First Impressions Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow on PS3 Demo
It struck us pretty early on, that we're going to be way more engrossed in Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow's story than its gameplay
From a narrative perspective, the game's cinematics and voice-acting are top-notch. Even the dark, European gothic style is inviting. But the gameplay doesn't quite live up to the presentation's precedent. The demo opens...
News LittleBigThen And LittleBigNow, Digital Foundry Investigates

News More PlayStation Classics Emerge, Mortal Kombat & Prince Of Persia To Support 3D
Perhaps one of the more divisive decisions this generation has been to remaster some of the PlayStation 2's classic titles for the PlayStation 3
We sit firmly on the "Love the idea" side of the fence, but not everyone agrees. We'd argue that improving the performance of classic PlayStation titles, while adding in new features such as 3D,...
News Ueda Aiming For Accessible Controls In The Last Guardian
Ueda's clear that The Last Guardian is not a "pet game"

Feature Overlooking The Depth In Sports Champions -- "Twiggy" The Push Square Opinionator
I've spent a good chunk of my week playing table-tennis
Don't be silly, I've not risked my life sharing the Youth Club's beaten down excuse for a table-tennis table with a group of hoods — I've been playing the sport in my living room via PlayStation Move. I've always been a fan of motion controls and, in particular, motion controlled sports...

Scott Probst, the game's multiplayer designer, explains in the invitation e-mail,...
First Impressions TV Superstars on PlayStation 3 Demo
TV Superstars is nothing if not unusual
The Studio Cambridge-developed PlayStation Move party game is clearly a parody of British celebrity culture. But its presentation is so bonkers it's hard to believe that anyone outside of the UK will understand it. At least we can say it's "unique". Our demo started with an introduction to TV...
News THQ Likes to Spend Less on Motion Games than Core Titles
Flagship games receive the lion's share
THQ is spending a fortune to ensure its upcoming games match up to output from the likes of über-spenders EA, Activision and Ubisoft, so it's naturally going to investigate the areas of smaller investment for larger return.

News Shaun White Skateboarding Actually Looks Really Rather Good
We can't get on with the Skate games
We appreciate why people enjoy the hardcore stick-flicking of EA's franchise, but we grew up with the Tony Hawk games, where you mash lots of buttons and watch your score multiply. Sadly, the Tony Hawk franchise is dead-dead-dead now. But we still do crave a bit of arcade skateboarding. Thank goodness for Shaun...
News Heartbreak: LittleBigPlanet 2 Delayed Into January 2011
What a difference a few short months can make
We write this news with a heavy heart and sadness behind our eyes. Even our plush Sackboy - whom sleeps in the office bed - doesn't look his usual jovial self this morning. That's because LittleBigPlanet 2's been officially delayed. The game was originally due for release in November, but Sony and Media...

News Sony Touts The Importance Of Buttons As An Input Device
Sony tried controller-less last generation
It didn't really work out. While the EyeToy was an interesting piece of tech, it hit a brick-wall when it came to most control decisions. The lack of tactile feedback in a controller-less device severely limits the number of things that can be achieved. Hence the direction taken with the PlayStation Move...

News Capcom Denies That They're Alienating PlayStation 3 Owners With Dead Rising 2
The first thing we thought when Capcom announced a second piece of XBOX 360 exclusive Dead Rising 2 content during TGS last week was, "Why?" Not why are they releasing the exclusive content, but why are they bothering to put the full game on the PlayStation 3 in the first place? They may aswell have kept the franchise an exclusive, as they don't seem fully committed to the PS3 at all
Sony fans are understandably felling pretty alienated now. But Capcom denies any wrong-doing. Co-producer Shinsaku...
News Microsoft Ask: "Who Needs Blu-ray?"
We ask: "Who needs HD-DVD?" Heyoh
Microsoft's PR department's been spewing ridiculous statements left right and centre this week. Normally we don't choose to report them because we're a PlayStation website and our opinion about the "competition" holds little weight. Who really cares what we think about Microsoft's games division? We're...

News Hey, If You Fancy More DeathSpank Then There's Some Free DLC On Offer
There's a DeathSpank sequel out this week
Yes, we appreciate it's only been a couple of months since the first game released. And no, we absolutely don't want to play the game. We'd had enough of DeathSpank before the end of the first one. Still, we appreciate that we're not the only people in this fine world, and that others might be excited by the...

News The Wait For Bioshock: Infinite Is Going To Be Long & Difficult
We were excited about Bioshock: Infinite the moment it got announced
The game's debut trailer was stunning. But nothing really prepared us for this 10 minute gameplay blow-out. Infinite looks distinctly Bioshock in gameplay, but the world and setting carries the same amazement as the initial encounters with Rapture. Columbia looks fascinating. From...
News Sony: LittleBigPlanet 2 Delay Is "Rumour And Speculation"
A French PlayStation 3 website left us shivering and lonely last night

News Shuhei Yoshida Thanks Microsoft For The Additional PlayStation Move Media Coverage
Shuhei Yoshida believes Sony and Microsoft's motion control war has been extremely beneficial to the PlayStation Move

News PushSquare Service Announcement: Firmware 3.50 Is Available Now
You know, we remember at time when PlayStation firmware updates included massive features

News Japanese PlayStation 3 Hardware Sales Surpass The Nintendo Wii For 2010
According to the number crunching monkeys at VG247, Sony's PlayStation 3 has passed the Nintendo Wii's hardware sales for 2010
After this week's MediaCreate report the PlayStation 3 had moved 1,017,094 units for the year-to-date, while the Wii's managed just 1,015,513. It actually puts the Nintendo Wii in a shaky position, as the XBOX 360 is poised...

Feature Five DLC Characters We'd Love To See Added To Sports Champions
Our biggest complaint with the excellent Sports Champions is that on a presentation level it's pretty flat
Let's be honest here, who is going to remember what Kenji and Giselle look like? Zindagi might have done an excellent job programming personality into the AI opponents, but their art team weren't on form designing the characters. That's fine,...
First Impressions The Shoot on PlayStation 3 Demo
We shoot the PlayStation Move into the ground, causing a ripple-effect which sends a horde of cardboard bandits flying
The Shoot is an obvious title to accompany the PlayStation Move's launch window; a rails-shooter which places you on a movie-set [The Shoot y'see, geddit? - Ed] armed to the teeth with weapons. For as obvious as the game seems, it's...
News Racket Sports Brings That Familiar Wii Aesthetic To The PlayStation 3
We're not sure if you know this about us, but we have a mega soft-spot for tennis-esque video games

News Sucker Punch: Move, Multiplayer & 3D All Being Considered For inFamous 2
inFamous 2 is going to be amazing based on the small snippets of the game we've seen

The PlayStation Move launch went better than I imagined

News LittleBigPlanet 2 First-Person Shooter Is Kind Of Ridiculous
You're not really supposed to capture video from the LittleBigPlanet 2 beta

News TGS 10: So Why Exactly Is The Yakuza Franchise Getting Zombies?
Traditionally, the Yakuza franchise is a fairly serious one
It typically deals with family, politics and friendships. There's some exaggeration to its narrative for sure (it's a video game!), but on the whole it's a pretty grounded franchise. Yakuza: Of The End introduces zombies, however. That's kind of unusual for a franchise so set in reality. So...
