The fine folks at Revoltech have revealed abrand new figurethat I’m certain many people have wanted to see for a long time — aZone of the EndersJehuty. Zone of the Endersis a PlayStation 2 franchise created by Hideo Kojima, one that’s earned itself a rather substantial cult following. It’s about big mechs shooting each other in the sky. Not a lot of merchandise has ever been released for it (a few garage kits), so seeing the respected Revoltech take on a Jehuty is pretty cool news....

Dear Destructoid Community, I want to thank you for being awesome so I’m going to give you freeLittleBigPlanetstuff. It’s a Norse Mythology pack and it comes with viking costumes and “create” items galore. They’re all themed around the crushing of your enemies, seeing them driven before you, and hearing the lamentation of their women… or something like that. Everyone does something different with theirLBPlevels. To get this gift from me to you all you need to do is own a PS3 andLBPand gohereto receive your voucher....

Hold on to your copy ofBrain Ageboys and girls, because we are about to get really stupid up in here. Any self respecting gamer knows what grog is, but for those non-self respecting gamers out there I’ll fill you in. Grog is the made up drink that the pirates inMonkey Islanddrink. Its absolutely ludicrous ingredients are in fact one of the first things you’re able to learn in the game. The ingredients are so over the top that there is no way anyone could possibly think the drink… is… rea…...

Here is an interesting curio for anybody who counts himself a fan of theLegacy of Kainseries. The attached gallery shows off some artwork from the canceledLegacy of Kainsequel, including some environment screens. The screens have been posted by artistAaron Hausmann, whose shipped work includesLuxor 3,25 to LifeandSin: Emergence. He has also done work onMedal of Honor: Airborne. It’s a shame that the game got canceled. I was never a huge fan of theKaingames, but I think current-gen systems are due a title starring the arrogant vampire git....

We all know by now that Australia is severely lagging behind the times thanks to its archaic rating system that refuses to rate games intended for audiences of eighteen and over. 15+ is the highest rating a game can receive from Australia’s OFLC, and anything deemed too mature will need to be edited or face a ban. This is all thanks to one man, South Australia Attorney General Michael Atkinson, who has been called out by an Australian critic for his refusal to change the rules....

When the impending four-person“Onslaught” modewasfirst announcedforBattlefield: Bad Company 2, we got most of the basic details down — except for “when?” and “how much?” We now have those too. DICE informs usthis add-on will be downloadable starting on Tuesday, June 22 for both PlayStation Network and Xbox LIVE alike at a cost of $9.99. Seems reasonable, although I’m not entirely sure it’s enough to get me back intoBad Company 2. We shall see....

I’veloved playing in theBlurmultiplayer beta/demo, but the time is swiftly coming for that chapter to come to a close so that the actual game will appear on store shelves. Activision sent out a press release where they called the beta a success, so I suppose it was. More importantly, they mentioned some new features which might lure you back in for one final taste before the demo closes on May 10th....

Since the dawn of time, man has always wondered about his place in the great cosmic picture. But now, if the riddle of human existence wasn’t enough, we have to figure out how theRussiansplay into all of this! Lifeless Planetlooks to be an action/adventure game that focuses on exploring a desolate but strangely familiar planet. Even in this footage of pre-alpha content,Lifeless Planetappears to have many uniquely colorful and atmospheric levels to explore....

Capcom US has always struck me as a company that doesn’t really take any crap from fanboys. Ever since it mocked PS3 wingnuts overDevil May Cry 4coming to the Xbox 360, the publisher’s STFUAJPG mentality is one I’ve come to respect. It’s not limited to PS3 fans either, as Xbox 360 lovershave come under firefor moaning aboutDead Rising‘s Wii debut. “Whenever a game gets brought from one console to another — whether it’s a port or, in the case ofDead Rising: Chop till You Drop(DR:CTYD), a complete reworking of the original — the Internet gets riled up,” explains a Capcom rep....

As a general rule, I don’t check for mail sent to my apartment. I’ve always kept my parent’s address as the location for any bills that I couldn’t have handled via e-mail (of which I have none at this point). Before living with someone who actually received correspondence from people, it was not unlikely for six months to pass before I bothered to check for anything. Late last night, I was reminded of some mail on its way and dutifully trundled out to the mailbox to see if it had arrived when I came across this curious item....

Purehilaritycoming out of Muncie today. A 7-year old stole his grandfather’s SUV and drove it around town before finally crashing the vehicle at an Outback Steakhouse. 43-year old Matthew Sands followed the red Geo Tracker down Dr. Martin Luther King Boulevard after noting that he was “awful small to be driving.” The boy eventually stopped at the steak house after Sands blocked his path and the pint-sized joyrider had no option but to crash into a tree....

We’ve all heard the stories about how the gamers of Asian nations can’t break away from their computers, being fully dedicated to multiplayer gaming and winning. How admirable! We already know that Chinalimits the timechildren can play video games, but now it looks like more college freshmen will have to tough it out without their PCs for at least one year. Ars Technicabrings us news about how Chinese universities are not letting new students bring PCs and gaming gear with them to school for their first year....

Fact: I love PC RTS games. Fact: I loveCompany of Heroesand what it tried to do with changing the way RTS games are handled. Fact: THQ loves me so much they decided to keep on keepin’ on with the series and I couldn’t be happier. Here are the down and dirty details of what we know so far aboutCompany of Heroes: Opposing FrontsviaEurogamer: This time around you’ll be playing as either the British 2nd army during the liberation of Caen in France, or taking on the role of the German Panzer Elite as you try to repel Operation Market Garden – the largest airborne invasion in history....
