Smooth moves
We’re probably in the minority, but we love a good mini-game compilation. There’s something exhilarating about hopping between a host of madcap mechanics – even if the experience can end up feeling a bit shallow as a result. Frima Studio’s upcoming PlayStation Move-powered Lights, Camera, Party! looks to embody everything...
News Analyst Predicts Challenges for Medal of Honor: Warfighter
Been there, done that
Interest in Medal of Honor: Warfighter is at an all time low.

As such, US analyst Doug Creutz has decided to slash the title’s projected sales estimates. He previously...

Signs of a slow news day: we post the North American PlayStation Store update a day early, we spend the majority of the morning reading BBC live text updates, and we write an article about basketball just to give us something to do. Yes, folks, it’s been deader than a Dodo today. So what’s new in the world of, er,...
News Shuhei Yoshida: SOCOM Franchise Is Not Done
Just on hiatus
Given the tepid critical response to SOCOM 4 and the closure of developer Zipper Interactive, many assumed that it was game over for Sony's tactical shooter series – but Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida has adopted a “never say never” mentality to the future of the franchise. “It's not done.

Review Puddle (PlayStation Vita)
Splash damage
You could never accuse Puddle of lacking ideas.

Back to life
What does a pretty Japanese lady applying make-up have to do with the recently announced Yakuza 1 & 2 HD Edition?

Run/stop
Assuming you’ve beaten Grand Theft Auto: Vice City at some point over the last ten years, you’ll probably appreciate this demake of its brutal final stage.

News New Need for Speed: Most Wanted Video Puts Its Foot Down
Va-va-voom
There’s very little we need to say about this brand new Need for Speed: Most Wanted gameplay trailer.

News So Much for Dead or Alive 5 Not Being Creepy
Bikinis, anyone?
We feel stupid for buying into Yosuke Hayashi’s lip-service about elevating Dead or Alive 5’s image now. The Team Ninja executive claimed earlier in the year that the studio was hoping to tame the brawler’s juvenile “sex and violence” tone – and we actually believed him. But this brand new trailer – which shows Zack...

There are eight PSP titles on this week’s Japanese sales chart. The ageing handheld proved that there's still life in its elderly legs by outpacing the Vita by a few thousand units.
