News The Last of Us' Lead Character Artist Michael Knowland Has Left Naughty Dog
Goodbye and good luck
In a series of events that's beginning to look as weird as the plot from a David Lynch film, yet another Naughty Dog staffer is packing up their bags and jumping ship. Michael Knowland, the incredibly talented lead character artist on The Last of Us, has reportedly left the studio. He's yet to reveal where he plans to peddle...
News Sportsfriends Brings Multiplayer Mayhem to the PS3 and PS4 on 6th May
Joust a few more days
After an almost unbearable wait, multiplayer indie compilation Sportsfriends is finally seeing a console release. Originally funded on Kickstarter, the title includes four separate local multiplayer experiences, and will be launching on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 on 6th May in North America and 7th May in Europe.

News PlayStation Plus Was the Best Option for Mercenary Kings, Says Developer
No regrets
As you're no doubt aware, this month's PlayStation Plus freebie on the PlayStation 4 was Tribute Games' indie shmup Mercenary Kings. Originally released on the PC last year, the title joins a growing number of games being giv
News PS4 Firmware Update 1.70 Will Be Going Live on 30th April
This is not a drill
There's been murmurings about it for weeks now, but PlayStation 4 firmware update v1.70 has finally been given a firm launch date. That's right, Sony has announced that the patch will be going live on 30th April. Obviously, this is a pretty big boon for console owners themselves, but it also means that we don't have to write...
News You Can Try Out Call of Duty: Ghosts' Onslaught DLC for Free This Weekend
As free as the wind blows
When they're not releasing vague teaser images of forlorn looking soldiers, the men and women behind the Call of Duty series are creating seasons worth of DLC packs, all with appropriately silly names. And the most recent title in the monolithic franchise is no excepti
News Here's the Sort of Video You'll Be Able to Make with SHAREfactory on the PS4
Star wipes as far as the eye can see
With the recent announcement of PlayStation 4 firmware update v1.70, Sony also unveiled SHAREfactory, a nifty little application that will let you edit together the clips that you've recorded using the console's robust sharing options. While we reckon that this could become a bit of a cash cow for the company,...

Ten new titles added
The PlayStation Now beta has been trundling along for a while now, and participants have no doubt been using the service to stream games until their thumbs drop off from exhaustion.

News Ace Combat: Infinity May Be the Most Intense Free-to-Play Game Yet
Flying high
Free-to-play may be fraught with peril, but that doesn't mean that there's no fun to be had. Ace Combat: Infinity, the newest entry in the long running flight sim series, sees you taking to the skies on your PlayStation 3 without paying a single cent. In order to give the title a boost, developer Project Aces has released this brand new...
Rumour PS4 Exclusive Resogun May Be Getting Local Co-Op DLC
Standby for arguments
Resogun is a remarkably intense solo experience. Dodging and weaving your way through millions of voxels is a complete thrill by any standard. But as we noted in our review, the game quite notably lacks a local co-op mode. And while the online multiplayer may be fun, it's not quite the same as having a friend sitting mere...

News Gorgeous Indie Platformer Teslagrad Will Be Electrifying the PS3 and Vita
Tesla? I barely know her
Indie platformers are dime a dozen these days, but very few are as visually striking as Rain Games' stunning title Teslagrad. Taking massive cues from classic Disney, the game's painterly and picturesque panoramas have a very distinct look to them. What's more, the Norwegian developer has painstakingly attempted to recreate...

Just ballin'
The newest iteration of Sony's popular baseball sim MLB 14 The Show recently released on the PlayStation 3, with the PlayStation 4 version not too far away either. Unsurprisingly, then, the Japanese giant has released a brand new trailer that highlights the many and varied reasons that you should take aim at the newer edition. The...
News PS4 Firmware Update 1.70 Will Add New Sharing Options and HDCP Support
Don't HDC-Pee yourself in excitement
After what seems like an eternity (read: a couple of weeks), Sony has released some solid information regarding the incoming PlayStation 4 firmware update v1.70, and the new additions are looking pretty nifty. Most notably, the Japanese giant has added an entirely new
News Whoa, Sony Is Selling All of Its 9,520,000 Shares in Square Enix
A lightning sale
Here's an odd one: Sony Computer Entertainment has recently announced that it has decided to sell its 9,520,000 shares in Square Enix to Japanese financial company SMBC Nikko Securities. The sale will furnish the firm with a flabbergasting ¥4.7 billion ($47 million) of wallet-filling financial gains. While it's certainly not going...

