There’s going to be a Fullmetal Alchemist RPG for the PSP – and it looks pretty cool. Right now we’ve got Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood going great guns in both the US and the UK so while this preview is entirely in Japanese we can be hopeful the game makes the leap to an English version. […]
Fable 3 borrows from Batman and Python – John Cleese will be your butler
There have been plenty teasers of information snippets from Molyneux about Fable 3. We know he’s interested in Natal and that the game will focus on royalty and running the realm. GDC has created some more teasers. Kotaku has some screenshots (sampled below). We were also told that British comedy hero John Cleese will play […]
Sadie O’Down, Insignificant Other, versus Kratos, God of War 3
I don’t always think Sony gets it right with their TV advertising. This ad for God of War 3, however, is fantastic. Actually; it might not be Sony behind this one – could be the developers Santa Monica Studio – but my hunch is that it’s Sony. Why is the ad any good? Because it’s […]
Not happy with how Final Fantasy XIII is being advertised in the UK? Blame OMD
Square Enix UK have engaged in a bit of agency shuffling prior to the promotion of Final Fantasy XIII this year. The account is worth 6 figures – that’s a lot of money to the agency involved. Square Enix had been with MJ Media but Eidos, which Square Enix bought last year, had been using […]
Stainless Games grabs Darren Barnett
Barnett comes to Stainless via Eidos where he was their Development Director. At Eidos Barnett oversaw games like Tomb Raider and Hitman. Stainless Games, based in the UK, have been ramping up their senior management team after the success of the Magic The Gathering, Duels of the Planeswalkers, game and a new deal with Wizards […]
Sony buys Media Molecule – LittleBigPlanet and security
Sony have bought Media Molecule. Media Molecule are the dev house behind PlayStation’s run away online success LittleBigPlanet. You only need to look at how heavily LittleBigPlanet features – still – in PlayStation’s advertising to see how important a game this is for them. Over at the PlayStation EU blog we get the official lowdown […]
Tahiticora in a thong – is it an advert for Xbox?
The marketing gossip site AdRants claims the following video is an ad for Microsoft’s Xbox. The research I’ve had to put into this is terrible. Terrible. There is certainly a model called Tahiticora and she certainly seems to make an asset out of her ass. She’s also on Twitter. As well as publishing this video […]
Is the Alpha Protocol the Espionage RPG
They’re tagging the game as the “Espionage RPG” and I can see why – it looks like Splinter Cell. Splinter Cell wasn’t an RPG though and although this trailer looks pretty fantastic – it looks pretty linear too. Seems to me that the choices you make might not influence the plot all that much. Or […]
Monster Hunter Tri trailer
Not sure why they’re calling Monster Hunter 3 Monster Hunter Tri but they are. Not that it matters much but it means online retailers thinking about search will have to work out how to collect those would-be shoppers searching for Monster Hunter 3. The cinematic trailer looks impressive. I’ve not played any of the Monster […]
Mum raises $13,105 by selling one old Nintendo and 5 games on ebay
I’d be pretty annoyed if someone sold my old gaming console without asking my permission first. Let’s really hope that’s not what has happened here. A mum in the US, North Carolina in fact, put some old gaming gear form the attic on sale in ebay. It went for over $13,000. The reason? One of […]
