Video of the day: First Heavy Rain game footage
Actually, we can’t be sure how much of this is in game or not, but it certainly is showing off more than the infamous crying trailer. You get a couple of quick glimpses of one level (a neighborhood in the rain, who’d have guessed?) and some shots of the team modeling characters. And yes, it’s still as graphically impressive as it ever was.
The intriguing part of Heavy Rain, however, is its legacy. The same team who made Indigo Prophecy is working on this, too. Their games have in the past shown a desire to break free from the normal confines of gaming and try something new. Heavy Rain looks to follow in that tradition. While many might have shed a tear at Final Fantasy VII’s shocking twist (you know which one), it appears Heavy Rain might be the first title to truly carry emotional weight that lingers with its audience. Well, that’s both the hype and the hope.

Video of the day: old school Paper Mario
about 2 years ago - Comments Off
Ever wondered what some folks did before video games? Before they had a DS or a Wii to draw all those pretty graphics for them? Well, they drew their own. It seems some folks simply can’t give up that old lifestyle, though, as they’ve taken to creating their own hand drawn video games. In this
Video of the day: Ninja Gaiden anime remake
about 2 years ago - View Comments
It may not sound like it at first, but Ninja Gaiden for the NES is the perfect title to get an anime redo. The game was one of the first to really use cut-scenes to tell a story within what was otherwise a general action platformer. This update is certainly stylish and adds the right
Video of the day: Return to Dark Castle trailer
about 2 years ago - View Comments
You may not remember Dark Castle, but it already spawned one classic sequel. Think of it as a medieval Prince of Persia, but in black and white and for the Mac. The update is nothing graphically to crow about, but then again it isn’t trying to be. It’s classic 2D gaming celebrating its 2Dness. As
Video of the day: Valkyria Chronicles trailer is poetry in motion
about 2 years ago - Comments Off
There aren’t many games that can wow you simply by seeing them play, and having little to do with the sharpness of their graphics. Valkyria Chronicles, much like Okami before it, is simply poetry in motion. It’s a game that’s just beautiful to watch, regardless of how it plays. Now, let’s hope the gaemplay is
Video of the day: DS and iPhone make sweet music together
about 2 years ago - Comments Off
Who says the DS and iPhone have to be mortal enemies? Perhaps, the beauty of music can bring these two touch friendly devices together? That’s just what three enterprising individuals have tried with their video “iBand.” Two iPhones and one DS playing Electroplankton team up for a nice little tune together. One has to wonder

This site has featured Zelda landscapes created from Legos in the past. This site has featured CG animated Zelda video adventures in the past. Now, finally, comes the Lego Legend of Zelda adventure video. Yes, this is stop motion. Yes, this is crudely done. And yes, it is pretty cool despite its flaws. One question
Video of the day: Perfect Dark Source for PC
about 2 years ago - View Comments
Yes, it’s another one of those fun and very impressive game remakes using the Source engine. This time it’s the N64 classic Perfect Dark. Now, for the younger gamers out there, please don’t confuse the original Perfect Dark with its sickly sequel Perfect Dark Zero. The original was the spiritual sequel to GoldenEye 007 and

If you haven’t heard of Shards of Death 5 yet, you will. Still, it seems a real shame that this poor little fella couldn’t find a role for himself in the most anticipated sequel of the year. Oh well, there’s always the chance that with Mario Kart Wii there will be a resurgence in the
Video of the day: Super Monkey Ball on iPhone
about 2 years ago - View Comments
Sure, rumors that the iPhone was prepared to take on Nintendo and Sony may have been scoffed at in the past, but is anyone laughing now? Sega recently premiered a demo of Super Monkey Ball (perhaps their best creation post-Dreamcast) running on Apple’s iPhone. Developed using the iPhone’s new software development kit (SDK), the game

Holy f**king sh*t. This link is broken, but the real-time demos on GT are just incredible. I got the shivers watching the “casting” demo – not your typical metaphorical “that was kinda creepy” shivers, I’m talking “This is the best CG short I’ve ever seen, that virtual actress scared the pants off of me, and this game could be the future of videogames as a storytelling medium” shivers. Please, Sony, don’t let this one get fucked up.
