    Hands-on with the forthcoming titles Sony's latest entry into the handheld console market, the PlayStation Vita, arrives in the UK and the US on 22 February. And Sony has brought to the table a console capable of making some pretty big waves (check out our full review here). It boasts a gorgeous 5-inch qHD OLED touchscreen, is powered by a quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor and the graphics engine is hefty, to say the least; again quad-core in the SGX543MP4+. Throw in a rear touchpad for an altogether different experience, Sixaxis motion sensing, a three-axis electronic compass and, crucially,…

    PlayStation is just days away from embarking on another historic console journey with the launch of PS Vita — the most ambitious entertainment device you’ve ever held in your hands. PS Vita was first unveiled to the world as NGP, the “Next Generation Portable,” in January 2011 and formally christened as PS Vita during E3. In the time leading up to the big global launch day on February 22nd, we chronicled the designers as they created the world’s most advanced handheld gaming system and heard from some of the most-respected game developers in the business. We also recently…

    As all of you are already aware a couple(literally a couple) new maps were released for Modern Warfare 3 this month. These maps were exclusive to Call of Duty Elite members on the Xbox 360. The maps will be available to those of us who don’t have a premium membership in March, for approximately 15 dollars, or 1200 Microsoft points. Now, I’ve written about how ridiculous DLC prices and lack of content has become before,but this is pretty much my biggest issue as of now. There will be new maps released every month for this game I spent 60 dollars on and unless I can fork out another…

  • Hide & Seek's 10-11-12: "Ten games from 2011 that tell you all about 2012"

    Wonderland

    17 Jan 2012 | 4:42 am
    It's free, it's a briefing, and it's ten games from last year that show what's unfolding for this year (and beyond). The general message is: fragmentation. Opportunity everywhere, and always up against big people with big money (though that doesn't have to spell disaster). How do you get noticed in that world, especially if you're not a giant brand with deep pockets? Even LEGO felt it had to spend $40m to market its new line of girl-oriented Friends products... Getting attention is hard. These themes point the way where there's still a chance to be first, or superniche, or surprising. Good…

    12 Feb 2012 | 8:00 am
    This past week, I've been playing the IGF 2012 build of a game that fans of tactical action-based espionage should have every reason to be excited about. The game is called Gunpoint--developed by Tom Francis, John Roberts, and Fabian van Dommelen--and it has players take on the role of an incorrigible, trench-coated spy-for-hire who plies his trade by breaking into office buildings and stealing coveted data for his employers.GunpointThough Gunpoint isn't finished yet--some things like the narrative are still being added--the IGF 2012 build of the game I played is fairly complete, and it's…

  • Blizzard files opposition to Valve's Dota trademark

    10 Feb 2012 | 7:45 pm
    Blizzard has grumbled before about Valve Software using the name Dota 2 for its commercial sequel to the hugely popular Warcraft III mod Defense of the Ancients All-Stars--usually called simply 'DotA'--but now it's called in the lawyers. Newly-discovered paperwork, filed with the USPTO in November, show the Warcraft developer has formally opposed Valve's application to trademark "DOTA," claiming it "would cause damage and injury to Blizzard."Blizzard Entertainment contends in the formal Notice of Opposition [pdf] that the "DOTA" brand is tied to Warcraft and Blizzard itself in players' minds.

Specifically, fans can sign up for a chance to remotely fire M249-SAW machine guns at the real-life version of the ice cream truck driven by Sweet Tooth, the game's fire-haired, clown-faced antagonist."That's right, we've hooked these guns up to a satellite so you can control them remotely from your computer," states the developer on the official PlayStation Blog.

    GamesRadar has posted a preview of Double Helix Games' upcoming board game/movie based FPS, Battleship. Quote: Taking place just before the events of the movie, Battleship puts players in the role of Cole Mathis, an Explosive Ordinance Disposial specialist in the U.S. military. The game plays as a first person shooter on various locations on the Hawaiian Islands. Cole has access to a small arsenal, being able to use the standard issue assault rifle, grenades, pistol, shotgun or pick up one of the two total alien weapons.

    12 Feb 2012 | 2:40 pm
    Martyn Carroll takes a look back at LucasArts' podracing game, Star Wars: Episode I Racer, in this week's retrospective on Eurogamer. Quote: What's particularly pleasing is how forgiving the game is - at least in the opening, seven-race tournament. Unlike the WipEout games, where hitting the sides of the track often results in a dead stop, here you can bash into walls and smash through obstacles and largely get away with it. Your engines do take damage, however, but you can repair them during the race. Things get much tougher when you step up to the Semi-Pro and Galactic tournaments and…

  • 'Pinball Arcade' Review – An Enthusiast’s Dream

    Eric Ford
    10 Feb 2012 | 11:26 am
    We didn’t have a lot of arcades in my hometown while I was growing up. Even worse, the few that did exist specialized in video games and air hockey, with nary a pinball machine in sight. Still, whenever I managed to get my hands on a one, it was always such a dazzling experience of light, sound and skill. Perhaps that’s why I can’t stop playing Pinball Arcade [$0.99 / Free], the inaugural iOS title from FarSight Studios. FarSight’s ability to create near-perfect replications of actual pinball machines leads to a game that is not only full of incredibly deep pinball machines, but also…

  • 'End Night HD' iPad Review - An Ambitious and Horrifying Shooter

    End Night [$2.99] puts you in control of one of two survivors of an undead apocalypse. Not zombies, quite, but something horrifying. It's a dark, claustrophobic game with a few roguelike elements. With limited ammo, health packs and sanity, you must head out into the abandoned town, breaking into houses, collecting samples of the infection and hoping to turn them into a serum that will let you rebuild the world of the living. The view is top-down, with the camera pulled in just a little too close for comfort. The controls are slightly awkward - a left stick for walking, and buttons on the…

    Jessica Conditt
    12 Feb 2012 | 9:30 pm
    Indie developers are the starving artists of the video-game world, often brilliant and innovative, but also misunderstood, underfunded and more prone to writing free-form poetry on their LiveJournals. We at Joystiq believe no one deserves to starve, and many indie developers are entitled to a fridge full of tasty, fulfilling media coverage, right here.

  • Retailers think Gravity Rush is out on May 29

    Jordan Mallory
    12 Feb 2012 | 6:30 pm
    We've been under the impression that Gravity Rush was slated to reorient our Newtonian perspectives sometime during the Vita launch window, but Amazon and Gamestop disagree, listing the title's release date as May 29, which is quite a ways away from the Vita's February 22 launch.We called a local Gamestop to confirm the listing, and an employee informed us that Gravity Rush has a "ship date" of May 30 in their system, which lines up just about right. It's entirely possible that the end of May is within Sony's definition of the Vita's release window, but we won't know what's the dealio…

    10 Feb 2012 | 3:34 pm
    Blizzard has challenged Valve's efforts to secure a U.S. trademark on Defense of the Ancients - something it said it had no plans of doing. In 2011 Valve announced plans to create a sequel to the popular Warcraft II mod, Defense of the Ancients. At the time Blizzard said that it would not oppose the company, but said that it was confused by the move. Today we learn that Blizzard filed a complaint with the U.S. trademark in opposition of Valve's registration of the Dota name in late 2011. read more

    Akicon 2011? That was like, 3 months ago, right? Yes it was. And yes, we’re uploading those pictures today. Why? Well.. Your dogs attacked our server physically, and ate all of our hard drives. Don’t believe us? Okay then. Here’s the “truth”: We thought we’ve lost all of the photos taken that day from that particular memory card. So then we prayed to anime Goddess, and on its 100th day, she finally answered and decided to let us find that particular memory card, so we could restore Akicon 2011 photos!

