Kotaku writes: "Earlier this year, Crecente got hold of some delightful little Raving Rabbids figures from Ubisoft. Figures I tried to swipe, before he smacked the back of my hand and sand "no, naughty". Well fuck you, Crecente, you and your patronising hand-slapping. I'll just go buy my own, because Ubisoft have announced that the figures - made by NECA - will soon be made available to the public. What's more, there'll be five figures available: the four we've already seen (Sam Fisher, Prince, Altair and vanilla Rabbid) plus a new one, the screaming/plunger-wielding Rabbid, which you can see (along with the classy packaging) after the jump."

Rafael Nadal's savaging of sole Brit Wimbledon hope Andy Murray may have disappointed the UK tennis fans somewhat (come on, we all knew it was going to happen) but we've still got a weekend of racquet sports to look forward to. Ie. the inevitable Federer/Nadal face-off that we witnessed a year ago.And that's the only Wimbledon-related preamble you're going to get out of us - if you want sports punditry go and look at the BBC ... » Read More

Since (and before) the release of Ubisoft's Rayman Raving Rabbids on the Wii (and soon enough, on the Xbox 360 and DS as well), many have already been smitten by the fluffy bundles of impending disco doom. And the person behind it all? No other than character designer Hubert Chevillard. In his latest update on the dev blog for RRR over at IGN, Chevillard explains just how exactly the Rabbids came to be what they are now: "everybody's favorite fauna" in his words, and "Ubisoft's impromptu mascot" in ours.

"Wacky" and "zany." Two words we'd normally dodge, but today we embrace them both because this cute trailer for Wii launch game Rayman Raving Rabbids has melted even our stony hearts. Not only is this clip both wacky and zany, it also reveals some of the minigames and their mechanics. So with a Rabbid at the controls of a Wii-mote, we see Rayman furiously building up speed to catapult a Rabbid dressed as Superman, firing plungers in a first-person shooter and drowning the fluffy terrors by ... » Read More

So this puts us up to about 50 or 60 thousand videos pertaining to Ubisoft's upcoming Rayman Raving Rabbids game, but we still get a little chuckle every time the annoying little critters wail with their blood-red eyes. Our two new videos provide evidence that these albino monstrosities can neither milk cows nor close doors behind them - we're not clear on what these limitations have to do with, oh, the game, but they're fun enough distractions. Hit the movies tab up above, and then perhaps go ... » Read More

If you've been following the limbless hero Rayman's new game at all, you've no doubt seen a few too many movies showcasing the pint-sized, maniacal rabbids. They've ambushed Rayman's colorful world and are forcing him to act like an idiot - it's your job to entertain and distract them with excellent performances so you can break free. And if you're planning to make a next-gen Nintendo purchase, Ubisoft claims the game will be of the best-designed Wii titles too... so hang on to that ... » Read More

Ubisoft delivered another little video for Rayman Raving Rabbids, and we've begun to detect a theme here. The third in their series of "Bunnies can't..." shorts, this episode depicts a Raving Rabbid bunny attempting to play with fireworks with decidedly mixed results. While these clips are entertaining, we'd still like to see more actual gameplay in them. Still, we eagerly await future installments in this series, because we're hoping that they'll include: Bunnies can't perform colonoscopies, ... » Read More

We've got the latest amusing video from the gang creating Rayman Raving Rabbids - just hit the Movies tab above to give it a view. In the second installment of what could be a neverending stream of clips showcasing what Rayman's enemies cannot do, we learn the murderous "rabbids" ain't so hot at housework. Click, smile and wait for the game's inevitable release near the holidays. June 23, ... » Read More

We got our hands on a video of Rayman Raving Rabbids that proves, beyond the shadow of doubt, that rabbits are ill-equipped to play soccer. Why Ubisoft thought we needed a video to make that point, we're not sure (bunnies are typically smaller than a soccer ball, after all), but it's fun nonetheless. Click here to peep the ... » Read More

We got some curious footage of the Rayman development team apparently under siege by nefarious rabbits - or rather, "rabbids." We'd heard that Rayman Raving Rabbids was about bunnies wreaking havoc on the Rayman world, but we had no idea that they had escaped the development environment to harass real, flesh-and-blood people in France. We've picked up a few new screens of these hateful hares in their "natural" digital environment (which Ubisoft has confirmed is Wii along with "current and ... » Read More
