News So, Who Thought Brink Would Actually Have An Interesting Story?
We like a lot of what we've seen of Splash Damage's Brink, but the last thing we were expecting was an interesting narrative behind the first-person shooter
Apparently, we were very wrong to assume. It seems like the studio have gone some way towards setting up an interesting fiction. There's a utopia, floating city - the Ark. But it's over...
News There Are People Lending Their Voices For Fallout: New Vegas
While its safe to assume that the characters in Fallout: New Vegas will be about as animated as a desert rock, at least there's a bunch of "celebrity" talent being brought in to voice them
That might give the lifeless lumps of digital meat some character, right? (Sorry, we really did like Fallout 3 but, let's not pretend it didn't have issues.) A...
News Hey Look, Here Are Some More Screenshots Of Fallout: New Vegas
Bethesda's whacked up some new screenshots from Fallout: New Vegas
It continues to look like a Fallout game. They are pretty-ish. Well, pretty as far as Fallout games go anyway. Which isn't very pretty. We know people like to rag on us for thinking Fallout games don't look very good, but they don't. And let's be honest — miles of desert is not...
E3 2010 Fallout: New Vegas Dated For October
Bethesda's just dropped the October-bomb for Obsidian's upcoming entry in the Fallout franchise, Fallout: New Vegas
The game will launch on October 22nd here in Europe, with the US getting it a few days earlier on October 19th. We posted a new trailer for the game over the weekend, which you can check out through here. Given Fallout's pedigree, we...
E3 2010 Fallout: New Vegas Trailer Follows The Principles Of "Fallout Trailer 101"
Ultra close-up introduction? Check
Fifties doo-wop music? Check. Ugly graphics and janky animations? Check. Yup, that's right - Fallout's back, and this time it's headed to Vegas, New Vegas to be precise. This new trailer includes colour, gambling and all the other trademark features you'd expect from a Fallout game. Some people will be totally...
News Here's Your First Fallout: New Vegas Footage (Hint: It Looks Exactly The Same As Fallout 3)
"Fallout: New Vegas," declares IGN's Eric Brudvig, "It's just like Fallout 3
" We sit back, shut off the sound and watch. Yup, it's exactly the same as Fallout 3. That's not a bad thing though, right? Fallout 3 was pretty damn good. But it was also janky, broken and ugly. Oh well, eh? At least Eric Brudvig clarifies by stating, "It's just...
Rumour Elder Scrolls V Announcement Coming At E3
Bethesda fans - hold onto your hats
If Internet rumours are to be believed, the popular action-RPG studio are readying an announcement of enormous magnitude for this coming E3. How does Elder Scrolls V catch you? The rumour's all a bit higgledy-piggledy - it's true source runs back to Famitsu magazine where they've confirmed that publishers such as...
News Fallout: New Vegas Gets Particularly Drab Boxart
This Fallout: New Vegas boxart is not drab in the sense that it is boring - it's relatively stylish and eye-catching in fact
It's just drab in so much as it sums up what you're likely find within the game. Dark, rough, empty environments laced with annoyingly animated creatures. We liked Fallout 3 but, c'mon, it had more than its fair share of...
News Fallout: New Vegas Lands Bonus Goodies As Part Of Collector's Edition Package
How would you like some poker chips and playing cards with your copy of Fallout: New Vegas? Sure, ok
What if the playing cards were illustrated with characters and factions from in the game. Sure. How about a hardcover graphic novel written by the game's creative director and published by Dark Horse Comics? Sold! Throw in a "Making Of" DVD...
News Brink Continues To Look Ridiculously Stylish
Bethesda and Splash Damage's quirky first-person shooter Brink continues to look more stylish each time we see it
This time around Kotaku's got a bunch of new screens. The game's still on track to release this Holiday. It could end up being pretty big this one folks, so stay tuned.
News Fallout: New Vegas Screens Scream "Oh Yup, That's Fallout Alright"
We know we're going to get screamed at for this but, Fallout 3 is not a good looking game
And we're going to assume that Fallout: New Vegas is going to look like ass too. Particularly after seeing this first batch of screenshots from CVG. Will the game rock? Absolutely. Does it look like the most unappealing game ever based on its screenshots?...
News This Is Your Fist Look At Fallout: New Vegas
AGB have a few scans from Fallout: New Vegas in the latest issue of PC Gamer
Unsurprisingly they look rather a lot like Fallout. We wished there was perhaps something more to get excited about here, but Fallout's never been the strongest game visually and the scans aren't much to crow home about. Indeed, Fallout is all about the setting, and we're...
