News Gotham City Impostors Takes a Trip to Arkham Asylum
Dress up
For the record, this free new map for Gotham City Impostors doesn’t appear to have much to do with Rocksteady’s brilliant Batman: Arkham Asylum. Instead, it is simply a new location for people who think they’re Batman to shoot at people dressed as the Joker. Honestly, if you’re dressing like superheroes and it’s not fancy dress...
News Favourite Faces Return to Max Payne 3
Nostalgic names
Amongst the new faces (and haircuts) set to debut in the upcoming Max Payne 3, you might be craving the stability of something similar.

News Sony Coy About The Last Guardian E3 Showing
Believe
Of all the games Sony has to showcase at this year’s E3, Team ICO’s long in development The Last Guardian remains right at the top of our most wanted list.

As part of this week’s PlayStation Store...
News New DiRT Showdown Trailer Parties Hard
What does that even mean?
If you’re still not entirely sure what DiRT Showdown actually is, this trailer should set the scene. It’s got loud music, flashing lights and exaggerated American voiceovers.

News Sony Introduces the Sounds of Sorcery
Whimsical
Audio is one of the most underrated aspects of video games. When done well it's able to shape your mood, but, conversely, when poor it really sticks out. Thankfully, we don’t think Sony’s upcoming magical Move-powered adventure Sorcery will suffer from that problem because, based on the evidence of this brand new behind the scenes...
News Cool Down with Ghost Recon: Future Soldier's Arctic Strike DLC
Chill pill
Nowadays, developers don’t even bother to wait until their game has shipped before announcing DLC — take Ghost Recon: Future Soldier for example.

News New Sleeping Dogs Trailer Packs a Punch
Fight, fight, fight
Sleeping Dogs wouldn’t be an accurate Hong Kong adventure without a fist-fight or three. This brand new trailer shows off the game’s fighting mechanics – both technical and dirty. Sure the counters and combos look fine, but we’re not sure setting someone’s face on fire contributes towards a fair fight. The game...
News April NPD: Prototype 2 Tops, Industry Drops
Heller bad
Those of you with any kind of financial investment in the North American video game industry might want to point your browser towards a more positive place.

News Hitman: Absolution Steps Out of the Shadows on 20th November
Sniper Challenge free with pre-orders
It’s a good job Hitman protagonist Agent 47 can keep a secret better than developer IO Interactive.

In addition, as previously rumoured, if you pre-order the stealth title, you’ll be able to...

News Assassin's Creed III Goes Hunting in First Gameplay Trailer
Epic
Ubisoft has released the first gameplay footage of the upcoming Assassin’s Creed III.

And to be honest, we can’t blame you — this looks absolutely extraordinary. Assassin's Creed III...
News Ratchet & Clank: Deadlocked Shoots onto PSN
Clank you believe it?
The upcoming Ratchet & Clank Collection may boast three PS2 titles from Insomniac Games’ comical platforming franchise, but it doesn't include the full set. Indeed, the compilation is missing out on the co-operative Ratchet & Clank: Deadlocked, which launched relatively late in the PS2’s lifespan. Thankfully, while...

Swingin' Stan

Register your interest in the game at Amazon and you’ll snatch up the...

News Dragon's Dogma Fires Up Online Quests
Ur it
Capcom's upcoming Dragon's Dogma is a solo-only experience, but that doesn't mean it hasn't got intriguing online capabilities too.

Essentially multiple players and their parties can tackle the giant beast asynchronously, their attacks...
News Register Your Max Payne 3 Crew at Rebooted Rockstar Website
Team up
It’s true what they say: a problem shared is a problem halved.

While the game is still roughly a week away from release, Rockstar has updated its...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Vita Drops Below Wii
Golden weak
Golden Week did nothing to improve the PlayStation Vita’s fortunes in Japan. Following a minor resurgence last week, the system dropped back down to a familiar position of 10k units sold.

Hmm
Konami’s back with another baffling Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance live action teaser. This time the footage plays out from the perspective of protagonist Raiden’s, erm, eye.
