Capcom has recently released some shots and footage of more new characters for their upcoming Super Street Fighter IV versus fighter. Well, “new” isn’t exactly the right word to describe them. All three of them are from the Street Fighter Alpha series: Adon, a Muay Thay fighter with a grudge against Sagat, and Final Fight [...]

The Settlers series is a grandaddy that brought aspects of gameplay which still feature in titles to this day, and part 2  (TS2) is arguably the best of the series. The primary game mode follows a group of Romans who find themselves marooned on an island, and they must establish settlements and explore before discovering [...]

In an interview with MCV, Square Enix chief Yoichi Wada had a great many things to say with his meatflaps, most of them about consoles, console games and the future. Being a Time Lord, Wada has a great deal of insight into the far-flung tomorrow of the day after. “In ten years’ time a lot of [...]

This is the story of the world’s most honest rhythm game. The popularity that music games have enjoyed in the last few years rests upon their central conceit, a contract established with the player that is simultaneously sublime and silly: that by picking up a downscaled plastic (toy) instrument, you too can live the dream. [...]

If you’re a fan of Nathan Drake – and let’s be honest, who isn’t? – then you might be interested in downloading the new Uncharted Motion comics that are available now on the Euro PSN – for free (well, apart from the ridiculous internet costs). Apparently there will be four parts in total, of which [...]

It seems that enough Xbox 360 users in the US have been negatively affected by Microsoft’s indiscriminate ban of modified Xbox 360’s on Xbox Live to interest law firm Abington IP to start a campaign for a class action lawsuit against them. Chief among their allegations is that Microsoft’s ban is “indiscriminate” and affects 360 [...]

The Might and Magic games have always been great. From the glorious World of Xeen back in the golden era of RPG classics, to the incredibly buggy (yet still pretty gosh-darn fun) Dark Messiah, these games have made a long-term impact in an ever-evolving market. For this delightful little review, we’ll turn our discussion to [...]

You can play six classic Atari games over at their new site here, click on this link, that’s right, just like that. Now you too can experience the genius that is Yar’s Revenge: “Atari’s best selling original title for the 2600, you are a Yar: an insectoid creature who must nibble or shoot through a barrier [...]

We’ve mentioned the Experimental Gameplay Project on NAG before, namely for its focus on rapid game development. With a mandatory “one week only” rule for game creation, this project gives developers from all over the chance to explore and ever-so-slightly flesh out a lot of really cool game concepts. The Experimental Gameplay Project (henceforth known [...]

If you’re a fan of Borderlands and you’ve already played every single mission available, then you’ll be happy to hear that some brand new Downloadable Content for it should be available by the time you read this, on Xbox Live at least – PS3 owners who connect to the Euro PlayStation Network might have to [...]

From A Life Well Wasted, comes the single most important poster any gamer could own. Not only does it remind you what’s Super Effective, it also shows – via colour-coding – all the Vital Bits a gamer must know to attack, hit, shoot, swing at or eat, if you’re going For The Win.

2009 is almost over, and what a year it’s been! You’re in for a treat this month, as we divulge all the dirt on Joe Mad’s upcoming Darksiders, chat to the creators of Avatar: The Game, and get a behind-the-scenes peak at Warren Spector’s Epic Mickey.

Since its debut on the PS3, the Ratchet and Clank series seems to have finally gained a continuing story. Before that, each game seemed to stand alone, with few recurring or meaningful characters. That all changed with Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction, which ended in a cliffhanger hinting at more to come. While waiting [...]

This: Pure awesome, really. Found over at Geekologie, who found it elsewhere, as these things tend to happen on the internet: this amazing Big Daddy/Little Sister cosplay was taken at the Georgia Aquarium by Harrison Krix, who made the Big Daddy suit and Little Sister ADAM syringe. He’s also IN the suit, and that’s his fiancee [...]

Recently, C-Net conducted a study in the UK regarding the reliability of the three major consoles: The Xbox 360, the PS3 and the Wii. The Xbox 360 was easily the most notorious, which is something we already knew – but the actual numbers may shock you. Of their study group which included Xbox 360 owners [...]

Back in 2007, when the term “next-gen” was still being used liberally to describe the kinds of games that gamers wanted and weren’t getting (apparently) Assassin’s Creed was one of the first to show us what our current machines are truly capable of, and what kind of new games can be made with a little creative [...]

Hey, who remembers Atari’s Paperboy? Ah, bland suburban complacency, the muted rustle of newspapers hitting the lawn, and a halcyon age of wide-eyed innocence when videogames were about things like, well, chucking newspapers. Now, Postal – its obvious titular connotations notwithstanding – isn’t quite the same sort of thing. This is the other, grislier sort [...]

Just recently, No More Heroes was announced for the PS3 and Xbox 360. This updated version will feature HD visuals and a variety of new modes, including one where the female characters run around in skimpy outfits for some as-yet undisclosed reason. The game hasn’t actually been announced for a release outside of Japan just [...]