Crafting a better future
In what we're hoping becomes a lasting trend, developer Re-Logic has recently announced that it'll be taking the same route as Sucker Punch and releasing an impressively large free update for its open world exploration title Terraria. The patch – which has been available on the PC for a while now – will be arri
News BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma Will Bring Bombastic Brawling to the Vita on 24th June
Phantasmagorical
We learnt that fighting title BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma would be making a beeline for the PlayStation Vita earlier in the year, but unfortunately weren't given a firm release date. Luckily, Aksys Games has recently announced that the title will be hitting both stores shelves and the PlayStation Store on 24th June. Who ever said...
News PS4 Shooter Secret Ponchos May Be Getting a Single Player Siesta
East-would you like that?
While it may be holstering its weapon for a bit longer, we're still pretty excited for Secret Ponchos. Boasting a killer theme, as well as the coolest art-style in the Wild West, the title has definitely piqued our interest. The multiplayer shooter sees you duke it out with up to seven other cowboys, attempting to be the...
News Retro Shmup Mercenary Kings Will Be Pumping the Vita Full of Lead
And it's cross buy, too
If you're a PlayStation Plus member, you've likely spent the last week or two playing through Tribute Games' retro romp Mercenary Kings. What's more, if you're anything like us, you've probably been lamenting the fact that it isn't on the PlayStation Vita. Because, as we all know, any game can be made instantly better by...
News Here's How Kojima Made Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes Look So Foxy
Graphical grunt
Do you want to know how Hideo Kojima made Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes look so good? Are you eager to learn how every follicle of Snake's facial fleece was fashioned to a fine finesse? Is all of this alliteration making you physically ill? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you're in for a treat, as Konami has...
News You May Be Seeing New Info on The Last Guardian in the Near Future
That's the theory
While it may feel like we're beating a dead horse – or, more appropriately, a dead giant dinosaur-bird-thing – we really would like Sony to just tell us what's going on with The Last Guardian. Honestly, we wouldn't even be that mad if the Japanese giant had cancelled the game. Okay, maybe we would be pretty mad, but that would...
News Wait, Did Housemarque Just Announce a Sequel to Resogun?
Fingers crossed
Do you like mysterious and intriguing tweets that hint at new and exciting games, without ever actually giving any concrete details? No? Neither do we really, but, in the words of the Rolling Stones, you can't always get what you want. Housemarque, the talented team behind Resogun – one of our favourite games of 2013 – is hard at...
News Mercenary Kings Developer Tribute Games Has Set Its Sights on a New Title
More info to be revealed at PAX
Indie studio Tribute Games has been a bit busy of late, having recently released old school shoot-'em-up Mercenary Kings. There's no rest for the wicked, though, as it's also just announced a totally new game by way of a frustratingly ambiguous tweet. The Quebec-based developer released the above image accompanied...
Weirdness This Metal Gear Solid V iDroid iPhone Case Is Epically Impractical
But totally rad
One of the most intriguing new pieces of tech in Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes is Snake's handy dandy iDroid. The technological toy replaces some of the functions of the traditional codec, while also adding in a few nifty new abilities. It's a pretty unsubtle jab at the insanely popular iPhone, but we'll forgive it, if only...
Rumour DriveClub May Be Parking on the PlayStation 4 on 12th June
Right in the middle of E3
Sony's handling of the seemingly never-ending delays to PlayStation 4 exclusive DriveClub has been the very definition of radio silence. Apart from a few vague comments here and there, we've really heard nothing of any note for months now. However, a recent email sent out by computer manufacturer Dell claims that the game...
