The best and worst game promo T-shirts (Feature)

Mar 20, 2009

Amongst the games, press releases and bulging envelopes of cash curiously marked '9/10, yeah?' that we receive from publishers each day we also get clothing. Mainly T-shirts of random ill-fitting sizes. And they fall into three categories: Outdoors, Indoors, and Bin. ...

The 12 most useless game trailers (Feature)

Nov 18, 2008

Game advertising is a wacky business. We can picture tireless, cocaine-fueled pitch meetings where PR people strive to find a way to advertise a particular title. It seems as though every commercial boils down to either: gameplay, pre-rendered footage posing as gameplay, a bat-shit insane live action concept, or a amalgam of all those concepts. ...

Raving Rabbid Figures, Now Yours To Buy (News)

Sep 4, 2008

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."

Raving Rabbids does 'tennis girl' (News)

Jul 4, 2008

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 ...

The evolution of DAAAAAA (News)

Mar 19, 2007

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.

Rayman Raving Rabbids (Review)

Nov 22, 2006

What if the hero didn't save the day? What if, instead, he was hoodwinked and mocked by his captors? If Rayman Raving Rabbids on the Wii is any indication, the resulting forecast would be partly innovative with a 95% chance of hilarity. Rayman is a prisoner of the insane Rabbids - evil animals that are one part Bugs Bunny, and one part Sloth from The Goonies. He's made to compete in twisted, gladiator-style minigames that show the versatility of the Wii's controls and the sense of humor of ...

Pump the remote and nunchuk up and down to simulate milking a cow; yank worms out of a Rabbid's porous fangs; and trace what passes for food (cinder blocks, baseballs, etc.) to feed hungry bunnies.

Rayman Raving Rabbids - more minigames (Preview)

Nov 15, 2006

About a month ago we walked you through five of Rayman Raving Rabbids' whacked-out minigames. Now, just days before the game's release, we've prepared a final, quick look at three other games that'll make you wonder what the developers were smoking when they thought up this maniacal scenario. In case you've missed the basic setup, the limbless hero Rayman has been captured by insane rabbids. They're either too scared or too stupid to do a lot of things on their own, so they put Rayman through ...

Rayman Rabbid reel (News)

Nov 7, 2006

"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 ...

Rayman Raving Rabbids - hands on (Preview)

Oct 18, 2006

From the very beginning, Wii has been billed as a console that'll bring in people from all walks of life. This lofty goal is the very reason we're seeing so many simple titles coming out at launch - Wii Sports, Super Monkey Ball and Wario Ware: Smooth Moves all ask the player to perform the most basic of gestures in an effort to lure them in. Rayman Raving Rabbids does the exact same thing, but wraps the introductory-style gameplay around such a surreal world that you can't help but bite. The ...

Rayman Raving Rabbids - hands-on (Preview)

Aug 25, 2006

We weren't entirely sure what to expect from Rayman's Wii debut, but after working up a considerable sweat during a lengthy hands-on with the game we can tell you that it's a light-hearted, minigame-style collection that pits the like-him-or-loathe-him character against the wonky-eyed rabbids. Was it worth suffering through all those damn rabbids videos? Hm... just maybe. In fact, if you're really down with Rayman, you can catch another video right here. The demo we sampled had four minigame ...

More things rabbids don't do (News)

Aug 3, 2006

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 ...

Rayman Raving Rabbids (News)

Jul 28, 2006

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 ...

Rayman Raving Rabbids (News)

Jul 10, 2006

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, ...

Click, smile and wait for the game's inevitable release near the holidays. June 23, ...

Bunnies bad at soccer (News)

Jun 13, 2006

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 ...

Rayman creator devoured by fauna (News)

May 25, 2006

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 ...
