News Binary Domain Cranks Up The Melodrama In Assassination Cut-Scene
A lot of the appeal of the Yakuza franchise is the manner in which it's retained its original voice-acting
(Well, aside from the game's expensive Western debut anyway.) As such, it's a little jarring watching a Nagoshi produced cut-scene with English voice actors — and let's be honest, judging by this cinematic, Binary Domain's don't appear to be...
News Resident Evil 6 Newbie Helena Harper Poses In New Screenshot
Meet Leon S
Kennedy's partner in crime-fighting: the delightfully alliterated, Helena Harper.

News Ubisoft: Next Assassin's Creed To Be The Biggest Yet
We dinged Assassin's Creed: Revelations a couple of points when we reviewed the game last year because it felt a little stale
Narratively it was still a worthwhile entry into the series, but for large parts of the game, it felt like we were going through the motions. Regardless, publisher Ubisoft is delighted with the title's performance at retail...

News Trademarks Hints At Another Dose Of Kane & Lynch
There were things that we liked about IO Interactive's Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days
The visual style, for one, was extremely impressive — and we're surprised it hasn't been aped yet. But for all the game's good looks and presentation trickery, Dog Days just wasn't that fun to play. It was short, predictable and flat. Developer IO really needs to...

News Darksiders II Gives You The Lowdown On, Erm, Death
We don't really understand the appeal of the Darksiders series
Make no mistake, the original was a fine game, but we're not really sure it's deserving of the praise that it gets. We think back to the game's art direction and want to cry. Ugliest game of the generation so far? We think so. It's probably fair to say, then, that we're not the biggest...
News Multiplayer Headed To Uncharted: Golden Abyss After All?
Many would argue that the Uncharted series doesn't need multiplayer
As such, no one's going to ding PlayStation Vita launch title, Uncharted: Golden Abyss, for not including some head-to-head action. That said, we're quite big on Uncharted's online action — especially in co-op — and we certainly wouldn't say no to some form of multiplayer mode...

CCP Games' upcoming PlayStation 3 exclusive shooter, DUST 514, is so ambitious that nobody really knows how to promote it

News Jack Buser Talks PlayStation First-Party, Goes On The Offensive
Sometimes it's refreshing when people say exactly what they're thinking
We're not sure it makes sense from a business point-of-view — sometimes you just have to bite your tongue — but it's certainly nice to hear some honesty from time-to-time. It's possible — just possible — that Sony's Jack Buser may have taken that honesty too far, though...

We can't decide whether the PlayStation 2 Classics label -- which launched on the North American PlayStation Store last year -- is a good thing or a bad thing
While it's great to get the opportunity to repurchase classic PlayStation 2 games, each new announcement is tarnished by thought that, "No, my favourite game is not going to get a full...
