On Bill Murray, And Ghostbusters Dialogue [Ghostbusters]
28 April 2008This post brought to you by Kotaku.
Best part of the new Ghostbusters game has got to be the fact the title will feature the voices of the movie cast. But…are they actually going to record new dialogue? Or is the game just going to use canned soundbytes from the two movies? Good news, […]

28 April 2008This post brought to you by Kotaku.
Pssst. Hey, buddy. Grand Theft Auto IV is out tomorrow. It’s actually already out for gamers who live in The Future, but don’t tell anyone. Because, apparently, Rockstar Games is trying to keep things quiet on the GTA IV front. That’s according to an AP report, the one […]

28 April 2008This post brought to you by Kotaku.
PlayStation Gamer Advisory Panel members ought to check (and re-check) their spam filters, as they may be on the receiving end of an unsolicited Metal Gear Online beta invite. Our helpful tipsters—who moonlight as lucky bastards—have already been notified that they’ll be able to participate without having to […]
Miyamoto Never Thought He’d Be Making Wii Fit [Nintendo]
28 April 2008This post brought to you by Kotaku.
Over the weekend, Famitsu held its Famitsu Award 2007 ceremony, giving industry luminaries awards — because hey, Famitsu does more than give 10s and crunch press releases! Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto got the MVP award with “MVP” standing for “Most Valuable Person.” Clever! Said Miyamoto:
Ladies and gentlemen, thank […]
No XBLA Release This Week. It doesn’t come … [Xbox Live Arcade]
28 April 2008This post brought to you by Kotaku.
No XBLA Release This Week. It doesn’t come as much of a surprise to learn from Xbox’s Larry Hryb that we won’t see an Xbox Live Arcade release this Wednesday. Not only would some poor, unfortunate XBLA release go nearly completely ignored by the GTA IV playing masses, […]
College Humor Taking On Halo [Halo]
28 April 2008This post brought to you by Kotaku.
Remember the guy in the self-made Master Chief armor at the New York launch of Halo 3? Seems like we weren’t the only ones to take notice of his shiny metal carapace. The folks at College Humor, creators of Street Fighter: The Early Years, got in touch […]
Report: UPS Is Stealin’ Ur GTA IV [Gta Iv]
28 April 2008This post brought to you by Kotaku.
As we’re about to crest on the Grand Theft Auto IV hype wave, Ars Technica passes on a somewhat amusing, definitely puzzling anecdote, writing that UPS may be experiencing an upswing in employee theft, with GTA IV to blame. Hearsay? Oh, totally, but Ars passes on that “In […]

Re: I’m Sorry Mister Ashukurafuto, Really, Truly Sorry
So I spent the morning down at the local PBS affiliate taping an interview with X-Play for their big GTA IV blow-out tonight. Last week Bloomberg and ABC World News both interviewed me and tomorrow I’m doing three live […]
Battlefield Heroes Shows Off Its Character Customization Chops [Clips]
28 April 2008This post brought to you by Kotaku.
Character customization in DICE’s Battlefield Heroes certainly looks deep, but we suspect the majority of the good stuff will be had via microtransaction only. I mean, they can’t possibly give away the ability to sport a wooden leg for free, can they? The many ways one can primp […]
Guardian Warns Politicians, Columnists: Gamers Are Taking Over, Deal With It [Government]
28 April 2008This post brought to you by Kotaku.
Richard Bartle, co-author of the original MUD, as MTV Multiplayer’s Stephen Totilo was kind enough to remind us, has a warning for UK politicians—and, we assume, the other silver haired no-funster luddite types—that their wrinkly old asses are about to be in the minority. That is, the minority […]
