Kotaku reader, Michael, spent over well over 100 hours creating a beautiful music video of Godspeed You! Black Emperor’s “The Dead Flag Blues,” set to beautiful visuals from Half-Life 2. It’s another reminder as to why our generation of gamer’s and tech nerds are so amazing.
Continuing their plan for world domination using incredible marketing, Namco Bandai have used another incredible poster to promote Soul Calibur V. The newest poster ties in with the last poster, which was filled with boobs, except this time, it’s filled with ass. This one, however, has a pretty witty pun.
Written in Japanese on the poster, it says “The Series Greatest Masterpiece,” with accents above the kanji on “series,” and “masterpiece” to also make each word say “butt” in Japanese. Brilliant. You can hit the jump to view the full poster.

It’s official! Pac-Man and bad box-art Mega-Man have both been unveiled for the PS VITA version of Street Fighter x Tekken, as well as Cole McGrath, and Kuro and Toro for the PlayStation 3 version. We’ve already reported that the Xbox 360 won’t be receiving any exclusive characters, so it looks like this is all we’re getting. We can’t complain, though. Guest characters are always fun.
Street Fighter x Tekken will arrive in stores March 6th for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PS VITA systems.
Prototype 2 sees the series’ new star, Sgt. James Heller, traverse a wasted landscape after he is infected with a mutagen that gives him special abilities, just like the first game. However, unlike the first game, pre-ordering Prototype 2 at Best Buy will net you the Hardened Steel Vehicle Armor Upgrade.
What is this upgrade you ask? Well, it makes military vehicles that Sgt. Heller enters stronger. Not sure how, since nothing really changes. Just the defense of the vehicle, and its longevity. Alright, then.
Be prepared to hop back on the island of the dead, in some DLC for Dead Island available February 01, 2012 for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

Nintendo has officially announced the Nintendo Network during an investor call, today. The network will act as a PSN-like service allowing players to play online against one another, as well as form communities, and even eventually download DLC and full retail titles on the 3DS and Wii U eShops.
Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy will be the first title to support the Nintendo Network when it releases in Japan on February 16th, by offering premium paid DLC in the near future. Further plans have yet to be revealed for the service, though I’m sure we’ll know all about it by the time the Wii U is released later this year.
