Review EyePet: Move Edition (PlayStation 3)
An EyePet is for life, not just for hardware launches
EyePet was originally released in Europe at the end of 2009, long before the arrival of PlayStation Move. Back then the game only required a PlayStation Eye, with everything controlled by your hands and a piece of plastic that you held up to the camera. It worked rather well for what it was, but...
Review Space Invaders: Infinity Gene (PlayStation 3)
It might be a bit pretentious for Space Invaders: Infinity Gene to quote the words of Charles Darwin at the start of a new game, but there's a metaphor in the game's key mechanic of evolution

News Shaun White Skateboarding Actually Looks Really Rather Good
We can't get on with the Skate games
We appreciate why people enjoy the hardcore stick-flicking of EA's franchise, but we grew up with the Tony Hawk games, where you mash lots of buttons and watch your score multiply.

News Capcom Denies That They're Alienating PlayStation 3 Owners With Dead Rising 2
The first thing we thought when Capcom announced a second piece of XBOX 360 exclusive Dead Rising 2 content during TGS last week was, "Why?" Not why are they releasing the exclusive content, but why are they bothering to put the full game on the PlayStation 3 in the first place? They may aswell have kept the franchise an exclusive, as they don't seem fully committed to the PS3 at all
Sony fans are understandably felling pretty alienated now. But Capcom denies any wrong-doing. Co-producer Shinsaku...

News Sony Touts The Importance Of Buttons As An Input Device
Sony tried controller-less last generation
It didn't really work out. While the EyeToy was an interesting piece of tech, it hit a brick-wall when it came to most control decisions. The lack of tactile feedback in a controller-less device severely limits the number of things that can be achieved. Hence the direction taken with the PlayStation Move...
News The Wait For Bioshock: Infinite Is Going To Be Long & Difficult
We were excited about Bioshock: Infinite the moment it got announced

Motion slickness
Let loose in March 2009, Capcom's original release of Resident Evil 5 was received with critical acclaim, but was recognised as having more in common with third-person action games than the survival horror premise of earlier titles in the series. With extra features available in the Gold Edition, gamers have the chance to revisit...
Review Sports Champions (PlayStation 3)
Will it make you want to Move?
When Sony announced it was developing a motion controller for PlayStation 3, it certainly didn't shock anyone to see a collection of motion-controlled sports games to go along with it. While comparisons to Nintendo's Wii Remote and Wii Sports Resort are inevitable, it might be a bit more fair to compare it to the...
Feature Five DLC Characters We'd Love To See Added To Sports Champions
Our biggest complaint with the excellent Sports Champions is that on a presentation level it's pretty flat
Let's be honest here, who is going to remember what Kenji and Giselle look like? Zindagi might have done an excellent job programming personality into the AI opponents, but their art team weren't on form designing the characters. That's fine,...

News This Is What Night-Time Racing Looks Like In F1 2010
By all accounts, F1 2010 is rather good
Sensational in fact. It might just fill that racing void until Gran Turismo 5 drops in November. As such, we thought you readers would appreciate this Eurogamer exclusive trailer of the game's night-time events. It includes music which might get your head nodding. The game's out soon.

News We're Not Quite Sure What Sony Norway Were Smoking When They Cooked Up The MoveMen
We understand that in Europe Daft Punk and electro-disco culture is a big deal
What we don't understand is what it has to do with PlayStation Move. For as much as we love the sidechained bass synths in this Sony Norway commercial, we're not sure it says anything about the strengths of Move at all.

Review Top Gun (PlayStation 3)
Touting the involvement of Top Gun's original screenwriter, Jack Epps Jr
, the PlayStation Network toes a line between new and familiar content. The game's not the most cinematic ever created, and as such its plot can be difficult to follow, but it maintains a vibe in-keeping with the source material and defines some exposure for which to fly...
News Call Of Duty: Black Ops Gets Body Parts Cut In Japan
In Japan, you will not see parts of human beings been blown apart in Call Of Duty: Black Ops

News Hustle Kings, Now With Added PlayStation Move Stabbing Motions
We've always imagined that VooFoo's already-quite-good pool simulation title, Hustle Kings, would be better with added PlayStation Move stabbing motions

SEGA's even gone to the trouble of "accidentally" announcing it in fact

News Mafia II Holds The UK Sales Charts Top Spot
Mafia II's enjoying a third consecutive stint at the top of the UK sales charts
Good for 2K; for all the criticism of Mafia's limited interaction, it's a cinematic game that's certainly worth playing. Even if gangsters make you cringe. Tom Clancy's HAWX 2 was the big climber this week, jumping from 10th straight into 2nd position now it's available...

MAG did surprisingly well
Not only has it been well received by players - drawing many hardcore PlayStation players away from the likes of Battlefield and Call Of Duty - but it was also a bigger commercial success than many anticipated. It comes with the PushSquare office seal of approval too; we really enjoyed it (and continue to do so). It's...

News So Blood Drive's Like A Multiplatform Twisted Metal Then... Whatever!
Activision's announced a November release date for their car-combat title, Blood Drive, and

News Wait For It: Dissidia Duodecim Announced For The PlayStation Portable
Did we spell that right? Not sure -- Dissidia Duodecim: Final Fantasy
Yeah, we think that's how the press release put it. You can probably guess what it is — the sequel to Dissidia; you know, that PSP Final Fantasy game that was part brawler, part nostalgia fest, part amazing. The game's due in 2011. Expect much, much more at TGS.

If you were looking forward to performing the moonwalk while grasping a PlayStation Move controller - bad news

News These Are The PlayStation Move Commercials You Can Expect To See In Europe
The SCEE commercials for PlayStation Move are pretty much what you'd expect
They focus on the accuracy pillar of Sony's motion device and play into the whole "cardboard cut-out" thing that SCEE's been pushing for the past year. In honesty, they're functional and fine, but we're not convinced they really hammer home the unique nature of...

News By The Way: Dead Space 2 Has Multiplayer, Here's Your First Look
No, you're right
Dead Space 2 does not need multiplayer. The original was such an atmospheric game because of the sense of isolation. So we're not sure why Visceral's decided to chuck in multiplayer. But whatever - let's just assume that the single-player's going to be the same thrill-ride we've come to expect from Dead Space, and assume the...

Review Alien Breed: Impact (PlayStation 3)
Alien Breed: Impact is a claustrophobic attempt at revitalising a classic genre
It certainly packs plenty of atmosphere across its five or so hour campaign; but some control quirks, and drawn-out mission design make it hard to stomach in long stretches. Alien Breed is a Team-17 classic. Released on the Amiga in the early-1990's, the game was a...

Review Pinball Heroes: Modnation Racers (PlayStation Portable)
There are some neat tricks in Pinball Heroes' presentation of Modnation Racers, but in all the table is a little flat

The Fat Princess table in Pinball Heroes depicts the chaos of a stalemate in its source material, but it leads to a busy and complicated experience

Review Widget's Odyssey II (PlayStation Minis)
Widget's Odyssey II is a simple little platform game with a decent narrative driving it
Sadly, the game's agonisingly short. What's a couple of quid worth? A pint of beer, perhaps. A ploughman's sandwich. Widget's Odyssey II will last longer than both, but not by much. The game picks up from the last Widget's Odyssey title. The adorably annoying...

First Impressions Vanquish on PlayStation 3 Demo
In many ways, Vanquish is exactly what you'd expect it to be
It's Japanese developers attempting to create a Western game. And so it feels distinctly like Gears Of War. Character movement is chunky, targeting is smooth and the gun-play is beefy and responsive. But it's also being developed in Japan; so it's all a bit bonkers. For example, your...
