It’s become a pattern: Game is released on the Xbox 360. Time passes and said game is then released on the PS3 with extra content and extra characters. Star Ocean 4 is no exception. Star Ocean The Last Hope, it has been previously announced, is truly international. Along with both English and Japanese, the game…
A spoiler is a spoiler. Doesn’t matter if it’s big or small. Or if you are a Hollywood actor. A spoiler is a spoiler. And if you haven’t played through MW 2 yet, this is a spoiler for you, too. While Michelle Rodriguez isn’t appearing in Avatar, she’s doing other things — playing video games!…
This actually could be a first. Comic erotic game W.L.O. Sekai Renai Kikou (World Love Organization) was released on personal computers this past March by Japanese developer Akabei Soft2. An Xbox 360 port has been announced. On breasts. The text reads: “Celebrate! Xbox 360 Port Decided!!” Akakei Soft2 announcing game on character’s breasts? Talk about…
Zii? Like “Wii” with a “Z”? Japan’s Nintendo Co., Ltd. filed a trademark on October 30, 2009 for “Zii”. The trademark recently popped up on the Japanese trademark database. The filing, which covers video games and electronic devices, contains little information. Wonder what it could be. Update: Looks like Nintendo is attempting to block the…
Resonance of Fate, from developer tri-Ace, is a role-playing-game set in a future in which climate changes have forced humans to build an enormous air purifier. The game features a time-based battle attack system. Have a look at these new screens of 70-year-old “Enquirer of Knowledge” Antorion, gothy Veronique, fashionista Garigerrnon and the curvy Barbarella.…
From the looks of it, GOD EATER is Namco’s take on Capcom’s Monster Hunter. A game that looks to borrow so heavily from the MH franchise really needs to create its own identity as a PSP title. What better way to do that than via customized bullets and customized clothes. The “Bullet Edit” feature allows…
Final Fantasy XIII Will be out soon in Japan — and to whip everyone into a frenzy, Square Enix is running ads. Ads like this. It features some new gameplay battle footage if you are into that kind of thing. If not, it still features that. New Final Fantasy XIII “Battle” HD TV Spot –…
Now, I’m no scientist. Or console engineer. I don’t know how this is happening. All I know is, there are increasing numbers of people playing Modern Warfare 2 on 360 saying the game’s ammo counters are all busted up. Essentially, we’re hearing that people are joining MP matches, then finding that there are no ammo…
Not going to talk about the top titles this week. Instead, I’m going to talk about a series that isn’t even in the charts, a series that even 2-3 years ago would have been challenging for top Christmas honours. I’m talking about Konami’s Pro Evolution Soccer 2010. There once was a time that Britain’s best-selling…
Britain’s Ashley Browning is the man to thank for this series of minimalist, zoomed-in “portraits” of some of video gaming’s most recognisable faces. Some of them, you’ll just be looking at, but others, you can buy from Ashley’s online store, then wear them on your chest. [infinitecontinues, via Etsi]
Adweek today announced what they believe, as advertising experts, to be the best commercials of the past decade. And amongst the finalists were two video game spots. Those ads – which made the final cut of 27 finalists – were “Mountain”, for the PS2 (by TBWA in London), and “Diorama”, for Halo 3 (by T.A.G.…
Team Fortress 2’s “WAR” update continues, with today’s addition to the game being a couple of new in-game items for the Demoman. They’re part of the “Close Combat Kit”, which arms the Demoman with a sword and shield. The sword – “The Eyelander” – is a guaranteed decapitation if you score a kill, however equipping…
SingStar is the ugly step-sister of the music genre. It’s only loved in one territory, it’s one-dimensional, its soundtrack has limited appeal. But there’s one area Sony’s karaoke series is trumping the competition. And that’s in its digital shopfront. While Rock Band and Guitar Hero are stuck with antiquated stores, accessible only via crude in-game…
No wonder Cody is always in irons. There are few places on earth that will let a man punch a woman in the face like this and avoid the strong arm of the law.
Does your knowledge of Napoleon stop at “he was short” and “he was fat”? Might want to watch this trailer for the upcoming Napoleon: Total War, then, which is more history lesson than game trailer.
As seen by me, while shopping for chocolate milk.
You might have noticed. There’s a war going on in Team Fortress 2 right now. Where there’s war, there’s propaganda, and where there’s TF2 fans, there’s great propaganda. As part of this struggle, Valve are running a contest, where the best user-submitted propaganda posters for the war win some prizes, like one-of-a-kind, in-game items named…
Yesterday, the Australian government released its long-awaited discussion paper on an adults-only rating for video games (or, as we’d call it, R18+). I’ve already sent in my contribution; any of you care to do the same? The paper has been released to canvas public opinion on whether Australia’s classification guidelines should be amended to include…
Namco Bandai is taking the old Ridge Racer franchise for another spin, its first in almost three years, this time on the visual powerhouse that is… Apple’s iPhone? Yes, Ridge Racer: Accelerated is an iPhone game. But at least Namco Bandai hasn’t forgotten about the arcade-style racing game, with plans to release Ridge Racer: Accelerated…
Gran Turismo 5’s (second) demo will be out soon. Very soon. You can’t play it yet, then, but you can take a look at these screens showing the cars and track on offer, and in your mind’s eye, prepare.
