Syphon Filter 4, guys
We've waited so long for this moment, and now it seems like Sony has revealed the great announcement prematurely.

The news popped up on the PlayStation Blog but was...

News Sony's Not Done With The Dance Game Genre Yet

Yet Sony's attempts to capture the market have been less convincing, with SingStar: Dance not quite shaking...

Rumour Sports Champions Developer To Prove The Potential Of PlayStation Move For A Second Time?
Sports Champions is one of the most heavily under-rated releases of 2010 in our opinion
It's not that the game scored unfavourably, it's just that it didn't manage to register on the radar of most players. Which is a deep shame, because as far as we're concerned, the sports compilation's interpretation of table-tennis is hands-down the most accurate...
