Feature PlayStation At GamesCom 2011: The PushSquare Round-Up
Phew
Thus concludes another bonkers day in PlayStation land, and we're sure the announcements won't stop coming as GamesCom fever takes hold over the course of the week.

According to newsletters sent out by various...

GamesCom 2011 DICE Stuns With Fresh Battlefield 3 Multiplayer Footage
DICE decided to use EA's GamesCom press conference to demonstrate Battlefield 3's co-operative campaign running on the PlayStation 3

EA and Bioware's "high octane alien adventure" Mass Effect 3 got a new batch of footage as part of GamesCom today

GamesCom 2011 Dante Does Plenty Of Sword Swinging In Fresh DmC Trailer
We doubt the GamesCom trailer for Ninja Theory's DmC is going to do much to quell fear amongst fans
The combat looks decent enough for sure, but the game just looks empty — perhaps through the fault of its edit. The trailer showcases a variety of environments, but we still need to see much more of DmC before we can form an opinion on it. The game...

News PushSquare Service Announcement: Sony & EA GamesCom 2011 Press Conferences Today
Despite the anticipation being nowhere near E3, we always enjoy the muted build-up to the GamesCom press conferences

GamesCom 2011 Soul Calibur V Sizzles In New Gameplay Reel
CGI trailers? Pssht, who needs those? Namco Bandai's released a fresh trailer for Soul Calibur V, and it's packed with fresh gameplay footage to feast your eyes on
It's also got plenty of melodramatic commentary — a staple for the Soul Calibur series we suppose. "Those who live by the sword, must die by the sword," etc. You get the idea.
GamesCom 2011 Latest Dark Souls Trailer Reveals Huge Bosses
We'd be excited for Dark Souls if we knew we had the patience to play it

GamesCom 2011 Asura's Wrath Looks Mad Japanese (Still Kinda Rad)
Capcom and Cyber-Connect 2's released a brand new trailer for Asura's Wrath to celebrate GamesCom
The hastily cut gameplay footage shows the game's protagonist in a one-on-one battle, with plenty of QTEs. The action itself certainly looks fun, but like the DmC trailer from earlier today, this is hardly the most well thought-out trailer the publisher...

Review Phineas and Ferb: Across the Second Dimension (PlayStation 3)
Summer lackluster
Many licensed video games that release in the summer are based on big budget blockbusters complete with over-the-top action sequences, fully voiced dialogue and epic set pieces that strive to blur the line between movie and game. Phineas and Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension is not such a game. Based on a made-for-TV Disney movie of...
