EA Buying Star Wars Might Not Be All Bad

The news that EA has locked down the rights to Star Wars games has, understandably, been met with a fair amount of backlash. Electronic Arts is far from people’s most trusted and beloved publisher of video games, and fans are worried this will somehow be bad news for the future of Star Wars video games.


Is Army Of Two: The Devil’s Cartel The Most ‘Bro’ Game Ever?

In terms of ‘bro’ games, I’d thought I’d seen it all. I thought gaming had hit peak bro: the point at which bros could bro no further. I thought we’d fist-bumped, roadie ran and keg-stood our way to humanity’s limit. Well, I was wrong.


Dead Space 3: Awakened: The Kotaku Review

I’m having a hard time remembering Dead Space 3. It’s not that I’ve recently become afflicted with amnesia or anything like that. I just don’t find the game all that memorable. If you read my review, you’ll know that I had my share of gripes with the third title in what was previously known to me as one of the better sci-fi horror series I’ve played.


Rumours Of Dead Space’s Demise Are False, Says Studio

A report earlier this morning, citing unidentified sources, suggested that Electronic Arts had terminated its Dead Space franchise — including work on an unannounced Dead Space 4 — in light of poor sales of Dead Space 3.

One Thing Dead Space 3 Gets So, So Right

When it comes right down to it, Dead Space 3 is a game about standing in a corner and blasting aliens into bloody bits. I’ve been playing through the opening hours of the game, and despite recognising the various problems mentioned in some reviews (including Tina’s less-than-glowing review), I have to say that after six or so hours, I’m enjoying myself quite a bit.


Dead Space 3: The Kotaku Review

I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but… Dead Space 3 is boring. Let’s rewind a bit. In 2008, we were graced with EA’s first Dead Space title. This was a claustrophobic horror game, filled with mystery and an obviously grander, more complex universe than we, as players during that first go, could comprehend.


Dead Space 3′s Demo Arrives Jan. 22; This Trailer Recaps The Story So Far …

Dead Space 3‘s demo version will be available via Xbox Live and PlayStation Network on Jan. 22, though a news release from Electronic Arts this morning says that a limited number of Xbox Live gamers can get access to the demo a week early.


New Dead Space 3 Trailer Feels Like It Was Made For A Movie

The action sequences, the background music, the dramatic sliced-up dialogue…it all feels like something I should be watching with sour patch kids in hand while waiting for my movie to start. It’s not necessarily a good or bad thing. Just my feeling.
