News BioShock Infinite Introduces Motorized Patriot
Be afraid
BioShock had the Big Daddies. BioShock 2 had the Big Sisters. Thus it’s only natural that BioShock Infinite should have a fearless enemy type of its own. That part is to be played by the Motorized Patriot, a clockwork porcelain interpretation of George Washington armed with a Gatling gun and a haunting stare. You can learn more about the...
News Quantic Dream Debuts Incredible Kara Technology
Tear jerker
As promised yesterday, Quantic Dream has raised the curtain on its new engine technology, codenamed Kara. In an incredible short – similar to 2006’s The Casting demo – Quantic Dream introduces a cyborg named Kara, who’s assembled and checked before being taken apart due to showing unusual, emotional behaviour. Kara’s forced to...
News Dragon's Dogma Takes to the Skies
Literally
Capcom wasn’t joking when it cited Shadow of the Colossus as an inspiration for Dragon’s Dogma. Indeed, this new trailer for the action RPG shows a group of warriors battling a Drake – a kind of mini dragon – in midair. The trailer got us thinking: is it wise to stab and fatally wound something you’re flying upon? Isn’t there a...
News First Medal of Honor Warfighter Trailer Leaks
EA's next big shooter out 23rd October
We hope you’re not getting bored of modern military shooters dominating the Christmas sales charts, because EA’s Medal of Honor Warfighter looks set to continue the trend in 2012. This leaked trailer for the Danger Close developed title includes everything you’d expect it to: a lengthy monologue in a...
News Plastic Officially Announces Datura for PlayStation Move
Experimental narrative
As anticipated, Polish studio Plastic has lifted the lid on its curious PlayStation Move title, Datura. The game – which is set to release exclusively on the PlayStation Network later this year – promises to use Sony’s motion wand in an “innovative way”. Plastic’s Michal Staniszewski explained: Finding yourself in...
News Assassin's Creed III Reveal Trailer is Here
Deadly
After recent teasing Ubisoft's finally pulled the hood off its upcoming trilogy-closer Assassin's Creed III. You've probably already clicked the trailer below, and who can blame you? Assassin's Creed III is due for release this October.
News First Jet Set Radio Footage Skates Past
Slick
SEGA's posted the first trailer for its upcoming digital release of Dreamcast classic Jet Set Radio, and it looks... well, like a sharper version of Jet Set Radio. The trailer's got everything you'd want: Captain Onishima, skating, tagging and some of that awesome music too. Here's hoping the game's legendary soundtrack survives intact, though...
News MLB 12 The Show Trailer Highlights Motion Controls
It's in the game
In order to celebrate the release of MLB 12 The Show in North America this week, Sony’s released a new trailer showing off the game’s PlayStation Move integration. You’ll be able to play the full game using Sony’s motion wand, allowing you to pitch, bat and field using physical gestures. Jason Villa, the game’s producer,...
News Sleeping Dogs Trailer Sets the Scene
Sleeper hit?
Let’s not beat around the bush: Sleeping Dogs looks great. We’re big fans of the Yakuza series, and this looks like a Western developed version of that – just with more action and less karaoke. The plot centres on undercover agent Wei Shen, who’s been tasked with taking down the Sun Oh Yee triad from the inside. Catch the...
News Mass Effect 3 Launch Trailer Takes Off
Once more with feeling
EA’s dropped a brand new Mass Effect 3 trailer ahead of next week’s release. The footage is suitably epic, packed with shooting, dialogue snippets and sex scenes. Oh don’t act so surprised — this is Mass Effect after all. Catch the trailer below, and feel the bitter burn of hype. Who’s excited?
News Take a Trip Behind the Scenes with Journey
An epic voyage

In order to celebrate the game’s 13th March release date, the developer has posted a short video featuring new footage and a look at the title’s development from behind the scenes. Don’t worry folks, you haven't got long...
News SEGA and Arkedo Reveal Hell Yeah!
The rabbit is coming, you better start running
SEGA’s finally lifted the lid on its collaboration with Parisian developer Arkedo. As confirmed on IGN overnight, Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Rabbit is coming to PlayStation Network later this year. The game is about a rabbit prince who embarks on a bloody rampage when compromising photographs of him are...
News New Starhawk Trailer Highlights Strategy Influences
Build to kill
It’s only a matter of time before Starhawk’s brilliant “Build and Battle” mechanics get stolen. Lightbox Interactive has managed to succeed where so many other developers have failed: blend the accessibility of a third-person shooter with the depth of a real-time strategy game. It’s an extremely slick addition. There’s a...
