GamesCom 2013 BigFest Brings Music Festival Management to Vita
Big business, small bands
Assuming that you’re the type of person that loves to jabber on about unsigned indie bands rather than the latest Lady GaGa hit – it’s pretty good, by the way – BigFest should be your mug of homebrew. Leaked earlier in the year, and announced during the platform holder’s GamesCom press conference
GamesCom 2013 RIME Fuses All of Your Favourite Games in One Beautiful PS4 Sandbox
Sunshine and sand
GamesCom 2013 played host to a handful of truly tasty looking titles from Sony’s external development network, but Tequila Works’ gorgeous RIME totally stole the show. Still very much shrouded in mystery, the PlayStation 4 adventure looks like the outcome of an illicit threesome between ICO,
GamesCom 2013 So, Shadow of the Beast Is Making a Comeback
Altered beast
One of the more unexpected announcements during Sony’s big GamesCom 2013 press conference this week revolved around Heavy Spectrum’s reimagining of Shadow of the Beast. As a refresher for our younger readers, the original release was a side-scrolling brawler deployed almost 25 years ago on the Commodore Amiga. It was developed by...
GamesCom 2013 Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII Goes Overboard With CG Hair
How much does this cost
Square Enix has always been known for its love of CG cutscenes, but we think that the opening part of this new trailer for Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII might be taking things a touch too far. It's almost like moody heroine Lightning and gritty-rebooted Snow exist purely to show off their designer hairstyles, despite...
GamesCom 2013 Killzone: Mercenary Does It All for the Money
Pound land
Forget pride and honour – Killzone: Mercenary refuses to whip out its weapons for anything less than a suitcase stacked to the seams with cash. With the public beta already in operation, you’re probably too busy actually popping Helghast helmets to watch another trailer, but this does show off some of the more extravagant set-pieces...
GamesCom 2013 ResoGun Assaults Your Senses on PS4
Let your colours burn

GamesCom 2013 Batman: Arkham Origins' Firefly Trailer Sets Gotham Ablaze
Cooking with bat
How much action can you possibly cram into one trailer?

The new footage also introduces us to Firefly, a villain who's handy with a flamethrower...
GamesCom 2013 Murasaki Baby Takes PlayStation Vita by the Hand
Heart-shaped balloon
What do you get if you cross Tim Burton with Escape Plan and Limbo? It’s not a trick question, because it’s already been answered by Murasaki Baby for the PlayStation Vita. The title – the first of a collaboration with Italian developer Ovosonico – sees you guiding a homesick infant t
GamesCom 2013 Everybody's Gone to the Rapture on PS4
The end of the world as we know it
It wouldn’t be a PlayStation press conference without the debut of a title out of the ordinary, and Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture certainly filled that role during today’s GamesCom briefing. The first-person adventure – heading to the PlayStation 4 – promises to blend simple gameplay with a deep and...
GamesCom 2013 Helldivers Swoops onto PS4, PS3, and Vita Next Year
Your freedom is threatened

The trailer shows off a...
GamesCom 2013 Crash Around with Knack in this Cinematic Trailer
A knack for storytelling
PlayStation 4 launch title Knack's newest trailer focuses on the story and Pixar-like cinematics of the game, as we get our most in-depth look yet at the characters and events involved. Knack's deep voice is certainly something that we'll have to get used to, but it does look like the release will attempt to tell a charming...

GamesCom 2013 Delsin has the Power in this New inFAMOUS: Second Son Trailer
Rather stunning
Fresh from Sony's GamesCom conference comes this new inFAMOUS: Second Son trailer, that's full of cinematics and moody lighting. And the best part? You won't have to put up with the increasingly frustrating camera angles from the presser itself. The more we see of Delsin, the more that we think he's the kind of protagonist the...
GamesCom 2013 Velocity 2X Steps Out of the Ship on PS4 and Vita
Show thumb respect
Velocity Ultra already flirts with perfection on the PlayStation Vita, but Brighton-based developer FuturLab is hoping to take things to the next level with Velocity 2X on the PlayStation 4 and Vita. Announced mere moments ago during Sony’s big GamesCom press conference, the sequel promises plenty more o
GamesCom 2013 BioWare Entrust Us With A New Glimpse of Dragon Age: Inquisition

Of course, considering that this is coming from the same creative powerhouse as ICO and
News Thief Rises from 25th February on PS4 and PS3
Real steal
Say what you will about Square Enix, the company knows how to produce a decent trailer.

It may...

The title will now deploy on both of Sony’s flagship systems on 3rd September in North...

News Look Around the PlayStation Vita's Latest Firmware Update
Please ensure that you have your copybook at hand
We don’t know what your high school experience was like, but whenever our teachers couldn’t be bothered to do any work, we were always plonked in front of a video. Perched on uncomfortable stools, we'd be forced to watch low-budget documentaries, which almost always included really patronising...

News Lose Yourself in the Cold, Harsh Downpour of Rain
Thunder only happens when it's raining
Ever since we infiltrated the tanker in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, we’ve loved it when it rains in games.

Quashing concerns
The timing of this new Watch Dogs trailer is no coincidence.

News inFAMOUS: Second Son Brings Car Crash Entertainment to PS4
Smoke and mirrors
How will you recharge your smoke powers in inFAMOUS: Second Son?

Caped crusader
We already know that Killzone: Mercenary and Tearaway are set to be this year’s biggest PlayStation Vita games, but what of Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate?

News PS3 Exclusive Puppeteer Loses Its Head, Finds a New One
