  • LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean

    The Lego titles are all rife with secrets, unlockables, and hidden areas, so it comes as no surprise that a SuperGuide comes in handy. Chris Robertson created a multimedia blitz of a guide that shows you how to go through all four films in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise and find 100% of the collectibles. Be sure you don't miss the hand-drawn Hub World map, complete with burnt edges and worn paper.
  • Pokemon Black/White

    Let's face it, catching them all is harder than it sounds, and there's nothing wrong with asking for some help. Or you could save face and use our handy Super Guide. Shhh...we won't tell anyone if you don't.
  • Portal 2

    Need help with devious Portal 2 single-player puzzles? Done. Oh, you say you need help with complicated co-op puzzles? We've got that too. This MyCheats SuperGuide has it all along with handy videos to keep you on the right track. What more could you possibly need?
  • Skyrim

    With the help of the Wiki team over at IGN, we brought you a massive guide for the most sprawling game of the year. Skyrim is bursting at the seams with content, so it's no wonder that so many people look for help throughout the course of their 100 hour adventure. Aside from a walkthrough of the main quest, the guide is set up to help you tackle some of the auxiliary tasks of the game. Need help killing dragons? Getting married? Curing Vampirism? MyCheats has you covered.
  • Dead Space 2

    For MyCheats' Dead Space 2 guide, former editor Jobert Atienza went to town on EA's horror follow-up, with a full campaign walkthrough, multiplayer tips, an enemy guide, etc. What better time than now to track down a cheap copy of the game, and use his 100% totally free guide to rush through the game and get back to the rest of your backlog?
  • L.A. Noire

    Our guide for L.A. Noire serves two purposes -- first, it gets you through all those clues/helps you solve each case, and second it gives you big lists of newspaper collectibles, film reels, and landmark locations. Usually a guide is valuable for one or the other of those -- but here you get both, 100% entirely free!
  • Dark Souls

    Charting any progress in Dark Souls takes a devoted soul and an alarming number of deaths; but luckily you don't have to go it alone. This MyCheats SuperGuide penned by Marty Sliva covers the ins and out of Dark Souls' deadly world, and will help you blaze a path to riches and powerful equipment only dreamed of until now.
  • Deus Ex: Human Revolution

    Open-ended role-playing games were all the rage in 2011, and Square Enix's relaunch of the Deus Ex series was one of the best. Featuring dozens of hours of stealth action, tons of sidequests, and plenty of free choice, Human Revolution is exactly the sort of game that MyCheats SuperGuides were made for. Whether you want to play it stealthy, violent, noble, or nasty, this guide is your key to a perfect playthrough.
  • Assassin's Creed: Revelations

    Them Assassin's Creed games sure like having obtuse puzzles and weird metafictional commentary, right? The actual act of parkouring around, finding fools, and stabbing them in the face tends to be pretty straightforward. But if you need help on some of the trickier assassinations, finding Animus data fragments, or the best way to turn off those tower defense missions, we are here to SuperGuide you.
  • Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

    Stuck in Skyward Sword? Don't rely on dodgy in-game hint systems! Instead, turn to your friends at 1UP, who will assist you in Link-related matters of all kinds. Why waste your holiday break bashing your head against a puzzle when a simple hint can help you get on with your life? It's what Zelda would have wanted.

Avenger Controller PR Rep Dropped as He Seeks Forgiveness

Posted: 28 Dec 2011 12:01 PM PST


The video above contains some NSFW language

The Internet was set ablaze yesterday as an email chain between a disgruntled customers, a PR rep doing customer service, and Penny Arcade's Mike Krahulik was published on the webcomic's website. In it, Ocean Marketing's Paul Christoforo was seen bullying the customer and being of little help to someone who has waited nearly two months to get the product he paid for in full in early November. Christoforo has now been replaced as the marketing man for the product in question, and the Boston native is now looking for the wave of hate to come to an end.

It was an order for the Avenger Controller (pictured below), a modified controller designed to allow disabled gamers to use the rear triggers, that started all of this. The controller's inventor and owner, David Kotkin, has apologized in a statement sent to Kotaku and revealed Ocean Marketing no longer represents the product.

Uncharted: Golden Abyss Sets a New Standard For Portable Visuals, But Not Game Design

Posted: 28 Dec 2011 11:25 AM PST

This is not a review of Uncharted: Golden Abyss, though it could well be. The Japanese version of the game, which shipped with the PS Vita at launch, offers full English-language support, including dialogue, menus, and even Trophies. But this isn't a review, because -- despite having had the game in-hand for a week now -- it hasn't quite gelled with me enough for me to finish it off.

To Golden Abyss' credit, my failure to have completed it yet has a good deal to do with its length. Currently I'm about a quarter of the way through the adventure, if chapter count is anything to go by, but I'm guessing I've sunk at least four hours into the game. Given the production values on display here, that's a rather generous amount of content. See, if nothing else, Golden Abyss is an amazing-looking game.

Former Harmonix Shareholders Owed $383 Million by Viacom

Posted: 28 Dec 2011 10:15 AM PST

Rock Band 3

The ongoing lawsuit between Viacom and former Harmonix shareholders has taken an interesting turn. Resolution accountants appointed by the two parties to determine how much money is owed to whom have determined Viacom owes the shareholders $383 million.

The shareholders originally filed their lawsuit last December alleging Viacom did not make good on bonus payments to the shareholders -- a group which includes Harmonix co-founders Alex Rigopulos and Eran Egozy -- and that it actively tried to minimize the amount it would have to pay in bonuses.