News Ubisoft Discusses the Making of I Am Alive
Putting the project on life support
I Am Alive may have gone through several iterations since its original reveal way back at E3 2008, but it continues to intrigue despite the game’s clearly troubled development cycle. As big fans of survival horror, a lot of the mechanics Ubisoft Shanghai’s employed to create a tense and uncertain world...
News Saints Row: The Third Goes Twilight in New DLC
Edward you believe it?
When we were at high-school, the kid with ginger hair and pale skin was always the one that got laughed at. But since the emergence of the Twilight series – and more importantly, Edward Cullen – that same stereotype’s turned into the ultimate lady magnet. Nah, we don’t get it either, but apparently vampires are the new...
News Live Action Mass Effect 3 Trailer Debuts
Save us Shepard
This live action Mass Effect 3 trailer is largely what you’d expect; a cinematic soundtrack backs scenes of desperate families in tears as the Reapers arrive. There’s no need to worry though, because Commander Shepard’s on the scene. Come on – we don’t even need to play Mass Effect 3 to know everything will be ok. It will...
News Binary Domain Outlines Multiplayer Mechanisms
Being human helps
Contrary to common opinion, Binary Domain is not simply a single-player experience. The cyborg shooter also features a comprehensive multiplayer suite, as detailed by a new post published on the PlayStation Blog. The multiplayer features five different classes, each augmented with different skills and weapon loadouts. The choices...
News Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition Trailer Goes Behind the Scenes
Thunder only happens when it's raining
In anticipation for the release of next month’s Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition, Warner Bros has released a short trailer detailing some of the game’s features. The Komplete Edition bundles last year’s award winning reboot with all of its DLC. If you haven’t tried out NetherRealm’s latest Mortal Kombat...
News Meet Max Payne 3's Latest Death Dealer
Built like a tank
Rockstar’s used the “shove media down your throat” approach to its recent titles alarmingly well, but we get the feeling that when Max Payne 3 was delayed earlier in the year, the developer’s PR team was left scrambling for new footage to pad out the months until the game's new release. The team "brilliantly"...
News Assassin's Creed DLC Delves into the Mind of Subject 16
Clinically insane
Hands-up if you remember Subject 16 from Assassin’s Creed: Revelations? Hmm, not many of you. Let us give you another clue: he was the nut-job that kept pestering modern day protagonist Desmond. Yeah, that’s the one. Why is he important? Because he’s back. And no, not in Pog form, but as DLC accidentally outed by UK retailer...
News Fresh Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Gameplay Trailer Sprints Online
Miles Prower
The first gameplay footage of SEGA’s episodic downloadable, Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 2, has spin-dashed online. The trailer shows Sonic and his flame furred associate, Tails, sprinting through a series of distinctly SEGA-like environments, including funfairs, ruins and snowy mountains. Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 2 promises to...
News Binary Domain Turns Up the Melodrama
There's been a terrible mistake
Surely Binary Domain can’t get any campier? In the game’s latest trailer, a partially exposed robot learns about his mechanical internals via the reflection of an arrogant idiot's sunglasses. Bad times. He then goes on to get his head blasted in by about 15 pistol rounds, and his carcass transported away in a...
News Japanese Lollipop Chainsaw Trailer Makes Our Day
Yummy and juicy
The world might be infested with rot and madness, but none of that’s stopping Juliet Starling from donning her favourite bikini and going out zombie slaying. This Japanese trailer for upcoming Lollipop Chainsaw is as mad as you’d expect, with sparkles, inappropriate clothing and gore all at the centre of the footage. There’s...
News Borderlands 2 Release Dates Revealed
Loot 'em up
You’ve got a little over six months to get your OCD in check, as Gearbox has announced that compulsive looter Borderlands 2 is set to be unleashed on 18th September in North America and 21st September in Europe. While that date’s still some time away, Gearbox wants you to pledge your interest in the title early by rewarding all...
News Spec Ops Crosses the Finish Line on 26th June
Done and dusted
After an outrageously protracted development cycle, 2K Games has finally attached a release date to Spec Ops: The Line. The sandy shooter is due out on 26th June according to a new trailer released by the publisher, which we’ve handily embedded below. (Don’t say we don’t do anything for you.) 2K also confirmed pre-order bonuses...
