News Shuhei Yoshida Casts Doubt Over NGP RAM Reduction Rumours
Earlier in the week a French website reported that the NGP's RAM had been reduced from 512mb to 256mb
While Sony never confirmed the system's specifications, the rumour commanded a lot of attention on a number of mainstream publications. Many suggested Sony had scaled down the ambition of its new handheld in order to meet price concerns. But in a...
Rumour NGP To Be Named PSVita?
It's about a week until E3, so its only natural that the rumours and leaks should start to intensify
The Internet's been going crazy overnight about a couple of leaked photographs supposedly revealing the NGP's final name. That name is PSVita, by the way. Vita was originally believed to be one of NGP's codenames before the system was announced. The...
News GRIN Founders Blame Square Enix For Studio's Close, Hilarity Inside
Remember GRIN? There was a period in 2009 where virtually every game coming out had their name on it: Bionic Commando, Wanted, Terminator Salvation
They seemed to come out of nowhere, and disappear just as quickly. Yet shortly after their closure we got details that the company was working on a Final Fantasy reboot for Square Enix. That reboot,...

E3's crept up on me
I've known it's been coming for some time, but am only just starting to get that pang of excitement for the event and all its impending announcements. A lot of gamers describe E3 as their equivalent of Christmas, and it really does feel that way. But I also sense the tide has been changing for some years. While the spectacle of...

There's been some amazing limited edition PlayStation 3s
The Tales Of Xillia hardware bundle shown off in Japan this afternoon is one of the better ones, though. The limited edition hardware was announced in Japan as part of Namco Bandai's "Tales Of Festival 2011". The themed 160GB console comes with a copy of Tales Of Xillia and a...
News Okabu Has The Best Theme-Song You'll Hear All Year

News Excellent, SEGA is Bringing House of the Dead: Overkill to Move
Extended Cut on the way
SEGA's House of the Dead: Overkill on Wii was a fantastically gory and ludicrously tasteless reimagining of the classic House of the Dead arcade series, and now the game is coming to PS3 in the lengthily-named House of the Dead: Overkill — Extended Cut. As well as full support for PlayStation Move and stereoscopic 3D, we...

News Fumito Ueda's Not Going To E3, The Last Guardian's Appearance Plunged Into Puddle Of Doubt
Team ICO's gaffer Fumito Ueda is not going to E3
Apparently. See, while we've no real reason to doubt Ueda's Twitter confirmation, we seem to recall David Jaffe pulling a similar stunt last year, only to roll up in Sweet Tooth's ice-cream truck and announce Twisted Metal. Of course, there's a good chance Ueda is telling the truth, in which case The...

News Rejoice Japan: PlayStation Network To Partially Return Tomorrow In Asia
Could you imagine if the PSN had been down worldwide as long as it's been down in Japan and parts of Asia? It's pretty unthinkable, right? Sony was required to prove to the Japanese government that it had strengthened its system security before bringing the PSN back online in the region
Presumably that's all done and dusted now as the service is set...

The following bonuses are available for customers who pre-order at various outlets, along with the official descriptions from...
Take no notice of Brink's storyline
We didn't. As much as we adore the game's quirky art-direction, the plot is utter nonsense. You're situated on a water-based city known as the Ark, but there's chaos aboard the warring location as its inhabitants are divided by two factions: the Security and the Resistance. Cut-scenes try to tie the narrative...

News Bloodrayne: Betrayal Actually Looks Pretty Rad
The blood will rain in Bloodrayne: Betrayal
Seriously, there's more blood in this 50-second debut trailer than most games contain in a full 20-hour campaign. Still, we suppose it makes sense — this being a game called Bloodrayne and all. The game itself actually looks pretty rad. Some of the animation is a teensy bit janky, but we like the...
News Advice: Watch The Hunted: The Demon's Forge Launch Trailer On Mute
Hunted: The Demon's Forge looks decent enough: a Gears Of War-esque co-operative adventure set in a fantasy world

News Sony Acknowledges 'Future Platform' For The First Time
We all know Sony's working on a new PlayStation
It's as obvious as the sun-setting. But up until now, Sony has not acknowledged a new home console in any way. That changed this morning, when Sony mentioned a "future platform" at its financial meeting for investors. Sonys VP and CFO, Masaru Kato, mentioned the "future platform"...

The PlayStation Move Sharp Shooter is an awesome-looking piece of kit, with stacks of buttons, sliders, stocks and triggers, but it's also a pretty costly $40/£40. There must be a cheaper alternative, right? Movemodo Kussuth thinks so, and shared this photo of a home-made Sharp Shooter alternative fashioned from...

We're under two weeks away from Sony's E3 press conference now, and those expecting a short in-and-out affair might be surprised that the event is set to last five hours. The actual announcements will likely come in the initial 'media briefing', expected to last an hour and a half or so, with a mysterious 'special event' following on...
News Ban This Sick Filth: Daily Mail Blasts Modern Warfare 3 For 'Recreating' London Attacks
In July 2005 there was a series of terrorist attacks on London
As with all terrorist attacks, the event was given a fancy buzzword by the media — duh, 7/7 of course — so we could all easily recall the horrors of the day. One prong of the attack involved blowing a hole in a London Underground train. A similar image is depicted in the latest Call...

News Rockstar: Agent Is 'Still In Development'
Remember Agent? No
Well, fair enough, it has been a while. Allow us to jog your memory: back at E3 2009 Sony announced that Rockstar was developing an exclusive PlayStation 3 title called Agent.

"Bagsy not reviewing it," was the chant that reverberated through the PushSquare office when we got word of another entry in the shockingly unfunny DeathSpank

Review We Dare (PlayStation 3)
We feel dirty now
We Dare raised more than just eyebrows with its original trailer: the thought of young gamers getting into an array of saucy situations was too much for some, who seized upon the game's PEGI 12+ rating to call it immoral, insulting and downright offensive. Well, they got two right. We Dare's whole reputation as a bawdy party game...

Tactics on the Move
SOCOM 2 wasn’t only just one of the best shooters for the PlayStation 2, but many would likely even call it the best on the system.

News Sony's Not Done With The Dance Game Genre Yet
We actively dislike the dance game genre
We've made it a point to make that clear over the past couple of years, but we can't ignore their relevance. Franchises like Just Dance on the Nintendo Wii and Dance Central on the XBOX 360 are huge.
