News Buying PS Plus Subs on PS3, PS Vita Won't Be an Option When Service Re-Launches in June
Just so you know
While we doubt that there are many people in 2022 using a PS3 or PS Vita as their main PlayStation console, it's still worth pointing out that Sony has updated its policy with regards to the all-but-defunct devices. Following its reveal of the new PS Plus tier system earlier in the week, the company has confirmed that when the...

And one of the most enduring components of...
News Timeless PS3 Title Journey Is 10 Years Old Today
Into the light
Ten years ago today, on the 13th March 2012, a little game called Journey went a long way in changing our perception of 'smaller' video games.

News Sony Pulling the Plug on PS3 After-Sales Support in Japan
Game over
It’s hardly earth-shattering news, but the PlayStation 3 is old – like, really old. The console launched all the way back in 2006, so it’s perhaps no surprise Sony is pulling the plug on support for the system and its peripherals – in Japan, at least. Writing on its official Twitter account, the organisation “sincerely...

News Boba Fett Features in New Footage of the Cancelled Star Wars 1313
No good to us dead
Star Wars 1313 is a bit of a sore spot for many a fan of the galaxy far, far away, and understandably so. It looked like a very promising action adventure title from EA, but as we all know, the project was ultimately cancelled. We've had some great Star Wars games in the years since, but we can't help but wonder about what...
News PS4 Trophies Bugged Out with PS3 Labels and People Are Jumping to Conclusions Again
It was just a glitch
As the ol’ saying goes: aw sh*t, here we go again! Following a tepid – and totally unrelated – “tease” from PlayStation Japan’s social media account over the weekend, the whole backwards compatibility song-and-dance has once again been restarted by a PS Store bug. Some fans noticed overnight that their PlayStation 4...
As easy as 1, 2, 3
Update: Just as we warned, it really wasn't worth getting excited over the PlayStation Japan tease — not unless you're a massive fan of popstar Kenshi Yonezu. The now infamous tweet was indeed teasing a new Japanese PlayStation advert — but it has absolutely nothing to do with backwards compatibility. The numbers 1, 2, and 3...

Video Why Skyrim Is Still the Ultimate Open World Fantasy RPG, 10 Years Later
House of the Dragon
Some games come and go, but rarely does one come along and have such a cultural impact that players are still talking about it a decade on.

Dragonborn for this
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is officially ten years old. How time flies, eh? The open world role-playing game first released for the PlayStation 3 on the 11th November, 2011 — and boy was it a mess. Skyrim ran extremely poorly on Sony's old console — even after it had received a boatload of updates — but its poor technical...

News PS3, PS Vita to Remove PS Store Payment Methods
You'll need to top-up your wallet elsewhere

It was a project that had people seriously hyped for years — especially when it was officially revealed in...

Each PlayStation startup sound has defined a generation, so it’s bizarre to see them performed acapella by YouTube group Maytree.
