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.

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...

Number one with a bullet

There’s still hope for the struggling UK games market after all, as Max Payne 3 has become the best selling new release of the year after beating out PC exclusive Diablo III by 8,000 units. The rebooted Rockstar shooter outsold Max Payne 2 by a ratio of 10:1, with PS3 enjoying a fair share of the sales. FIFA Street moved...

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.

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...

Persona leading the charge

It’s no secret that PlayStation Vita has been having a torrid time in Japan of late, but Sony is optimistic about the platform’s fortunes heading into June.

Vintage collection

No console is complete without a full compilation of SEGA classics, and so we’re pleased to report that the Japanese publisher is extending its Vintage Collection range for PSN next week. Headlining the additions (for us at least) is the arcade version of the brilliant Super Hang-On. Sadly it doesn’t come with a motorcycle for...

Celebrity deathmatch

Someone put a sock in inFamous 2 voice actor Eric Ladin’s mouth.

Moving in a new direction

Subtract the upcoming God of War: Ascension and The Last of Us from the equation, and 2012 is looking like PS3’s most mainstream year yet.

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...