  • Charity (CALM) named as the official “Street Fighter X Tekken” charity partner in the UK

    mitsu
    18 Jan 2012 | 11:53 am
    Capcom has partnered with the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) for the release of Street Fighter X Tekken in the UK. CALM was set up to reduce the high suicide rate amongst men under 35, currently the single biggest killer of young men in the UK. Men are three times more at risk of suicide than young women – in 2010 75% of suicides were men. Since CALM’s launch in Merseyside in 2000, suicide numbers in young men in the Merseyside area have fallen by a massive 55%, and now having opened an office in London, the charity has expanded its operations UK wide.

  • Is Skyrim on PS3 finally free of lag?

    Jeremy Hill
    12 Feb 2012 | 3:19 pm
    Late last week, Bethesda released what is perhaps the most important Skyrim patch for the PS3. This update was meant to finally stop the crippling lag many PS3 players have been experiencing since day one. Can PS3 players finally progress in Skyrim without facing game-breaking technical problems? I think so.I wrote a while back how lucky I was to not have experienced much Skyrim lag on PS3 despite having a 9.6MB save file that was comprised of over 70 hours of playtime. However, like most players, entering Whiterun caused some jerkiness in the world while everything attempted to load. After…

    $1,591,298 from 44,643 backers. Those are the current numbers from Double’s Fine’s Kickstarter campaign. Double Fine got way more than it was expecting when it started this thing. It just goes to show you how much love gamers have for developers they feel have a genuine passion for what they do. In Tim Schafer’s case, it doesn’t hurt to have a cult classic under your belt either. Given the enormous success Double Fine has had fund raising, I wouldn’t be surprised to see more developers going the Kickstarter route. Those developers may not receive the same kind…

During that time, Valve closed the Steam forums and recommended everyone change their passwords for the sake of security. Today, Valve co-founder Gabe Newell informed the Steam community it’s possible the hackers obtained a private backup file as well.The backup file contains a list of Steam transactions between 2004 and 2008. Along with those transactions were email addresses, user names, billing information and credit card information. Fortunately, the…

The Star Trek game was originally going to be released this summer, but will launch in the first quarter of 2013 instead. This places the game within the same release window as the new Star Trek film from J.J. Abrams. Coincidence? Of course it isn’t.We also learned today that Namco Bandai will co-publish and distribute the Star Trek game “for all major home consoles and PC.”Digital Extremes, the developer of…

  • How Grand Theft Auto V Could Crib From Its Past to be Rockstar's Biggest Game.

    10 Feb 2012 | 7:05 pm
    We are now more than three months removed from Rockstar's confirmation that (surprise!) Grand Theft Auto V is in development. Aside from what was yielded by the days spent dissecting the premiere trailer after its release, new information has been impossible to come by as Rockstar has returned to being characteristically silent about what it has in the works. That has, however, left us with plenty of time to ponder what GTA V may have in store for gamers and how many of its key features could be enhanced versions of ideas seen in Rockstar games past. Firm details are scant, though based on…

  • Contrasting the IAAs and VGAs: Is There a Difference?

    10 Feb 2012 | 6:17 pm
    Many gamers who take the hobby seriously scoff at each year's Spike TV Video Game Awards. There are numerous reasons for this, the most prominent being that the show is often filled with gags, skits, and seemingly anything that does not consist of awards being handed out and accepted. You need only look at the show this past December where certain awards were given out beforehand and others were announced so rapidly they were gone in the blink of an eye. But about what the awards themselves -- are the selections, too, put to shame by other award shows? Last night, in the midst of the 2012…

    Everyone wants to be Batman, but no one wants to train like him. Welcome to the world of Gotham City Imposters, where wannabe superheroes (called Bats) and villains (called Jokerz) kill and maim themselves in the name of saving or destroying the city -- imagine if Civil War re-enactors used silly names, real weapons, dressed up like a giant bats, and fought 6v6, and you'll get a pretty good idea as to just how absurd and demented GCI can seem -- two qualities that the industry could use more of in a market dominated by military shooters.

    The DICE conference in Las Vegas is good for a lot of things, but one thing it's great for is bumping into people. People who work in games and have opinions, even. So at this year's event, I posed two questions to many of them: what's the one thing you want to see most in next-gen consoles, and why are game budgets so secretive. (And perhaps notably, many of them said they'd heard the former question a lot in the past few days.) This story, if you're playing along and read the headline, contains the answers to the first of those two. Head over here for the budget talk, read on to see what…

    Before asking the question above to a bunch of people at this year's DICE conference, I assumed everyone would agree with me that the game industry doesn't like talking about how much games cost to make. It turns out I was mostly right, but not entirely -- some weren't aware of what I was suggesting, though almost everyone had a unique take on why things are the way they are.

However, the so-named orphanage in today's fantastic adventure hybrid from Orneon is not that type of orphanage, or at least, it doesn't appear so at first. This is a place for "special" children, children who have abilities that are outside of the norm. Unfortunately something has happened to both the orphanage and the children in The Agency of anomalies: Cinderstone Orphanage and it must quickly be put to rights before something terrible happens.

Adding Kinect voice capabilities, Bioware promises Mass Effect 3 will be their most immersive game yet. On the whole, this seems like a really good move for the franchise.

    If Blizzard co-founder Frank Pearce isn’t just weaving a cool-sounding origin story for posterity, Blizzard may not have been aware of what they had on their hands when they introduced World of Warcraft back in 2004. Apparently, they “grossly underestimated” the extent to which people wanted to play the MMORPG version of Warcraft. That information came out in a DICE panel discussion, first mentioned by Gamasutra, that also included Epic’s Mike Capps and Insomniac’s Ted Price. These days, Blizzard has 4,700 employees based in 11 cities. Back in 2005, notsomuch, and the…

  • You Can Kill Civillians In Spec Ops: The Line

    Ross Lincoln
    10 Feb 2012 | 7:34 pm
    Thanks to the timely release of the game‘s ERSB rating, it is now known that 2K’s upcoming Spec Ops: The Line is so named because of the one it crosses. In a detailed description of the shooter’s rating, the ERSB rating confirms that “players have the ability to shoot unarmed civilians or open fire on angry mobs”. Better, or worse, depending on your feelings about realistically violent gams, this feature, sure to draw gasps of horror from people unfamiliar with the conventions of military-based shooters, is only the top of a very, very violent iceberg.

But unlike other users of Google's trashed software, Superpoke users have decided to fight back with a class action. The aim is to recover the money they spend on virtual gold used as a currency to buy clothes for their virtual pets. The total 'amount in controversy' exceeds $5,000,000 — a sum that is credible given that there were at least 7,000,000 users. So if you are considering adding a virtual currency to your app you might want to think of the future."Read more of this story at Slashdot.

  • Should Next-Gen Game Consoles Be Upgradeable?

    Soulskill
    7 Feb 2012 | 6:30 pm
    MojoKid writes "Historically, console add-ons that boosted the performance of the primary unit haven't done well. Any attempt to upgrade a system's core performance risks bifurcating the user base and increases work developers must do to ensure that a game runs smoothly on both original and upgraded systems. The other reason is that a number of games rely on very specific hardware characteristics to ensure proper operation. In a PC, swapping a CPU with 256K of L2 for a chip with 512K of L2 is a non-issue assuming proper platform support. Existing software will automatically take advantage of…

Even within the same genre, graphical style, mechanics, interaction design and audio will all contribute to form a unique player experience.

    Have you ever seen a movie, television show or videogame in which the creators’ vision is completely sound yet it fails on almost every level? What causes such an “epic fail”? Maybe it has to do with the skill of the team involved. Maybe the creators had such a massive vision that they overextended themselves. Or maybe everyone involved got sidetracked. The answer is completely unknown, which brings the discussion to the PlayStation 3 game Last Rebellion. This is a game that has a solid foundation yet is poorly constructed.

    Steampunk is a style, to me, best characterized by the mixture of steam-powered technology coupled with current technology to create a fun, unique blend. This sort of style can be used in anything from computer hardware, to wardrobes, to everyday objects such as tables and chairs. This popular style is especially cool when coupled with games. In the browser-based Iron Grip: Marauders it's used throughout the game from the story to the graphics to the general theme and feel, and this makes it shine.

