Pay as you go

Lumines Electronic Symphony developer Q Entertainment has announced that it's bringing its free-to-play RPG Guardian Hearts Online to Japanese PlayStation Vitas this month. The title – which is currently only available for mobile platforms – is “a sprite-based, command-driven RPG where you hire other players as your NPCs”...

All change

Former 1UP writer James Mielke has departed Lumines developer Q Entertainment, and, in a twist that you almost certainly couldn’t make up, has announced his arrival at PixelJunk studio Q Games. He’ll serve as a producer on an unannounced project. Speaking with CVG, Mielke paid tribute to his former employer Tetsuya Mizuguchi:...

All you need to know

Lumines: Electronic Symphony has a killer soundtrack — not least aided by the inclusion of Mylo's Kim Carnes-sampling In My Arms Personal favourite that one, dear readers. But that's not all the game has to offer. There's also Kelly Watch The Stars by Air, Rocket by Goldfrapp and Windowlicker by Aphex Twin. Y'know, when Q...

Lumines might be a great puzzler, but a lot of the franchise's underlying appeal comes down to its audio

As such, it's totally befitting that Amazon should be handing out free MP3s to those that pre-order a copy of Lumines: Electronic Symphony for the PS Vita. You'll get three tracks for your troubles, each composed by Makoto Asai and pulled from the game's secret unlockable stages. The game's due..

Ubisoft's released a new trailer for the PlayStation 3 version of Child Of Eden

It doesn't say much we don't already know — lights, colours, music — but it's a good hype piece if your hotly anticipating next week's release. Catch the trailer after the jump.

One of the standout releases in the PlayStation Portable's original catalogue was Lumines

A brand new puzzler — heralded as one of the best since Tetris — Lumines combined fantastic music with a quirky, but addictive, mechanic. And now the series is back to redefine the PlayStation Vita. Originally announced at GamesCom and blown out at the Tokyo Game Show, Lumines (or Lumines Electric..

Ubisoft executive Tony Key has said that the publisher doesn't plan on releasing its PlayStation Move enabled 'experience', Child Of Eden, as a downloadable title

Despite solid reviews, the XBOX 360 version of the game famously bombed at retail earlier in the year. A PlayStation 3 release is planned later this month, with most retailers offering the game at a sub £20 price-point. “It’s a great..

We all knew Child Of Eden was getting PlayStation Move and 3D support many months ago, but it's taken this long for Ubisoft to confirm things

Still, at least the word is out now — and with a September release date pledged, we've not got long to wait until we get out hands-on it. Child Of Eden — the spiritual successor to Rez — released on XBOX 360 with Kinect support earlier in the year. The..

As champions of original video game concepts, we were a little disappointed to see Q-Entertainment's ambitious audio-visual experience, Child Of Eden, bomb at retail

But with every cloud there's a silver lining, as Ubisoft has announced that the upcoming PlayStation 3 release of the title will retail for a cut-price £19.99. That's half the price of the XBOX 360 original. It gets even better when..

Ubisoft's finally confirmed a PlayStation 3 release date for Q-Entertainment's spiritual successor to Rez, Child Of Eden

The PlayStation Move-enabled trance 'em up will launch on September 23rd on Sony's platform, according to the publisher's updated release schedule. Earlier in the year a Ubisoft representative told us to expect 3D compatibility in the PlayStation 3 version of Child Of Eden. The..

Microsoft did not money-hat Child Of Eden

That's the message of Q-Entertainment's James Mielke in the latest 8-4 Play podcast [a really good podcast by the way, give it a shot - Ed]. According to Mielke, the delay is simply down to Q Entertainment's small studio, with the 30-strong team switching their attention to the PS3 version now the XBOX 360 edition is on store shelves. “We’re doing..

Earlier in the month we were told that Child Of Eden would launch on the PS3 about 4-6 weeks later than its XBOX 360 counterpart

With the 360 version launching in mid-June, that would peg the PS3 release in early August at the latest. Not true according to IGN, as they are reporting that the PS3 version will not launch until September. A whole month later. D'oh. Supporting our report, IGN adds that..

After much hush-hush pertaining to Child Of Eden's potential PlayStation Move compatibility, our friends over at MoveModo have finally drawn a confirmation out of a Ubisoft representative

Tetsuya Mizuguchi needs your input for the final level of Child Of Eden

The emotional visionary is seeking player's photographs to include in the game's penultimate journey, focusing on the concept of memories. "In this game, the player's mission is to purify everything, every data," Mizuguchi told Joystiq in an interview. "And this is the final stage of this game, you know, I need..

Ubisoft's revealed that Tetsuya Mizuguchi’s next title, Child Of Eden, will be heading to the PlayStation 3 with full motion control support for PlayStation Move

The game's all about flashing lights, pulsing music and... Goodness knows. We're not sure we really care either. It looks amazing — who cares about the gameplay part? It seems to be all about rhythm and shape manipulation. We presume..

According to Joystiq, Q Entertainment are considering bringing Rez HD to the Playstation Network

In fact, they've even got as far as Tweeting about the matter, asking fans how much they'd pay for the title. They note, in fact, that at $15 "it would not be a huge profit." Of course, some people (those with no intention of buying the game we assume) are having a good ol' moan about it being..
