News Resident Evil 5 "Versus" DLC Is Delayed In Japan
Resident Evil 5 is getting some DLC that lets you play against each other
Why you'd want to bother playing competitively in a Resident Evil game, we've no idea. But the DLC is coming and will let you do just that. The "Versus" pack was due out this week in Japan, but obviously something has gone awry as it's now slated for a release on...
News Playstation Home Gets Really, Really Interesting... Xi Is Released
Playstation Home Xi has just launched
It's essentially an Alternate Reality game that takes place within the Playstation Home application. We've spent a few minutes with it and think it's absolutely brilliant.

Feature GDC '09: Sony Playstation Wishlist
We're not entirely sure how much will get announced at this years GDC
Usually the really big announcements are saved for E3, with smaller announcements at GDC. In 2007 Sony announced Playstation Home and LittleBigPlanet at GDC, as part of Sony's focus on "Game 3.0" — or community-focused, interactive gaming. This year we're not sure what...

News Watchmen: The End Is Nigh Part II Intends To Be More Of The Same
We thought the Watchmen game was alright but far, far too expensive
So if the planned followup ends up being more of the same, which apparently it will be, we hope Warner Bros. see sense and half the price. The follow-up sounds a bit fruitier than the first game, moving away from the "biker, gang thugs" back-drop and pitting you against...
Noby Noby Boy might be getting offline multiplayer
According to the official website anyway. The teaser image, which shows BOY declaring "I want to play Multi-BOY" could mean anything, after all, we were at loss describing the game for our review. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.
News Playfire Unveil Official Trophy Cards

Kudos to Guerilla Games
They've not only released the biggest game of the year so far in Killzone 2, but they also seem eager to make it a success. Every game launches with a few niggles. It depends how long those bugs take to get fixed as to whether the game will live too long after its release date. Killzone 2 v.1.2 is 16mb update which fixes the...
First Impressions Watchmen: The End Is Nigh on Playstation 3
There is much snobbery throughout the comic book universe that Watchmen shouldn't even be a movie, let alone a game
Thus, the development of the Watchmen game is one that has been viewed through the squinted eyes of the pretentious speech-bubble faithful. The team burdened with the responsibility, Deadline Games, have crafted a title of mixed...
