News Remaster Specialists Are Ready to Target the PS3 Next, And We Can't Wait
Ready those re-releases
There are so many great games, lost to time and locked to the PS3.

News 15 Years Ago, Square Enix Released the Most Divisive Final Fantasy Game
Fal'Cie fallacy; just you wait and l'Cie
On 9th March, 2010, publisher and developer Square Enix released Final Fantasy XIII for Western audiences, and we can still recall the incredible hype behind it. Gorgeous, a stunning showpiece for what the famously difficult to develop for PS3 could achieve, it introduced us to Lightning, perhaps the most...

"Is that an ancient Tibetan ritual dagger in your pocket?"
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is a phenomenal video game, which isn't a very controversial opinion to hold. It put the series, from Sony-owned first-party developer Naughty Dog, on the map in a way that the first game didn't quite manage, informing the stylish, cinematic direction of many of...

Random Divisive Dark Souls 2 Is Seeing a Resurgence and Some Revisionist History
Actually, we always thought it was good
Dark Souls II is something of an odd duck.

Jonesin' for your fix of that Limp Bizkit mix
Fallout New Vegas, the black sheep of the core Fallout franchise, is a wonderfully weird game.
