R.I.P Aliens RPG: Sega responds to cancellation

I think I've written about Aliens as much as Kotaku's written about Dragon Quest IX. I just love acid-filled space rapists with big, phallic heads. That's why I was bummed when Aliens RPG was off...

Canned Stuntman Wii game featured the 'Queen of Stunt Vehicles,' a tricycle

There hasn't been a really great Stuntman game since, well, arguably ever. So it's probably not a huge loss for gamers that Stuntman: Demolition, a Wii-exclusive entry in the series, was canned w...

Yesterday, IGN posted a story about a Wii game that was pitched by developer n-space back in 2007. The game is called Winter, and it never found a publisher. Twenty Four hours after this news hit...
Mistwalker to cancel third project thanks to the economy

This "economic crisis" business is funny when it happens to morons who put too much on their credit card and like spending money they don't have, but when it affects Mistwalker, develop...

Rumor: Oblivion PSP lost in oblivion?

Say it isn't so! A PlayStation Portable version of Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion sounded like a great idea right out of the gate, but our hopes were semi-crushed when get heard some worrysome news b...

Captain Obvious: Project H.A.M.M.E.R officially cancelled

I don't care what anyone else says, but I was actually looking forward to Project H.A.M.M.E.R quite a bit. It looked like brainless, dumb, hamfisted violence and that's the kind of thing I someti...
