Karaoke Revolution takes on American Idol (Karaoke Revolution Presents: American Idol)

23/08/2006

While Karaoke Revolution Presents: American Idol was first announced back in May, we didn't get a real glimpse of the game until today. For the first time (since the disastrously awful American Idol rhythm game, anyway), fans of the TV show will be able to go from auditions to finals, singing to impress Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson (but not Paula Abdul, strangely) while competing to become the next semi-talented performer contractually obligated to sing in Ford ...

Want more 'creative' games? Bring back the NES (Katamari Damacy)

5/11/2007

5 Nov, 2007 Ask any seasoned stick-twiddler to name a genuinely original game from the last five years and chances are that the first name that pops into their head is Namco's brilliant Katamari Damacy. Based on the fairly out-there premise of rebuilding the cosmos by rolling around a magical sticky ball, Katamari wooed gamers not just for its innovative core gameplay mechanic, but also its irresistible characters and bonkers style. We fell in love the moment we first saw the intro, which, if ...

New Katamari games coming? (Katamari Damacy)

10/11/2006

A trio of trademark applications have appeared in Japan rekindling hope that the Katamari series may make a return. For last month developer Namco Bandai registered three new names: Beautiful Katamari Damacy, Katamari Damacy Tres Bien and Katamari Damacy-kun. And while our hopes have been raised again, the names can't be taken as proof of the existence of new games because applications can also cover potential TV shows, movies, fluffy dolls, sweets and just about anything ...

Killer 7 shot splatter (Killer 7)

1/02/2005

Harman Smith has seven personalities trapped inside his head, which must make it difficult for him to work as a professional killer. After all, what point is there in cowering in the shadows when there is a good chance one of the people who lives in your brain is liable to start barking any moment? Just imagine trying to infiltrate an enemy base dressed in the pastel garb of a faceless technician while one of your personalities swigs from a bottle of meths and babbles about his 'mind-control ...

Killer 7 UK date confirmed! (Killer 7)

10/01/2005

There are numerous secrets still to be unveiled about Killer 7. Sure, it looks pretty but this cel-shaded enigma has revealed less than a Taliban fashion show. , we've all admired the style but, so far, no one outside of Capcom knows how it works, how it plays or even what kind of game it really is. But one nugget of information has finally escaped from Capcom HQ and that is a definite UK release date for both the PS2 and Gamecube versions: Friday 24 June. That might still seem a long way away ...

Killer 7 teases us again (Killer 7)

16/12/2004

Once again Capcom have fed the world more meagre morsels of their sumptuously screened Killer 7. So let us pause for a moment while your eyes absorb the PS2 and Gamecube glory that adorns this page so beautifully. Just look at the way the bloody third-person beatings smear and blur into brutal first-person shooting. It's lovely.But while you're revelling in the artistry, isn't it time that the world wondered why so little has been seen of this title? Why no one has managed to get their hands on ...

Killer 7: Stylish new shots (Killer 7)

29/09/2004

After its apparent slippage, things have been quiet on the Killer 7 front but Capcom have revived our interest with a batch of new psycho-killer screens. As befits the game to date, they're gorgeously stylish while giving very little actual gameplay info away.The screens focus on Kaede Smith, the 20-year-old female who is one of the seven assassin personalities that live within main character Harman Smith. The game uses a first-person shooting perspective, while in general you'll be running ...

Killer 7 gunning for PS2! (Killer 7)

30/01/2004

Originally announced as one of Capcom's much vaunted Gamecube exclusives (along with Resident Evil 4, Viewtiful Joe, PN03 and Dead Phoenix), Killer 7 is shaping up to be the most fiercely stylised gaming experience ever. The warped story of mind-shifting super assassin Harman Smith and his seven deadly personalities takes cel-shading to its logical extremes and is described by its makers as a "post-modern hard-boiled action-adventure". Sounds good to us. To twist yourself into the kind of ...

Killzone is (almost) Five- Celebrate with a Double XP Weekend and More (Killzone)

24/11/2009

PS Blog:

"November 26 will be a very special day for all of us here at Guerrilla. On that day, exactly five years ago, the very first Killzone title for PlayStation 2 hit the shelves in Europe. Sure, the game had already been released in the US three weeks prior, but hey…Guerrilla is based in the Netherlands. We commemorate the 26th because that's the date that we were finally able to see the fruits of our labor in Dutch stores"

Killzone: Custom Action Figure (Killzone)

Killzone fans have been itching for some action figures since the launch of the original Killzone game. Nothing official has been released as of yet.

Killzone breaks cover. Again (Killzone)

12/05/2004

Gritty sci-fi FPS Killzone aims to make you "look at the genre in a different way", claims Ami Blaire, director, product marketing, Sony Computer Entertainment America, without explaining what she means. Sideways, perhaps?The Guerilla developed shooter needs little in the way of hype, however, and the deafening buzz surrounding the title should see it safely through to its projected autumn release. Based in near-future colony Vecta, the game tells the story - through the medium of large guns ...

Killzone: New trailer and website (Killzone)

2/04/2004

Sony have just launched the , their belated response to Xbox's Halo. There's no real game info on the site yet but there are a few buttons to twiddle with, most notably a new teaser trailer.The FMV trailer shows an enormous Third Reich-style army being assembled, square-bashing style (but not quite getting into the goose step). While the screenshot to the right gives you an idea of proceedings, it won't convey the sheer enormity of the army. Futuristic choppers dust off and we're left with the ...

New Killzone screens hit the spot (Killzone)

23/03/2004

New screenshots of Sony's uber-first-person shooter Killzone have just surfaced. Often referred to as a potential Halo-beater, it's way too soon to come to such a conclusion but its look and quality does invite comparisons to the classic Xbox shooter.Although there isn't any page furniture on these screens, they are in-game shots of the title in action. We've seen Killzone up-and-running and can tell you that the furniture is typical FPS, although kept pretty much to a minimum with ammo, ...

We've gone into Killzone overload with 32 new images of this highly anticipated first-person shooter from Sony. Take a glimpse into the designing world of the game with these concept images that show the progression from initial line drawings to high-res completion of an idea.

On display below is what looks like a triple-headed ...