As "The Kid" makes his way to the chopping block, ol' Rucks digs into the unfortunate child's past, all while sending pleasant shivers down my spine. The 5:48 mark also sends shivers down my spine, though for a completely different reason. Skyrim: Bastion Narrator Edition [YouTube] (This Bud's for you, Rammstein!)

My son knows that I’m an artist and he understands I draw comics but when I told him I was drawing Finn and Jake he looked at me like I was a movie star.

I once played Scrabble with a mother not my own and also with Brenna’s Grandmother, which is a kind of meta-mom, and these two beat the shit out of me.  People assume that I would be good at Scrabble because I collect words, but Scrabble isn’t a game where you just recite all the words you know really fast.  I would be a bull-headed death god at that game,

As for a philosophy, an idea, I think a game can get that across better than anything else, letting someone actually experience it quickly and effectively, as opposed to writing down a manifesto for fanatics and intellectuals to dig into.

    Giovanni Viglietta of the University of Pisa has posted up a paper called “Gaming is a hard job, but someone has to do it!”. In it, he not only analyzes a variety games to determine their complexity class, but he also arrives at a few metatheorems that are generically applicable for all game design. In other words, “include these features and your game gains fun.”Remember, according to the Theory of Fun, pattern mastery and learning is why the brain plays games. And if you recall my presentation on Games Are Math, I made the case that entire classes of…

    When I said that narrative was not a game mechanic, but rather a form of feedback, I was getting at the core point that chunks of story are generally doled out as a reward for accomplishing a particular task. And games fundamentally, are about completing tasks — reaching for goals, be they self-imposed (as in all the forms of free-form play or paideia, as Caillois put it in Man, Play and Games) or authorially imposed (or ludus). They are about problem-solving in the sense that hey are about cognitively mastering models of varying complexity.Some replies used the word…

Back in the day, he notes, the only way you could get raid-level gear was by being in a raid-level guild and by raiding, a lot. Much was said back then (not least by me) about the way MMORPGs seemed to provide a communal experience for people isolated by contemporary society. If society gave people anomie, then online community, it seemed, was the antidote. How pollyannish! We (I) also said that online environments were really no…

One thing to bear in mind is that this case involved real violence and the theft of virtual goods.  The victim was beaten and threatened with a (real) knife, with the defendants demanding he hand over a mask and an amulet within…

    The WSJ has a story on what goes into the price of a shirt that shows why so many of the current batch of hot apparel ecommerce companies (e.g. Shoedazzle*, Bonobos*, J Hilburn, Warby Parker, IndoChino etc) are vertically integrated. The retail value chain has a significant markup built into both the wholesale and retail channel as can be seen here.

However as the platform is restricting notifications to the users, a number of newer applications are finding it hard to get user traction and sustain engagement.

Opportunity everywhere, and always up against big people with big money (though that doesn't have to spell disaster). How do you get noticed in that world, especially if you're not a giant brand with deep pockets? Even LEGO felt it had to spend $40m to market its new line of girl-oriented Friends products...

    Industry analysts expressed surprise at this news It’s official: per CFO Eric Brown, during an earnings conference call, SWTOR is making a lot of money, with 1.7m subscribers (which Brown went to an unusual effort to quantify correctly as a mix of paying customers and customers with billing information entered but still on free trial) and over 2m sell-through (copies sold to actual customers as opposed to sitting on store shelves). Brown said EA was actually able to add a lot more users on a per-server basis, thanks to some technical improvements. He also noted that about 40% of the…

However it’s rapidly becoming clear that the space for sub-$100M budget releases by large publishers is becoming very tiny indeed. Update: THQ denies the rumor.

It’s a forum loosely based on gaming with a literate group of followers, founded by two fairly clueful gaming writers, Mark Asher and Tom Chick. Mark eventually drifted away and Tom took over full time. There was the usual drama, as often goes with such things. Earlier this year Tom had clearly had enough and turned the forum essentially unmoderated.  A lot of previously unbanned users came…

    Todd Howard gave the opening keynote at the DICE 2012 summit in Las Vegas entitled "Why We Create, Why We Play," which proved to be a highly entertaining speech with an equally hilarious PowerPoint presentation. Todd has been with Bethesda for 18 years, starting in 1984. When he joined the company, Terminator Rampage had just come out. E3 didn't even exist yet, and according to Howard, "We had CES, but the video games were in a big tent outside with the porn." Look how far we've come since then. To put things in perspective, he noted that Doom came out right around the same time he was…

    Based on their stellar track record, fighting fans have come to expect great things from Capcom, since they always seem to go the extra mile when it comes to their marquee brawler franchises. Over the last few years they have set the 2D fighting bar higher and higher, first with Street Fighter IV, and then with Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, but their first joint venture with Namco Bandai, Street Fighter X Tekken, truly proves why they consistently stand above their competition, even when their competition is in their game.

He infamously aired his grievances about a review on Joystiq on his public blog, and he was certain that the comments about his DICE session would quickly be filling up with comments like "Jaffe's a fuckin' idiot." Is he right? While you might not always agree with him, it's always heartening to see someone who is passionate and outspoken about their beliefs, and who have the arguments to back them up. Jaffe readily admits…

Indeed, the darkly-lit, grim puzzle-platformer has become the black and white student film of game development—deeply personal, occasionally emotionally impenetrable, and really more about some implied message than actual gameplay. And hey, there are some pretty fantastic puzzle platoformers out there, it just feels like for every Limbo, there some young designer's attempt to work through his parents'…

    The trailer for a new Zelda game? The Lost Oracle is what every fan wants and, unfortunately, not something we are likely to see. The trailer was created by Joel Furtado - 'just for fun'. The animation was clearly inspired by The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker - but still has it's own style which makes it all sorts of awesome. He even teases with a Wii-U logo at the end. If only!

    To carry on from the Half Life Live Action movie trailer I posted last week, here's a live action trailer for Angry Birds. To be honest I wasn't entirely sure how this would work, but having watched it I found the whole thing quite clever and entertaining. Not convinced about the fact they call the women birds, it's not the sort of term you would use in a positive context, but since these birds seem to be assassins of some sort I think we can probably let it pass There's a series of behind the scenes photos on the QuaterBin blog.

    What would the intro to the original Half-Life game, look like if it was turned into a movie trailer? Something like this I reckon. Apart from a few instances the effects work really well, and this looks like it was a lot of fun to make. It also doesn't have the stereotypical cheese factor that a lot of Hollywood Video Game movies have. Interestingly the director, Brian Curtin, has this to say about the video (found on the Youtube video notes): After 10+ years since it's release, if you ever go back and replay the original Half-Life, it doesn't look anything like you remember. The graphics…

Based upon their previous efforts - such as Machinarium (I could have sworn we reviewed Machinarium, but I couldn't find it anywhere :S) - I am sure the puzzles will be as fiendish as ever. Will be interesting to see how the final game plays.

While it seemed too good to be true, a founder of the site whom calls himself "Mister C" gave further evidence of the perk via a cryptic message last week. It seems details of the free game perk have gone live on Tsilon.ca and while it's a bit different than anticipated, it is without question happening.

I have no idea, and it's futile to wonder anyway. I mean, I've been asking the "Misters" for several weeks how they're getting such great deals. The answer I got back?

    Hey! Remember that whole “we’re letting you choose a FemShep!” thing? Up until today, we hadn’t actually seen what that new female default would look like in the field, but now we have this trailer and I can officially report that FemShep looks…pretty freakin’ good! Oh, and voice actress Jennifer Hale? Awesome as ever. Watch below and get chills:

  • Gabe Newell updates the Steam community with new information about possible data breach

    Tiffany Nevin
    10 Feb 2012 | 3:26 pm
    Gabe Newell took to email this afternoon to continue to inform the Steam-using public about the hacker “intrusion” that occurred last November. As of now, there is still no indication that hackers took any of the information from the database they accessed, but apparently it’s also probable that the hackers obtained old information about Steam transactions from 2004-2008. The full text of the letter is below. Note that the file they obtained did not contain passwords, but it’s still always a good idea to have Steam Guard on.   Dear Steam Users and Steam Forum…

  • ‘LittleBigPlanet Karting’ Announced

        Today, PlayStation announced via a tweet that LittleBigPlanet Karting is in the works. The tweet said, “We can confirm that LittleBigPlanet Karting is in fact in development and we look forward to sharing more on the game soon!” It is interesting PlayStation would develop a kart racing game with ModNation Racers as its current kart racing franchise. What do you think about a new kart racer for PlayStation? Are you excited?

