Silent Hill: Shattered Memories proved to me that survival horror benefits from motion control better than most other genres
The game placed you in a particularly threat-free world; opting instead to create tension through interaction and atmosphere. Simply moving your flashlight across the game's eerily dark setting was enough to place you in the...
News PushSquare Service Announcement: PlayStation Network Maintenance Scheduled For August 30th
August 30th is a bank holiday here in the UK

First Impressions RUSE on PlayStation 3 Demo
The real time strategy genre on consoles has proved a tough nut to crack
It's hard to pick out a particularly memorable console strategy game that's compared favourably to its PC counter-part. Typically that's down to the interface, which suits the mouse and keyboard much better than a dual analogue stick set-up. With RUSE and PlayStation Move...

News Europe's Enslaved Collector's Edition Is By-The-Numbers
Enslaved's collector's edition is fairly standard-fare stuff: you get a copy of the game, an artbook and the soundtrack

News Is This "The End" Of The Yakuza Franchise As We Know It?
There are scant details regarding the new PlayStation 3 Yakuza game at the moment
Much of SEGA's marketing muscle is going into the upcoming PSP title, which is due much sooner than its PlayStation 3 brethren. Hence why this morning's Famitsu magazine is so shocking. Building up to the game's full reveal at next month's Tokyo Game Show, SEGA's...

We vaguely remember This Is Vegas. There was a bit of a push behind it at E3 2008, but by the time this website launched (in January 2009) things had gone quiet for the Midway published game.
