E3 2015 Ready at Dawn Ditching PS4 for Oculus Rift Exclusive
Moving on
Remember that recent Ready at Dawn interview where the Californian company referenced an unannounced piece of hardware?

News Xbox Expats May Prefer This Hori PS4 Controller
Asymmetrical sticks FTW
Data shows that a lot of ex-Xbox fans have made the switch to the PlayStation 4 this generation, but not everyone's happy with the placement of the DualShock 4's analogue sticks.

E3 2015 Scratch Metal Gear Rising 2 Off Your Wishlist
Wait for your Revengeance
Metal Gear Rising 2 won't be shown at this year's E3, sadly. Platinum Games – who already appears to have its work cut out with the exciting Transformers: Devastation – was linked with a spin-off sequel earlier in the year, but that was before all of this Konami craziness kicked off. Senior producer Ken-Ichiro Imaizumi...

Two new challengers have entered the Street Fighter V ring: Birdie and Cammy.

E3 2015 Transformers: Devastation Is the Childhood Title of Your Dreams
More than meets the eye

But what could they be?
Stop press! Square Enix has hinted that it has secrets to share during its E3 2015 press conference next week.

But will it ever release overseas?
Gaming's most groomed executive Toshihiro Nagoshi will be smiling today, as Yakuza Zero – the latest entry in his soap opera-like series – has surpassed 500,000 units in Japan. The game's only three months old so this is a particularly impressive feat; perhaps it's time we reminded everyone that we'd love a...

E3 2015 PS4's ABZÛ Is Journey Set Under the Sea
Aquanaut's holiday
Being a bit of a contrarian, this author has always enjoyed deep-sea diving games.

News PlayStation Mobile's Last Ever Game Looks Pretty Rad
Oh, deer
We gave up covering PlayStation Mobile a few years ago, so we're part of the problem.

First Impressions How Much of an Improvement Is Final Fantasy XV Episode Duscae 2.0?
Bromance evolved
We live in strange times when a demo can get a hefty patch, but it's well worth downloading Episode Duscae's several gigabytes 2.0 update.

Those of a nervous disposition may want to look away now, as this trailer for PlayStation 4 horror SOMA is unsettling stuff.

News Japanese Sales Charts: The Witcher 3 Holds Its Ground as PS4 Sinks Deeper
Sigh
We're going to be honest here: we really can't pad this article out with any kind of flair. Once again, the Japanese charts make for some reasonably depressing reading, as the PlayStation 4's sales continue to drop. Last week, Sony's latest sold just 11,763 units, and only three PS4 titles made it into the top 20. You can compare the prior...

Review Super Exploding Zoo (PlayStation 4)
Baboom
Super Exploding Zoo, from Hohokum developer Honeyslug, should be a cute, light-hearted game: it's got cartoony animals, bright colours, and a peppy, happy soundtrack.

Bird on the brain
E3 simply wouldn't be the same without: a) Word of The Last Guardian's imminent re-announcement; b) Word of The Last Guardian's imminent cancellation. It's a testament to the brilliance of both ICO and Shadow of the Colossus that Fumito Ueda's bird-meets-boy escapade is still held in such high-esteem – it's been about eight years...
Talking Point How Can Sony Sell You on Project Morpheus at E3 2015?
Making virtual reality a reality
Assuming that Project Morpheus isn't delayed, it'll be on store shelves by the time that E3 2016 rolls around.

News This God of War III Remastered PS4 Theme Is Fit for a God
ATHENA! Good work on the wallpaper
God of War III Remastered may be looking a little light on the content front compared to Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, but Sony Santa Monica's new-gen re-release is at least promising a niftier theme.

Handling the handheld
There was a time when pre-E3 conversations about the PlayStation Vita carried a whiff of hope.

It did, ultimately, introduce a handful of big...

Time fillers
T'was the week before E3 and all around the web, nary a video game publisher dared raise its nervous head.

Shoryken use this pun again, Sammy?
We reckon that we could paint you a pretty accurate picture of what Sony's big E3 2015 press conference will look like next week, but it's all speculation until Shawn Layden takes to the stage and awkwardly confirms our suspicions. One game that always seemed certain for the show, of course, is Street Fighter V...

Weed killer
2014's Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare came as a bit of a surprise in that it was actually a much better game than many thought it would be.