  • ‘Call of Duty’ Elite is a financial success, Skylanders are super-popular and more from Activision’s financial results

    Activision is once again printing money! Who’s really surprised, though? World of Warcraft is still the #1 MMO around the world, Modern Warfare 3 sold like freaking hotcakes and oh yeah — kids love Skylanders. See? Not really that surprising that they’re still printing money. Here’s a short recap of what was covered in their conference call today. Call of Duty Elite has over seven million subscribers. World of Warcraft has actually lost subscribers — going from 10.3 million to 10.2 million. Not a big loss, but one nonetheless. Speaking of WoW, we’ll get more…

  • Namco Bandai is making the new Star Trek game

And!....just as likely to be disappointing as far as I'm concerned. Yep, it's the new Star Trek game and in spite of my overall "meh" reaction to 2009's rather generic Trek reboot, I have some valid concerns about new game. Marianne Krawczyk will probably bring some talent to the writing, but she's being helped by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, the guys who wrote the jumbled, embarrassing and…

  • Lollipop Chainsaw exemplifies love in this valentine's trailer

    12 Feb 2012 | 10:44 am
    by: Sean ColleliNEWS - Ever since Lollipop Chainsaw was announced, I've been highly skeptical. I love Suda 51's work but this seemed just a little too exploitative and, well, obvious. Then I saw this trailer, where it is revealed that protagonist Juliet decapitated her boyfriend Nick to save him from a zombie infection, and carries his disembodied talking cranium around on her belt. Now THERE'S the classic Suda 51 insanity I was looking for! And in terms of Suda 51, his games really don't get any more romantic and Valentine's Day-ey than this. That said,…

    13 Feb 2012 | 3:00 am
    I Am The Resurrection To make a good RPG is to walk a tightrope. Make it too complicated, too fiddly, and only the hardcore will appreciate your work, but pander to the public too much and your game looses its credibility, and its soul. Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning walks this line better than any RPG title we’ve ever seen and its secret is all in the blend. As you might have guessed by the name - some land you’ve never heard of with kings and biblical sounding word - this game is firmly rooted in classic fantasy, and we mean classic. There’s swords, potions, magic, the…

Apparently everything went smoothly, as Pete Hines the VP of PR & Marketing over at Bethesda tweeted that the patch would arrive this morning on Xbox Live. Originally, the announcement was for us to be kept busy for the next few weeks until everything would be ironed out on the PC version of the patch; it looks Christmas came early for the region of Tamriel. On January 25th, I made a post explaining and breaking down the patch notes that Bethesda was…

I’ll be honest, I’m not a Lovecraft connoisseur, but I dig the cult-riddled themes. Better yet, The Wasted Land is set in World War 1; which I also really dig and plays right into the arms of turn-based action’s pacing.  Red Wasp Design’s latest iOS jam is proof that these guys and gals can produce a quality product, and not just toss around the name Chaosium Inc. without producing one hell of a strategy…

    A few months ago, I wrote an article about Corpse Party finally being released in the states. It turns out that the game will also be seeing a release on iOS devices. As of now, the iOS version of the game will only be available in Japan and cost roughly around $29. The game will be released on February 9th, and is based of the PSP version. So far, there has been no word on whether or not this version of the game will be released in the States but hopefully if it does well the developers will consider it.

    Nowadays, music games come in all shapes and sizes, but there was a time when they didn’t. Some games attempted to incorporate music as an element of their gameplay mechanics instead of making it the focus of the game. While most never really reached any astounding level of commercial success, some impressed critics while others improved on the missteps of their predecessors. The latest DSiWare game from Neko Entertainment, “Maestro! Green Groove,” reminds me of those early music games that invented new ways for players to interact with notes, blending platforming and rhythm…

    It isn’t uncommon in the game industry to mimic other game’s successes. For example, when “Street Fighter 2″ was released in the arcade, many companies jumped into the fighting genre bandwagon in hopes to mimic that game’s success. “Blacklight: Tango Down” follows this concept by using the “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare” series as the source of their influence. The major difference being is that “B:TD” is an Xbox Live Arcade game for $15 and it is strictly focused on online play, whereas “Modern Warfare” was a retail priced…

    A few weeks back, I talked about how Online Passes are not as detrimental as most people make them out to be. This time, I’m here to talk about the other side of the debate. Yep, let’s talk about how Online Passes are ruining games and harming the videogame industry as a whole. One of the widest ranging issues with Online Passes when it comes to single-player games is how it locks content from the player. Granted, it’s not as prevalent yet, but one can clearly see that this is a precedent – one that a lot of people are very angry with. This was tossed into the spotlight late last year…

    Owners of PSP software will not be able to transform their UMD discs into digital copies for play on the Vita anywhere other than Japan. The program, titled UMD Passport, created an online marketplace for PSP titles in which owners of UMD copies could purchase downloadable versions of the game for a loose means of backwards compatibility on the Vita. Prices ranged anywhere from a few dollars to well into double digits. Browsing comment sections and online forums, potential Vita customers seem outraged for some inexplicable reason. I’m unsure as to why anyone would see fit to pay for…

Little Big Planet Karting is in development and exists, which as of this time, mark the only official details. Expanded previews and such are expected, “soon.” Pre-confirmation rumors has the game as a Move exclusive, possibly shipping with some type of racing wheel, a la Mario Kart for the Wii.

The game costs $15 but the first planned DLC for the game will be free! There are a few more technical details that are added into the game to make it a more complete package, such as quick mute and the strangely absent join-in-progress feature. But a large majority of the free to download update will add new items to nearly every facet of the multiplayer game. A new map, new weapons, new perks (called Fun Facts), and new gadgets will be…

Some were able to play the full version, but it reverted back to trial mode when logging in later. Warner states they’ve combined forces with Sony to work on the issue, but until then, if you’re stuck, they ask that you post some simple information on the official forum. They’re asking for PSN ID and your country, so it seems the issue may be…

    I have already shared with you the list of best mercenaries in Jagged Alliance: Back in Action, but as I said in that article, it doesn’t necessary mean that having them in your team is the best idea. Actually, it will be kind of impossible to have these best mercs in your team – at [...]

    So the other week, my old Sony 5.1 amp and speaker system decided to die. It’d had a good life and for an el cheapo system it had done a very good job. But the time had come to replace it and buy a new system. As I already have a reasonable Blu-Ray player I only need and amp and speaker package. Now, I’m really no expert when it comes to AV stuff, so I had to hit the interweb hard to come up with the best possible solution. After about 15 minutes of searching I decided to go and ask the local experts. Their recommendation is pretty much what you see below. AV Receiver I decided on…

    11 Feb 2012 | 10:19 pm
    Montreal has exploded over the past several years and has established itself as a game development hub.  Enticed by generous tax subsidies provided by the Quebec government, several major game companies have opened large studios in the city.  The incentives can cover up to 37.5 percent of labor costs, which can make an incredible difference when AAA game budgets can run tens of millions of dollars.  Leading developers like EA, Ubisoft, and most recently THQ all have a presence in Montreal. It’s not just the number of game companies that makes Montreal compelling – the size of…

The full text of the letter is below. Note that the file they obtained did not contain passwords, but it’s still always a good idea to have Steam Guard on.   Dear Steam Users and Steam Forum…

