Dread zeppelin

Grand Theft Auto games are appealing because they allow you to do things that you’d never be able to in real life – such as pilot a blimp. Should you pre-order the impending Grand Theft Auto V, you’ll be able to fly the Atomic zeppelin around Los Santos. Well, it sure beats getting caught in the rush hour traffic, doesn’t...

Pulling into view

Following this week’s teaser, EA Games has officially steered details regarding Need for Speed: Rivals online. The new racer – which is due out on 19th November on the PlayStation 3 and “later this year” on the PlayStation 4 – is in development at Ghost Games, the studio formerly known as EA Gothenburg. It’s

King of the jungle

With publishing giant Activision providing the marketing push behind Bungie's upcoming Destiny, it comes as no surprise that every piece of exposure from here on in is going to have some considerable clout behind it. The game's latest trailer is a mix of live action and CGI, starting off with a father telling his son about "the...

Acceptable in the eighties

If you didn’t already get your fill of throwback action in the brilliant Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, then publisher Ubisoft has the perfect add-on for you. The ‘Mark IV Style’ multiplayer assets pack – which is available from the PlayStation Store for the vanilla version of Far Cry 3 now – brings with it a whole...

Now that's gaming

We’ve never been a fan of compilation albums – but Sony’s impending Best of PlayStation Network, Vol. 1 is an anthology that we can get behind. The retail release – which will set you back just $39.99 – includes When Vikings Attack, Sound Shapes, Tokyo Jungle, and Fat Princess

Taking a leak

Everyone’s going barmy for the bathroom in this week’s European PlayStation Store update, as Men’s Room Mayhem bursts onto the PlayStation Vita. The pee ‘em up is joined by a whole host of hits that you won’t want to flush away, including Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, Resident Evil: Revelations, and, er, Fast & Furious:...

Sharp shootin'

This week’s North American PlayStation Store update has gone Ultimate Edition mad. Sony has collated a collection of digital bundles for a range of games, including Assassin’s Creed III, Far Cry 3, and Max Payne 3. Other new arrivals include Ratchet: Deadlocked, Call of Juarez: Gunsli

Single screenshot accelerates into sight

The floodgates have well and truly opened. Following last night’s Xbox One reveal, publishers are scrambling to announce their games – not just for Microsoft’s machine, but for Sony’s too. The new Need for Speed is the latest title to sort of join the party. The above screenshot popped up on the...

Beautiful firefights

Microsoft and EA may have embarked upon a secretive romance, but that's not stopping Battlefield 4 from targeting the PlayStation 4. The publisher officially confirmed the news earlier this evening, noting that more will be shown at E3. We've sort of known that the game's coming to Sony's next generat

Team Deathmatch in a new generation

Activision has released the first trailer for the impending Call of Duty: Ghosts. The sequel – now also confirmed for the PlayStation 4 – will run on a new engine, which has been designed to take advantage of the power of next generation hardware. As previously revealed, the title’s in development at...

Geth a load of this

Sackboy really is the ultimate cross-marketing opportunity, isn’t he? Sony has teamed up with EA to bring some brand new outfits based on the Mass Effect series to LittleBigPlanet – and the results are unsurprisingly adorable. The image above shows Wrex, Garrus, Liara, and, of course, Commander Shepard – the problem is,...

Marked man

Hot on the heels of last week’s desperately short Batman: Arkham Origins teaser, Warner Bros has released a full five minutes of CGI flavoured footage from the impending superhero epic. The trailer shows the Dark Knight battling Deathstroke, before turning its attention to new antagonist Black Mask. The publisher also released the...

Below par trek

If you're looking for an epic and exciting sci-fi setting filled with awful, often game breaking bugs – and you didn't already get your fill with Defiance – then Star Trek: The Video Game should be right up your alley. Not even the palpable hype from the impending movie, as well as the stellar cast, can save this generic action...

Shine so bright

There’s no stopping Deep Silver at the moment. The small publisher currently occupies the top two spots on the UK sales charts, with the likeable Metro: Last Light knocking Dead Island: Riptide into second. However, it wasn’t all good news for the 4A Games shooter, as despite rocketing to the summit, the title failed to outsell...

Warming up

If teaser trailers were getting a little too substantial for your tastes, then you should thank your lucky stars for social networking site Vine. Activision has deployed a full five seconds of the upcoming Call of Duty: Ghosts, showing off wireframe meshes and foliage. The full game will be revealed during Microsoft’s big Xbox event...

Team survival

There’s less than a month until The Last of Us stumbles onto store shelves, and while developer Naughty Dog has been quite forthcoming with the game’s single player campaign, it still hasn’t said anything about multiplayer. That’s set to change imminently, but while the developer is keeping a lid on the competitive extra for a...

Navigating the seven seas

You may not know this, but when not out risking life and limb battling bioterrorist attacks, B.S.A.A. operatives Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine enjoy nothing more than getting glammed up for fancy dress parties. The upcoming Resident Evil: Revelations will finally acknowledge that, by allowing you to kit out the...

Va va voom

If this week’s Gran Turismo 6 announcement didn’t shift your gears, then perhaps this extended trailer will do the job. The footage shows off a number of different vehicles racing around various circuits, including the newly added Silverstone. Just in case you think that it’s sacrilegious to view Polyphony Digital’s work in...

Ear candy

The Last of Us is not only shaping up to be a feast for the eyes, but also for the ears. Naughty Dog has continued its behind-the-scenes mini-series, this time pointing its camera at legendary composer Gustavo Santaolalla. In the video, the musician talks a little about his guitar teacher quitting when he was just a child – not because...
