Upgrade incentives

With the PlayStation 4 now mere months away, it’s becoming increasingly obvious that its predecessor is not simply going to step aside. Sony has always done a stellar job of supporting its systems throughout the entirety of their ten year lifecycles, bu

Sinner's software

Deadly Premonition: The Director's Cut feels like a relic of the PlayStation 2 era, as if it was long forgotten and recently recovered from an old box within a developer's dusty archives. It's decidedly lo-fi, with a framerate that frequently sputters for dear life, regular pop-in, droning, repetitive sound effects, enemies that...

Demon's Souls also joining the fun

Dubstep makes it possible

Election campaigns are tedious, and developer Volition knows it. The world needs action, not another rousing speech – which is perhaps why Saints Row IV’s protagonist is the perfect fit for president. As opposed to empty promises and image enhancing drives, the character prefers to use his super powers for the good of...

No signs of life

Clearly intended to cash in on the overwhelming success of the TV show and the recent critical acclaim of Telltale Games’ excellent episodic adventure, The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct doesn’t so much as explode out of the gate, but, perhaps appropriately, shamble. The ‘plot’ revolves around the TV show’s troublesome...

Not a dreadful start for Sony's niche demon slayer

Despite a slight slump in sales, Dead Island: Riptide maintained its position atop the UK sales charts this week, batting off NetherRealm Studios’ likeable brawler Injustice: Gods Among Us with a big stick. Steady seller Tomb Raider waited around in third, while FIFA 13 dribbled into fourth...

What could they be, though?

Buried at the bottom of this weekend's European PlayStation Blog recap post is a hint at what the next seven days hold for Planet PlayStation. “We’ve a busy week in the offing,” teased blog manager Fred Dutton, “with some intriguing game announcements planned.” Sony’s made a habit of revealing high-profile...

Naturally, we're not revealing a thing

While many action and survival horror fans are patiently awaiting the release of Naughty Dog's upcoming title The Last of Us, it seems that some gamers simply couldn't resist exposing the end of the story. The demo version of the game, which was included with copies of God of War: Ascension, has been hacked to...
