News Silent Hill HD Collection Ported from Incomplete Code
Terrifying
Want to know something scary? No, it doesn’t involve Pyramid Head – in fact, it’s much scarier. See, Konami has confirmed that the recently released Silent Hill HD Collection was ported from incomplete code. Yeah, that’s pretty messed up, isn’t it? Senior producer Tomm Hulett revealed in an interview with 1UP that the Japanese...

Feature Round Table - What We Expect From Sony At E3
Time to bring it
So E3 is almost upon us. The LA extravaganza will no doubt bring all of the hype and big reveals that we’ve come to expect over the years, but what will we see from Sony? We’d expect a big push for Vita to kick-start the system, while PS3 still has plenty to offer. Sony has also stated it won’t be unveiling PS4, but will it...
News Leaked WWE '13 Trailer Slams Online
Live the revolution
The action depicted in this leaked WWE '13 trailer was clearly too intense to stay secret for long, hence its premature arrival on YouTube. The reveal for THQ’s next wrestling title is as raucous and acrobatic as you’d expect, featuring footage of favourites such as The Undertaker, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Mankind, among...
News Tomb Raider Teaser Trailer Sets the Scene
Mayday

News Mad Riders Launch Trailer Pokes Fun at the Industry
It's a game with races
You’ve got to hand it to Techland: the studio has a great sense of humour. It’s released the launch trailer for its upcoming PSN racer Mad Riders, and it makes fun out of the entire industry. There’s even time for a parody of the studio’s own infamous Dead Island trailer – it’s brilliant. Watch the video below and...
News Anarchy Reigns Release Date Unclear
Chaos ensues
Don’t ask Platinum Games when the upcoming Anarchy Reigns is set to release in North America and Europe – the developer doesn’t know. Despite being localised and ready to go, SEGA has switched the title’s Western release date to TBC. “That means to be confirmed, not to be cancelled,” the developer joked. SEGA’s yet to even...
News Demon's Souls Servers Avoid the Chop Once More
Incredible
The multiplayer servers for Demon's Souls were supposed to be plunged into darkness this month, but Atlus has managed to find a way to illuminate the cult classic’s online component for the foreseeable future.

News Inversion's Release Date Reversed Again
Upside down
Saber Interactive’s intriguing gravity-based shooter Inversion has been delayed until July. The game was originally scheduled for release on 5th June, but is now back on shaky ground.

There’s no...
News Learn About the Origins of the Dinobots in Fall of Cybertron
"Me Grimlock bash brains!"
How did the Dinobots get onto Cybertron? It’s a question we’ve been asking ourselves ever since the announcement of High Moon’s upcoming Transformers: Fall of Cybertron. It turns out not even brand overlord Hasbro has a canon origins story for the Dinobots – so High Moon decided to create one. In a nut-shell, the...

News Sony Patent Details Advert Delivery Mechanism for Games
Uh oh
We can already hear your blood pumping from the other end of the Internet.

Don’t worry, though, we have the perfect antidote for your ill-placed optimism. Embedded below is a live action trailer for...
News The Dragon Returns in New Konami Teaser
Lords of Shadow 2?
It’s probably not a coincidence that Konami’s launched a new splash page featuring distinctly Castlevania: Lords of Shadow artwork just days after rumours about its sequel emerged. The website – which shows little more than a door – teases that the “Dragon Returns” on 31st May. That just so happens to be the same day...

It’s time to take a trip into the future, as Ubisoft has fired the launch trailer for Ghost Recon: Future Soldier online.

News Watch This Smashing DiRT Showdown Trailer
Twisted metal
Ahead of tomorrow’s European launch, Codemasters has released the final trailer for its raucous spin-off DiRT Showdown. The video does a fairly good job of highlighting the title’s boisterous nature, focusing on fireworks, crashes and, well, more crashes. Looks ill as dope, innit? (Are we doing this right?)
News First Yakuza 5 Screenshots Swagger Online
So solid crew
A lot has changed since the conclusion of Yakuza 4. Series protagonist Kazuma Kiryu is now working as a taxi driver, while his adopted daughter Haruka Sawamura has gone in pursuit of her dreams.

News Japanese Sales Charts: Hardware Slump Continues
Difficult reading
Hardware sales continued to decrease in Japan this week. The Vita’s fortunes improved by a measly seven units, as it mustered a disastrous 6k sales for the second week running.

News Street Fighter Collector's Set Dragon Punches onto PS3
Shoryuken
Capcom may be complaining about genre cannibalism, but that’s not stopping the Japanese publisher from releasing another boxed Street Fighter product.

Sticks and stones
Can you see what you’ve done to poor Dante, you nasty lot? You should probably apologise for all those nasty things you’ve said.

Moving in a new direction
Subtract the upcoming God of War: Ascension and The Last of Us from the equation, and 2012 is looking like PS3’s most mainstream year yet.
