There’s a neat feature up on Gameplayer at the moment. It’s pulling back the veil on the voice actors behind 70 of gaming’s greatest characters (though they cheat on some, and others aren’t so great). The cheaters are using guys like John “Bender” Di Maggio, who have done voice work for tons of characters, and…
Yup, more from Robbie Bach’s supporting role during yesterday’s Microsoft CES keynote. While rappin’, he announced that since the release of the first Halo, over 25 million games in the series have been sold. That’s across all three games across both platforms, so we’re looking at an average of five million sales for each. Impressive!…
Shape-shifting sandbox title Prototype is ready to morph onto consoles this summer. It’s got superhero strength, stealth and even parkour. Something for the whole family! Check out this new video clip of the game in action. New Prototype video is incredible [VG247]
Metal Gear Solid 4’s promotional campaign was quite easy on the eye. But it was also serious. These Metal Gear Solid 4 posters by LittleBigPlanet creators Media Molecule are less serious. There are three sackified posters to ogle, along with a printer-friendly, high-resolution version of a replacement box art for Metal Gear Solid 4. Or…
This is serious stuff. Very serious. An interoffice Namco conversation regarding changing panty colors for the Dreamcast version of SoulCalibur. No, really. According to the individual who supplied these pages to game site UK:R, “I have deleted the recipient’s name for privacy, but it’s a genuine fax.” So, yeah, go on, read and remember: THIS…
Bit hard not to be excited about Gearbox’s new Aliens shooter. But how can we plan our excitement schedule if we don’t know when the game’s coming out? A presser sent out by Sega Europe today has the game tentatively slated for a “Q1 2009” release. That’s obviously not a calendar Q1, since then it’d…
What better way to celebrate the New Year than with new PSP colors. Sony Computer Entertainment Asia is doing just that with not one, but two new PSP shades. On January 15, SCE Asia is releasing PSP-3006s in “Radiant Red” and “Vibrant Blue.” Each is priced at $1,380 HKD (US$177). The PSP, Now In “Carnival…
Sony have two in-house racing developers. Evolution Studios, who do MotorStorm, and SCEE Liverpool, who do WipeOut. Seems a bit silly having two teams doing the one genre, doesn’t it? Does to Sony. In an interview with GI.biz, Sony’s Michael Denny says that, while the two studios currently share the same management, the two will…
Be careful! As an elementary school teacher in her twenties found out, people do steal things at Japanese game centers. And sometimes it’s worse than money. The teacher’s purse contained her class register, and that contained personal information about the students such as their names, personal info and a class photo. She is in charge…
Kodu is Microsoft’s crack at this whole user-generated content thing. Technically, it looks promising! But my Lord, XNA title or not, those visuals need some work.
That’s Gears of War 2 Flashback Map Pack is now available on Xbox LIVE Markeplace. Remember that? The five maps are 400 Microsoft Points (US$5). Not a bad deal. These maps were supposed to be available for free only to those who purchased the game new at GameStop game retailers. Well, there the formerly free…
According to sources speaking to CVG, Ubisoft are planning to release new versions of both Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six this year. Try and regain your composure from the shock of it all to read on.

Girls only. Japan’s Asahi Shimbun has an article about how Japanese arcades are banning men from sticker picture machines. Why’d they do that? According to the piece, “A growing number of arcade operators are banning men from areas around these machines—popularly known as purikura—to protect customers, such as high school students, from men trying to…
Final Fantasy XIII is due out this year in Japan. For those who are unfamiliar with its battle system, let’s learn about it.

Over on his blog, Infinity Ward’s Robert Bowling has posted some user statistics they’ve gleaned from the 360 version of Call of Duty 4. Stuff like how there’s now been, oh, over 10,000,000 unique users. Yeah. More than ten million. And that’s just those who got a copy and have played at least once over…
Worldwide, Metal Gear Solid 4 racked up big sales numbers — 4.3 million copies, actually. Sony, apparently, expects the same or better from Killzone 2. What about you? An unnamed and unconfirmed Sony employee reportedly told game site V For Video Games, ““It would be a lie to say Sony has not invested heavily in…
1UP is a husk. EGM is dead. Sad news, especially for subscribers, especially for those anticipating what would have been the magazine’s 20th anniversary issue. But hey, chin up, here’s your silver lining. Former EIC James Mielke has posted the cover of the ill-fated February 2009 issue of the magazine, an issue that should have…
In an announcement that should surprise no one, developer Level 5 has confirmed its PS3 exclusive White Knight Chronicles is getting a North American release. When asked if this was in the cards, Level 5 president and CEO Akihiro Hino replied, “Yes, it should be, but the launch date has not been determined yet.” What’s…
Remember last year, we brought word of “Buko”, an XNA title that Microsoft were quietly showing off which sounded suspiciously like LittleBigPlanet? Well it’s not quiet anymore, they just showed it during the CES keynote. Renamed “Kodu”, the game admittedly looks nothing like LittleBigPlanet. In fact, it’s not even really as much a game as…
The release date for the Ghostbusters game has been announced by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment in a Ghostbusters Blu-ray movie release — accidently announced, maybe! Doh.
