News XCOM: Enemy Unknown Diary Details Modernisation
Future proof
Look, we know this behind the scenes XCOM: Enemy Unknown developer diary is designed to detail the process developer Firaxis has taken updating the classic strategy franchise for a modern era – but we’re more interested in the studio’s office.

News Fearsome Creatures Conjured in Final Sorcery Diary
Medievil
Outstanding controls and engaging audio are all well and good, but what is the point of them without creatures to kill?

News First EX Troopers Trailer Looks... Awesome
Seriously
You could be forgiven for reading yesterday’s EX Troopers announcement with a cynical mindset. The Lost Planet franchise — upon which the spin-off is based — has never really lived up to its potential, and the details provided as part of the Famitsu report didn’t sound particularly engaging. But it turns out we just needed actual...
News Train Your Brain with Smart As on Vita
Smart as a ten year old
Smart As was one of those PlayStation Vita titles that seemed to fall off the radar. Originally announced in a system demo reel alongside Gravity Rush and Little Deviants, we assumed that the title’s absence at launch meant it had been cancelled. But that’s not the case, as Sony has just con
News Naughty Dog Explains Changes to Ellie in The Last of Us
Narrative context

News New DiRT Showdown Trailer Parties Hard
What does that even mean?
If you’re still not entirely sure what DiRT Showdown actually is, this trailer should set the scene. It’s got loud music, flashing lights and exaggerated American voiceovers. It’s essentially the game Codemasters has been itching to make for the past three years. Totally rad, dude. Cowabunga. Word. You can read our...
News Derrick the Deathfin Makes a Splash This Summer
Under the sea
PSN’s first papercraft title Derrick the Deathfin is set to swim onto the PSN this summer. The underwater escapade tells the tail of the titular aquatic adventurer as he searches for revenge “in an irreverent aquatic world full of paper, goofy fish, paper, arcade action, paper, wanton destruction, and paper”. We think there’s...
News Tag Your Screen with New Jet Set Radio Trailer
Dope
While the upcoming PSN port of Dreamcast favourite Jet Set Radio will primarily focus on familiar content, SEGA is adding a fresh layer of artwork to the classic. Sure, they're part of a user-created contest, but it's new content nonetheless. Scrub through the video below to see all of the new designs — and find yourself staggered by the...
News Sony Introduces the Sounds of Sorcery
Whimsical
Audio is one of the most underrated aspects of video games. When done well it's able to shape your mood, but, conversely, when poor it really sticks out. Thankfully, we don’t think Sony’s upcoming magical Move-powered adventure Sorcery will suffer from that problem because, based on the evidence of this brand new behind the scenes...
News Take a Peek at Beyond Good & Evil 2's Environment Tech
Paparazzi
For a game that’s been shrouded in secrecy for the past five years, people sure do suddenly know a lot about Beyond Good & Evil 2.

News New Sleeping Dogs Trailer Packs a Punch
Fight, fight, fight
Sleeping Dogs wouldn’t be an accurate Hong Kong adventure without a fist-fight or three. This brand new trailer shows off the game’s fighting mechanics – both technical and dirty. Sure the counters and combos look fine, but we’re not sure setting someone’s face on fire contributes towards a fair fight. The game...
News Hitman: Absolution Steps Out of the Shadows on 20th November
Sniper Challenge free with pre-orders
It’s a good job Hitman protagonist Agent 47 can keep a secret better than developer IO Interactive.

In addition, as previously rumoured, if you pre-order the stealth title, you’ll be able to...

In a gruesome scene, the...
News LightBox Interactive Confirms Free Map Packs for Starhawk
All of 'em
In an age where DLC is hidden on discs and you need to enter lengthy codes in order to access online multiplayer, the idea of complimentary map packs is an utterly baffling one. But that’s exactly what developer LightBox Interactive intends to offer with its brand new PS3 exclusive shooter Starhawk. We’ll let gaffer Dylan Jobe deliver...
News Sony Serves Up Enchanting Sorcery Story Trailer
Once upon a time
While it’s unlikely you’ll be purchasing the upcoming Move powered Sorcery for its narrative, plot does appear to be a big part of the motion controlled game.

News New Metal Gear Rising Teaser Looks Through Raiden's Eye
Hmm
Konami’s back with another baffling Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance live action teaser. This time the footage plays out from the perspective of protagonist Raiden’s, erm, eye.

News Posse Up for Max Payne 3 Multiplayer Trailer
So solid crew
It looks like Rockstar spent a long time playing Killzone 3 before designing Max Payne 3’s multiplayer component. The title’s narrative based game type, Gang Wars, sounds a lot like Killzone’s Operations mode, with dynamically changing objectives and cinematic cut-scenes punctuating the action. Thankfully, Max Payne 3 has a few...
News Dive into the Twisted Mind of Lollipop Chainsaw's Suda 51
Mad men
It takes a certain kind of genius to create a game as crazy as Lollipop Chainsaw, and this behind the scenes video does its best to expose that.

News Dead or Alive 5 Trailer Shows You Where Not to Have a Fight
Sparzone
Of all the places to engage in one-on-one combat, the middle of a warzone rates amongst the worse. This Dead or Alive 5 trailer proves as much by showcasing the potential hazards.

News Metal Gear Rising Teaser Gets Cryptic
Snake it right
This live-action Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance trailer has it all: blood, intrigue and injections. The teaser appears to show a man in military uniform being questioned and subsequently killed. Pretty brutally, we hasten to add. It concludes with the date 30th April. While our attention has certainly been piqued, this is far from a...
News Starhawk Takes You on a Trip to the Wild West
Space saloon
Lightbox Interactive’s upcoming PS3 exclusive Starhawk may primarily be a multiplayer focused affair, but the game will also boast a comprehensive single-player campaign to boot.

News Meet Lollipop Chainsaw's Starling Sisters
Co-Starlings
Warner Bros has released a brand new trailer introducing Juliet Starling’s zombie-slaying siblings in Lollipop Chainsaw. We'll be honest, if the footage has taught us anything, it’s that girls prefer guys when they’re just a head. Bear with us while we go and find the rickety old saw in our tools shed – we have a few, er,...
News 2K Fires New Spec Ops: The Line Multiplayer Footage Online
Sand master
At first glance, this Spec Ops: The Line multiplayer trailer looks frightfully familiar. We’re not going to deny that the eight-player class-based competitive combat looks fun, but we’ve seen it all before. Where the game’s online component finds an identity, however, is in its implementation of sand. Like the single-player...