    Here is one that caught my eye and I had to bring it to you guys. Normally, we don’t get a chance to talk about Guinness World Records a lot around here but every now and then we get a good one. It seems that Guinness changed the game up from their normal record measuring to take a user poll that was included in the Guinness World Records 2012 Gamer’s Edition book. In the book, they collected 13,519 votes to bring us the “definitive list of the greatest video game endings of all time. So not really, even Guinness admitted that the list would cause heated debate. They were…

  • Sony Delays Original Killzone’s Arrival To PS3 Indefinitely

    12 Feb 2012 | 4:54 pm
    A few weeks ago fans got quite a treat when it was confirmed that the original Killzone would be making its way to the PlayStation 3 and it looked like fans who hadn’t gotten a chance to see where the battle against the Helghast began would finally get the opportunity to experience it. The proposed PS2 classic garnered a lot of buzz and then we really didn’t hear anything about it until now. We got the news via the official Killzone Twitter account as they confirmed that Killzone on PS3 had been “delayed indefinitely”. As of now we still don’t know why the title has been…

  • ‘Gotham City Impostors’ Getting DLC/Title Update in March

    Not to be confused with the some 100+ items of DLC that are available on the Xbox Live Marketplace and PSN as we speak, Monolith has announced some forthcoming DLC for their recently released competitive shooter Gotham City Impostors. Though the DLC costumes that are available online can be earned in-game, to bypass the lengthy leveling process players can simply fork over a couple bucks and jump to the head of the line. This new DLC however, is completely free, and actually sounds more like a title update for Gotham City Impostors, rather than DLC. Yes, it does include a few new gadgets and…

  • ‘Black Ops’ Ending Voted Greatest Ever By Guinness

    Brian Sipple
    12 Feb 2012 | 3:57 pm
    The Guinness World Records has been in publication since 1955, and has been awarding its famous, sometimes dubious, honors to the uniquely talented ever since. Got fingernails longer than an SUV? There’s a record for that. Can you bicycle backwards for 60 kilometers while playing the violin? There’s a record for that as well. Now it seems that the Call of Duty series has received a distinction as well, and it actually has nothing to do with sales. It’s makes perfect sense that the London-based record publisher would delve into the world of interactive entertainment, honing…

  • ‘Amnesia’ Website Teases Possible Sequel

    2010′s Amnesia: The Dark Descent struck fear into the heart of anyone who had the courage to play it – and was held in high regard as one of the most horrific games of the decade. The game was developed by Frictional Games – made famous by their survival-horror series Penumbra. Until recently, not much has been heard from Frictional Games regarding Amnesia or the possibility that fans would ever get a sequel. Last year, Thomas Grip, lead programmer at Frictional Games, stated that the team was developing an “Amnesia-related project.” Though nothing further came…

  • Sony Explains Why They Didn’t Publish ‘Demon’s Souls’ Outside of Japan

    Demon’s Souls was arguably the sleeper hit of 2009. The brutal title was well received by gamer’s and critics, however, prior to its launch, Sony did not expect the title to preform well. Sony’s president of World Wide Studios, Shuhei Yoshida, recently spoke out on why they never published the dungeon crawler outside of Japan. Speaking to Game Informer, Yoshida says that the main reason why Sony skipped out on Demon’s Souls was partly due to the differences between international and Japanese development. In Japan, most game assets are “made in…

    An official release date for North America and Europe may not have been announced yet, but Lollipop Chainsaw could be wowing gamers in one fashion or another sooner rather than later.  Maybe WB Games will give us the over-the-top and somewhat “controversial” action of Lollipop Chainsaw within the next three months – or at least I’m hoping for such a thing since the game is slated to appear in Japan in May.  Maybe our gaming brethren will receive Lollipop Chainsaw months ahead of everyone else, essentially keeping the tradition alive of Japan getting all the cool stuff…

ShogunGamer.com Rating :  9 While the site went in a bit of a ‘black out’ mode over the holiday seasons, believe it or not, video games continued to be released. One of them was a game that I was eagerly anticipating, but didn’t manage to get around to until the new year.read more

    Thanatophobia. Now that’s a catchy title. The word actually means ‘fear of death’ so you can hazard a guess as to what genre this debut title from Death Knell Games falls in to. Of course it’s a survival horror and one that we hold close to our hearts. Why? Well, as huge fans of survival horror we find ourselves rather disappointed in the AAA shift towards something that more closely resembles action-horror.Survival horror was popularized around the early nineties, mostly because of a little game called Resident Evil. Characteristics of which were gruesome enemies, a…

Videogames these days have become easier and more approachable.

Then, over time, I’ve noticed that I’ve gotten through games almost effortlessly. Sure, story-telling mechanics have generally improved across the board, as well as graphics and…

This physical release is slowly being changed thanks to the internet and its digital release format.

For EA’s Madden video game franchise this was also a win as the game predicted the winner in their annual Superbowl prediction. In the past nine years the football simulation game has correctly predicted seven of the last winners. Madden even came close to picking the correct score at the end with the prediction ending in 27-24 and the actual game ending with a score of 21-17. Madden also held their annual Madden bowl at the Bud Light Hotel in Indianapolis.

    Justin Hutton
    3 Feb 2012 | 12:00 pm
    I’m going to start this review by saying that I’ve not seen one episode of Law and Order. I have no frame of reference of how the characters compare to the show or if the gameplay matches what would be expected. That said, the first few episodes of Law and Order Legacies are a solid play. With each episode there are two plots; one that spans the episode itself, and one over-arching plot-line that encompasses all the episodes. A single episode’s story follows the formula of investigating a murder then convicting a suspect in court. It may lack the high pace gameplay of something similar…

    As the brainchild of artist Todd McFarlane, writer R.A. Salvatore, and Elder Scrolls III and IV lead designer Ken Rolston, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning has an impressive pedigree that sets high expectations. Reckoning is meant to be the launching point for a vast new fantasy universe, and though it doesn’t serve that purpose as well as 38 Studios wants, it provides a lengthy and entertaining – if sometimes flawed – experience. Reckoning takes place in a section of the world of Amalur known as The Faelands. Though it follows the Elder Scrolls formula of dumping tons of side…

  • The Japan Preview: 2/12/12 Edition (SW Still Very Quiet)

    Jacob Mazel
    12 Feb 2012 | 6:53 pm
    Software sales in Japan remained slow this week. Not a single game topped 50,000 units. Console software in particular was exceptionally low. It looks like once again no games for Wii or PS3 substantially topped 10,000 units for the week - a rare feat in prior years that has already happened in 2012 once, and should reoccur depressingly often throughout 2012. 1) Genso Suikoden: Tsumugareshi Hyakunen no Toki (PSP) - 40,000 3) Resident Evil: Revelations (3DS) - 32,000 3) Gravity Daze (Vita) - 32,000 4) Super Mario 3DLand (3DS) - 23,000 5) Mario Kart 7 (3DS) - 19,000 6) Monster Hunter Portable…

  • Review: Malicious

    Karl Koebke
    12 Feb 2012 | 6:44 pm
      I was really starting to wonder when or if Malicious would ever make it here to the West. It's been more than a year since the Japanese PSN release and smaller games such as this are never a sure thing for localization. Thankfully it's finally here in the form of a surprise release on the European PSN (or SEN I guess it's called now). A combination of Devil May Cry battle system with Shadow of the Colossus enemy sensibilities, and a Megaman-like character progression. Can it live up to such lofty comparisons?

    Back in the PS2 era, there was a lot of hype surrounding the new Naughty Dog franchise.  The developer had made a name for itself with the very successful Crash Bandicoot series and gamers everywhere were buzzing with excitement over what they could do on a more powerful console.  Then in December of 2001 they revealed their “demolition duo” in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy.  By 2004 they had finished the trilogy and evolved into the studio that would eventually give us the amazing Uncharted franchise.  Now PS3 owners can play through all three games in…

Follow the adventures of Homer, Marge, Bart and Lisa as they venture on a quest to save Maggie from the evil clutches of Smithers and Mr. Burns.

