31 Jul 2009A nice late-night surprise found via TIGSource: indie dev Nicalis have revealed a fourth game in development at the studio, following their WiiWare Cave Story remake, the just-announced WiiWare version of La Mulana, and Nicklas ‘Nifflas’ Nygren’s original Night Game (which Nygren has apparently already wrapped development on). Project Q as it’s currently known, is [...]
It’s cute, it’s pink and if you watch this trailer too many times, Hello Kitty might suck out your soul through your eyes. Not that I’m worried; she’s had my soul since 1986. Speaking of eyes, way to go Kotaku readers. By picking out that piece of profanity from the last batch of screenshots (which [...]

30 Jul 2009Things have been awfully quiet on the Star Trek Online front lately, so developer Cryptic and Atari are startling patient fans awake with all the screenshots they could find.

27 Jul 2009Back in March we got the first look at a 5-day prototype kicking around the Flashbang offices in the form of Time Donkey, the Minotaur China Shop creator’s self-described “Cursor*10 meets WarioWare meets Raving Rabbids” time-warping platform game.

27 Jul 2009Pretty sure that regardless of where you are on this rotating ball of dirt, as you’re reading this, it’s Monday, July 27. And that means the new Monkey Island will be out on Wii today.

26 Jul 2009Ok, back to work here… The latest Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet trailer might be old news now, as it’s had lots of attention in the last few weeks.
