Review Tales of Symphonia Chronicles (PlayStation 3)
Co-lette things lie
Tales of Symphonia is a classic JRPG from the GameCube era with a wide following, multiple (mostly Japanese) spin-offs, and now a well-deserved HD remaster. In addition to the underrated and underplayed gem, this new collection also contains the second game in the series, Dawn of the New World – although the primary reason for...
News The Battle Princess of Acadias Gets Her Hands Dirty on PSN
Cute side-scrolling action
While many titles on the PlayStation Vita offer pick-up-and-play action, this accessible format is a little less common on the PlayStation 3.

Review South Park: The Stick of Truth (PlayStation 3)
The Elder Trolls
Licensed video game adaptations are rarely the stuff of legend. Films are easily the worst offenders, as you could probably list the number of decent attempts on one hand – although television properties have played host to a selection of stinkers as well. As such, we were cautious when we first caught wind [Not that kind – Ed]...

News Not Everyone Will Appreciate the Importance of This Ultra Street Fighter IV Feature
Going through changes
Street Fighter can be a bit daunting. It’s easy to have fun mashing buttons and throwing fireballs, but once you delve a little deeper into the series, the discussion centres on frame counting and character balance. As such, we’re not entirely convinced everyone’s going to be able to appreciate Ultra Street Fighter IV’s...
Rumour Is This a Bird, Plane, or Watch Dogs Release Date?
Woof love
Ever since its delay late last year, Ubisoft has refrained from barking on about its PlayStation 4 escapade Watch Dogs. However, leaks on Sony’s website suggest that the release may be ready for ‘walkies’ again soon, as a new trailer and deploy date are supposedly imminent. And the platform holder has adde

Push Rewind Cruddy Castles, Cancelled Exclusives, and Reactionary Price Cuts
Horrid histories
This week may yet prove pivotal in the PlayStation 4’s battle against the Xbox One, as Microsoft reduced the price of its struggling new system in the UK. It’s too early to tell what impact the strategic adjustment will have, but with mega shooter Titanfall right around the corner, we suspect that the Redmond-based manufacturer...

Weirdness This Is the Closest Thing to Pokémon Snap You're Getting on PS3
Sorry, this one ain't safe for work

News Remember Destructive Racer Cel Damage? It's Coming to PS4, PS3, and Vita
Crash, bang, WTF?!
Some high-definition upgrades you can spot a mile off, but we don’t think that anyone was expecting cult Twisted Metal-esque car combat game Cel Damage to make the jump to Sony’s latest suite of systems. IGN reports that the former PlayStation 2 wreck-‘em-up will launch as a cross-buy title across the PlayStation 4,...

FIFA 14 on PS3 and Vita going cheap

Poll Is Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes Worth the Price on PS4?
Much more than a packet of cigs
Few franchises are big enough to fashion a furore out of demos, but Metal Gear Solid has always existed among the select few properties that can. When a clever Konami opted to bundle the opening moments of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty with new property Zone of the Enders, many purchased the latter just to see...
News Six PlayStation Hits Arrive in NA's March PlayStation Plus Refresh
Tomb Raider, Dead Nation, Thomas Was Alone, and more

Rumour Watch Dogs' Release Date to Be Decrypted Soon
Phone home
Ubisoft may have sucked the battery life out of upcoming open world adventure Watch Dogs by delaying the title out of its intended November 2013 release window, but the French publisher appears to be eager to rebuild the hype surrounding the once hotly anticipated PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 product. A handful of eagle eyed...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Sprints Out of the Blocks, Knack Thumps the Summit
Yakuza Ishin performs better on PS3
With popular publication Famitsu already releasing its own PlayStation 4 sales figures for Japan, this week’s Media Create chart isn’t as interesting as it perhaps could be. Nevertheless, the research firm reports that the next-gen system sold 309,154 units during its first two days on the market – a figure...
Who Would Win Wednesdays Wei Shen vs. Kazuma Kiryu
Round five
After last week's Who Would Win Wednesdays saw Kratos absolutely devastate Dante by the feature's biggest margin of victory yet, we thought that it would be best to reel in the fighters somewhat and have ourselves a duel between two mortals. As always, we'll provide a helpful dollop of information regarding the combatants, a poll where...
Store Update 25th February 2014 (North America)
Steal yourself
We’re going to assume that it’s not easy to rob the North American PlayStation Store, but if it was, you’d easily be able to fill a swag bag full of digital goods. In addition to PlayStation 4 sneak-‘em-up Thief, this week’s update brings Bomberman-esque multiplayer title Basement Crawl, arcade compilation Pac-Man Museum,...

