A karaoke game? On the Wii? In Japan? This thing (Hudson’s Joysound, for reference) will sell more than a Square Enix hotcake-selling minigame compilation.

New Sims 3 Trailer Is Several Kinds Of Strange [The Sims 3]

This new European trailer for EA’s The Sims 3 is perfectly fine until the young French maid starts making out with the wrinkled old man.
It all kicks off with what seems to be a skinny goth woman on an exercise machine who drives several miles away in order to break in to a house and steal candy from small children. During her adventure she encounters cooking, flatulence, and the aforementioned cross-generational make out session. The whole thing ends with the previously skinny goth girl as a grossly fat goth girl, having presumably gone on a mad candy-stealing spree.
I think the message here is supposed to be something along the lines of the playing the game is as simple as taking candy from a baby, but the only message I get is that young women kissing men with liver spots isn’t something I wanted to see today.

Sorry if that spoils half the “punchline”, but if you go into this clip unprepared, you may not make it back out again.

When do you know when you’ve taken your love for an inanimate piece of consumer electronics just a bit too far? It’s when your hushed tones of reverence make you sound like this guy.

White Knight Chronicles: The Box Art, The New Screenshots [White Knight Chronicles]
Posted by Luke Plunkett from Kotaku.
It’s a bumper White Knight Chronicles media update! Not only do we have a copy of the game’s sublime box art, but a bunch of new screenshots as well.
OK, most of them are new - you’ll find one or two familiar-looking ones - but the looks at character customisation and seriously in-game action are warmly appreciated.
Box art is below, new screenshots below that.
Dragonball Movie Trailer Is A New Kind of Stupid [Dragonball]

Look, I don’t even like Dragonball. But still, I know enough about it to know this trailer will make people upset.
New Prototype Footage, Screens Leaked [Prototype]
Posted by Luke Plunkett from Kotaku.
Left homeless after Sierra bit the dust, it looks like Activision are going to hang onto Prototype, and will be showing it off at CES early next year. How do we know this? The game’s website told us all about it.
It also left a bunch of new media - not intended to be shown until CES - for the game just lying around. Hit the jump, then, for both new screens and new footage (note: not a trailer, since it’s a raw collection of gameplay footage).

What, you thought it was a joke product? Nope. It’s real. Depressingly real. Avoid the banal chit-chat and skip to the 2:00 mark (highly recommended) to see it kick in.
Mirror’s Edge With And Without Awesome PhysX Effects [Clips]
Posted by Michael McWhertor from Kotaku.
Remember that fantastic Mirror’s Edge trailer dripping with snazzy PhysX eye-candy? The differences may not have been clear enough to the casual observer, something DICE, EA, and NVIDIA hope to change.
They want to drill realistic banner waving and glass shattering directly into your retinas, with a side-by-side comparison of what PC gamers with PhysX abilities will get when Mirror’s Edge ships in January for Windows.
