News Crazy People Create Sony vs. Marvel vs. Capcom In LittleBigPlanet 2
We can probably all agree that Marvel vs
Capcom would be better with a dash of Kratos and Cole McGrath. These insane LittleBigPlanet 2 creators have crafted just that, creating a fully fledged beat 'em up within the confines of the upcoming Play Create Share title's beta. The game has proper special moves and everything. It's all a bit bonkers to be...
News Dungeon Defenders Has the Most Colourful Dungeons Ever
Not another dim and grim outing
Dungeons are supposed to be grisly, foreboding places, lit only with torches and the sparks that fly from clashing swords. Not in the world of Dungeon Defenders though, which teams tower defence mechanics with elements of online RPGs, all wrapped up in a cartoon-inspired graphical style. You play one of a team of...
News Tomb Raider Trilogy Confirmed For PlayStation 3 By Crystal Dynamics
Chalk up another PlayStation 3 compilation package slated for release in the new year

Review Blimp: The Flying Adventures (PlayStation Minis)
Blimp: The Flying Adventures is a simplistic navigation title built around a strong physics core
The first game Blimp: The Flying Adventures reminded us of was Crazy Taxi. Sure the game's two-dimensional, set in outer-space and puts you in control of a zeppelin rather than a taxi, but stay with us. It reminds us of Crazy Taxi because the core...
News Get Ready to Raid with Dungeon Hunter: Alliance in Early 2011
Going underground
Top-down action RPGs may be long past their 90s heyday when Diablo and its ilk ruled the roost, but Gameloft is handing the genre a revival potion in the form of Dungeon Hunter: Alliance, heading to PlayStation Network in 2011. You'll be able to team up online with three other hunters to plunder dungeons, rest in villages and do...

News Gah, This PlayStation Move Sharp Shooter Thing Has Gone From "WTF?!" To "Must-Have"
We already have a PlayStation Move gun attachment, but as time goes by we're slowly realising that we need another
Nobody told us this PlayStation Move Sharp Shooter thing was designed by Guerrilla and Zipper. Nobody told us it had pump-action reload. Nobody told us it had a clip slot button on the bottom. This thing is awesome (aside from the...
News Sliding Cars Around *Is* Ridiculously Good Fun
The most fun thing about DiRT 2 (aside from its lavish presentation and addictive progression) was the way the cars handled
It wasn't a simulation game, nor it was it an arcade game — it was somewhere in between. That made sliding around corners ridiculously satisfying. Codemasters clearly understands the strength of its drift mechanic, with this...
News So Y'know They Are Bringing Out All Those NEOGEO Games For PlayStation 3...
.. You might end up wanting one of these PlayStation 3 compatible NEOGEO pads from SNK Playmore and Exar. The USB powered pad will work with both the PS3 and PC. It includes a PlayStation button for easy access to the XMB during gameplay, presumably so you can send your buddy expletives when he kicks your ass with Genan. Jerk. The controller's...

News Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception Still Looks Stupidly Pretty
Previews have been going up for Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception all over the 'net

News New Patch Disarms Time Crisis: Razing Storm's Accuracy Issues
Crisis over, and about time
Time Crisis: Razing Storm is a decent compendium of Namco's arcade shooting games but issues with the cursor's accuracy arguably prevented it from reaching its full potential. Now the publisher has released a new, free patch to address the problem, enabling you to blast with full precision. This new update certainly ups...
News Two Hot Shots Shorties Games Headed To The PlayStation Portable

Hot Shots Shorties Green and Hot Shots Shorties Blue are set to include three mini-games a piece, presumably released under the PlayStation Minis platform...
News Official PlayStation App Announced For iPhone & Android
Little bit weird this one
Cool, but weird. To be honest, we're not really sure why it's weird — but you have to agree there's something a little bizarre about an official PlayStation app for iOS. The Android app makes perfect sense because Sony and Google are practically in love with each other right now — but iOS?! Maybe it's just us. Sony's...
News Modern Combat: Domination Shoots for PlayStation Network Next Month
Gameloft's FPS coming to Move

News Mass Effect 2 PlayStation 3 "Truly The Best Version", Utilises Mass Effect 3's Engine
It's a move that we never anticipated, but makes piles and piles of sense
Bioware's bringing Mass Effect 3 to the PlayStation 3 day-and-date with its XBOX 360 counterpart, but the franchise's previous title, Mass Effect 2, is finally coming to the PS3 in January. Makes sense that the port would run under Mass Effect 3's updated graphics engine,...
News Deus Ex: Human Revolution Pushed Out Of Busy First Quarter
With the fourth quarter of 2010 evaded due to the might of Call Of Duty: Black Ops, it's now time for the Q1 2011 left-overs to leap-frog each other
Deus Ex: Human Revolution's the first game to falter, dropping its first quarter launch in favour of Square Enix's new fiscal year (which runs from April 1st, 2011). Apparently the delay will allow...
News Gameloft's Modern Combat: Domination To Implement PlayStation Move
Modern Combat: Domination might have the worst name in history, but it's coming from Gameloft so we'd expect nothing less
Still, at least the game does exactly what it says on tin. Modern Combat: Domination is all about, well, modern combat domination really. The online multiplayer shooter is heading to the PlayStation Network in January, and will...
News Insomniac Release Director's Cut Resistance 3 Trailer
Insomniac's released an extended "Director's Cut" version of their Resistance 3 trailer

News There's More Than A Hint Of Uncanny Valley In This L.A. Noire Trailer
Look, the tech behind L
A. Noire</a> is clearly absolutely phenomenal. We get that. At the same time, the game just looks weird. Because the technology is so amazing and the facial capture is so realistic, the crappy looking character models just make everything look weird. We hope the rough edges are just a result of early development or...

