    Outages uncommon as Sony keeps servers online

    Y'know, we considered whether we should post this, but we figured that the news doesn't always have to be negative.

    Over the two moons

    Life Is Strange may just be the best teen drama that John Green didn't write.

    A CoD Christmas

    Call of Duty: Black Ops III has breached the top of the UK sales charts, making it the sixth title in the series to secure the coveted Christmas number one spot.

    Bricks and mortar

    Square Enix must be rubbing its paws in anticipation of the release of Dragon Quest Builders in Japan next month, because Minecraft: PS Vita Edition's success in the nation has proven that there's a market for block busters in the East – the genre just needs a little old-school RPG brand power to take it to the next level...

  • Review Yakuza 5 (PS3)

    Gangster's paradise

    Should the long awaited Yakuza 5 prove to be the PlayStation 3's swan song, there couldn't be a more fitting release. Like the last-gen system itself, the latest instalment in SEGA's seedy soap opera is occasionally convoluted and slow to get started, but it's deeply entertaining all the same. It may have taken series protagonist...

    Not being sarlacc-stic

    If you're a Star Wars fan, you probably remember the Star Wars 1313 trailer – largely because it was excellent.

    After the madness of PlayStation Experience last week, this author was looking forward to a much quieter shift, and fortunately that's exactly what he got.

    Alright, excuses time. So, the North American PlayStation Store update was not only posted late this week, but it also happened to go live the same time this author booted up Yakuza 5 – and if you'd been waiting, like, three years to play the brawler, then you'd skip on the already delayed software selection, too.
