Telltale: ‘our engine doesn’t run on the PlayStation yet’

The reason why Telltale Games haven’t brought a title to PlayStation Network is simple: the studio hasn’t ported the engine yet. Speaking withThe Guardianabout theTales of Monkey Islandseries not hitting XBLA or PSN, Telltale designer Dave Grossman explained that the studio prefers to develop for one console platform for the “initial run” of episodic content.

The E3 Mega Hotness: Everything thus far

Over 200 links full of previews, news, trailers and so much more. The E3 and Dtoid home teams have been working non-stop to bring you so much coverage that it HURTS. Hurts so good!

I’m going again soon to bring you a better preview than “pretty cool” but check out Nick’s hands-on for all the info you need for now....

The Making of Killzone 2 (or, ‘look at how great our game is’)

As I’ve already said twice today,Killzone 2is released on Friday and Sony wants you to know about it. With that spirit carried in our hearts, let us all sit cross-legged and gather round this “Making Of” video, which is basically just the lads from Guerrilla telling us that their game is awesome.If you’re looking forward to the game, there’s some terrific footage in the video, especially when we’re shown examples of the “hit response system,” which is a flashy technical term for “these c*nts die really good....

The more you know: What Oblivion looks like while running on CryEngine 2

We all know how unbelievably gorgeousCrysisis, but what if the technology used to power the game was applied to something like, I don’t know,The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion? Would we be able to handle the pure sexiness of it all? Find out for yourself by watching the video above or by downloadingthis higher-resolution versionthat’ll fetch greater results. It’s been a long time since I’ve playedOblivion, so perhaps I’ve let my mind create a mental image of how fantastic it looked to me back then and as a result, didn’t see a huge difference between the switch to CryEngine 2....

The Tongari Kids Performing B-DASH Live!

I guess the title implies that I know who the Tongari Kids are. I don’t really. I just didn’t want to sound like I didn’t. It’s just that I’ve just been out of ‘circulation’ for a while and I’m a bit self-conscious about it. Just liked the video so I thought I’d share. Quick question; Have you already seen this? The video itself was added to YouTube on Jan 06, which is fairly recent but I found out fromGamespotthat the song is from June 05....

This LEGO Rock Band trailer has fake Tom Petty in it

For me, and I imagine a fair number of you good people,LEGO Rock Bandstarted life as “that game with Europe’s ‘The Final Countdown’ in it.” Next, theability to exportits full library of songs became apparent.Then, we started seeing LEGO minifig versions of popular musicians. They evengot Queen, guys. For some reason, unlike Kurt Cobain’s controversial appearance inGuitar Hero 5, this move was somehow the greatest thing devised by mankind.It was at this moment when I realized I would be purchasingLEGO Rock Band....