News Unit 13 Gets Functional in New Trailer
Touch to toss grenades
The PlayStation Vita easily has the strongest launch line-up in history, but it’s not got every base covered. The lack of a real military shooter is one area where it fall shorts – but thankfully Zipper Interactive will be remedying that soon after release. Unit 13 might not be registering on many people’s radar, but...
News SEGA Serves Up New Virtua Tennis 4 Trailer
Down the line
The delayed guitar riff and soft voice over in this trailer might give you the impression that SEGA’s promoting life insurance or retirement homes, but it’s actually pimping soon-to-be-released PS Vita launch title, Virtua Tennis 4: World Tour Edition. The trailer’s a back to basics affair, focusing on all of the game’s core...
News Rayman Origins Vita Launch Trailer Hops Online
Bringing the whimsy
Rayman Origins dashes onto PlayStation Vita tomorrow, and in order to mark the release, Ubisoft’s dropped a brand new trailer online. The Michel Ancel directed platformer is currently the highest rated PlayStation Vita title available, commanding an impressive Metacritic score of 89. If you were planning on picking up the title...
News SSX Scales Antarctica in New Trailer
Snow cold
We're about to send a chill up your spine. It doesn’t matter if you’re sitting in a warm living room or office as you read this, the sight of SSX’s beautifully rendered snow should be enough to set your teeth chattering and goose bumps bulging. The game looks good though doesn’t it? It’s out next week.
News Developers Discuss PS Vita's Power and Performance
Uncharted territory
The PlayStation Vita is far and away the most powerful handheld device ever designed. It’s that power which sets it apart from its competitors, serving up PlayStation 3 level graphics as opposed to the capped visuals we’ve come to expect from handheld devices over the years. In this latest episode of Inside PS Vita,...
News Take Back Earth in Mass Effect 3
Our last hope
If you weren’t ready for Mass Effect 3 before, this gorgeous CG trailer should get you in the mood. It shows the Reapers arriving on Earth. Thankfully, Commander Shepard’s around to kick some tail. The game’s out next month. Who’s excited?
News Fresh Velocity Footage Teleports Online
Incredible
If our interview and exclusive wallpapers didn’t get you hyped for FuturLab’s upcoming PlayStation Mini, Velocity, then this lengthy gameplay trailer should. The game’s hook – aside from its retro arcade art-style and Joris de Man soundtrack – is the ability to teleport, which brings a brand new challenge to the traditional...
News Yakuza: Dead Souls Unwinds with Pachinko
Even the Yakuza need a break
The Yakuza franchise has always been stacked with goofy mini-games, and you’d be foolish to think that a zombie epidemic would break that trend. No, the upcoming Yakuza: Dead Souls will be packed to the brim with quirky distractions such as fishing, table-tennis and, erm, pachinko. And yes, for those curious, all of...
News Fresh Amazing Spider-Man Footage Swings Online
Web slinger
Spider-Man 2 is by far one of our favourite PlayStation 2 games. The open-world action title was phenomenally well polished compared to the production values of most other movie tie-ins, and so we’re hoping that Activision and Beenox’s upcoming The Amazing Spider-Man reboot can match up to the quality of its licensed predecessor. It...
News Mortal Kombat Vita Takes Gore on the Go
Finish him anywhere
We’re still finding PlayStation Vita trailers a little jarring. Take this latest Mortal Kombat footage released by publisher Warner Bros: it looks like a PlayStation 3 game. If it wasn’t for all the crazy augmented reality stuff – which is a neat addition to the fighter by the way – we’d still be struggling to remind...
News New Max Payne 3 Trailer Shares the Story
Time to rescue the girl
Max Payne 3 isn't far away, and gamers of a certain vintage no doubt hope that it can live up to the high standards set by Max Payne and Max Payne 2. With Rockstar Games producing this new entry, it'll be interesting to see how this third title will vary from its predecessors. One area where it's set to carry on as normal is...
News Get a Glimpse of Modern Warfare 3's Overwatch Map
Taking it to the rooftop
Skip past this trailer’s lousy attempt at humour and you’ll be rewarded with a first look at Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3’s latest DLC map. Dubbed Overwatch, the stage takes place in a construction site atop a New York skyscraper – which even the cynics have to admit sounds pretty neat. We’d love to give you a...
News Binary Domain Trailer Makes a Case for Native Voice Acting
Cringe worthy
The Yakuza franchise gets away with its daft dialogue and silly plotlines because SEGA doesn’t even bother hiring voice-actors anymore. (We’re ignoring Eliza Dushku’s turn in the original title for obvious reasons.) It’s a shame, then, that SEGA hasn’t extended the same faith to Binary Domain – a title developed by the...
