We got a new video for Family Guy that features some oddly marionette-ish characters delivering similarly wooden jokes.

Flame on! Fantastic Four first shots (Fantastic 4)

3/03/2005

Despite being scooped up by Activision at the start of the decade, the Fantastic Four have been doing a better job of keeping a low profile than Sue Storm (AKA Invisible Girl). That is until now. Because, through a mixture of carefully calibrated gamma radiation and a few phone calls, we have managed to penetrate their barrier and snag some hot shots of the game in both solo mode and two-player, co-op action. With a script scribbled by Zak Penn, the writer of the X2 X-Men United film, the ...

Kotaku's 2007 Games of the Year and Overall Game of the Year (Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer)

29/12/2007

Kotaku's Brian Crecente writes:

"Our first-ever Game of the Year awards was a pretty straight forward deal. I asked all of the writers to submit a list of three games for each category and the three that showed up most in each category made it as a finalist. Once we had the list of finalists I asked each writer to go through and order the finalists and then tallied the vote. The one with the most points was named Game of the Year, the runner-up was named Not Quite Game of the Year. The game with the most votes for Worst Game of the Year received that dubious honor."

Super Mario Galaxy won Kotaku's Overall Game of the Year award. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune came as second, it won the Not Quite Game of the Year award. (Kotaku posted the overall results as a separate post, see the link at the Alternative Sources below for more details.)

Fatal Frame III first shots (Fatal Frame 3 The Tormented)

27/05/2005

If there's one series of survival-horror games that terrifies us so much that we simply refuse to play them alone and in the dark, it's Tecmo's Fatal Frame. Called Project Zero in Europe, both of the previous games managed to evoke an atmosphere of tangible fear by blending subtle scare tactics with jump-inducing sudden shocks, successfully reducing players to a wreck of jangled nerves. Fatal Frame III The Tormented continues the basic premise of its predecessors, with players once again ...