    After much anticipation, the game by 38 Studios and Big Huge Games has finally hit the shelves. Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning first strikes players as another generic hack-and-slash title, but then they get hit by various gameplay mechanics that make this game more than just some button-masher. Both casual and hardcore RPG fans will find this game to their liking for developers focused on one thing that matters most in games — the gameplay. The team that worked on this game included Ken Rolston, the lead designer for The Elder Scrolls’ Morrowind and Oblivion, R.A. Salvatore,…

You successfully defeated them and basked in the glory, but you have Cerberus turning against you and is now on your tail.

    12 Feb 2012 | 7:28 am
    I would like to start this review with a confession. As an adult male gamer, I have not played many dancing games. I’m not one of lifes dancers. I’ll sing for hours on end, but will rarely move in tandem with said singing. I have to admit, I was a little skeptical of Get Up And Dance, and I wasn’t expecting much. Sadly, this game has done little to change my mind. Get Up And Dance was clearly designed as a party game. Everything from the artwork, to the blurb on the box paints a picture of a fun game to play with friends. It boasts that you can grab some pals, and jump right in. This is…

    Klei Entertainment have unleashed Shank 2 on the world, a sequel to the 2010 side-scrolling action game, Shank. At first glance there’s little difference between the two, both have gorgeous 2D visuals and cranial blasting gameplay but Shank 2 adds so much to it’s predecessor. As with the first game you play as Shank a gun-shooting, chainsaw-wielding ex-hitman who wouldn’t be out of place in an 80s action film. The game revolves around you blasting your way through eight action packed levels, brutally murdering anyway who gets in the way. It’s all wonderfully presented…

Tim Schafer, the founder of Double Fine is using Kickstarter – on online fundraising website – to try and fund a new point and click adventure game. Apparently all of the publishers he pitched the idea to turned him down so he’s asked the general public if they’re interested and judging by the amount raised so far, they are.

It was originally planned for release on the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 however this never materialised until now with the release of Grand Slam Tennis 2 – which is skipping the Wii altogether.

All of these are back and remain largely unchanged from other recent EA Sports titles. The menu system will feel instantly familiar which is good…

This is why you will see some meaningful marketing initiatives emerging globally that use games as a tool to increase mindshare among customers.

    It’s an acceptable sweeping statement to make: a university education is invaluable to an individual’s life and future in the current professional landscape. An undergraduate or postgraduate degree gives students the necessary knowledge and skills that are ripe for a resource-hungry job market. Very often the problem is not that there aren’t enough jobs (excluding global slumps in the economy) out there. The challenge for employers is that many applicants are not appropriately skilled for the jobs available. Moreover, most universities today also provide students with career counselling…

    So, gamification is making waves in the field of education. Should it, however, only be restricted to institutions that have the budgets to spend extensively to procure modern learning aids for students? A short while ago, we wrote about how gamification is entering our homes. It’s great news for homeschooling families. There is so much out there to aid and enhance the learning experiences of homeschoolers. We like Apps for Homeschooling because of the range of apps it sports. For example, your two-year old toddler could be the linguist in her external peer group with ‘KinderApp’.

    You’ve been reading here how useful gamification is proving in a variety of spheres. You will notice this week that we are focusing on how games enhance education. Even in decades gone past, when technology had in no way taken over the world like it has in this millennium, true education stood for much more than just filling young minds with knowledge. Along with all the bright minds that graduated through the portals of premium educational institutions, there were a good number who did not receive all of their education in the classroom and still contributed to the development of global…

    At the height of any trend, there will be some detractors in the environment attempting to ensure people do not live in the bubble of the moment. Some critics do not think that gamification is the best thing that has happened in this Millennium. We agree that there may be many a game out there that is practically useless for business growth. Some of them really just help while away some time. And some of them are pointlessly addictive. However, since the early days of its most modern form, gamification is making headway in the world of business as an enabler rather than senseless…

    Hands-Free Control is a great app I have been using recently which allows you to activate Siri or Voice Control in older devices, without having to hold down the Home button. To activate Siri you just use a simple voice command which you can customise in the settings of the app.When using Hands free control you can ask Siri to read out text messages and reply without having to even touch your iPhone 4S.You can download it from Cydia for $2.99 which I think is a very reasonable price for a great app.

But when this fat cat is about to take control of Sony, I take notice. I take notice because I have invested large amounts of time and money in Sony.

    The last time I pre-ordered a game on the Wii was Mario Kart which was over three years ago. That run was broken by Xenoblade Chronicles. The question is has Xenoblade managed to live up to the high expectations I had for the game? It’s a simple question but one I was almost not able to answer. My pre-order arrived a day late (obviously this was no fault of game developers Monolith Soft) and when I inserted the disc I was informed that I needed to download a Wii update. After this my Wii restarted…and couldn’t read the disc. I’d reported on this problem the day before and now I was…

So I sent him last-minute flight confirmation, and he sent back, almost instantly, an email with two tickets to Harry Potter World, and an understated request to print the attached.

But my huge move for women’s equality is doing a job I really like, and working in an industry I really like, and being good at it — all without having a penis! Sometimes, being a woman in the games industry is a bit like my years as a foreigner in China, when every so often characteristics I’m barely even aware of become huge and noteworthy.

And, you might not know this from my blog, but Stick is actually not known by the entire world.

That’s a lot of enthusiasm and work, and unfortunately it takes its toll: It took me some months to notice what was going on, and even longer to accept that my burnout was going to kill LGP unless I did something about it. The lack of drive slowed down production of new titles, shipping, customer service, everything that I either handled or had a big part in helping with, was all being compromised. … But I didn’t want to let…

  • Is Asking Customers to Pre-order a Bad Thing?

    GBGames
    1 Feb 2012 | 4:30 am
    A month ago, there was a post on Reddit asking what people thought about indie developers asking for money up front. Some people are fine if they get a good quality playable build for pre-ordering, but no one seemed to be happy with the idea of funding basic engine development. It seems the general consensus is that people are getting tired of the so-called “fad” of funding a game before it is finished with no guarantee that they will see a payoff. Minecraft‘s wild success through pre-orders aside, it’s not really a new funding tactic at all. Lots of indie developers…

    Jim Squires
    12 Feb 2012 | 3:27 pm
    It seems an almost inevitable law of mobile gaming. If you have a game that manages to crack the iTunes Top 10, you’re going to have some awesomely creative fans with a camcorder that try to recreate your game in real life. We’ve seen in countless times with Angry Birds. The folks behind Fruit Ninja even made their own real life videos. And now? Now the folks at Inner Light Media have created an homage to the chart-topping freemium running app Temple Run.

Huwa IP Holdings now follows along in this questionable trend with a game so utterly similar to Cityville, you might just forget which game you’re actually playing.

    As part of its first lineup of PlayStation Vita accessories, Thrustmaster recently released details of 3 cases that are set to release closely after the official launch of Sony’s newest handheld gaming console. These cases each have a unique design and will either appeal to those looking for smooth style or rugged toughness. Fans of the UNCHARTED series may want to pay attention, as one of the cases is designed with it in mind.

    Okay, so at the DICE summit recently it was revealed by Todd Howard – Bethesda’s Game Director – that for one week after the completion of Skyrim, the development staff were allowed what is referred to as ‘Game Jam’ this is essentially where they would make up whatever they wanted to and throw it into the game to see if it works. Anything you can think of (and a couple of things you can’t!) were made during this week, as the following video will show. As a massive Skyrim fan, I can only hope that some (if not all) of these can come over to consoles as…

  • Surprise! New Call of Duty for 2012

    This news comes as absolutely no surprise, but during their 4th Quarter earnings call, Activision officially announced that there would be a brand new Call of Duty title in 2012. This was expected seeing as every Call of Duty release sets a new entertainment record, but Activision hadn’t officially confirmed anything yet. There still is no information on what the new game will be, although previous rumors said that Activision may be prepping Black Ops 2. It is also known that Sledgehammer Games has been hiring for a new Call of Duty. And Infinity Ward is reportedly working on a next-gen…

There are some new enemies from cerberus, one of which looks to be the assassin Kai Leng from the Mass Effect novels. You also get to see the improved combat of Mass Effect 3, the integrated storytelling and the way you build your own arsenal. Mass Effect 3 lands on March 6th for Xbox360, PS3, and PC.

