Sometimes we wake up in the middle of the night covered in a cold sweat, itching to play Resistance

News Gotham City Imposters Looks Surprisingly Rad
Ok, ok, so it's just a CGI trailer
But after some initial concerns, we're quite taken with the concept behind Monolith's upcoming downloadable squad-based shooter, Gotham City Imposters.

News Sony: 3D Can Enhance Experiences, But Only When Done Properly
With Sony so heavily invested in 3D content, you'd think they'd be pushing every visual media outlet to develop content in the extra dimension

Prototype 2 was the first to get a date, with the distant April 24th, 2012 being the target. Next up was Silicon Knights' X-Men Destiny, a game that, admittedly, we've seen very little of. That game's scored a September 27th release date. Finally, Activision...
News Bonus Content To Be Bundled With The Team ICO Collection

Included with new copies of the game will be a download voucher...

News Sony Initially Intended LittleBigPlanet To Be Free-To-Play
You can see the origins of a free-to-play game in LittleBigPlanet
The accessibility of the PlayStation Store within the game makes the package ripe for freemium potential, and when you factor in DLC content packs for costumes, stickers and materials it's easy to see how the title could adapt to that business model. In fact: that was the original...
Rumour Grasshopper Working On Cheerleader Zombie Slaying Game Called Lollipop Chainsaw [Updated]
Original story: If this rumour had any other developer's name attached to it, we'd call it rubbish
But this is a rumour for Grasshopper Manufacture's latest title; y'know, the Suda51 joint. That means it's hard to treat any rumours as nonsense — the crazier they are, the more likely they are to be true. Take Lollipop Chainsaw, the studio's latest...

News LOL: Sasha Grey Is Going To Be In Saints Row: The Third
Perfect
While we'd never have guessed that legendary pornstar (and serial knitter) Sasha Grey would make an appearance in THQ's upcoming trashy third-person action game, Saints Row: The Third, the casting makes too much sense. Grey will not play a porn-star in the game though — no, she will play one of two sisters that run the Syndicate's...

First Impressions Catherine on PlayStation 3 Demo
Video games can be quite immature
Even when they come attached with mature age ratings, the content inside can often feel like the opposite. Enormous guns, vats of gore and over-sized breasts are not necessarily indicative of what it means to be mature, in fact they are the antithesis. Few games capture the essence of adulthood. For all its faults,...
