News People Can Fly Were Shocked By The Amount Of Swearing In Their Own Game
The air around People Can Fly's potty-mouthed shooter, Bulletstorm, was blue

News Gotham City Imposters Could Actually Be Pretty Cool
We were really cynical about Gotham City Imposters when it was first announced

News We Really Hope Dead Or Alive 5 Is As Cinematic As Its Trailer
Tecmo Koei's released the full version of its Tokyo Game Show Dead Or Alive 5 announcement trailer
And it's amazing. But we just don't believe it's real. The footage shows a straight forward one-on-one brawler with bonkers amounts destructibility. We like a bit of flash in our games, and if Tecmo can measure the pizazz against some genuinely...

News Sony Highlights The Importance Of Physical Media For PlayStation Vita
The PSPgo was an experiment
It came about at a time when players clamoured for digital media on their handheld platform. Such enthusiasm quickly vanished, and the PSPgo concluded a failed experiment.
