It wasn't always sleek

The PlayStation Move Sharp Shooter is a serious bit of kit, but it didn't just come together overnight, as the latest PlayStation blog post explains.

Warning: causes arguments

It's easy to tell who's your enemy in Killzone 3 – the glowing red eyes and guns pointed at your face are a dead giveaway – but in real life it's not so simple. It's a good job, then, that Sony and Guerilla Games has created the Killzone 3 Know Your Enemies app for Facebook that aims to help you sort your friends from...

Soloing and goodbye

Shivers

If Killzone 2 could be faulted in any way, it was for its soul-less cast and contrived storyline. But basing assumptions on this two-minute Killzone 3 story trailer, we'd say Guerrilla Games has learned its lesson.

Controller is mouse and keyboard-friendly

One part of the gaming population may find the adjustment easier...