If you've played Grand Theft Auto IV or Star Wars: The Force Unleashed you'll have encountered...
News Sarbakan Signs Up to Bring its First Move Title to Retail
More in the pipeline
Sarbakan is a veteran of game development, with over 700 titles under its belt, but you'd still be forgiven for having never heard of the Quebec-based developer. That won't last forever though, as the company has signed a deal with an unspecified publisher to bring a PlayStation Move title to retail next year. There's no further...
News Q-Games Detail PixelJunk Shooter 2's Monstrous Online Component
PixelJunk Shooter 2 might have a host of new worlds, liquid, puzzles and bosses -- but clearly what's most exciting about the PSN dual-stick shooter sequel is the game's new online multiplayer component

News Catch Up On Yakuza 4's Cast With Another Set Of Character Trailers
So now we know all about Akiyama, SEGA's decided to release another couple of trailers detailing Yakuza 4's cast
There's footage dedicated to series stalwart Kazuma Kiryu and also jailbird Taiga Saejima. With our Yakuza craving bordering on "unbearable", these trailers are getting a little testing. Just give us the game SEGA. Please.
We're picturing ourselves at Evolution Studio's offices
Behind us is a big whiteboard with the words, "Race Track Brainstorming Session" emblazoned on it. We know the words are important because they've been underlined not once, not twice, but three times. We're wearing a suit, as are the rabble of ladies and gentleman in our vicinity...

News The Yakuza Shoot Zombies In The Head This Coming March
Famitsu's slapped a March 17th release date on SEGA's PlayStation 3-exclusive zombie shoot 'em up

News PlayStation 3 Browser Gets Awesome New Landing Page, Not Compatible With 720p
We always thought 720p was a super popular screen resolution
Seeing as like only three games actually support the full 1080p resolution (and you know, the difference isn't all that noticeable on average TVs), we assumed there were millions of users worldwide playing their games in 720p. According to Sony's statistics though, only 2% of people using...

News SingStar Actually Makes Sense In North America Again, DLC Parity Incoming
In Europe, SingStar is amazing
That's because the SingStore is packed with piles and piles and piles of good karaoke DLC. In the US, SingStar is less amazing. That's because there's hardly any great DLC across the pond. Thanks to a deal between Sony and Universal Music, that's all set to change. As Sony moves towards parity between the two regions,...
News SEGA Plans Retail Dreamcast Collection For PlayStation 3
Reality check: if SEGA was still a hardware manufacturer, PushSquare would not exist
That's fact. Don't tell anyone, but the guys behind PushSquare, yeah, they're SEGA fanboys. They're kinda Nintendo fanboys too, but anyway... Let's move swiftly on before this gets all kinds of awkward. Fact is, here at PushSquare we like the Dreamcast a lot. A lot,...

News Guerrilla Confirms Split-Screen Co-Op For Killzone 3
Killzone 3 is a stupidly pretty PlayStation 3 game, but in justifying just how much Guerrilla's pushing the PlayStation 3 with their lastest title, Herman Hulst has outed the game's split-screen co-op
Speaking in an interview with 1Up about the technical specifications of Killzone 3, Hulst accidentally detailed the much demanded feature: "We...
News European PlayStation Plus Members Net Free Entry To The DC Universe Online Beta
We're downloading all 15GB of the DC Universe Online beta as we type

News Jimmy Fallon Debuts The First Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception Gameplay
For all his forced excitement, we don't entirely hate Jimmy Fallon
The guy clearly enjoys video games, and he's giving them a prime-time spot on his TV show. There's something neat about that. Still, it's hard to watch this debut Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception footage without wanting to wrangle the controller off him — dude can't seem to navigate...
News Europe Confirmed For Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
Looks like Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception will not settle for the Middle East as its sole location, as Sony's own portal for the game notes "a variety of spectacular locations around the world from Europe to the Middle East"
No idea how we missed that in the original PR. The derelict chateau featured in Jimmy Fallon's gameplay blow-out last night is...

News UK PlayStation 3s Get The ITV Player & 4OD This Week
For the most part, television is the worst thing in the world
The top shows — which typically involve no-hopers desperate to become celebrities, or ex-celebrities desperate to become celebrities again — are pretty awful. That said, everyone has their guilty pleasures. And by guilty pleasures, we mean stuff like Emmerdale — gah, what were you...
Review Kung-Fu LIVE (PlayStation 3)
The technology behind Kung-Fu LIVE is incredible at times, transforming the PlayStation Eye into a competent full-body motion controller that literally puts you inside the game
The problem is that the same technology can also be fiddly, with a lengthy set-up process required to get the game working correctly. Even then, though the concept is novel,...

News Sony Europe Chief: Content, Not Marketing, Creates Success
Reiterates strong demand for Move
Head of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Andrew House is an old hand at Sony by now, having joined the company way back in 1990, meaning he's seen pretty much everything games-related the company has done. In a recent interview with MCV he spoke of the key to Move's success: games, not marketing. We know a...
UK Charts There's Really Nothing Very Interesting To See Here
The people of Britain like Call Of Duty: Black Ops
How do we know? It's back at the top of the UK sales charts. Again. Y'know what else British people like? Football. Not the kind that's played with eggs, the kind that's played with balls. Football. Yup, FIFA 11's right at the top of the UK sales charts too. In fact, you know what, these charts...

News Prototype Hits The PlayStation Store This Week
Prototype's the very definition of an "impulse buy" sorta game
The title got decent reviews at launch and has maintained a limited but vocal fan-base. It's been on our "to-do" list for quite some time actually. So it's with some anticipation that we've got wind of Activision's plans to bring the open-world superhero title to the...