  • NFL Blitz Review

    Hayes
    9 Feb 2012 | 8:17 pm
    NFL Blitz was a big hit when it released on the Nintendo 64 years ago, I myself remember sinking hours upon hours into the game. Blitz was fast and fun football, you didn’t need abundant amounts of planning or strategy in your plays and things like late hits (elbow dropping people after plays), and players suddenly going on fire and becoming nearly unstoppable made it a ridiculous but fun football game. Sadly NFL Blitz on Xbox Live Arcade doesn’t do much to capture the essence of what made the original so great, however it can still be a fun, albeit quick, football experience.

    Cave Story is truly a Cinderella story in the gaming world. What started out as one man’s dream to design a game has turned into a worldwide phenomenon claiming millions of fans. The game was first released as free ware on the PC years ago and has been officially released on Nintendo platforms two times prior to this newest release. After all of its time out on the market in different forms, is Cave Story 3D still worth checking out? Well, that’s kind of a loaded question. The story in Cave Story 3D is largely unchanged, but that does not take away from its genius. For newcomers, the…

    As night falls upon the Nintendo 3DS, terrors rise from its horrifyingly 3D screen. So ready your weapons and salvage your ammo, because Capcom’s Resident Evil Revelations has oozed its way into stores near you. Gameplay is divided into tense arcade-style segments that keep you on your toes, and action oriented segments that get your heart racing. Players find themselves stranded on the abandoned cruise ship Queen Zenobia to begin with, later traversing snowy mountain ranges and floating cities. New terrors lurk in the shadows, above and below water, waiting to test the players’ survival…

  • Battleship coming to Xbox360, PS3, Wii and More

    It shouldn’t surprise anyone to know that this year’s VFX orgy on water, Battleship, based on Hasbro’s board game of the same name (LOOSELY based) will be accompanied by a video game. Activision presents the Double Helix developed title that marries maritime tactical strategies with first person shooting following the film’s story in parallel. Players assume the role of Cole Mathis, a naval demolitions specialist who splits his time between ship placement strategies and run n’ gun combat. As the press release notes “Mathis must command the U.S. Navy fleet…

  • 2012′s Best Big Game Ads

    Christopher Kirkman
    6 Feb 2012 | 3:50 pm
    Ah, The Super Bo…big game. I say “big game” because the rules for using the actual name are sketchy at best and I don’t need the NFL sending C&D letters (and from what I understand, no one is too small to go after). So, if there’s one thing the big game is known for, it’s being the biggest football game of the year and if there’s a second, it’s for its commercials. The more appropriate term might be “advertainment”. Perhaps the only few hours of the year TV viewers are entertained by the 30 second spots meant to sell them crap…

  • Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

    Jenny Platt
    2 Feb 2012 | 12:40 pm
    You really ought to read the book, because the book is phenomenal. A mystery unraveled through the voice of an extremely bright and incredibly unique child, written in memories and snippets, and even including poignant photographs as clues. It’s brilliant. And I’m not a fan of the author, Jonathan Safran Foer. He just happened to write what I believe is a deeply touching, one-of-a-kind book. So how does the movie fare? Well, that all depends on how you handle images and reminders of September 11th. For some, it’s still too soon. I once felt that way. When the first films about 9/11 came…

Now, Warner Bros heralds the return of Daffy Duck and Elmer Fudd to the big screen in Daffy’s Rhapsody.

    If it wasn’t evident by the duplicate entries in our Best Of article, we here at Media Geeks are big fans of Game of Thrones. Dragons, boobies, midgets and zombies aside, GoT also happens to have some of the best fantasy writing on television right now and a visual effects budget that would appear to rival most major film releases of today. So when HBO put out a teaser entitled “Shadow” on youtube, we were all a-twitter. See for yourself. Game of Thrones Season 2 premieres April 1st (that better not be a joke), 2012 on HBO.

You heard right, this 18-level indie game is free (and 30MB).

    While I'd love to see characters like Mega Man and Neku from The World Ends with You make it into the next Smash Bros. game, their inclusions seem pretty unlikely at this point. It seems like Capcom has given on Mega Man since Inafune's departure and even though Neku is making an appearance in the upcoming Kingdom Hearts 3DS, I don't really think he's a big enough third party character to warrant a playable slot yet. After about a month of deliberation, I've made up a list of the 16 characters that I think will make appearances in the upcoming Smash games for Wii U and 3DS. I've based my…

So, I guess tickets to Paris are expensive this time of year? Who knows…all I know was that this song became the standout song from their 2011 album Watch The Throne. Enjoy the video.

I was very happy to see my review copy arrive in the mail last week, and have enjoyed the dozens of hours I’ve spent with the game. This game does not redefine the genre, or offer up a ton of new concepts, but it is one of the most polished and well-rounded action RPGs of this generation. Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is everything you expect in a game, and so much more.

    Independent games have certainly taken a lot of the spotlight and have grown at a rapid pace in the past few years of this generation, but unfortunately, most of them do get overshadowed by some of the big names in the industry, and the ones that do make a mark deserve far more attention than what they receive. These titles push forward with innovation as their vanguard and it’s not surprising to see even some of the AAA titles taking a cue from them. With countless hours of dangerously addictive gameplay and more variety than most AAA releases , these titles take Value for Money to a…

Essentially, it’s a combined application/cloud service that allows you to load data into a special folder on your hard drive that will be uploaded to a corner of the company’s data centre. From there, it will automatically download to any computer that you install the Dropbox application to, keeping documents and changes synced up across the network linked to your account.

    2 Feb 2012 | 7:15 am
    There are those who would have you believe that the revolutions that began in Tunisia last year before burning a path across the Middle East are over, either having achieved their putative ends in unseating dictators and electing parliaments like in Egpyt, or being stopped in their tracks by massive and sustained repression like in Saudi Arabia or Bahrain. The truth, inconveniently enough, is that the revolutions are neither entirely victorious nor entirely defeated. The fight to claim real political power for the majority of the population continues to shake the inheritors of the Arab…

In one January 2010 email from “WhiteNewsNow” with the subject “Your Beautiful Pontoon Bridge”, Griffin is described as…

    Trawling through abandoned drafts of old posts is often much like dredging a canal — a sediment of unidentified rubbish, broken constructions and an overall stench of rotting death. Still, sometimes you turn up something worth looking at, which I hope this short rant may  prove to be. Reading the thoroughly unsurprising news this morning that developer Glu Mobile has upped the price of the top weapon in their Gun Bros mobile title to the equivalent of $500, I found myself in kind of a reflective mood about the industry. Ste Curran, he of One Life Left, put the current situation extremely…

    A couple weeks ago, Tanner Sandlin of Austin, Texas, dug up a boxed copy of Air Raid for Atari 2600, and sold it on eBay for $31,600. Inevitably, people are digging through their closets to see if they’ve got easy money collecting dust. Now, two more Air Raid cartridges are on sale, though they lack the original box that made the first auction so successful. The first auction is for a cartridge in good condition, and the seller is the second owner, having purchased the game from the original owner in April 2009. Current bids are over $1,600, with five days left in the auction. The…

    The Colorado Rocky Mountains are going to get more game-like this ski season, with a new program that rewards skiers with achievements and other metrics as they ride. Epic Mix, which debuts Colorado ski resorts in November, uses radio frequency identification, or RFID. With an RF tag built into every lift ticket, the mountain knows where you ride, the lifts you take and the distance you ski, and Epic Mix doles out achievements based on your accomplishments. For lack of a better word, the achievementification of real life is not unique to Epic Mix. An iPhone app called Epic Win provides an…

  • October Game Sales Disappoint According to NPD (11/12/2011)

