Rumour Entwined Trophies Tease Digital Download for PS4, PS3, and Vita
Weaved with love
While it’s always exciting to see trademarks leak out ahead of big conventions, it almost always culminates in some exaggerated expectations.

E3 2014 PlayStation and Xbox Executives Slay the Web with a Simple Embrace
This isn't how it's supposed to be
We thought that this industry was all about a war of words and exclusive games – not hugs and kisses prior to the biggest gaming convention of the year.

Despite what you may have heard

Fear the face
We weren’t expecting Project Morpheus to have a particularly big presence at this year’s E3 convention, but following the PlayStation 4 peripheral’s appearance on The Tonight Show in the United States, er, last night, we’re starting to change our opinion.

Feature What Will Sony Reveal for PS4, PS3, and Vita at E3 2014?
Predictions time
The best part about E3 is the build-up. While the announcements, trailers, and gameplay demos are undeniably exciting when they arrive, it’s that period prior to the big press conferences where the convention truly shines. Message boards are stuffed to the figurative brim with outlandish speculation, while officia
E3 2014 Loot Entertainment's Fluster Cluck Gets PS4 in a Flap
Are you chicken?
The bizarrely disjointed nature of Sony’s corporate structure is always a source of bemusement, but this PlayStation 4 exclusive produced by Loot Entertainment is a real head scratcher.

Off the rails
Everyone loves an underdog.

Review PlayStation Vita Pets (PlayStation Vita)
Watch dogs
Virtual pet games have got a bad name. We don’t mean the type of embarrassing monikers that you’re likely to overhear at a haughty dog breeder’s meeting, but more a downright abysmal track record when it comes to quality. Unsurprisingly, the House of Mario set the standard for portable animal interaction with Nintendogs on the...
