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...

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.

Can you Adam and Eve it?

CCP Games has kicked off the beta registration process for its upcoming PS3 exclusive DUST 514.

Eve Online members will be given first priority, followed by attendees...

Making the jump?

If there’s one Xbox 360 exclusive that makes us green with envy, it’s RedLynx’s Trials Evolution. But with Ubisoft now in control of the Finnish developer, there’s every possibility that the title could hop onto Sony’s platforms. It’s a possibility that Ubisoft has noted itself. Speaking as part of an annual financial...

Sonic boom

With Sonic 4: Episode II on the cusp of release, SEGA has launched a brand new trailer showing off some of the sequences and stages from the final game. The word around the office is that resident SEGA fanboy James Newton has donned his Sonic the Hedgehog undies in preparation for the big release. Pretty weird, huh? Sonic 4: Episode II...

Euphoria

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...

First lady

The nebulous financial status of Awesomenauts publisher dtp Entertainment had called the viability of the title’s first DLC expansion into question, but it looks like developer Ronimo has been given the all clear. The studio has released a single shot of the first downloadable character, which looks a lot like a lady to us. The...

Dope

In pursuit

According to The Binding of Isaac creator Edmund McMillen, Sony wants to bring the controversial Roguelike to PSN “a lot”. The publisher’s interest was piqued when Nintendo publicly turned down an eShop release of the indie title earlier in the year. The game deals with the subject of religion and child abuse. McMillen refused to...

Clank you believe it?

The upcoming Ratchet & Clank Collection may boast three PS2 titles from Insomniac Games’ comical platforming franchise, but it doesn't include the full set. Indeed, the compilation is missing out on the co-operative Ratchet & Clank: Deadlocked, which launched relatively late in the PS2’s lifespan. Thankfully, while...

Land of the living
