Gulp
Derrick the Deathfin creator Gordon Midwood is in deep water, and is struggling to come up for air. The developer racked up a whopping $63,000 in debt while producing the papercraft PSN exclusive – a figure which he is never likely to earn back. “It’s entirely possible, or indeed by the looks of things at the moment 100 per cent...
Headache inducing

Boing, boing
West Bromwich Albion fans will be eager to learn a little more about PlayStation Home's latest arcade cabinet.

"We'll be in closed beta for the rest of the...
