Get hype

If you’re anything like us, you’re still struggling to make it through PlayStation Vita’s massive launch line-up. But there’s more to come. Sony has announced that it is to stream an online event next Friday (9th March), which promises to play host to several new PlayStation Vita announcements. In addition to new games, there’ll...

At last

Kojima Productions has finally attached a more specific release date to its Zone of the Enders HD Collection for PlayStation 3. The title – which previously carried the vague “2012” release date – is now due out in the Autumn. Unfortunately, the window doesn’t extend to the previously announced PS Vita version of the same game. For...

There's no need for an escape plan

The sort-of sequel to popular Nintendo DS title, 999, is coming to PlayStation Vita later this year as Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward. The game – which is being localised by Aksys – will feature dual language support, meaning you can enjoy the title in English or Japanese. It’ll also boast multiple...

A real gem

Capcom’s announced a special edition for the European release of bonkers crossover brawler Street Fighter X Tekken. The package contains a copy of the game, an awesome arcade cabinet money box, 45 in-game gem power-ups, a prequel comic and an art book. The limited edition package is available to pre-order now from the usual retailers,...

You know you want to

Bad news for robots: Demiurge’s PlayStation Network shoot-a-thon, Shoot Many Robots, is set to arrive on the PlayStation Network on 13th March for $9.99. European robots will have an extra day to steel themselves for shutdown, when the Ubisoft published title arrives on 14th March overseas. Like its name so candidly suggests,...

Not the best subtitle

EA will release the next instalment in its Medal of Honor series in October. The publisher confirmed Medal of Honor Warfighter is on the way to PS3 later this year, with a full reveal expected at Game Developer Conference in early March. Medal of Honor's campaign was developed by Danger Close while multiplayer was handled by...

Finish the fight digitally

Mass Effect 3’s officially marking the transition into multiplatform series with a release day PlayStation Network release. Sony and BioWare’s announced that the upcoming sequel is available to pre-order from the PlayStation Store now. Plump up for the digital release and you’ll scoop the exclusive M55 Argus rifle...

Coin-op classic

THQ’s announced that an update of the legitimately brilliant arcade wrestling title, WWF WrestleFest, is headed to the PlayStation Network later this year. Renamed WWE WrestleFest, the update promises upgraded visuals, a contemporary fighter roster, multiplayer, downloadable content and Road to WrestleMania progression play...

12 additional characters on the cards

Capcom’s confirmed that the PlayStation Vita version of Street Fighter X Tekken won’t make it out alongside its PlayStation 3 counterpart next month, opting to wait in the sidelines until the Fall. Despite the delay, fans can look forward to a significantly boosted roster, with 12 additional characters...

Amen to that

The PlayStation Vita’s launch line-up is already bulging at the seams, but apparently there’s still room for a little one in the collection. Speaking on the PlayStation Blog, Bloober Team has revealed A-Men, a retro title that will sate your “cravings for tactical play”. The game’s inspired by retro titles such as Lemmings,...

Zero gravity

Memorable PlayStation 3 downloadable, StarDrone, is to make the jump onto PlayStation Vita next month with cross-game compatibility, exclusive levels and touch-screen controls. The handheld release — dubbed StarDrone Extreme — will allow you to share progress with the PlayStation 3 version, while also boasting unified leaderboards...

This is progress

Girl Fight is guaranteed to do gangbusters when it karate kicks the PlayStation Network in high-heels later this year. The Microprose (remember those guys?) and Kung Fu Factory developed arcade brawler promises, and we quote, “a unique all-female, fast-paced spin on arcade-style fighting games”. Sounds... awesome? Published by...

Burlapped

Sony’s finally popped the hood on “Play Create Share” racer, LittleBigPlanet Karting, after the title was leaked earlier in the week. Speaking on Twitter, the platform holder confirmed that the game is in development and that we should expect more information on the release soon. It’s still unclear who’s developing...

Neutrino speed is too slow

We wished we could teleport. Seriously, just think of the advantages: easily escaping the dull English weather for a day in the sun; never having to wait on a dingy train platform again; avoiding attacks from an intergalactic fleet of fierce foragers... Wait a minute. While teleportation might not be a reality in...

Killer wheels

You wait ten years for a new car combat title and then three come along at once. Joining Twisted Metal and Smash ‘N’ Survive is Gelid Games’ Wheels of Destruction: World Tour, an “arcade-style car combat shooter set in a post-apocalyptic Earth”. Gelid promises vehicular carnage across five of the “most dangerous” European...

You sunk my Battleship

It’s news to us, but apparently Milton Bradley’s classic guessing game, Battleship, is to be transformed into a blockbuster movie. Weird, right? Unsurprisingly, Activision has a video game tie-in planned. Silent Hill: Homecoming developer, Double Helix, has been dumped on development duties, and is promising to combine aspects of the board game with first-person shooter..

No sign of Kane & Lynch

Following reports that spilled out of Destination PlayStation last night, Square Enix has lifted the lid on Sleeping Dogs – the project formerly known as True Crime: Hong Kong. Those of you with strong memories will recall Activision publicly cancelling the United Front Games developed open-world adventure last year, only for it to get snapped up by Square Enix a few..

Box car racer

When rumours hit about a potential LittleBigPlanet Karting game overnight, we didn’t know what to think. We assumed United Front Games’ ModNation Racers had already covered Sony’s desire for a creation themed racer on the PlayStation 3, and, as such, weren’t expecting a second lap set in Sackboy’s make-do world. But that’s...

Pure and simple

After the enormous success of Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure last year, it's no surprise Activision is preparing more outings. The publisher just revealed Skylanders Giants today, and while it's compatible with all the toys from its predecessor it has a few tricks up its sleeve. For starters, the toys aren't just giant in name only:...
