News Irrational's Going To Tell Us Exactly What Is Icarus Tonight
S'up
One question: What Is Icarus? Well, we don't know. Yet. The much anticipated project from Ken Levine's Irrational studio set to get blown out tonight at rougly 7:00PM BST. Naturally, we'll be there to watch the action unfold. What could it be folks? Rumours are hinting at something completely new, or the Darkness 2. Could be either, but given...

News DiRT 3 Gets Weather Effects, We're Singing In The Rain
Do you know what's better than DiRT 2? DiRT 2 in the rain, or, more efficiently, DiRT 3

News It'd Be Nice If Police Cars Actually Did Look Like This, Wouldn't It?
Admittedly we know about as much about cars as we do American Football
That is to say, not a lot. Still, while we're destined to get pulled up in the comments about our non-description of the above pictured car (we think it's a Dodge Viper?), we just want to say that we like the way it looks. In fact, we're pretty certain Need For Speed: Hot...
News Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood Diary Puts Ubisoft Employees In Ridiculous Robes
This Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood developer's diary is supposed to give the game's narrative some context
Unfortunately, all we could see was those ridiculous robes. Sniping aside, the game sounds fascinating, and we're actually super-stoked about the multiplayer components too. Sounds like it's going to be a great package. We can't wait.
News Sony Launches The PlayStation 3 In Brazil, Prices Are High, High, High
Roughly nine months after the PlayStation 2's launch in Brazil, Sony's officially brought the PlayStation 3 to the country

News Borderlands Gets New DLC This September, "Claptrap's New Robot Revolution"
It was nice of Gearbox to mention that there'd be even more Borderlands DLC
Assuming the third pack was the last, we eliminated Borderlands from our growing PlayStation 3 software tower a while ago. Wrong move, PushSquare. "Claptrap's New Robot Revolution" is due in September and will set you back roughly $10. The DLC will include 20 new...
News Let's Look At The 46 Games Confirmed To Support PlayStation Move In Some Way
With PlayStation Move just a month away, we've been amazed at just how much software support the device has been receiving
We always expected the practicality of the device and the simplistic nature of its implementation (be it optional, or required) would make for a strong software line-up, but we never imagined the catch would be quite so large...
News Oh Right, Yeah, Naughty Bear's Still A Video Game; Gets Free DLC
We'd almost forgotten about Naughty Bear
While we loved the game's concept, we found the reality of its gameplay sorely lacking. Sadly, we weren't the only ones drawn in by that initial batch of comical trailers. Plenty of you bought the game, and we suppose some of you want a bit more. Thankfully, A2M and 505 Games are going the right way about it...
News Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game Launch Trailer Should Be Enough To Push You Over The Edge

News So, Who Thought Brink Would Actually Have An Interesting Story?
We like a lot of what we've seen of Splash Damage's Brink, but the last thing we were expecting was an interesting narrative behind the first-person shooter
Apparently, we were very wrong to assume. It seems like the studio have gone some way towards setting up an interesting fiction. There's a utopia, floating city - the Ark. But it's over...
News Yakuza PSP Comes With A Cool Shaving Razor... No, Really, It Does!
If you're lucky enough to understand Japanese, you're probably going to be wanting the upcoming PSP Yakuza title, Black Panter: New Yakuza Chapter

First Impressions Mafia II on PlayStation 3 Demo
"Take out the fat guy," our partner declares as we point a sub-machine gun out of an upstairs window
Just moments earlier we'd been knocking back coca-cola while perusing a copy of Playboy magazine. Such is the life of a gangster. There's a good sense of place in Mafia II. Almost meticulously so. Take for example the afore-mentioned Playboy...

News Transform Your World With Carrot Top
This new Shaun White Skateboarding game actually looks pretty cool
The skateboarding video game genre's a hard one to get into. It was previously ruled by the Tony Hawk franchise, and now it's all about Skate. But Shaun White Skateboarding might have actually carved out a little niche for itself. The hook is that you're skating in a dank, drab and...
News There Are People Lending Their Voices For Fallout: New Vegas
While its safe to assume that the characters in Fallout: New Vegas will be about as animated as a desert rock, at least there's a bunch of "celebrity" talent being brought in to voice them
That might give the lifeless lumps of digital meat some character, right? (Sorry, we really did like Fallout 3 but, let's not pretend it didn't have issues.) A...
News Devil's Third Due Sometime Before April 2013
THQ's attached a loose date to Tomonobu Itagaki's latest game, Devil's Third

News Secret Batman: Arkham Asylum Map Shows Arkham City Was Under Our Noses All Along
Rocksteady must be having a good old laugh at the video games community

News Ninja Theory: "Never Say Never" To Heavenly Sword Sequel
After all the crying Ninja Theory's Tameem Antoniades has done about Heavenly Sword, we're surprised to hear him utter the words "never say never" in response to the possibility of a sequel
GameIndustry.biz were the ones asking him the question, which usually ends up with Tameem ranting about how the studio didn't profit from the game. Weve kind...
News Insomniac's Announcement Is Ready To Roll, But What Will It Be?
Whether it'll be a new Resistance or a new Ratchet & Clank, it seems like Insomniac's PlayStation 3 announcement is mere moments away

News Tumble Appears To Be Another Under-Rated Gem In PlayStation Move's Launch Line-Up
We recently posted about Echochrome II - the PlayStation Move controlled shadow-manipulation puzzle title - not getting the attention it deserved

Rumour Splinter Cell, Prince Of Persia Collections To Hit PlayStation 3?
Going by the branding on the Sly Cooper Collection's boxart, the "Classics HD" initiative (i
e. taking PS2 games, making them run at a slick frame-rate in upscaled 1080p and adding trophies) is a program Sony's likely to champion over the coming months. It seems like it might not be limited to first-party stuff either. Amazon France has mysteriously...

News What's This Killzone 3 Beta Site All About?
Most multiplayer shooter these days get a beta
While betas these days are used more for nifty promotional purposes, rather than genuine server stress tests — you can typically rest assured that there will be a window to try out an upcoming multiplayer shooter before release.

If you're still not sure whether you want to drop $9
99 / £7.99 on the latest Red Dead Redemption DLC, then Rockstar's sent us this little trailer to get you hyped. While the pack looks good, the price seems a smudge expensive for what it is. However, we still have plenty of goodwill aimed in Rockstar's direction because of the free co-op pack, so...
If Japanese developers have to start appealing to Western tastes, we hope they take a leaf out of Vanquish's book
