E3 2010 Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Takes Players To Vietnam
So, in what's totally not a knee-jerk reaction to the Call Of Duty: Black Ops' Vietnam setting, EA's announced a new expansion pack for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 which takes players to - you guessed it - Vietnam
We'll update you with details as soon as we get them. EA's also announced a new "Gun Club" service, designed to reward those who...
E3 2010 Sorry PlayStation 3 Owners, Microsoft's Locked Down Call Of Duty DLC
Do you know what's totally not a big announcement? Timed exclusive DLC
In fact, it's one of my personal pet-hates in this video game industry. A timed exclusive — for DLC. Really? Does that have any factor in purchasing intent. When it comes to Call Of Duty, the answer is, probably, yes. So it was with a wry smile Microsoft announced they have...

E3 2010 Gameloft Ready Major PlayStation 3 Announcement
Gameloft's been busy teasing and Tweeting that they're on the verge of making a major PlayStation 3 announcement today
No word on what the announcement might be yet, but given Gameloft's credentials we're going to guess it's something to do with the PlayStation Minis service. Perhaps they've got a whole onslaught of new Minis to release? Guess we'll...

E3 2010 Latest Shank Trailer Is Mad Stylish
Klei Entertainment's upcoming PSN beat 'em up, Shank, is looking every inch the high-profile downloadable
It's unique art-style, ostentatious humour and fantastic animation really have our interest piqued. It kinda looks like a 2D Devil May Cry, don't you think? Consider us stoked.
News Landit Bandit Brings Moonlander To The PlayStation Network
Indie developers The Bearded Ladies have a penchant for great names
Not only is their studio's identity brilliant, but the title of their upcoming PSN game, Landit Bandit, is also rather catchy. But what's it all about? It's a "casual helicopter adventure game" apparently. Of course. "Essentially it's Moonlander in 3D," the...

E3 2010 So, How Much Do You Like 16-Bit Brawlers?

Anyway, before we go off on a bigger tangent, check out Ubisoft's trailer for PSN title Scott Pilgrim vs The World. Then you'll see why we started...
Last year I had an email
Someone asked me, "if you had a job at SCEA, and you were in the planning room for Sony's E3 2010 press conference, how would you glue the event together?" In response, I wrote a pretty detailed opinionator breaking down the way in which I'd construct Sony's press conference, based on predictions already made. This...

News Sony Admit That The PSPgo Was A Bit Of An Experiment
Before the PSPgo everyone hated physical media and, in particularly, the UMD
"Why can't we have a download-only system?" they asked, "Why do we have to have this UMD format?" We were with those people, we wanted a smaller more portable disc-less system and we bought one. Sadly, ever since the PSPgo's come out the consumers...
News "Interdiction" DLC Brings New Maps & Game Types To MAG

Dylan Jobe's Lightbox Interactive studio is heavily rumoured to be working on a space-bound spiritual successor to the popular Warhawk franchise

Rumour Dead Space: Extraction Coming To The Playstation Network
Publishers wonder why Wii games don't sell very well
Presumably because they're considered as "downloadable quality" titles elsewhere. Haha - but Nintendo's "loss" (it's not really a loss is it, but it's a good link phrase) is our gain. Or something. That's right - those Dead Space: Extraction rumours are back. Sounds like the...
