Queen Elizabeth

Columbia doesn’t feel all that familiar at first. Zachary Hale Comstock’s secluded slice of Americana promptly presents itself as a sunbaked tapestry of carnival attractions and hallowed gardens; a blue skied paradise basking in the ideals of a prophet bold enough to secede from the sodom of the corruption lurking below, and set...

Malicious, Labyrinth Legends, and more up for grabs

From Software’s devilish Demon’s Souls will be available for free for North American PlayStation Plus subscribers from later today. The title – which ordinarily retails for $19.99 – will have you tossing your DualShock 3 around the house for the grand sum of nothing. Fortunately, for those...

Extended commercial includes new footage

Who says that Sony doesn’t advertise its games? The Last of Us may not be due out until 14th June, but the platform holder’s already started promoting the upcoming PlayStation 3 exclusive, debuting parts of this ‘Red Band’ trailer during the season finale of The Walking Dead overnight. It largely...

Looks like you kindly bought it

Irrational Games’ stunning first-person adventure BioShock Infinite has ascended straight to the summit of the UK sales charts, trouncing its predecessor’s tally by a substantial 9,000 units in the process. While the release shot straight to the top, it couldn’t unsettle Tomb Raider’s record, with Lara Croft...

Platform holder files trademark for mysterious title

It looks like Sony is working on a brand new game called Destiny of Spirits. The platform holder recently filed a trademark for the secretive release, which was picked up by the eagle-eyed folks over at GameSpot. The registration covers “video game software”, and was submitted by the...

European offers roll on

Sony’s celebrating Easter Sunday with an outrageous discount on PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. Starting from now until 11:59AM BST on 2nd April, you’ll be able to purchase the excellent mascot mash-up at the low price of £15.99/€19.99 from the European PlayStation Store. Remember: the game is part of the platform...

Hidden treats cracked open

Video game Easter Eggs may not be made of chocolate like their real world counterparts, but there are still plenty of tasty treats concealed within the world of PlayStation. In order to celebrate the impending spring weather (oh, please let it arrive), we’ve hopped through our archives like a new born bunny to bring...

Eggstremely eggciting

With another two weeks lost to the ever moving hands of time, we’ve grudgingly put our chocolate eggs to the side in order to bring you a sneak peak at our gaming itinerary for the extended Easter weekend. But, as you should already be aware, this isn’t all about us – we want to know what will be drawing your attention...

You'll kick yourself

David Cage’s vocabulary revolves around one word: emotion. Listen to any interview or seminar with the Quantic Dream founder, and you won’t have to wait long to hear the poignant term. As such, it’s little wonder that the studio behind games such as Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls has a poster wearing the words...

Hideo Kojima opens up

Legendary voice actor David Hayter will not be reprising his role as Solid Snake (or Big Boss) in Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain because creator Hideo Kojima wants the upcoming adventure to be a “new type” of Metal Gear experience. “It will be a new person, I can’t say who yet,” the luminary said in an...

True treasure

Sony’s enormous European Easter Egg Hunt is rolling on today with an enormous discount on Crystal Dynamics' ace Tomb Raider reboot. Starting from now until 11:59AM BST on 31st March, you’ll be able to pillage Lara Croft’s latest adventure for just £19.99/€29.99 from the PlayStation Store. That’s a huge discount over the...

Feast your eyes on some character models

Bungie’s reluctance to share actual gameplay footage of its upcoming PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 title Destiny continues with this ‘character development’ video. The short – which was shown during a GDC presentation overnight – introduces three of the character classes from the first-person...

No Wei

Given publisher Square Enix’s volatile temperament at the moment, we’re more than a little concerned by some reports filtering out of Sleeping Dogs developer United Front Games. Apparently, the Canadian studio has been struck by a round of layoffs, following the cancellation of an "action adventure" game. Seasoned snoop Superannuation...

Relight the fire

As far as teaser trailers go, this one for Square Enix’s next generation Thief reboot is particularly sly. It shows a candle being put out by a daring hand, and promises more details – including a proper video, we hope – on 2nd April. We’re sure that the copious amounts of chocolate you’re set to scoff over the weekend...

Apparently, he wasn't even asked

David Hayter, better known as the voice of Solid Snake and Big Boss, will not be returning to lend his larynx to whoever that is in Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain. The popular performer confirmed the news on Twitter, telling disappointed fans that he had a “good run” as the character. Yeah, we’re welling...

Doing things differently

Wrapped in bandages like his fake accomplice Joakim Mogren, slightly bonkers video game luminary Hideo Kojima confirmed during his GDC 2013 keynote earlier today that The Phantom Pain and Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes are actually, well,

Sony's system is sailing away

Strong sales for One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2 boosted the PlayStation Vita back up the Japanese hardware charts this week. While the system was still handily outsold by the Nintendo 3DS, the portable’s tally surged from 36,028 units to 41,073 units. The aforementioned Namco Bandai brawler sold 60,315 units on the...

Storms, sunsets, and firestarters

Maintaining its habit of being as inconvenient as humanely possible, Rockstar has deployed a batch of brand new Grand Theft Auto V screenshots. Yup, looks like that’s our Pot Noodle put on hold for the next ten minutes, doesn’t it? The kettle had just finished boiling, too. [image:2,3|4,5] [image:6,10|8,9]...

Who's watching the watch dogs?

We hope you enjoyed last month’s Watch Dogs gameplay demonstration during the PlayStation 4 press conference, because Ubisoft’s sent it us again, albeit from a different angle. This video – dubbed the ‘ctOS Threat Monitoring Report’ – adds some additional information about the open world title courtesy of...
