Microsoft makes you an offer you can’t understand

Those crazy, Jew-hating Microsoft boys are at it again with yet more ways to offload the 360 Elite, now by making a rebate offer more complex than requesting a waiver at the city courthouse: • Consumer goes to:  www.xbox.com/eliterebate/ • Consumer gets a code from above site and then clicks ...

Luke Plunkett Genius Watch

"Whether you think the new Avatar marketplace on the 360 is a great way to customise your online persona or a stupid waste of everyone's time and money, you'll probably want to take a look at the wardrobe options." Another day, another thirty nebulously-written press releases from our special bus friends at ...

Would you like some gargle with that blowjob?

It seems that any danger Kotaku was in of appearing as a credible, unbiased source of gaming news has been thrown right out the window. This just days after attempted-comedian Jimmy Fallon devoted NBC airtime to shilling for Microsoft's Project Natal and Xbox 360.  Kotaku was sure to cover that too...four ...

Halo Wars/Whores/Bores

"It’s fan service, definitely, but not ill-conceived or exploitative in any way." -games(TM) on Halo Wars, proving why game reviewers shouldn't get ambitious. Right, confession. I fucking hate Halo. Sure, it was an adequate shooter when it was released at the beginning of the millenium, but a steadfast refusal on Bungie's part ...

360 reaches one million dead units; Festive red unit to be released

Joystiq released the above hi-res screenshot from the depths of their jpg bin of frightening erotica to produce a story that trumps even Kotaku's amazing and exclusive reportings on Cliffy B's insane opinions of game controllers; the 360 is going red. While it looks like it's merely been placed under a shitty ...

Somebody seriously wrote this

"With Risen, Piranha Bytes introduces a fresh, new setting. The game’s protagonist is shipwrecked after a storm and finds himself on a mysterious island. An active volcano dominates the scene. Ancient temple ruins have recently risen from the ground, and bizarre creatures infest the island." So it's either Crysis or Serious ...

Buck up, Sony/Free Command & Conquer games

If any of you happens to be a suicide counselor, we need you to go over to Mike's apartment. His PS3 has broken down and he's sequestered himself to his room, playing Shenmue in some kind of self-flaggelating apology to himself. We're pretty Sony-oriented over this way, but we're not ...

BLOOD BOWL, A MANLY GAME FOR MEN WHO ARE MANLY, AND MEN

I fell in love with this game in the middle of the tutorial. A little text box instructed me to tell one of my line backers to commit a foul. A right click brought a human player football player to run up to an unconscious rat man and kick him ...
