Yes, this artwork, unlike the cover art for all other regions, has a hand with its thumb perfectly attached. The other covers have the thumb bitten away, creating a silly but amusing visual gag -- a dead left hand with four fingers, geddit? Apparently, German authorities do not geddit at all, remaining true to their reputation as humorless dicks. A reputation well deserved.

D3Publisher's Coraline Coming January 2009 Game launching to coincide with film's February 2009 release, dont know much about this game but it sounds interesting [also the movie looks cool].

Isn't the original a right hand though? It is in that image, meaning the joke doesn't work anyway.

Why wouldn't the joke work with a right hand? It still only has four digits, right?

Eidos and Crystal Dynamics have relased a 1 GB demo of one level of the newest of the Tomb Raider series, Tomb Raider Underworld which will be released on all platforms Nov 19th.

the demo can be dl here:

I am very impressed with the graphics and enhancements, and predict it will be another nice success for Eidos and the series.

Fumito Ueda disclosed that he already has a few ideas simmering for a new game project. However, he added that none of them are far along enough conceptually to be built into a solid game like Shadow of the Colossus or ICO.

For the time being, it seems that fans of Ueda will have to wait until he comes up with an idea that he's comfortable with. Though no one knows what Ueda's next game will be, he did confirm that it will be a PlayStation 3 title. OH PLEASE MAKE A NEW ICO GAME, probably a pipedream.

This has been at the top of most peoples list since they showed one screen (A hole with a big chain coming out of it) in January last year.

No news since then of course.

Midway Games, the creator of the Mortal Kombat series, has sought bankruptcy protection from creditors.

Brütal Legend is apparently coming to the Nintendo Wii!

I'm extremely happy if they make a good independent game of it.

I would rather buy a PC version, but I'm happy with a Wii version also as now I am very close to buying a Wii anyway.

But I will be sad if this means something like "we will make a version of this to Wii and also PS2" because that would mean the same old shitty PS2 graphics with tacky Wii controls on the Wii.

I might get Night Game on Wii, looks kinda interesting for a 2d platform game.

Trader · 04-10-2009, 03:05 PM

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Track on DS, hope they make it, I really enjoyed the first Zelda game on DS.

Although this may sound false but a new LSL game is into works. Sounds like we got ourselfs a sequel to BOB.

The trailer for the Wii game "Fragile" looks really gorgeous , like a studio ghibli animation , makes me want to go out to buy a wii just to play the game.

Read that they are importing the game over to america with english subs which is a plus.

This is great news! I was afraid they weren't going to bring this game over to the US. It looks like one of the coolest and most innovative games on the Wii in a very long time.

Zenimax Media (who own Bethesda) have bought id Software.

Didn't see that coming.

Neither did I.

id software is responsible for the quake and doom games among others.

Maybe Bethesda is trying for an FPS this time ?

edit:

And in other news...

EA has decided to merge (yes, merge) Mythic (warhammer) into Bioware (KOTOR, JE BG etc etc)

http://kotaku.com/5302069/ea-combine...iant-rpg-robot

Is it Merger Day? or something ? or is just something in the food/water/air that just chimes love is in the air ?
