News MLB: The Show Developer Leaves To Become Creative Director At EA Sports
Kolbe Launchbaugh may not be a household name like Hideo Kojima and Ken Levine, but he's still a person worth knowing
The developer's spent the past 15 years climbing the corporate ladder at SCEA, starting out as a lowly tester and later becoming a key figure in MLB: The Show's rise to prominence. Sadly, now he's leaving SCEA to take up a position...
News MLB 12: The Show To Support Cross-Platform Saves
If there's any genre that needs to take advantage of the PlayStation Vita's ability to share save data with the PlayStation 3, it's the sports genre
Just imagine being able to take your FIFA season on the go when you're out and about, and then upload it back to your PS3 when you're at home. In order for the functionality to take off, someone needs...
First Impressions ModNation Racers: Road Trip on PS Vita
ModNation Racers stole our hearts last summer
The Sony published "Play Create Share" kart racer was a real triumph, championing the best of Mario Kart and LittleBigPlanet in one tidy, well presented package. ModNation Racers: Road Trip sees the core ideas from last year's PlayStation 3 game shrunk down and repurposed for PlayStation Vita...

First Impressions Medieval Moves: Deadmund's Quest on PS3
Medieval Moves: Deadmund's Quest is Sports Champions
Make no mistake, this is a brand new PlayStation Move-exclusive title with its own characters and narrative, but at its core it's built upon the same fundamentals that developer Zindagi Games founded in last year's motion controlled sports compilation. Our demo opens in a vast training arena. It's...

Feature Overlooking The Depth In Sports Champions -- "Twiggy" The Push Square Opinionator
I've spent a good chunk of my week playing table-tennis
Don't be silly, I've not risked my life sharing the Youth Club's beaten down excuse for a table-tennis table with a group of hoods — I've been playing the sport in my living room via PlayStation Move. I've always been a fan of motion controls and, in particular, motion controlled sports...
Feature Five DLC Characters We'd Love To See Added To Sports Champions
Our biggest complaint with the excellent Sports Champions is that on a presentation level it's pretty flat
Let's be honest here, who is going to remember what Kenji and Giselle look like? Zindagi might have done an excellent job programming personality into the AI opponents, but their art team weren't on form designing the characters. That's fine,...
First Impressions Sports Champions on PlayStation 3
Admittedly, Sports Champions has about as much charm as a limp sock
But having got hands-on time with the compilation's table tennis game, we're not sure it matters. That's because PlayStation Move works; this is not a device playing on empty promises and faked lifestyle commercials - it does what Sony have always said it will: track your movements...
High Velocity Bowling has been on my Playstation 3's hard-drive for a long time
I think I bought it while it was in one of SCEE's ludicrously cheap sales. I played it for maybe five-minutes after purchase and then never touched it again. But yesterday was a Bank Holiday here in the UK - a.k.a. "Sit On Your Ass And Do Nothing For 12 Hours"...

News Dude Announced As MLB 10: The Show's Cover Star, He's Called Joe Mauer
Baseball is all about leggings and ripping off rounders, right? Still, we're told it's a big deal in the US, and not only that, Sony's exclusively developed MLB 10: The Show is supposed to be one of the best sports games available
Like, period. Thus, there's probably some excitement that Joe Mauer has been picked as the game's cover starlet this...
News Modnation Racers Trailer Continues To Make Us Giddy With Excitement
In all honesty Modnation Racers was one of our favourite things to come out of Sony's E3 press conference
The game just epitomises fun. It knows exactly what it is and never really strives for anything more than that. This latest trailer emphasises that. It seems like the game allows you to customise pretty much everything about your car and racer...
