Rocksteady replaced by Warner Bros. Games Montreal
How do you make a relatively dull Tuesday afternoon suddenly seem interesting? You announce that Batman: Arkham Origins is coming to the PlayStation 3 on 25th October, and that veteran developer Rocksteady Studios is not at the helm. It may seem like we’re telling Riddler-esque tales, but that’s...

Preview Finding Our Sea Legs with Resident Evil: Revelations on PS3
High and dry
Handheld to console ports are a common symptom of the end of a generation; an opportunity for publishers to squeeze a few final pennies out of an established install base while the bulk of its workforce quietly turns its attention to impending hardware. Much like MotorStorm: Arctic Edge and Jak & Daxter: The Lost Frontier before it,...

Better, faster, stronger
We love our good old pal the PlayStation 3, but even we can acknowledge that the console is not without fault.

News Why Is PlayStation More Popular Than Xbox in Japan?
Keiji Inafune puts it down to brand loyalty
While the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 are more or less equals in most parts of the world, Microsoft’s machine struggles in Japan.

Review BioShock Infinite (PlayStation 3)
Queen Elizabeth
Columbia doesn’t feel all that familiar at first.

No Wei
Given publisher Square Enix’s volatile temperament at the moment, we’re more than a little concerned by some reports filtering out of Sleeping Dogs developer United Front Games.
