Bullseye
You no longer have an excuse for not cleaning the dust off your latest expensive handheld purchase – Resistance: Burning Skies has finally arrived.

News Ubisoft Releases Twisted Far Cry 3 Teaser Trailer
Trippy
You should know the drill by now: no publisher is going to release a full trailer for its latest blockbuster on the eve of E3. Instead you’re getting to get short teasers and snippets of the kind of content you can expect to see next week. This Far Cry 3 teaser trailer is no different – it spends more of its time showing off press quotes...
News Snapshot Zooms onto PS3 and Vita This Fall
Trigger happy
Someone stop the flow of fresh Vita announcements, we’re worried there’s going to be a flood soon.

News WizOrb Breaks onto PlayStation Minis in June
Dungeon baller
So that’s what Arkanoid has been missing: fantasy elements. BeatShapers' latest PlayStation Mini WizOrb is not any old block buster, as it augments RPG mechanics and an 8-bit visual style. You’ll need to smash blocks to collect potions, save distressed damsels, and earn bags of gold coins. The game will cost you $3.99 in North...
News Leaked WWE '13 Trailer Slams Online
Live the revolution
The action depicted in this leaked WWE '13 trailer was clearly too intense to stay secret for long, hence its premature arrival on YouTube. The reveal for THQ’s next wrestling title is as raucous and acrobatic as you’d expect, featuring footage of favourites such as The Undertaker, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Mankind, among...
News Tomb Raider Teaser Trailer Sets the Scene
Mayday
Crystal Dynamics’ upcoming Tomb Raider reboot may have been pushed into 2013, but at least we’ll get another glimpse at the title in action during next month’s E3.

Thankfully, the PlayStation Blog has delivered, releasing the first gameplay footage of Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time on Sony’s shiny new handheld.
News Mad Riders Launch Trailer Pokes Fun at the Industry
It's a game with races
You’ve got to hand it to Techland: the studio has a great sense of humour. It’s released the launch trailer for its upcoming PSN racer Mad Riders, and it makes fun out of the entire industry. There’s even time for a parody of the studio’s own infamous Dead Island trailer – it’s brilliant. Watch the video below and...
News Learn About the Origins of the Dinobots in Fall of Cybertron
"Me Grimlock bash brains!"
How did the Dinobots get onto Cybertron? It’s a question we’ve been asking ourselves ever since the announcement of High Moon’s upcoming Transformers: Fall of Cybertron. It turns out not even brand overlord Hasbro has a canon origins story for the Dinobots – so High Moon decided to create one. In a nut-shell, the...
News Latest Dead or Alive 5 Trailer Clowns Around
Jest a minute
Team Ninja is clearly going all out with Dead or Alive 5. If you thought the game’s previous stages were a little bit bonkers, wait until you see its latest reveal.

News Live Action Metro: Last Light Trailer is Appropriately Dark
Lights out
Enjoying the sunshine and smiles that the warm weather brings?

Don’t worry, though, we have the perfect antidote for your ill-placed optimism. Embedded below is a live action trailer for...
News LittleBigPlanet Vita Trailer Sneaks Behind the Scenes
Killer app
The LittleBigPlanet franchise may have started life on the PlayStation 3, but it’s destined to find a home on Vita. The accessible nature of the do-it-yourself sandbox makes it an ideal fit for Sony’s new portable platform, not to mention all of the creative potential the system's innovative new inputs are certain to provide. It’s...

Phantom menace
It’s time to take a trip into the future, as Ubisoft has fired the launch trailer for Ghost Recon: Future Soldier online. The footage takes you on a tour of the tactical shooter’s features and modes, while throwing in the odd explosion to make sure you’re paying attention. You are paying attention, right?
News Watch This Smashing DiRT Showdown Trailer
Twisted metal
Ahead of tomorrow’s European launch, Codemasters has released the final trailer for its raucous spin-off DiRT Showdown. The video does a fairly good job of highlighting the title’s boisterous nature, focusing on fireworks, crashes and, well, more crashes. Looks ill as dope, innit? (Are we doing this right?)
News KickBeat Pirouettes onto PS Vita
Music combat
While martial arts and music don’t appear to have much in common, Zen Studios has found a way to connect the two disparate activities. Inspired by the heavily rhythmic choreography of old-school kung-fu movies, the developer has concocted KickBeat, a brand new music title developed exclusively for Vita. The game introduces familiar...
News LEGO Batman 2 Trailer Introduces Open World
Blocky
Yes, yes, we know: another LEGO game. But LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes is no average block buster, as it introduces an open world setting for the very first time. You’ll be able to scale the streets of Gotham City, solving crime as your favourite DC characters. It looks pretty neat, doesn’t it? We're still not sure about the voice...

Genesis 11:9
Ubisoft’s PlayStation Move powered God game Babel Rising is set to release on 13th June in Europe, the publisher has announced.

