PAIN's Pinball Heroes table really doesn't stack up next to the quality of the rest of the package, with basic visuals and a lack of ideas
It's probably coincidence that PAIN's Pinball Heroes table is a bit rubbish - the PSN title it's based on is certainly not one of our favourites in the PushSquare office, so there's no real love lost here. When...
News Ninja Theory Gaffer Not Stoked By "Limited" 3D Console Tech
Ninja Theory's boss man Tameem Antoniades has told CVG that 3D effects in current gen consoles are limiting
The leader of the team responsible for Heavenly Sword reckons framerates are the culprit. The problem is that to do 3D properly you need to render 60 frames per second, per eye. And at least a 720p resolution [per eye]. So in essence...
News No, Actually Killzone 2 Won't Be Getting A 3D Update
News coming out of SCEA's PSN magazine Qore last week hinted that Killzone 2 was to get an update into the third dimension, courtesy of Sony's new Bravia range and updated PS3 firmware
That news was incorrect. Sony's said so: That last feature included interviews, footage from CES 2010, and a brief montage of SCEA titles intended as examples of...

News Hammer Wars Launches On Playstation Minis
Hammer Wars certainly looks different
The game just launched on the European PSN Store for the PSP and PS3, and promises "high quality graphics, fascinating storyline and off-beat characters".

News It's Easter Monday: Have A Pile Of Stunning Gran Turismo 5 Footage
It's a new week
It's a bank holiday. And that means there's more footage leaking out of Gran Turismo 5. Honestly - there's more unofficial footage of this stuff right now than there is official. These videos were picked up by Mimaximax , and feature footage of the McLaren F1, TVR Tuscan Speed 6, Mercedes SLR, and Nissan GTR V-Spec. Oh, it looks...

News Resident Evil: Afterlife Movie Trailer Features Chugging Guitars, Loneliness, Albert Wesker
Here's your second look at upcoming movie Resident Evil: Afterlife then
It's pretty heavy on the kind of music we liked when we were 12. And big vista shots with planes and stuff flying by. Oh - and Albert Wesker. (There's some Ali Larter too.) All in all a success for the target audience then.
News David Jaffe Drops Hints That Eat, Sleep, Play's PS3 Title Is "Falling Into Place"

News Sony: Hardcore Gamers "Look Down Their Nose" At Motion Control
Peter Dille, SCEA's top marketing honcho, made a few comments regarding the Playstation Move this weekend that have been a little misconstrued
Speaking of motion control, Dille noted that the Wii has been supremely successful "but at the end of the day it's not a very precise experience". So far so, true? So what has got the Internet's...
News XBOX Man: Web Browsing On PS3 Is "A Nightmare"
We don't know about you lot, but we actually use the PS3 web browser all the time
It's often a broken, slow and clunky experience - no doubt about it. But we'd be lost without. When the computers are all switched off, we're in the middle of a game, and we need to quickly get an update on a story or something happening around the web — the first...

High Velocity Bowling has been on my Playstation 3's hard-drive for a long time
I think I bought it while it was in one of SCEE's ludicrously cheap sales. I played it for maybe five-minutes after purchase and then never touched it again. But yesterday was a Bank Holiday here in the UK - a.k.a. "Sit On Your Ass And Do Nothing For 12 Hours"...
News Split/Second Trailer Is As Amazing As They Come
It's the Easter weekend
We should be as far away from the office as possible. But we just saw that Disney's released a new trailer for their upcoming "reality TV" racing game, Split/Second. As you might expect, it looks completely killer, with pounding beats, slow-motion and explosions. May's going to be awesome for racers: Modnation...

Review Pinball Heroes: High Velocity Bowling (PlayStation Portable)
Clever use of the bowling mechanic makes High Velocity Bowling's table one of the more interesting choices from Pinball Heroes' selection
High Velocity Bowling's Pinball Heroes table is based on the aesthetic of the PSN game of the same name. That means there's a faux mid-50's vibe to the cabinet's aesthetic, with a huge ten-pin bowling graphic...
News Final Fantasy IX Gets Confirmed For Release On The Japanese PSN
It's happening folks
We hinted at it a few days ago, but Square Enix has confirmed that Final Fantasy IX will be making the short journey over to the PSN. It was confirmed by Square Enix president Yoichi Wada via the firm's Japanese Twitter page. It wouldn't make sense not to put it on there, given how well both Final Fantasy VII and VIII have sold...

Review Just Cause 2 (PlayStation 3)
Honestly, who cares? The game's too badly written and voiced to give any sane player a semblance of interest
But that's kind of the point — Just Cause 2 is a sandbox where the crux of the experience depends on exploration and making your own fun. The B-movie type plot shoots for a James Bond under-cover agent style motive that attempts to justify...
Review Pinball Heroes: Uncharted Drake's Fortune (PlayStation Portable)
The Uncharted aesthetic is very pleasing, but the Uncharted: Drake's Fortune Pinball Heroes table lacks the imagination of its counter-parts
Based on the huge Playstation 3 hit from Naughty Dog, the Uncharted: Drake's Fortune Pinball Heroes table is a competent but simplistic experience. It's an aesthetically pleasing table, with the plane crash...
News Resident Evil: Afterlife Shots Emerge, Reveal A Sopping Wet Ali Larter
Say what you will about the Resident Evil movies and their ridiculous "alternate" story-line -- Ali Larter as Claire Redfield was supremely delicious in third movie Resident Evil: Extinction
Thus, we just couldn't resist this shot of the new movie, Resident Evil: Afterlife, showing a supremely soaked Ali Larter with fellow zombie ass-kicker Mila...
News Kojima Productions & Ubisoft Montreal Do April Fools' Day
Half of the "humour" in this video goes right over our head
But we do get the Assassin's Creed piss-taking. That's funny. We guess. Sort of. Maybe? Haha - surgical masks. Sigh. <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="468" height="260" codebase=" name="allowfullscreen"...
News Sony Online Entertainment Actually Mention The Words "The Agency" Again, Universe Flips Out
About 18 months ago, we posted numerous stories about Sony Online Entertainment's upcoming James Bond-esque MMO The Agency
In fact, at the time, people were talking about a PS3 MMO revolution. But as time's passed, the spearhead of that revolution - The Agency, Free Realms and DC Universe Online - have all but disappeared. Well, until today that is...
Ok Ubisoft, you've got us
Despite Prince Of Persia: The Forgotten Sands being a reboot of a franchise we already thought was rebooted in 2008, this game looks kind of awesome. The PS2 Prince Of Persia games were already great for their time, and a little bit more of that really can't do any harm. And that's exactly what this latest gameplay trailer...
News Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker Suffers A Delay In The UK
Not an April Fools' Day joke we're 'fraid
CVG's confirmed that Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker will receive a month-long delay here in the UK, hitting shelves on June 18th as opposed to the originally planned date of May 28th. Sorry folks, but that's the way the cookie crumbles.

The original White Knight Chronicles has only just come out in the West, but the sequel is very much a real thing in Japan
So much so, SCEJ has just released a bunch of new shots for the Level-5 collaboration, courtesy of GameWatch. The visuals look pretty similar to the game's predecessor, so we hope these are pretty early days. White Knight...
News Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown Isn't A Real Video Game

News Gran Turismo 5's AI To Get A Complete Revamp, Seasoned Franchise Fans Rejoice
One of the most common complaints pertaining to the Gran Turismo series has consistently been the AI
