For $78 dollars, one would hope that this cute little Space Invaders alarm clock — endorsed by Taito itself — is something you can actually play the titular game upon. Otherwise, what’s the point? But unfortunately, it doesn’t appear as though the Space Invaders alarm clock allows you to play Space Invaders at all! [...]

This video also reveals how overexcited and pumped game devs typically are when they sit down to shoot diary trailers, although it’s hardly a fault to have excitement for a great project and if you read my review you’ll see that it’s completely justified excitement. Survival horror games depend largely on environmental attention to detail, [...]

Strategy gaming fans rejoice, Ubisoft has delivered a free, playable demo for the upcoming Tom Clancy’s Endwar to Xbox Live users. Xbox Live is currently the only place to find the demo, with release slated for November 4 for the 360 and PS3.

Warner Brothers has dropped a new trailer in our laps, another glimpse at the due-in-February F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin title. While the title draws a great deal of attention to itself on name and sequel value alone, WB seems very keen on impressing upon gamers that there is battle armor incorporated into this game.
Actually, lets [...]

Ubisoft is giving one more teaser for the upcoming Far Cry 2 release due on October 21 for 360, PS3 and PC, showing off a very cinematic feel for the game.
The tone of the presentation, in fact, seems very reminiscent of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and other modern gangster movies. [...]

Fans of the Suda 51 game No More Heroes, developed by Grasshopper Manufacture, will be happy to hear that a follow-up game is in development for the Wii. The game will be called No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle
Unusually though, the game is set to see two different releases across Europe. The reason for the double [...]

We had some good news in the form of developer/publisher Bethesda Softworks announcing that Fallout 3 had gone gold this week. But that was followed less than 24 hours later with bad news for the team who worked so hard to produce the game. The Xbox 360 version has already been pirated.
The game appeared on [...]

In preparation for the release of Crysis Warhead (and in celebration of its release on Steam) I took the chance to play through Crysis. This was a game that had incredible potential but ended up being known more for its hardware demands than its quality as a first person shooter. It’s not that Crysis was [...]

Sony’s intriguing LittleBigPlanet project has garnered quite a growing buzz around the gaming world over the last few months and with each morsel of information released has gotten closer to becoming a surefire hit. After spending some extensive, joyful, and insanely obsessive hands-on time with the online beta I can safely say this game [...]

If you have been gaming for more than a year or two it has probably become clear to you that gaming releases are highly seasonal. We get a few blockbusters in the summer, but come Q4 the amount of games released and the quality of the titles tends to spike. Of course not every game [...]

Update: Game’s Over! Look for a transcript tomorrow! But we’re all still chatting, so why not come in and say hi anyway?
It’s been quite a while since we held our last IRC event, but with the equinox drawing the summer days to a wane, it’s time once again to dust off the #boingboing IRC channel [...]

According to The Register, Sega is getting back into the hardware business. I have to say, I spend all day surfing the internet for gaming news to bring to our readers, and this one came way out of left field. Sega hasn’t done anything even close to this since the olden days of the Game [...]

German netbook blog EeePCNews has photographs of a prototype 9-cell battery that they claim will be released in November, juicing an MSI Wind or Medion Akoya for up to 10 hours.
It’s chunky, no doubt, but this pushes the MSI Wind back into the game for the prize of being my long delayed first netbook [...]

I’ve seen a number of implementations of Sudoku in the past, but this latest one from Giant Crayon Games takes Sudoku to a whole new level. First off, the company takes advantage of the accelerometer built-in to Intel-based Mac laptops to allow you to literally move and rotate your laptop to control the game. [...]
