I keep returning to the positively baleful-looking Nayan Ramachandran’s blog HDR Lying, and his latest excellent editorial, from the Japanese-based school teacher and gaming acolyte, is called ‘Controlling the Future: Touching the Game Space in the Coming Generation’.
The introduction explains: “The fight to create the new innovative control method for the future of video […]

The Bungie weekly update was a big one for Halo fans this week. In this weeks update, Bungie talks about their co-op pains, their podcast, the tweaks the Energy Sword is gong through, their latest contest and of course, the WETA designed Warthog.
Um. The dudes at WETA made a Warthog. I don’t mean that […]

Moviehole.net — a site whose name seems like Kevin Smith's idea of satire — seems to have acquired a casting sheet for the upcoming movie based on Namco's Tekken series. Allow me to quote the applicable information:
Rehearsal Dates: September, 2007. Principal Photography Dates: November, 2007 (in Budapest, Hungary). STORY: The film is […]

Germans like technology and guns, offer up new GTA IV scans and info

After the truly pathetic demo of Grand Theft Auto IV at Take-Two Interactive's press conference at this year's E3 ("Hi, this is GTA IV and it looks nice! We're going to drive really slowly down the street and OK BYE THANKS FOR BEING HERE AT 8AM!"), I'm hungry for more information. Rockstar has historically been […]

Apparently playing too much Shinobi around the office, Sega has decided to sneak up on the Internet with beta sign-ups for their upcoming RTS, Universe at War: Earth Assault. For the lucky who will be chosen, the beta begins on August 15, a few months before the game ships. The game will also be […]

Xbox division sees stunning loss; MS scoffs, buys Jupiter
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
According to this article at Game|Life, Microsoft's Xbox division has posted a $1.89 billion loss for the fiscal year, a 47% increase over the previous year's losses. Attributed mainly to the donkey-chokingly huge wad of cash MS has set aside to cover their ass in the Red Ring O' Death debacle, the tremendous loss […]

The folks at N creator Metanet Software have been posting some absolutely fascinating, uber-technical blog pieces recently, and the latest is an in-depth look at creating the physics for their upcoming title Robotology, posted in two parts.
It’s explained of their plans to create a suitable complex physics system for their indie title: “Thankfully, Mare […]

Nintendo has done some great things in their time. It is the one company to have fanboys and fangirls who don't get ridiculed at every turn, in fact it's almost okay to be one (hey, just look at Ninjtendo <3). So when I was asked if I wanted to cover a Nintendo event for Destructoid, […]

Strippable Dead or Alive figures for the dirty, shameful win
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Those chaps over at the Hair Palace bring news of sordid plastic debauchery in the form of a rather skimpy Ayane (Dead or Alive Xtreme 2) figurine that can show even more flesh than it bares by default. It's not like her skirt and top leave much to the imagination as it is, but […]

Dynasty Warriors Gundam and the case of the missing demo
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
In news that is sure to disappoint one person, that person being me, Namco Bandai announced a playable demo for its collaboration with KOEI, Dynasty Warriors Gundam, only to deliver a big steaming plate of nothing. There were doubtless at least three Americans who think they're Japanese waiting to pretend to be robots, but sadly […]