Mobile Suit Fundam
Just when you thought that the Dynasty Warriors news couldn't get any better this year after publisher Tecmo Koei announced that Dynasty Warriors: Xtreme Legends Complete Edtion was heading West in April, the Japanese company goes ahead and throws a vague Summer release date at us for Shin Gundam Musou — or, as it'll be known in...
News Sorry Europe, You Won't Be Probing Any Bottoms in South Park: The Stick of Truth
Ubisoft cuts content from TV tie-in
A game based on controversial cartoon South Park was never going to toe the line, so it’s unsurprising to learn that South Park: The Stick of Truth has been censored in Europe. BT.com spotted a document suggesting that seven scenes had been removed from the title, which publisher Ubisoft has since confirmed. The...

Snapping up a boxed copy on...
Rumour Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes Star Appearing in New Mortal Kombat?
Finish him
It’s a good thing that 24 lead Kiefer Sutherland has plenty of practice playing Jack Bauer, because the actor may need to call upon his experience portraying the intrepid action hero in order to escape NetherRealm Studios’ in-house ninjas. Despite the developer being pretty silent since the release of superhero brawler Injustice: Gods...

Review Rambo: The Video Game (PlayStation 3)
It's over, Johnny
In an industry where fantastic, marketable games are cancelled all too often and publishers are desperate to make up for years of inflation, the most impressive thing about Rambo: The Video Game is that it exists at all. However, that probably has something to do with the fact that it cost about £30 to make. It’s not all bad...
Round Up Reviews Sneak into View for Thief on PS4
Robbed
It's been a long time coming, but the Thief franchise is finally back with this newest next-gen instalment. Once again plopping players into the shoes of master shadow-sneaker Garrett, publisher Square Enix has been hopeful that it'll nick the same glory that its predecessors did.

Block buster
The LEGO Movie Videogame capitalised on half-term this week, with flustered parents no doubt stumping up for the cinematic spin-off in order to keep their kids quiet during the seven day break from school.

News SEGA's Yakuza Series Started Life As a Gangster Inspired Gamble
Rolling the dice
While it may not get localised with much regularity anymore, the Yakuza franchise is one of the bigger brands in Japan at the time of writing. However, it took a big risk on SEGA’s part to reap those long-term rewards, as the series initially started life as little more than a good intentioned gamble on the legendary publisher’s...

Review Earth Defense Force 2025 (PlayStation 3)
Alien ant harm
The biggest bugs in Earth Defense Force 2025 are not the iconic silver-backed ants that grace its outrageously ostentatious box art. The latest entry in Sandlot’s cult co-operative shooter series is a technical disaster, running a gamut of performance blunders larger than its colossal robotic adversaries. However, franchise fans...

Soul sister

Somehow, developer From Software has managed to make its once masochistic franchise a bit of a blockbuster, and with...
Review Master Reboot (PlayStation 3)
On and off
An intriguing narrative and a clever setting can go a long way in a sci-fi adventure game, but it’s a difficult thing to pull off. As such, Master Reboot – a Myst-esque excursion by BAFTA Cymru award winning developer Wales Interactive – struggles to combine its great ideas into a compelling whole. The title comes close at times,...

PlayStation Plus has been around for an incredible four years now, but it’s only really hit its stride over the past twelve months or so.
