Smiles like sunshine

The sun has set on another work week, and like many of you, our attention is firmly focused on another weekend of gaming gluttony. To maintain tradition, we’ve caught up with a number of team members in order to learn what’s on their agenda over the next couple of days, but we’d love to know what’s keeping your consoles...

Crawling in the dark

The claustrophobic corridors of the Queen Zenobia will come to life next week, when Capcom deploys a demo for Resident Evil: Revelations onto the PlayStation Network. Starting from 14th May in North America, you’ll be able to get to get your greasy mitts on a high-definition Jill Valentine – and shoot out some undead blubber...

Fiery favourite

Drinkbox Studios’ brilliant Guacamelee! has proven that it’s hotter than chilli con carne, topping the PlayStation Network sales charts in both Europe and North America for the month of April. The side-scrolling brawler fought off a cavalcade of heavy-hitters in each region, including the likes of

Connected chaos

Grand Theft Auto V’s smartphone has competition. While last week’s previews revealed that Rockstar Games’ open world opus will include a portable dog and bone boasting a web browser and various social network apps, Ubisoft appears to have outdone the industry leader with Watch Dogs. Apparently, a sizeable chunk of the...

Legs like tree trunks

We’re pretty confident that you could see the thighs of Dragon’s Crown’s playable Amazon character from space. Her extraordinary muscles pave the way for plenty of power, as this brand new trailer demonstrates. In it, the partially undressed protagonist is shown tossing enemies into the air and dishing out a hearty...

Still work to be done

Sony gaffer Kaz Hirai has successfully steered the electronics giant back into the black. The company announced its first profit in five years earlier today, revealing a net income of ¥43 billion ($458 million). The figure certainly makes for pleasant reading compared to the enormous ¥456.7 billion ($4.6 billion) loss that...

Form an orderly queue

Sprinting around your living room kitted out in homemade N7 armour may make you feel like Commander Shepard, but you’ll need to splash out on this replica Paladin Pistol in order to truly complete the look. The snazzy hand-painted Mass Effect 3-themed accessory is available to pre-order now, and will set you back a whopping...

Silverstone the venue for exciting announcements

Sony’s gearing up for a big Gran Turismo event on 15th May. The celebration of the franchise’s 15th anniversary will take place at Silverstone in England, and will reveal secrets about the future of the simulation series. Considering the recent rumours regarding Gran Turismo 6, you can pretty...

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

Sony has announced that two of the greatest games of all time will be available for free as part of the European Instant Game Collection next month. The company has confirmed that PlayStation Plus subscribers will be able to download a complimentary copy of the ICO & Shadow of the Colossus HD Collection in...

Totally jammin'

Sony certainly isn’t messing around with its all-new indie push. The company has laced up its Super Hi-Tops and reached out to ToeJam & Earl creator Greg Johnson, whose new studio HumaNature is working on an original title named Doki-Doki Universe for the PlayStation 3, Vita, and PlayStation 4. Yeah, that’s a lot of...

Riding shotgun

Rockstar Games must have Grand Theft Auto V’s finish line firmly in its sights by now, and it appears to be celebrating with lots of new media. Hot on the heels of last week’s triple trailer, the developer has released a bunch of new vehicular-flavoured screenshots from its impending open world opus. You’ll be able to take the...

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...

Gives you wings

Whether its electricity or good old-fashioned gasoline that gets you going, Sony’s brand new North American PlayStation 3 hardware package should have you racing to your nearest store. Dubbed the ‘Legacy’ bundle, the $299.99 offering collates a 500GB PS3 Super Slim system with Gran Turismo 5 XL, inFAMOUS 2, and a 30-day...

Reboot assaulting store shelves soon

Wolfenstein: The New Order will re-imagine id’s first-person classic on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 later this year. Bethesda teased the title overnight, but has now officially confirmed the shooter. The release is in development at MachineGames, a studio comprising of ex-Starbreeze veterans. "We are...

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...

The force is strong with this one

Ever wondered who’s going to make Star Wars games now that LucasArts is no more? The answer is EA, as the North American firm has entered a multi-year arrangement with rights holder Disney to develop and publish titles for the “core gaming market” based on the uber-popular franchise. These releases will...
