Valentine's Day has come and gone but the so-called most romantic day of the year has left one lasting festive treat for everyone to enjoy in its wake. The Lollipop Chainsaw Valentine Edition released on Thursd... more
Lollipop Chainsaw Valentine Edition has been announced for Japan, slated to arrive on February 14, 2013. The special edition release will include a "perfect unlock code," as well as two DVDs, and computer stuff includi... more
[Talking to Women about Videogames is a series where Jonathan Holmes talks to different people who are women about the biggest videogame news of the week for some reason.] In this, the second part of a two-part series a... more
Last week, we asked you to be our Dtoid cheerleaders in order to win a box full of Lollipop Chainsaw goodies. The results were a mix of hilarious, disturbing, and ... well, more disturbing. Sadly, only ten of you could walk a... more
It is said that Suda 51 always has something to say with his games, even when it looks like he's saying nothing at all. From abstract and disturbed curiosities such as Killer7 to silly and vulgar adventures like No More Heroe... more
[Update: Contest closed! Winners are jessalynzo, Keyrlis, ladyzaner, linzbot, Shadowstew, solidturtleman, Sparklykiss, The Silent Protagonist, TheFrozenOne, and trueb7ue!] Lollipop Chainsaw is finally out for the Xbox 360 and... more
Lollipop Chainsaw is the kind of game I dread having to review. Not because I necessarily dislike the game, and not because I foresee it becoming the center of yet another trite videogame review controversy. I dread these kin... more
We're officially just less than two weeks away from Lollipop Chainsaw. Are you excited? I know for a fact that I am. I also know quite a few people who aren't sure to be excited or not, because they simply aren't sure of the... more
Are you sad because you live out of the country and it's very difficult to make it to the legendary San Diego Comic-Con? Well, if you live in/near London, UK, you can always head to the MCM London Comic-Con being held later t... more
It seems like every new release these days has a special collector's edition of one form or another: paperweight dragons, underpants, sex dolls, whatever. The point is, every game absolutely must have one -- regardless ... more
Remember when it was announced that all of Juliet's alternate costumes would be available worldwide? That was great news, except it wasn't clear if they would be available to us at a price, or if they would be included in the... more
Hey boys and girls! Here's a video of a cute Japanese girl dressed up as Juliet, waving the trademark chainsaw around whilst pretend fighting. The girl's name is Mayu Kawamoto, an image girl chosen by Suda51 and th... more
In the latest promotional video for Lollipop Chainsaw, Suda 51 and James Gunn discuss aspects of the writing and inspiration for the comedic zombie game. Most of the videos promoting Lollipop have been over-the-top exer... more
Every Lollipop Chainsaw trailer just keeps upping the crazy and it's no different here with our exclusive look at Juliet Starling's sisters. Big sister Cordelia Starling is an expert zombie hunter that wields a long range sn... more
Would you like to watch just under three minutes of complete silliness? Of course you do! This new trailer for Lollipop Chainsaw explains some of the ways in which Juliet Starling can decimate the undead horde, and while it starts quite sensibly, things get too barmy for words by the end. I think we've praised this game enough lately, so just watch the video. It says everything it needs to. more
Zombies are messy. Like, really messy. Their fragile bodies are falling apart and full of blood, so I'm sure it comes as no surprise that Juliet gets covered in zombie bits after a day of slaying them with her chainsaw. She ... more
A lot of people call Suda 51 (creator of Lollipop Chainsaw) the Quentin Tarantino of videogames. While I see some similarities there, I don't think the analogy is quite right. Quentin Tarantino is big on "real talk... more
Wow. I knew Lollipop Chainsaw was going to be absolutely insane, but this trailer has taken it to a whole new level. It features just a few of the Bosses of Zombie Rock you'll be facing this June. Zed the punk rocker, Vikke ... more
One thing that impressed me about Lollipop Chainsaw that I forgot to mention in my preview was just how great the voice acting was. Today, Warner Bros revealed the voice actors and it's surprising to see just how many big na... more
Max Scoville caught up with super famous movie director James Gunn where they talked about everything Lollipop Chainsaw. It's a really revealing interview as we get to see that James was all about working on the project. I w... more
Recently, we've been gawping at a lot of alternate costumes in Lollipop Chainsaw, which have ranged from cute to questionable. Whether you find Juliet Starling's wardrobe entertaining or exploiting, you'll be able to get... more
Lollipop Chainsaw is looking hot for a number of reasons, but if you're mostly looking forward to perving over its saucy protagonist, you're going to be very jealous of Japan. Suda 51's home country has already gotten some "s... more