News DUST 514 Diary Details Cross-Platform Compatibility
Breaking barriers
DUST 514 is probably the most ambitious game announced for PlayStation 3 right now. The free-to-play title – which ties directly into hardcore PC MMO EVE Online – sees you forming allegiances with other players and fighting over meaningful locations in the game's universe. The title's ambition is so great that it’s hard to...
News Men in Black: Alien Crisis Invades PS3 This Week
Galaxy defenders
Those of you excited by the prospect of a third Men in Black movie might have a passing interest in Men in Black: Alien Crisis. The Activision-published PS3 spin-off puts you in the shoes of a new recruit in the MIB organisation and allows you to “live through an amazing story packed full of action”. The game features full...
News Dungeon Twister Swivels onto PS3
Twist and shout
We have to admit we’re a little bit disappointed with this launch trailer for Dungeon Twister. Upon learning that the title was based on a “popular board game”, we wrongly assumed that it would be about contortionists adopting unusual body positions in a fantasy setting. But no, it's nothing like that at all. In the game, two...
News Retro City Rampage Rolls Back the Clock on Vita
Flux capacitor
Sadly we’re not here to share a release date announcement for the upcoming PS3 and Vita throwback Retro City Rampage, but we do have a new gameplay trailer to sate your raging anticipation.

News Sorcery Launch Trailer Waves its Magic Wand
Wingardium leviosa
It’s been a long time in the making, but PlayStation Move’s most anticipated game Sorcery is finally set to apparate onto store shelves this week. Refreshingly for a motion controlled game, Sorcery’s launch trailer doesn't focus on make believe families pretending to have a good time. Instead it champions the game’s plot,...
News Spread the Chimeran Virus with Resistance: Burning Skies
Boost your XP
Resistance: Burning Skies may be the first fully featured first-person shooter to grace a handheld console, but the PlayStation Vita is capable of doing so much more.

After a short window of...
News 007 Legends Takes Off on 16th October
Moonraker
Of all the Bond movies to feature in upcoming nostalgia fest 007 Legends, developer Eurocom has opted for the most questionable of them all. The conclusion of this debut Skyfall movie trailer confirms the inclusion of Moonraker in the Activision published game, with a sneak peek at 007’s unforgettable gadgetry and pantomime villain Jaws...
News New Medal of Honor Warfighter Trailer Explodes Online
Firefight
EA’s released the brand new Medal of Honor Warfighter trailer which debuted during last night’s dramatic Champions League final. The footage shows a familiar mix of explosions, military chatter and gunfire. Not exactly original, but at least the graphics look hot. Medal of Honor Warfighter releases in October on PlayStation 3...
News Mad Riders Speeds onto PSN on 30th May
Price of a pizza
The 15 people that actually played Techland’s off-road racer Nail’d will tell you that, terrible name aside, it was pretty good fun. We were one of those 15 people, and we agree. The big problem with Nail’d was its delivery method and price. For a few pennies on the PlayStation Store it would have been a roaring success, but...
News Sharpen Your Wrist Action with Foosball 2012
Back of the net
Those of you paying attention back in March will recall us getting hot and sweaty over Grip Games’ upcoming PS3 and Vita table football simulator, Foosball 2012.

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. The video shows a book cabinet, massive reception area and a ping-pong table. These...
News Starhawk Diary Shows the Stresses of Shipping a Game
Blurry eyed
Lightbox Interactive’s debut project is a roaring success, as our Starhawk review has already established. But that’s only due to a valiant effort from its dedicated team.

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? Ahead of next week’s launch, Sony has released the final entry in its Sorcery developer diary, focusing on the design of the foes from the final game. Like the audio, the enemy design is based upon Celtic and Northern...
News New Black Ops II Trailer to Debut During Champions League
Wargasm
Call of Duty is too big for video game blogs and YouTube. These days the blockbuster franchise debuts during big sporting events such as the Champions League final. Never one to miss out on a marketing opportunity, Activision has announced that Call of Duty: Black Ops II's latest reveal will take place during the big Chelsea versus Bayern...
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
Naughty Dog is no stranger to dramatically tweaking the design of its characters before release. Elena Fisher, the Uncharted franchise’s leading lady, was a brunette at one point – but her character was eventually tweaked to reflect the features of actress Emily Rose. The Last of Us’ tween protagonist Ellie has gone through a...
News The Sky Turns Grey in New The Last of Us Cinematic
Trust your instincts

News Hitman: Sniper Challenge Launch Trailer Aims for the Head
Popping skulls
If the recently released Sniper Elite V2 isn’t doing enough to quell your desire for long range shootouts, you might want to turn your attention to Hitman: Sniper Challenge, available now for anyone that pre-orders a copy of the upcoming Hitman: Absolution. We love the idea of a standalone bonus being given away at the point of...
News PixelJunk 4am Launch Trailer Wiggles Online
Euphoria

Embedded below you’ll find the launch trailer for PixelJunk 4am, which is due for release on the PlayStation Network this week. The trailer shows Japanese musician and PixelJunk collaborator Baiyon looking serious as...
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. We thought this week’s sneaky screenshot would put an end to the leaks, but Unseen64 has followed up with a full environment trailer showing off the same urban setting glimpsed in the secret snap. The...
News Harley Quinn Struts into Batman: Arkham City
Payback's a... well, you know
Batman: Arkham City developer Rocksteady aims to follow up that ending later this month, when it unleashes Harley Quinn’s Revenge on the PlayStation Store. The single-player DLC – due out on 29th May – promises over two hours of gameplay featuring both the caped crusader and his inquisitive sidekick. Are you ready...
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. The studio confirmed earlier today that the upcoming Hitman: Absolution will finally hit the PS3 on 20th November. In addition, as previously rumoured, if you pre-order the stealth title, you’ll be able to...