    12 Nov 2011 | 2:49 am
    Video game sales topped $621 million for the month of October, representing a 1-3% increase in sales over this time last year. Unfortunately, analysts had expected the video game market to increase by about 14%. This past month's sales are wildly lower than even conservative estimates, showing a disappointing month for the industry at large. The slow growth for this past month seems to show that the game industry may be flat for the year, or even down a bit over last year's numbers, despite a stonger month in October. Growth over last year was led by Battlefield 3, which sold over 5 million…

    Scarygirl is a fairly typical blend of side-scrolling 3D fun, with a uniquely psychedelic art design complimented by decently implemented gameplay and traditional platforming charm.  While it may not be a groundbreaking or sensationally must-have experience, Scarygirl does elevate itself above most other subpar adaptations of popular non-video game franchises. That’s right, Scarygirl is actually an adaptation of a flash game which is in and of itself based on a popular graphic novel. Scarygirl’s  first foray into the gaming community is a solid one to be sure, but I found myself…

Some loved it, since it came really close in recreating the fun gameplay from the Nintendo take on kart racing, while others called it an unoriginal clone that only offered different character skins and nothing else. The criticism is apparently not stopping Sega to release a sequel for this holiday season though.Kotaku reports that today at the New York Toy Fair, toys associated with the Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing game were spotted at Sega’s booth. An attendant has reportedly confirmed plans…

  • EA: 20% of Gamers Prefer Playing “Connected Yet Offline”

    While online gaming has taken off like wildfire over the past couple of years, there is still a substantial minority that prefers to game offline.This doesn’t necessarily mean that they are disconnected from the internet, however, as pointed out by EA’s Peter Moore. According to Moore, speaking specifically in reference to Battlefield 3 to Kotaku, approximately 20% of gamers prefer to play offline while remaining connected to the internet.Our telemetry might tell us that as many as 20% just want to play almost offline—connected yet offline.So what does this tell us exactly?

  • Sony: We Should Probably Develop Less Games

    Sebastian Moss
    10 Feb 2012 | 6:17 pm
    Despite being one of the best publishers in the industry, and managing to bring out critical hit after critical hit, Sony has failed to produce huge chart-topping games like Gears of War and Halo. Outside of Gran Turismo, Sony’s IPs have yet to hit the big time, partially due to poor marketing – something that Sony’s Worldwide Studios President has taken notice of.When questioned by GameInformer why Microsoft were able to sell just one game in 2011, Gears of War 3 (although, to be fair, they did have other games), and it still managed to sell more than all of Sony’s…

  • Sony Might Ditch Android For a Vita OS

    Lazy Droid Guy
    13 Feb 2012 | 12:01 am
    Obviously, the Android OS is in Sony's mobile phones and tablets but it might not be far away when the Vita OS takes over. Considering the company lost €247 million last year, Sony's looking to make a change. They already bought out Ericsson so they would have 100% control of their mobile division. Maybe branching away from Google's "clutches" might be a good move for them.

    Anyone dismissing the GoPano micro as some gimmicky tool does not understand the value of this system. The guys got a chance to see this at the CES Unveiled press event and told me about it. Victor (who's the pro video guy in our crew) talked about the many use cases it could address in a variety of scenarios and I was intrigued. I used to be into autocrossing and road racing so using the 360 camera could be very useful for addressing tactics and spatial awareness after the race. I could see this being used in providing 360 views inside real estate or freezing a crime scene for law…

    I've personally been in the mobile industry as a salesman for at least 10 years now. During that time, one thing I thought would never change was AT&T's upgrade fee of $18. Seeing as it was a standard for many years, AT&T customers just started being accustomed to this charge. Now, out of the blue, AT&T is increasing their upgrade fee to $36 on February 12th.

  • Upcoming Single-Player Role-Playing Games (RPGs) of 2012

    Dungeoncrawler
    6 Feb 2012 | 7:40 pm
    Let’s take a look into role-playing game releases for the upcoming year 2012. Whether it’s classic Rpg, action Rpg or hack’n’slash, I will include it. I have included what I feel are, rather major rpg releases for this year to come. Majority of these are from big publishers with a few interesting indie releases thrown into the mix. I have come to notice that there is lack of medium sized game companies developing authentic role-playing games. The games are mainly either huge major releases, thus being commercial and simplified for the masses, or they are very small indie releases,…

Fortunately for Gaijin Entertainment, Birds of Steel is a clear example of a game made by folks who are passionate about the time period they’re working in. A World War II simulator, Birds sports more than 100 playable planes, ranging from fighters to bombers to transport craft. Each of them is authentic in just about every way possible. Full cockpits, plane-specific handling, and period appropriate decals are all lovingly recreated so that hardcore history buffs can take the skies in…

  • Ubisoft’s survival horror games are amazing

    Codie Vincent
    10 Feb 2012 | 9:34 am
    Until the Xbox 360 rolled around and put an end to major third-party exclusives, Microsoft consoles and survival-horror games did not mesh well. Case in point; Capcom kept the Resident Evil franchise off of the original Xbox (but we really appreciated Genma Onimusha and Dino Crisis 3, you guys). As a result, there was little meat on the genre’s bones, as horror fans had to make due with substandard scares from the likes of Obscure and Curse: The Eye of Isis. This wouldn’t have been a huge bother had the genre fallen down the drain it had been circling for years. After the first…

However, lately I’ve had some major issues with this game. Supposedly after their most recent DLC (Fenix Rising) people who were unable to get the DLC were left on crap servers, while people who were able to get it were given ‘dedicated servers’ to play on. Only these so-called ‘dedicated servers’ didn’t last very long. When the Fenix Rising DLC first came about, I was in a rough spot and…

That’s the prediction Nomura Securities gave recently, which sets the game up for an April 2013 – March 2014 release. Also, we’re no sure if Nomura Securities has inside information or if it’s just making a bold guess. The firm also predict earnings of ¥60 billion for said fiscal year, with much positive feedback coming from Nomura after Konami showed strong growth in the social games market.

    Double Fine’s attempt to finance an old school adventure game through Kickstarter met with massive success. At the time of this article the project has raised $1,635,090. No I didn’t misplace a comma, the project is well on it’s way to almost 2 million dollars! Considering that $400,000 was the original goal I’d say they slaughtered their original goal. While I’m extremely excited about a new adventure game being made by Double Fine I can’t help but wonder what impact Kickstarter could have on the industry.

    The pen is more powerful than the blade, they say. In this situation, the pen is more powerful than the stake. For decades there was just one way to get rid of vampires, however with the latest developments in science, innovation, technology and literature a new strategy of eradication has been unveiled: character defamation through mass-produced teen fiction. This strategy does not remove the creature of the night, but his popularity is so ruined that he can never show his face to the public again.

    Something is been annoying me, and I really need to know the answer: can a zombie really like you with all of his heart? It’s just that, the other day I shot a zombie through it’s heart with a .357 hollow-point and he still kept trying to hug me! Just kept shambling ahead with hands outstretched and a lovely look on what was left left of his face. He didn’t quit until I shot him through his head. So I have to wonder… does that mean zombies really love with their heads instead of their hearts?

    The Final Fantasy brand has a long and highly lauded history. What started as a last ditch effort to save a struggling game company, truly their final fantasy, has grown enormously over the years. Where the RPG was originally thought to be unmarketable in the west, Final Fantasy was there to prove naysayers wrong. As Final Fantasy has grown however, many believe that it has lost its way. Final Fantasy XIII received many mixed reviews and was generally looked at as a bad mark on an otherwise great franchise. Gamers were therefore surprised to see Final Fantasy XIII-2 announced the following…

Those three titles were some of my favourite games on the PS2 and I’ve even beaten the original four times prior (it only takes 3-4 hours). Now, as you can see, I awarded the collection a 9 and not a 10, which I was hoping to do. It’s not that the collection has anything inherently wrong with it, the issue just lies with how much time has passed since the games released.  Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy was released 11 years ago when the PS2 was still in…