News Fallout: New Vegas Teased, Coming Autumn 2010
Bethesda's just confirmed to us that Fallout: New Vegas will hit the Playstation 3 this Autumn
There's not much on the actual game itself yet, but it has been confirmed that the Obsidian developed spin off will take all the action, humor, and post-apocalyptic grime and grit of this legendary series, and raise the stakes. There's a new trailer...
Rumour Fallout: New Vegas Details Leaked, Sorta Maybe
A mysterious post on the GameSpot forums claims to have a host of leaked information about Bethesda's upcoming Fallout: New Vegas
Of course, comment from the publisher is of the "no comment" variety, but that doesn't stop these details looking any more solid. Still the forum "leak" goes on a friend-of-a-friend basis, so take it...
News First Proper Brink Footage Looks Rather (Read: Very) Pretty
There's one thing you can ensure if you have Killzone 2's producer working on your game: it's going to look sensational
And Brink looks unreal right now. The gameplay videos dropped after the jump show a hyper-stylised universe with some super-tight shooting. Gameplay-wise, the demo looks fairly standard fare, but that art-style is wonderful. With...
News Splash Damage Want To Change Your Mind Regarding Multiplayer
We're not huge multiplayer gamers
We enjoy it, but we're not the type of people who can make a game's multiplayer mode last a year or two. That's just, meh. Still, there are a lot of gamers out there that don't even touch a multiplayer mode. And those are the type of people Splash Damage want to convert with their innovative FPS Brink."It's our...
News Fallout 3 Wins The Golden Joystick Awards, Killzone 2 Best Playstation Game
We've been very jealous today
While reading our surprisingly buoyant journo colleagues Tweets from sunny ol' London, we've been sat here in the gloomy Midlands typing stuff. Still, DJ Hero did come in the post. Score. Over in London though, a real party has kicked off as Fallout 3 won the annual Golden Joysticks "Ultimate Game Of The...

First Impressions Wet on Playstation 3
If Wet takes its core mechanics and continues to make them interesting over time, the Grindhouse setting will do more than enough to make this game a memorable arcade shooter
The best thing about Wet is that it knows exactly what it is. It's not trying to redefine arcade shooters, but at the same time it's blissfully aware it needs to change things...
News Bethesda Have "No Plans" To Release Any More Elder Scrolls Games, Yet
Elder Scrolls games are a bit of a favourite for most people
Bethesda though, aren't too interested in delivering any more. But Bethesda's Todd Howard spoke about his companies future with the franchise, stating there are "no plans" for a future release of the Elder Scrolls franchise. Of course a "no plans" statement does not...
News Wet Doesn't Get Get Hit By Holiday '09 Flu, Hits The US This September 15th
Thank goodness for that
Bethesda said Wet would come in 2009 and it is. September 15th 2009 to be precise for our American readers. The Tarantino inspired hack-and-slash-style-on-rails-with-a-Grindhouse-feel-esque game has earned a fair amount of praise over the past few months. Here's hoping it lives up to the hype.
News Fallout 3 DLC Will Be Heading To The Playstation 3 "By The End Of September"
We sat quietly through the whole of June waiting for Fallout 3's DLC
It never came. So we sat waiting longer. We're now midway through July and despite promises that the DLC is nearly finished, Bethesda have confirmed it'll arrive "by the end of September". The reason for the delay is because Bethesda want to change the order the packs are...
News Bethesda Reckon The First PS3 DLC Pack Is Nearing Completion
We sat waiting patiently for the first of the PS3 Fallout 3 DLC today
It never came. We got quite upset about it and trundled away from our PS3 back to the tennis. Alas, Bethesda predicted people must have been waiting and have quelled some fears, claiming Operation Anchorage is nearly ready for PS3 release. Unfortunately a date was not given.
E3 2009 Betheda & Splash Damage Collaborate On Sci-Fi Title "Brink"
We're going to be open right now and admit that aside from this trailer we don't have a clue what Brink is all about
We're guessing the gunshots mean there will be shooting. We're guessing from the monologue that it's going to be some kind of sci-fi game. Other than that, all we have is a release date, Spring 2010. Absolutely no doubt E3...
News Fallout 3 DLC Finally Confirmed For Playstation This Coming June
Just recently, we've been sitting around mulling over the fact that we'll probably never get to experience the Fallout 3 DLC
The DLC, which was in some kind of exclusivity deal with Microsoft, was rumoured destined to never be released on Playstation 3 - until Bethesda revealed otherwise today. Starting from late June PS3 owners will be given access...
News Bethesda To Publish Gun/Sword Action Title Wet
Upcoming multi-weapon action title Wet was thought to be lost as a part of the Vivendi uber-cull
