You'll have to make do without Elizabeth for now

BioShock Infinite’s gigantic mechanical guardian doesn’t make the most obvious bedtime accessory, but Irrational Games is moving along with production on these Songbird plushies all the same. The stuffed toys are available for pre-order right now from the developer’s web store, where you’ll...

Not a dreadful start for Sony's niche demon slayer

Despite a slight slump in sales, Dead Island: Riptide maintained its position atop the UK sales charts this week, batting off NetherRealm Studios’ likeable brawler Injustice: Gods Among Us with a big stick. Steady seller Tomb Raider waited around in third, while FIFA 13 dribbled into fourth...

The force is strong with this one

Ever wondered who’s going to make Star Wars games now that LucasArts is no more? The answer is EA, as the North American firm has entered a multi-year arrangement with rights holder Disney to develop and publish titles for the “core gaming market” based on the uber-popular franchise. These releases will...

Death is all around us

The only thing more frightening than the clickers in The Last of Us is the threat of getting spoiled. Sadly, a bunch of details regarding the title’s conclusion have leaked online, making the web a minefield of secrets that we’d rather not hear. Fortunately, this video doesn’t delve into too many specifics, offering just...

What could they be, though?

Buried at the bottom of this weekend's European PlayStation Blog recap post is a hint at what the next seven days hold for Planet PlayStation. “We’ve a busy week in the offing,” teased blog manager Fred Dutton, “with some intriguing game announcements planned.” Sony’s made a habit of revealing high-profile...

Join in on the ditty

Put a lighter in the air, as Ubisoft would very much like to regale you with tales about Call of Juarez: Gunslinger’s protagonist Silas Greave. This brand new trailer features a smattering of footage from the impending downloadable shooter, but its real appeal is the campfire chorus blaring in the background. It almost makes...

Developer wants to encourage discussion

In an effort to avoid spoilers, developers will supposedly be able to restrict when and where you can use the PlayStation 4’s vaunted Share button. Speaking with Japanese publication 4gamer.net over the weekend, Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida explained that “there will be parts of a game...

Classic title in focus

Floating closely behind the ghoulish wisps of the original Fatal Frame, platform holder Sony has confirmed that sequel Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly will haunt the PlayStation Network in North America this week. The barebones PS2 Classic puts you in the shoes of a pair of twins who are investigating a haunted village...

Gee gee, baby

After being shut down last June due to a legal loophole, the PlayStation Store will finally reopen its doors for business on the PlayStation 3 in South Korea from 16th May. The service was originally closed due to a new legislation that made it illegal for users under the age of 18 to verify online accounts with their real name or age...

There's still time to get rid of your copy of The Simpsons: Hit and Run

GameStop will thump another nail into the now-defunct PlayStation 2's coffin on 1st June, as it ceases to accept trade-ins for the legendary console. Reddit user eGORapTure snapped the photograph embedded below, and Joystiq validated its authenticity with several North American...

Naturally, we're not revealing a thing

While many action and survival horror fans are patiently awaiting the release of Naughty Dog's upcoming title The Last of Us, it seems that some gamers simply couldn't resist exposing the end of the story. The demo version of the game, which was included with copies of God of War: Ascension, has been hacked to...

Sony's getting aggressive with its next generation console

It’s probably fair to say that the PlayStation 3 was dealt an unfortunate hand when it came to multiplatform games. The complex architecture of the console meant that most third-party studios struggled to get to grips with the machine, resulting in plenty of dodgy ports – especially in...

Spoiler alert

Of all of the new additions to the PlayStation 4, the Share button is perhaps the most important. The single input will allow you to instantly upload screenshots and videos from your favourite games – but much like the current PlayStation Vita, there will be restrictions attached to when you can use the functionality. “There...

Red means dead

The controller for the PlayStation 4 is rich with new features, but one of its more noticeable additions is the light bar plastered on the top. Similarly to the PlayStation Move, the illuminated streak can be used in conjunction with the new PlayStation Eye for enhanced motion tracking. But it can also provide realtime gameplay...

Small teams, big ideas

Sony is doubling down on indie game development. While the platform holder has no intention of shunning the multi-million dollar blockbusters that sit atop the sales charts every year, the company is eager to bring some diversity to its software catalogue. As such, the firm has partnered with a number of svelter studios in...

Slightly Mad Studios seeks additional investment

Ambitious Slightly Mad Studios-developed racing simulator Project CARS could be burning rubber on the PlayStation 4, assuming that the title crosses the finish line on a further lap of investment. Following a few hiccups regarding the legality of its community-driven funding model, the title is now...

Proudly adding to your backlog

Few would argue that PlayStation Plus represents great value for money, but have you ever stopped to consider just what a steal the service actually is. One dedicated Reddit user has collated all of the content from a full year of the premium tier, which included a whopping 68 free games in North America. That’s...

Will probably still stream Emmerdale, though

The PlayStation brand has always represented more than merely games. For example, the PSone’s disc-based technology felt futuristic at the time, while the DVD format owes much of its popularity to the PlayStation 2. As such, it’s pretty safe to assume that the PlayStation 4 will boast its fair share...

Pretty rubbish, we suspect

Who needs fancy PlayStation 3 visuals when you can enjoy Grand Theft Auto V in the retro setting of San Andreas now? One dedicated YouTube user has devoted the entirety of their week to producing the old school reimagining of this week’s ‘Michael’ trailer embedded below. It’s probably safe to say that some people...

Fighter also the focus of refreshed footage

Final countdown

Ratchet & Clank developer Insomniac Games will give you the opportunity to put its first multiformat project Fuse through its paces next week. Starting from 7th May, you’ll be able to download a demo for the title, which features single player, four-player, and split-screen co-op modes. You’ll have the chance to put all four...

Less is more

Not every game deserves a place upon your mantelpiece, but judging by the snippets that we’ve seen of Beyond: Two Souls, the Quantic Dream epic should look right at home next to your copy of Shadow of the Colossus. As such, you’re probably going to want to pre-order the game’s special edition, which is available now from UK...

Bigger and better

While the PlayStation 4 version of Ubisoft’s upcoming open world adventure Watch Dogs will essentially be the same as its PlayStation 3 counterpart, the publisher is hoping to push everything a little further on Sony’s next generation platform. Speaking as part of a video on the PlayStation Blog, senior producer Dominic Guay...

Devil in disguise

The mere suggestion of Soul Sacrifice selling its spirit to the PlayStation 4 in yesterday’s Talking Point pushed some posters into a Black Rite-esque fury. Their argument: the PlayStation Vita needs exclusive games if it is to reverse its current retail predicament. It’s a fair response – Sony’s flags
