Is there stock of the Playstation 3 Dual Shock 3 controller in the country? I would say this package, which arrived on my front door not long ago, would suggest a “Yes”. I look forward to putting my SixAxis into retirement. Now I just need to get a second one…
Ecogamer‘s Anthony has again put together a list of gaming goodies for Kotaku AU, aimed at the cash-strapped. This particular lot focuses on JB Hi-Fi’s current trade-in deals. Anthony mentions that if you’re still in the market for a copy of GTA IV or Mario Kart Wii, then these deals…
Check out Develop 100. Have a look for Tantalus. Cool, isn’t it? I’m not sure about you, but it’s nice to see an Australian studio ranked with the best in the world, besides the local branch of 2K Boston/2K Australia (which is marked as US anyway). True, it’s placed 96th…
It’s that Chopper motorcycle again! You know, the one we saw pictures of recently. Now Microsoft has put out a press release with juicy details. I say juicy, because they sound impressive, but I don’t know much about bikes so it could all be “meh”. Okay, so the bike is…
Tweaktown is reporting that Australia will receive a GTA IV PS3 bundle similar to the one that already has you covered, as long as you’ve pre-ordered. GTA IV PS3 bundle coming for Australia [Tweaktown, thanks Simon H.]
Australian Gamer’s latest podcast features the comedic English tones of Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw, the man behind the ever-hilarious Zero Punctuation game reviews.

Tipster Shayne says the EB Games has a deal going where you can buy a SixAxis PS3 controller, and for an extra $20, pick up a copy of F1: Championship Edition, Genji, Heavenly Sword, Lair, Motorstorm or Resistance: Fall of Man. Not exactly a knee-trembling line up, but not horrible…
Screen Play is reporting that our version of GTA IV was modified in advance to get it past the Office of Film and Literature Classification with an MA15+ rating. While this has been confirmed by Rockstar’s local presence, it was tight lipped about what it removed from the game. Rockstar…
What’s the best way to promote a violent video game about a cop who beats up hobos? Make a Flash website with ponies, flowers, butterflies and clowns of course! Sega’s Condemned 2 certainly doesn’t contain any of the entities I just mentioned, so what’s the connection? Why not click on…
You guys remember when I confused a winnable by the population at large. There’s another shot after the jump, along with a link to the page GAME has up that contains two more. We’ve also been told that a video will be making its way to the Grand Old Internets,…
That pesky R18+ rating issue! Why won’t it just go away? Probably because games are being discriminated against, adult gamers are being treated like children and the OFLC is being unnecessarily restricted. But enough of that. We’ve made some headway – finally. Let’s look to the future now instead of…
After reading today’s story about the
It’s unbelievable, I know, but the Attorneys-General have decided to give us a chance to voice our opinions on the need for an R18+ rating for games in Australia. The agreement was made at
March 28. It had to come round eventually. The Standing Committee of Attorneys-General will despite his mostly nonsensical arguments. Seeing as all the AGs have to agree, hopes are low.
Bargains are sexy. Which by proxy, makes Anthony over at EcoGamer darn hot also. He’s put together another list of gaming deals especially for us. Thanks again! If you feel like saving some cash while you spend big on your next lot of gaming purchases, just hit the jump!
Who said gaming and theatre were a bad mix? To be honest, I’d don’t think anyone has, but if they did, you could throw this in their face like a pie – a tasty, rebuttal pie – and scream tirades about how they know nothing of modern stage or how…
Gamasutra has uploaded an informative post-mortem for Infinite Interactive’s Puzzle Quest. CEO and designer Steve Fawkner is basically a master at mixing casual and hardcore gameplay, so if you’re keen to learn a few of the ingredients of his magic recipe, this is a good place to start. The article…
Update: The maker of this fantastic little guy, Sayraphim Lothian, got in contact with her details. So now we can give credit where it’s due. Kotaku AU reader Shayne sent us this photo of a knitted Sackboy that was made especially for him by a friend. You may recognise the…
Anthony from the Economical Gamer dropped us a quick note saying that Target is having a 15% off sale starting from tomorrow and going until Sunday (excludes Friday). This deal applies to games and gaming hardware. The bigger news is that Mario Wii and DS games will be 35% off…
PhyreEngine. It’s a funky name, but what the heck is it? We asked Sidhe Interactive’s sexy technical director, Tyrone McAuley, to help us demystify Sony’s cross-platform tech. Sidhe developed its PSN/Xbox Live Arcade/PSP title GripShift using the engine, so if anyone’s going to know a thing or two about it,…
If anyone was wondering why the Civilization Revolution competition reminder was posted in the future (cue spooky music), it’s because it’s the only way we can keep something “on top” of other posts. Mystery solved folks! Yes, BioWare Says, Dragon Age Is Still Coming I’d totally forgotten about Dragon Age….
