Free demo on 1st March

Upcoming mascot 'em up PlayStation Move Heroes is Sony's big, non-Killzone 3 Move release in the next month, and players who subscriber to the company's premium PlayStation Plus service will get to try out the title weeks before its launch. Subscribers in North America will receive early access to the PlayStation Move Heroes...

PlayStation Plus, we're truly beginning to adore you

So much content. And it's free (in kinds). The latest batch of goodies for subscribers comes from SEGA, with a bunch of Mega Drive Genesis classics pledged for the PlayStation Network at a grand cost of zilch. While the European PlayStation Blog is a little more cagey with details (don't worry, we're still definitely getting the 16-bit classics..

Perhaps the most overlooked area of the PlayStation business is the ever-expanding PlayStation Network

Since the PS3 launched we've really watched Sony expand the digital-content service into a fundamental component of the platform, an area they lagged behind Microsoft going into this console generation. With that in mind, digital analysts conclude the PSN was worth a whopping $49.4million in the..

After the wonderful Costume Quest, DoubleFine's upcoming Russian doll adventure, Stacking, is pretty high on our most anticipated PSN games list

We suspect, valued readers, that it's on your radar too. Feel free to dance a joyous jig of celebration with us then, as we reveal that Stacking will be free for all PlayStation Plus subscribers from next week. That's both European and North American..

Sonic The Hedgehog (2006) is widely considered one of the worst games on PlayStation 3

We're big fans of Sonic and SEGA games in general, but even we have to admit that the early PS3 title was shoddy at best. Having said that, we've already committed to playing through the game again. Why? Trophies. The game mysteriously appeared on this morning's European PlayStation Plus line-up, with a PSN..

SEGA's confirmed that a demo for Yakuza 4 -- probably one of our most anticipated games of the year -- will be going live on February 23rd

PlayStation Plus subscribers will get in on the action a week early, on February 16th. The demo promises to offer a taste of each of the game's four protagonists. Yes! There's a new trailer after the jump focusing on the hostesses. Yes, we are so going to spend..

Perhaps preparing the waters for NGP's rumoured cross-connectivity features, Kotaku reports that cloud-saving is coming to the PlayStation 3 as part of the system's next firmware update (3

60). As anticipated, the feature will be restricted to PlayStation Plus subscribers and will presumably allow players to back-up their game progress in the cloud. The cloud is obviously like an ever present..

LittleBigPlanet 2's kinda out

Killzone 3's nearly out. But the cogs at Sony's overworked PR office keep turning; we've just realised we still know absolutely nothing about SOCOM 4's multiplayer component. That's not a problem though, because Sony's announced on the US PlayStation Blog that marked copies of Killzone 3 (Helghast and regular) are set to include access to the SOCOM 4

Cheap shots

Only the very stingiest gamers should object to paying $7.99 for Gameloft's upcoming Modern Combat: Domination when it launches in North America on January 18th, but there's good news for frugal fans of first-person shooters as the game will land with a day-one 25% discount for PlayStation Plus subscribers. That means North American...

Well worth a shot

Online shooter MAG is already available cheaply in the Greatest Hits range, but if you're still not convinced it's worth the money then perhaps a PlayStation Plus-exclusive free game trial will help twist your arm. Subscribers to Sony's premium service will be able to play the game for free, with full Move support. You'll only be...

Here's a novel way of killing three birds with one stone: MAG's set to get an unlimited full-game trial for US PlayStation Plus subscribers this week

The trial will allow players to experience MAG fully, but will cap progress at level eight. This is actually the best idea ever. Why? It serves three purposes: keeps MAG's servers populated with fresh players, gives PlayStation Plus users a tasty..

We're downloading all 15GB of the DC Universe Online beta as we type

The MMO stress-test has been released for PlayStation Plus subscribers in Europe today (that's all of you) and will run right through the holiday season. The download's handled in two parts — a fairly tiny client followed by a whopping 15GB download. It's handled similarly to the MAG beta, the main difference being that the..

Haha

Gotta laugh at all those people throwing around the words "useless", "pointless" and "crap" when PlayStation Plus was announced. We're some of the most hardcore PlayStation Network users out there, and Plus has already lavished us in a ridiculous array of goodies. Today we're set to get a few more. SCEE's revealed that a "limited" number of PlayStation..

Go back in time

Sony announced that Sackboy's Prehistoric Moves was going to get an early launch for PlayStation Plus subscribers, and true enough the game appeared on the PlayStation Store last night for members of Sony's premium club to download for free. If you're not a PlayStation Plus subscriber there's no need to fret as the game is available...

Sony's dropped some fresh news about what we can expect from the LittleBigPlanet franchise this Christmas

Honestly, a whole lot. Sony will be sending out fresh beta invites and a story demo for LittleBigPlanet 2 from next month, as well as releasing a stand-alone PlayStation Move experience entitled Sackboy's Prehistoric Moves. Sackboy's Prehistoric Moves was outed by Australia's ratings board last..

SCEE's allowing all European PlayStation Plus members to take part in the Killzone 3 beta

It's a limited offer, so make sure you make the most of this opportunity — jump on the PlayStation Store and hit "Download". Go on, it's free. “For a limited amount of time today, you will be able to download the Beta straight from the PlayStation Plus section of the PS Store. "We will not..

Honestly, we couldn't care less about hockey nor the NHL

We can imagine fans of the sport are literally drawling at the prospect of Sony's new NHL GameCenter application for the PlayStation 3 The application allows NHL GameCenter Live subscribers ($169) to "stream live out-of-market regular season and select playoff game broadcasts in HD." The app also features support for full-length..

PlayStation Plus is the gift that keeps giving

Honestly, we totally get why people are against it, and at the end of the day that's fine; it's a completely optional service, either you want it or you don't. But with yesterday's Killzone 3 beta and today's 20% discount on the Red Dead Redemption DLC we'd already planned to buy, it all starts to add up. If you've only just bought a PlayStation 3, we..

American PlayStation Plus members lucky enough to get into the Red Faction: Battlegrounds beta will have an extra week to zoom around in the vehicular combat title

The PlayStation Blog notes that in addition to the beta extension, 1,000 new Plus members are set to get in on the action. The full game's still due in early 2011.
