted these kind of things before – will throw open its doors this Saturday…
There’ll most likely be a new Total War game unveiled at E3, but in the meantime, Sega is happy to release a new expansion for the recent Napoleon: Total War. It centres around the Peninsula Campaign, which is the fancy title given to the tussles between the Allies (Britain, Spain & Portugal) and French on…
No, it’s not us. We fly. This is Infinite Lives: The Road to E3, a small-time documentary about four normal dudes who drive across American to attend E3, the industry’s biggest show of the year. It can get a little grating at times, but at others, it looks to be a surprisingly charming road trip…
There are video game art books, then there are video game art books. Most fall into the first category. Uncharted 2’s is a proud member of the latter See, most things that call themselves “art books” are nothing of the sort. They’re cheap collections of in-game renders and promo art, slapped together in a poor-quality…
It’s been three years since we last checked in on the development of Warriors of Elysia, a game that can best be described as Mortal Kombat, only with more boobs. Let’s see how it’s looking circa 2010. Click to view It’s looking…yeah, like Mortal Kombat. With babes in bikinis. Doing karate. Don’t know why they…
