#callofduty I didn't enjoy Black Ops as much as some others did, but it was still a pretty good shooter. Oh, except for the fact that a single casting decision nearly ruined the game for me. More »

#cheats An intrepid Kotaku reader found three working cheat codes for GoldenEye 007 on the Wii, but, so far, we only know what two of them do. Update: The third unlocks Big Head mode (pictured) in local multiplayer. More »

#kinect PS3 exclusive Gran Turismo 5 might be released a week after Kinect hits Japan on November 20, but the game already looks set to run over Microsoft's motion control system this holiday season. More »

#nintendo Japan's "hacked" version of Super Mario Bros. isn't the only modified classic included with red Wiis around the world. Turns out the copy of Donkey Kong hitting Europe has been messed with as well. More »

#culturesmash Crime game L.A. Noire is Rockstar's take on 1940s-era Los Angeles, complete with guys in hats, guns and big, fancy cars. But what is noir? More »

Bethesda's upcoming id Tech 5 engine has us pretty excited. It continues the long-standing rivalry between Epic's Unreal Engine and id's storied Doom and Quake engines. However, the battle is very different this time around -- as both engines vie to create the prettiest game for Apple's iPhone.

John Carmack showed off a quick iOS prototype at QuakeCon earlier this year, but IGN has managed to secure video of actual gameplay. Rage: Mutant Bash TV is not a port of the console and PC shooter Rage. Instead, it's an arcade-styled rail shooter that has you shooting mutants with a variety of weapons. As you'll see in the video (embedded after the break), the game doesn't seem to offer much in terms of nuanced, thought-provoking gameplay.

But, that's not really the point, is it? Mutant Bash TV is certainly pretty, an unbelievable accomplishment for cell phone gaming. Oddly, if you have a VGA cable, you'll be able to output the game to your TV and play it on the big screen. Nothing like playing a handheld port of a console game on a TV, right?

#clips You've no doubt heard (or even seen) how Kinect works, by projecting thousands of points of infrared light around a room. Now see what it can do once it takes all that information in. More »

Wondering what’s going on at SEGA? Well, I’m sure you’re not surprised to hear that there’s a ton of Sonic talk going on. At Sega of America’s 2010 Community Event, it seems like Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Ep. 1 was the major topic of discussion. Sega knows that the game wasn’t perfect, [...]

EA Sports has released a handful of new images from its latest boxing game, Fight Night Champion, and while they look absolutely great, they unfortunately don't show anything from the small snippet of the game we saw in action last week.

There's a lot to love about THQ's next big shooter. Here's our pick.

PC gaming had another big week, with the release of a high profile title, new game announcements and, unfortunately, some developer layoffs and shutdowns. Let's take our customary look back at the last seven days.

Man, I must be an idiot. I didn’t even realize this happened! I guess it shouldn’t be a surprise, since Wii cases made the switch awhile back. I have a feeling these smaller cases with even less plastic are going to make people even more upset.

A few of you guys have sent this my way over the past few days. Since the tips keep coming in, I thought I would post this information. GameStop always uses the 1st/15th/30th as placeholder dates, so I wouldn’t put too much faith in this release date. Still, with this game rated [...]

The ad doesn’t make it clear as to whether Epic Mickey is included, or if they’re just showing that as one of the choices. Either way, you can still get a great deal if you’re looking to be a new Wii owner! Thanks to Wiimo for the heads up!

Guys, guys -- you'll never believe it! This week's Japanese hardware sales rankings saw the PSP Go surpass the DS Lite in sales! By our calculations, this can mean one of two things: Either Japanese gamers are totally over the DS (yeah, right), or today is actually opposite day. Now, the rules of this ever-shifting holiday are always in flux, so we've come up with a handy list of instructions for deciphering the opposite-oriented sales statistics posted after the jump:

• An [UP] indicator actually means [DOWN], and vice versa.
• The systems are actually ranked from lowest sales to highest sales.
• The names of the devices have been traded amongst one another, with handhelds being forced to swap titles with home consoles from other manufacturers. We'll leave it to you to figure that out.
• The numbers used have also been changed to their opposite numerals -- for instance, "25,819" would be changed to "96,302." Again, we'll leave you to figure sort out our cipher.
• The sales numbers aren't actually from Japan, but from the nation on the opposite end of the earth, which is ... like, 300 miles off the coast of Uruguay.
• None of the things in this list are actually true. Actually, wait, it's opposite day -- they are true? That means they aren't, right? Oh, great, we've befuddled ourselves.

Could this be one of 2010's sleeper hits? We get started on the game and report back.