News Explosive Far Cry 3 Trailer Hits the Web
Ahead of the curve
Ubisoft had originally planned to release its Far Cry 3 trailer tomorrow, but seeing as it was leaked earlier today it's made the smart decision to go with it 24 hours early. Feast your eyes on the footage below and let us know what you think of it in the comments section below.
News Naughty Dog Discusses the History of Jak & Daxter
Platforming perfection
Naughty Dog may have secured its name in the mainstream gaming community with Uncharted, but the developer’s been kicking out great products for decades now – dating all the way back to the original Crash Bandicoot on PSone. The Jak & Daxter trilogy – originally released on PS2 – is amongst some of the...
News Mad Riders Trailer Gets Dirty
Nail'd it
For all its faults, we rather enjoyed Techland’s Nail’d. The game did away with MotorStorm’s simulation aspects, opting for an off-road experience filled with massive air. And we mean massive air. Seriously, if you haven’t played the game, you can’t even comprehend how big some of the jumps in that title were. While Mad Riders...
News Uncharted: Golden Abyss Launch Trailer Climbs Online
Drake in your pocket
Up until now, our excitement for Uncharted: Golden Abyss has revolved around new hardware. Amidst the hype of OLED screens, rear touch panels and PS3-like graphics, we’d forgotten that there was an actual Uncharted game clamouring for our attention. But this trailer sends that message home. The game’s out on 22nd February...
News Take One Last Tour of the PlayStation Vita
Not long now
The PlayStation Vita unofficially launches in North America this week. We say “unofficially” because, well, even though the so-called First Edition Bundle is sanctioned by platform holder Sony, the system’s launch date will officially go down in history as February 22nd. It’s all a bit confusing, but the point is, Sony's eagerly...
News Binary Domain Takes the Fight Online
Connected chaos
We’re hopelessly excited for Binary Domain, we really are. But the online component’s pretty meaningless to us, and this trailer affirms our ambivalence. Sure the gun-play looks solid, the maps look cool and the game modes seem interesting; but is anyone really going to choose to play Binary Domain over Call of Duty or...
News Mass Effect 3 Trailer Proves FemShep Is the Only Way to Play
Sultry dialect
Mass Effect’s a good series if you play as the bog-standard bloke Shepard, but it’s even better when you open your eyes to FemShep. Lovingly named by fans of the franchise, FemShep is voiced by the wonderful Jennifer Hale, who brings new depth to the character beyond the rough and ready male alternative. Belatedly acknowledging...
News Lollipop Chainsaw Gets All Romantic
You don’t need a body to fall in love
Meet Juliet Starling and Nick Carlyle: high school darlings and prom couple royalty. Well, they were, until Nick totally got bitten by a zombie and Juliet was forced to chop off his head. Some might say it would be hard to hold onto a hot chick like Juliet without a body (chortle, chortle), but we reckon...
News Prove Your Skills with FIFA Street
Show off
While this FIFA Street trailer is supposed to highlight all of the game’s various game modes and rule-sets, we found ourselves unable to see past the vast array of tricks on display. We’ve never been to a street football match so we can’t commentate on what actually goes on, but having spent many years playing kick-about in the school...
News Battleship Trailer Teases Game of Movie of... Game?
We must go deeper
On the back of yesterday’s announcement, Activision’s offered a sneak peek at Double Helix’s upcoming Battleship movie tie-in. The game – which is based on the movie of the, erm, board game – promises to combine fist-pumping first-person action with traditional seek-and-find gameplay. This whole thing strikes us as...
News Grand Slam Tennis 2 Launch Trailer Smashes Online
Mac attack
With EA Sports' Grand Slam Tennis 2 due out on European store shelves this week, the publisher has served up an official launch trailer for the game highlighting all of its features and modes. There’s a mixture of classic and modern footage on show, in addition to a few seconds of Sharapova’s trademark screaming. Yeah, we could have...
News PS Vita's Free Augmented Reality Games Make a Splash
Dive in
Sony's uploaded a brand new video showing off two more of the PlayStation Vita’s augmented reality games. Both titles – alongside the previously demonstrated Table Football – will be available for free alongside the new handheld, and utilise the system’s various bundled marker cards. The two games on show are Fireworks and Cliff...
