Pigsy was the worst character in Enslaved as far as we were concerned

Aside from some comical moments, he kinda broke the tone we'd grown to love about the game. That said, Enslaved was absolutely brilliant, so it's hard for us to be too down on the character's central role in the game's first slice of DLC. The DLC, entitled Pigsy's Perfect 10, will also include 3D support for the entirety of..

Enslaved and Heavenly Sword developer, Ninja Theory, has revealed on Twitter that they are staffing up for an "unannounced" title

The company detailed that they're looking for a new "lead designer" for the title. We'd like to think Enslaved did well enough to warrant a sequel. We did think it was really good to be honest. Ninja Theory are currently working on a Devil May Cry reboot for..

YES

The European PlayStation Blog's put a date on Time Crisis: Rising Storm, pitching the PlayStation Move compatible shooter for November 5th in the UK (3rd in mainland Europe). The impressive package boasts three different titles from the Time Crisis catalogue, including the titular Razing Storm, Time Crisis 4 and Deadstorm Pirates. There's also an first-person mode alongside the usual array of..

Demo coming next Wednesday

Fortunate North Americans are likely already shooting their way through Time Crisis: Razing Storm, Namco's collection of three shooters: Razing Storm, Time Crisis 4's arcade version and Deadstorm Pirates. Europeans will get the chance to try out the title in just two weeks, as the game launches across the continent in...

Demon's Souls is widely considered one of the hardest games ever made

Ever. This guy in Japan, "alternalw", finished the game in 54 minutes and 54 seconds. He's clearly mad, insane and a little bit genius. You can watch his entire playthrough on YouTube. Beware of spoilers. Beware of the insanity. We're going to have a lie down.

We loved Ninja Theory's Enslaved a ton, but bizarrely the game shipped without 5

1 surround sound support on the PlayStation 3. Joystiq reports that the issue is soon to be fixed, so anyone holding out on picking up a copy of Enslaved due to the less than optimal sound conditions might want to reconsider now. "[The update] will be ready around the same time as the paid DLC, which will be..

Back in 1985 Namco released a futuristic platforming title called Metro-Cross

The ESRB's now revealed that a successor to the classic running platformer has been rated for release on the PlayStation 3. Aero-Cross will more than likely launch as a PlayStation Network downloadable title. No word on dates or price.

Ninja Theory's boss Tameem Antoniades has revealed that the studio's new Devil May Cry sequel would not stop the studio tackling a follow-up to next week's Enslaved

"We've been growing into two teams for the last year," he told Eurogamer ahead of the studio's presentation at this years Eurogamer Expo, "We've got capacity to do two games." Anotoniades said that there were..

Enslaved's out soon, and with many publications slaving over their reviews for the main campaign, Ninja Theory's gaffer Tameem Antoniades has turned his attention to the games DLC

It's something he describes as an "entirely new experience" in an interview with Destructoid, explaining that it is not simply a case of a "few extra levels". According to Tameem, the additional..

And it all started with Ninja Theory's gaffer, Tameem Antoniades, reading a book

Years of development later - and the input of none other than Andy Serkis and Alex Garland - Enslaved's now a video game. A pretty bloody good one from what we've played too. This background videos probably interesting if you loved the demo, like we did.

Namco shooter on the way

Time Crisis: Razing Storm is packing a lot of heat into a single Blu-ray disc when it launches in North America on October 19th, as it features Time Crisis 4 (Arcade Version) and swashbuckling shooter Deadstorm Pirates. The package will naturally utilise the Move controller for precision shooting, although the Guncon 3 is...

Enslaved has literally shot to the top of our most-wanted list

The gameplay might feel a little automatic, but there's something about Ninja Theory's ability to create extremely cinematic experiences that has us hooked. We want to know what becomes of the lead characters Monkey and Trip. As such, the idea of a CGI movie accompaniment tempts us more than other franchises. Ninja Theory's boss Tameem..

Tekken's series director, Katsuhiro Harada, has confirmed Tekken Tag Tournament 2 during the Tokyo Game Show today

The game's set to hit arcades, but a console port will undoubtedly follow. The game involves Tekken and tagging. Namco's released a trailer but it seems all kinds of so-wrong-it's-right to us. Either way, we're properly stoked for this. We love ourselves some Tekken.

There's something weird about Project Dark, the next Demon's Souls-esque project coming out of From Software

Despite the game's exclusivity in Japan, it will be multiplatform in the West. As such, Sony will not be undertaking publishing duties worldwide (as it was assumed they might with Demon's Souls 2). Therefore, the game will not have the title "Demon's Souls" on it. Which is weird,..

The clock-hands are telling

It's late; we've finished writing for the day. But having tried out Enslaved: Odyssey To The West just moments ago, we had to get our thoughts down on digital paper. Ninja Theory's attempt at re-telling the classic Chinese novel "Journey To The West" has us hooked. It's been a while since we went into a game with so few expectations and came out with so many..

Gee -- Ninja Theory are taking some headlines today, aren't they? Their next title, Enslaved, will get a demo on the European PlayStation Store today

It's quite the stealth release, as we weren't expecting a demo so soon. Enslaved's been firmly on our radar for some time now, we look forward to seeing how the final game's shaped up.

Enslaved's collector's edition is fairly standard-fare stuff: you get a copy of the game, an artbook and the soundtrack

But that middle offering - the artbook - carries a little bit more weight when the source material is as pretty as Enslaved. We're stoked about the game — it honestly looks fantastic. We could have settled for an action figure of Trip in her "sexy robot" get-up though..

A lot like Time Crisis, actually

Destructoid's got a whole bunch of Time Crisis: Razing Storm screens. You can check the lot through here.</em>

Capcom's Yoshinori Ono and Namco's Katsuhiro Harada are at GamesCom to talk about their upcoming colloboration, Street Fighter X Tekken

While the focus of the presentation was to show European fans the same demo that was at Comic-Con, Harada also revealed some prototypes for the other cross-over game in development, Tekken X Street Fighter. Harada stressed that the 3D model of Ryu was far from..
