"We hope to be wrapping things up with a bow."
We've gotten used to having an annual outing with Ratchet & Clank, how can you not adore the duo and their ridiculously over-powered weapons? Still, it looks like Ratchet & Clank: A Crack In Time really might spell closure for the franchise for a while. Speaking with CNN, Insomniac's creative...
News Modern Warfare 2 Classified An 18 By The BBFC
News just in that the BBFC have rated Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare 2 an 18
It goes one rating further than the already rather brutal Call Of Duty: World At War, and is perhaps an indication that Infinity Ward's trademark "in your face" moments will return in Modern Warfare 2. It's actually...
News Well Would You Look At That, The God Of War Collection Looks Pretty
That's totally not a screenshot from God Of War III in case you were wondering, nope, that's a screenshot from the God Of War Collection - Sony's new awesome blu-ray that includes copies of God Of War I & II
Epic. The game's not coming to Europe before Christmas, so you'll have to get your preorder on if you want it. Naturally, we ordered our...
News Taste Test: Fairytale Fights Themed Candy Is Frighteningly Sweet
When Playlogic sent us some Fairytale Fights themed candy through the mail this weekend, we didn't know what to think
Like the game, the candy endorsed with the stylistic Little Red Riding Hood looked rather sweet. But knowing what we know about the game, we expected a horrible surprise hidden within the sugary discs. Thankfully, our reward for...
News Tales Of Vesperia Sequel: Maybe?
At the Japanese launch for the theatrical release of Tales Of Vesperia: The First Strike in Japan, Namco Bandai's Makoto Yoshizumi claimed there was "strong internal desire" to create a follow-up to Playstation 3's Tales Of Vesperia
Alas, the franchise is far from over, with ideas already being brainstormed for a theatrical follow-up. We reckon:...
News Polyphony Digital's Kazunori Yamauchi Finally Breaks His Silence On Turn 10
Ever since E3, Turn 10 - developers of the Forza franchise - have been privy to talking down their competition, Gran Turismo
Call it disrespect, arrogance, or even just plain confidence in their product, no one is going to deny Forza 3 is a bad product. It's not, it's a great game. But the reputation of Turn 10 as developers left a sour taste in our...
News Calling All Cars Servers To Be Shut Down In January
Bummer if you still play David Jaffe's first title with Eat, Sleep, Play
, Calling All Cars. The servers are about to get closed down. Those playing the game have been greeted with the following ominous message:On January 14, 2010 the servers for Calling All Cars will be taken off-line. We would like to thank ya for yar...
Before the babies come and bombard the site with tales of how Playstation 3 software doesn't sell and the exclusives suck, let's have a moment of clarification: Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, one of the best games of the year, has debuted at number two in the British sales charts -- one spot behind Fifa 10, a game that was able to chart all week and was released on seven chartable platforms
So alas, we think that's a big well done to the strength of EA's game (we really liked it) and Naughty Dog's still relatively new exc...
News Playstation 3 & Wii Locked In Home Console Sales Supremacy Bout In Japan
Since the PS3 Slim released the PS3 has seen a steady sales boost that's now starting to level out
The Wii also recently saw its price cut in recent weeks. The result is a heated contest for supremacy in which the Playstation 3 managed to win this week by just 155 units. We're sure things are only going to get closer next week. The sales figures for...
I don't want to get into details about plot
I don't want to spoil things for those of you who haven't played Uncharted yet - although you really should be asking yourselves 'why not?'. I just want to say - right here, right now - for my weekly column, that Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is without doubt the best written video game of all time. I really...
News White Knight Chronicles Hits The US in February
Sony are really lining up a bumper year of exclusives next year
We predict they're gonna drop one exclusive for every month up to May — with MAG in January, White Knight Chronicles in February, God Of War III in March, and Gran Turismo 5 in April. Purely speculation on our part but — just you wait and see. Of course the news here is not our wild...
News Latest Heavy Rain Footage Literally Blows Our Mind With Potential
There are a few things that seem off in this Heavy Rain video designed for the Japanese audience
The Japanese voice acting sounds poor and the animation looks like it's yet to really be developed. But everything else about this game is currently brimming with clear potential. If you're yet to really follow Heavy Rain, sit down and watch this 9...

News God Of War Collection Trailer Gets Us All Totally Stoked For The God Of War Franchise Again
It's been very quiet on the God Of War front since E3
In fact, dare we say Sony's lead character - Kratos - had slipped to the background behind Nathan Drake and Ratchet. Alas, releasing the God Of War Collection in the US is probably the best piece of marketing Sony have ever done. Not only do they please their fans and bring newcomers into the...

News Microsoft Still Want To Talk About Sony & Their Sales Lead, Not Software
Seemingly given up on the ol' Nintendo platform way in the lead, Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg has come out of his shell to talk about XBOX 360 games - no, oh sorry - to talk about the Playstation again
Seemingly chuffed that they brought Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy to the XBOX to turn the 360 into a little green Playstation, Microsoft are back...
