Free Radical Shuts Down
The developers of Time Splitters and Haze, Free Radical, have reported shut down permanently. Apparently all the employees came to work to find themselves locked out of the building, which is a pretty dick way to shut down a company. I mean seriously, is that necessary? I guess they had a meeting later in the…

Atlus Announces The Dark Spire
The Dark Spire is a first person role playing game for the DS. Seems a bit like Etrian Odyssey, but darker, it looks really cool. There is a “classic” interface (crappy graphics) and a “modern” interface (less crappy graphics). [ The Dark Spire ]

Street Fighter IV Collector’s Edition
Street Fighter IV Collector’s Edition stuff, for North America. I wonder what the “secret additional downloadable content” will be? 1. The game (duh) 2. A limited-edition (ie., not sold anywhere else) figurine – Ryu in the PS3 box, C. Viper hotness in the 360 flavor. Decisions, decisions… 3. Street Fighter IV: The Ties That Bind:…

Lux-Pain
Lux-Pain actually looks kind of interesting. It’s a text-based adventure game for the DS being published by Marvelous Interactive Inc set. It’s set in Kisaragi City, I don’t know if that’s a real place or not (more on that later). Apparently a worm is infecting people and making them do bad things. Obviously, this is…

Valve Patches Left 4 Dead on the 360
It turns out you could cheat in the Xbox 360 version of Left 4 Dead. Like, spawn tons of enemies or use infinite Molotov cocktails. It sounds like fun, I guess, until you’re playing against some guy doing it. Anyway, Valve found out and patched the game today. It’s too bad, I was really looking…

Dragon Quest X Coming to Wii
Yesterday, at an event in Japan, Square Enix announced Dragon Quest X is coming to the Wii. The event was held to promote their March 28th release of Dragon Quest IX for the DS (side note: Dragon Quest IX is going to cost 5,980 yen there, or roughly $64.73, which is insane). I hope it…

Resident Evil – It came from Kijuju
Just received an email from Capcom, I assume regarding Resident Evil 5. All the email said was “It came from Kijuju” (a city on the west coast of South Africa, and the setting for Resident Evil 5) repeated about about a million times and a link to this that doesn’t show anything more. The email…

Robo’s Theme – Never Gonna Give You Up
Kotaku kind of ruined Chrono Trigger / Robo’s Theme for me the other day, pointing out the theme is basically just Never Gonna Give You Up (combined here). I would have never noticed. The interesting part is the composer of the Chrono Trigger soundtrack, Yasunori Mitsuda, swears he never heard of Rick Astley before: “It…