Last year, developer Grasshopper Manufacture showed off a very simple demo of Lollipop Chainsaw at several major gaming conventions. It was a very basic demo in my eyes, one that was more to show the potential of things to co... more
Team Destructoid has just returned from a Lollipop Chainsaw GDC party here in San Francisco and we've brought you a new release date for the game, just announced at tonight's event. North America will see Grasshopper Man... more
Lollipop Chainsaw is really pushing the alternate costume thing. We already got to see the various new looks Juliet Starling can rock with North American pre-orders, but here's a look at the stuff Japanese premium edition can... more

Another fun video promoting Lollipop Chainsaw has been released. This go-around, we're given a little bit of history on Nick Carlyle, Juliet's boyfriend, who isn't quite the man he used to be. So far, I like the character be... more
Apparently Lollipop Chainsaw is getting the censorship treatment in Japan...unless you're willing to buy the premium version of the game. Two different versions of Suda 51's latest will be released in order to tone down the g... more
Warner Brothers revealed pre-order plans for Lollipop Chainsaw today, promising perhaps one of the greatest bonuses of all time -- a costume based on Ash from Evil Dead. Yeah, shut up and take my money! Ash will be exclusive... more
Mindless Self Indulgence frontman Jimmy "Little Jimmy Urine" Euringer is providing music to Suda 51's gorgeously demented Lollipop Chainsaw. In addition to the tunes, he will also be the voice behind Zed -- a zombified punk r... more
The deliciously ridiculous Lollipop Chainsaw has a new trailer up today, introducing us to the "goth geek" bad guy, Swan. He wants to destroy the world with zombies. Obviously. As usual, there's plenty of silly dialog and undead carving to go around in this video. The game itself is out sometime this year, and I am fairly certain it's going to be great fun. more
As promised, here's that trailer Warner Brothers sent over along with its Lollipop Chainsaw Halloween goodie bag. We get to meet Juliet Starling's mentor, Morikawa, and drown in more blood than a human body should be able to... more
Publishers send some weird things that mostly just clutter up my office (especially at this time of the year, this room looks like I've just moved with all the boxes). At least with this Lollipop Chainsaw Halloween bag, I can... more
It may have been over a week since TGS 2011 closed its doors, but believe it or not, we have another Lollipop Chainsaw video for you. We probably should've had this up days ago, but things happen. Anyway, it has zombies, Sud... more
Nick Chester did a full preview of Lollipop Chainsaw at PAX, and he loved it, but I simply had to check the game out for myself. Being a Suda51 game, I knew the game would be out-there, but I had no idea quite how balls-menta... more
Suda51's newest game project, Lollipop Chainsaw, was at PAX and Max Scoville got a chance to play it. There are lollipops, a chainsaw-wielding cheerleader, rainbows and zombies. A quirky, fun game in which you kill zom... more
Great news: playing Grasshopper Manufacture's Lollipop Chainsaw is just as insane as watching it in action. Suda51's latest tale of a zombie slaughtering cheerleader is as quirky and demented as fans have come to expect. Whil... more
I had been looking forward to checking Lollipop Chainsaw out all week at gamescom and I wasn't disappointed. While Suda51 wasn't on hand to show us the game himself, he did send us a video assuring that the game's female pro... more
Excitement is high for Suda51’s newest game Lollipop Chainsaw. A hack and slash game starring an 18-year-old cheerleader killing zombies with a chainsaw -- what’s not to be excited about? We took a look at the game at WB Games' upcoming title at gamescom. If you think zombie killing games are all the same, then you’re in for a pleasant surprise. more
Suda51. James Gunn. A cheerleader. Zombies. A chainsaw. Sold. I didn't need all that much to convince me that Lollipop Chainsaw was a game after my own heart. But after seeing this trailer, I'm completely sold. Lollipop Chai... more
A while ago, we posted some pretty poor quality Lollipop Chainsaw screens. Now we're back with mostly the exact same shots, but far prettier, and with some different colors! You know how exciting that is? It is very exciting!... more
[Update: James Gunn has clarified his role a bit, and it appears he was on board with the game from its inception. "I was involved with crafting the story, and helping to create the characters, and writing the dialogue," he w... more
Famitsu brings screenshots of Suda 51's latest attempt to break our sanity, Lollipop Chainsaw. Yes, that's a cheerleader with a chainsaw. Yes, she's fighting zombies. Yes, she has a smirking decapitated head hanging from her belt. Yes, you want this game. I mean, really. What more can be said? Just gawp at the screenshots and feel happy in the knowledge that people like Suda 51 exist. more
[Update: Famitsu has put some images of the game on its website, so head over there to check them out. I'm not changing my stupid mock-up header, because I worked so hard on it.] Grasshopper Manufacture would be hard pre... more
