News Sucker Punch Looking into Move Support for inFamous 2
Get physical with Cole
Not so long ago, inFamous 2 was touted for Move support with a listing on the official Sony website, but that soon disappeared. It seems Sucker Punch is still investigating the controller's possibilities however, as an interview with HipHop Gamer uncovered. Sadly that's about all it uncovered, but if Cole's next adventure is...

Japan is celebrating the 40th anniversary of the first KFC opening with a SEGA collaboration
Colonel Sanders will show up in Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity, as will other Yum! Brands fast-food outlets. There'll be Pizza Hut box shields and much more. If you think about it, it's kinda neat.
The PlayStation Move launch went better than I imagined
Word of mouth is extremely positive within the hardcore circles. Conceptually the device bares resemblance to the Wii; but there's a sense that this is what many of us were originally expecting from Nintendo's foray into motion controls. It's the hardcore gamers that Sony have been targeting...
News TGS 10: We're Probably More Excited About Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Than You Are
Tekken's series director, Katsuhiro Harada, has confirmed Tekken Tag Tournament 2 during the Tokyo Game Show today

News Sucker Punch: Move, Multiplayer & 3D All Being Considered For inFamous 2
inFamous 2 is going to be amazing based on the small snippets of the game we've seen

When the PlayStation Portable first launched, Sony differentiated themselves by trying to sell the device to 20-something commuters with plenty of disposable income

News LittleBigPlanet 2 First-Person Shooter Is Kind Of Ridiculous
You're not really supposed to capture video from the LittleBigPlanet 2 beta

News Video of Lily Allen Playing Move is a Sony Marketing Dream Come True
Fashion, popular music and gaming combine
The launch of a vintage fashion shop in London probably isn't the first thing you'd associate with PlayStation Move, but if the Internet has taught you one thing so far it should be that strange combinations make the world go around. That's why this video of the grand opening of Lily Allen and half sister...

It's impossible
First-person net 'em up Ape Escape Fury Fury is about catching monkeys with flashing lights on their heads, but that's got nothing on the musical madness in this Tokyo Game Show trailer.

Special edition comes with extra game
The Wii's Dead Space: Extraction was an excellent but sadly overlooked sci-fi shooter that deserved a bigger audience and a better home.

Gran Turismo 5 keeps getting better
It's almost like Polyphony Digital can't stop adding features. In all honesty, this game could end up being the most complete package ever made.

News TGS 10: So Why Exactly Is The Yakuza Franchise Getting Zombies?
Traditionally, the Yakuza franchise is a fairly serious one
It typically deals with family, politics and friendships. There's some exaggeration to its narrative for sure (it's a video game!), but on the whole it's a pretty grounded franchise. Yakuza: Of The End introduces zombies, however. That's kind of unusual for a franchise so set in reality. So...

The clock-hands are telling
It's late; we've finished writing for the day. But having tried out Enslaved: Odyssey To The West just moments ago, we had to get our thoughts down on digital paper.

News TGS 10: Ok, We're Sold... Yakuza: Of The End Is Going To Be Ay-May-Zing
Yesterday, we weren't too keen on the idea of SEGA shoving zombies into the Yakuza franchise

First Impressions God Of War: Ghost Of Sparta on PSP Demo
We're on a ship, being tossed from side to side as the sea roars around us
Skeletal enemies climb aboard and we tear them to pieces with wreckless abandon. "Lord Kratos," a crew-member screams from the hull above, "It's destroying the entire fleet." As we march through the innards of the ship, we approach the tail of a gigantic...

News Tumble Developer Claims Move is "Too Precise"
Had to dial down the detail for blocky tumbler
We know Move is good: under the right conditions it's capable of stunning precision, as these tech demos prove. Supermassive Games, the team behind upcoming brick-stacker Tumbler, claims the controller is a bit too precise, as it had to smooth out some control kinks to get the game up to par. The amount...
News Sony Norway the New "Oddest Move Advert" Frontrunners
An increasingly packed field
A pretend Vice President pretending to move in with a pretend family to convince you how realistic Move can be? Boring. Two anonymous beings dressed as giant Move controllers? Now that's advertising. Sony Norway's acquitted itself admirably in putting together this off-the-wall advert, showing how two strangers showing...
First Impressions Quantum Theory on PlayStation 3 Demo
There's a sadness to Quantum Theory
It's the result of Japanese developers growing need to appeal worldwide. As development costs soar, Japan is no longer a strong enough market for big budget titles.

News Sony Patent Last-Gen Console Adapter
For some reason people want to play PlayStation 2 games on their PlayStation 3
Now don't get us wrong, we get the convenience of being able to play all those old games on your PS3; we just don't get why it's such a necessity for some people. At the end of the day, if you need to play PS2 games, they still sell the last Sony console in most shops...
News Move Out Now in Australia, Down Under Tour Underway Soon
Get on your kangaroos! etc.
Despite earlier claims that Move's Australasian release was set for September 16th, Sony's official European blog has dropped the bombshell that the controller is available now across Australia and New Zealand. It won't just be letting the controller sit on store shelves waiting for people to pick it up though, as it's...
News Shall We Have Another Look At Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood Then?
For as much as we like Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood's protagonist, Ezio, the man's a bit of a psycho isn't he? This trailer alone proves that
It shows the Italian kicking some serious ass; throwing spears at people and shooting them on the ground with a close-range crossbow. We don't think we'd speak to him if we happened to cross him in the...

News This Is What Night-Time Racing Looks Like In F1 2010
By all accounts, F1 2010 is rather good

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

News You Want Valkyria Chronicles III? Sure, It's Coming...
SEGA's even gone to the trouble of "accidentally" announcing it in fact
While a TGS appearance of Valkyria Chronicles III has been teased for a while, an upload error on SEGA's part has seemingly spilled the full can of beans. See, this ".gif" time-table says nothing more than "Coming Soon" in a couple of the publisher's TGS...

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
