Kirby sucks sock in new Epic Yarn trailer (Kirby’s Epic Yarn)

If there’s one piece of advice that’s always stuck with us, it’s ‘don’t suck someone else’s socks’. Kirby clearly didn’t heed this advice and it’s landed him in no end of trouble. Yup - this sock sucked him in instead. That’ll learn ‘im. At least… that’s the meaning we’ve taken from this brand new Japanese trailer for Kirby’s Epic Yarn, headed to Wii this autumn.

What are The Golden Joystick Awards and why should I care? (Wii)

Sure, there are plenty of gaming awards kicking around, but the Golden Joysticks are the ones to be voted by you, the guys and girls who actually buy and play the games. There are no committees of journos and games industry execs deciding who wins, just a giant online ballot box where gamers cast their votes and a piece of software spits out the final counts. So in a nutshell, that’s why you should care about the Joysticks and head to www.goldenjoystick.com to vote. Now! …

This is easily the greatest Resident Evil cosplay the world has ever seen (Resident Evil 4)

It might lack the satin sexiness of Ada Wong or the strike-a-pose foppishness of Leon Kennedy, but this inspirational Licker costume has a special charm all of its own. It is quite simply the best Resident Evil cosplay I have ever seen. …

Darker, grittier Mega Man Online trailer brings murder, street riots and the deaths of millions (Mega Man 10)

Ever since the late ’80s, the phrase “darker, grittier” has been synonymous with two things. Firstly, stimulating adult reinterpretations of existing media. Thankyou, The Dark Knight Returns. Secondly, misguided reboots that grind all the joy out of their predecessors in the name of an adolescent sales boost. Damn you, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within and Final Fight: Streetwise

The Mega Man franchise has greatly fluctuated between light and dark over the years, the original games making up the former tone and the X and Zero sagas taking care of the latter. Being a mash-up of all Mega Man eras, we expected the tone of the upcoming Korean MMO Mega Man Online (MMO MMO?) to be pretty eclectic, but yikes, does this anime trailer imply very serious business indeed. It’s epic, it’s bleak, and it implies that the finished game is going to take in an apocalypse roughly every 15 minutes.

Though surprisingly, I might actually love it a bit. In fact I’m pretty sure it’s incredibly badass. In fact I’m pretty sure I want it turned into a full-length movie instead of a game. Immediately. Take a look and tell me what you think. …
