One of the most exciting features of the PlayStation Vita is its ability to interface with the PlayStation 3

We've always dreamed that one day a portable would be capable of taking our console experience on the road, and that's exactly what Sony's new handheld does. A genre that we've always felt would benefit strongly from the ability to share saves is the sports genre. Just imagine being able to..

Kolbe Launchbaugh may not be a household name like Hideo Kojima and Ken Levine, but he's still a person worth knowing

The developer's spent the past 15 years climbing the corporate ladder at SCEA, starting out as a lowly tester and later becoming a key figure in MLB: The Show's rise to prominence. Sadly, now he's leaving SCEA to take up a position as creative director at EA Sports. Launchbaugh's..

If there's any genre that needs to take advantage of the PlayStation Vita's ability to share save data with the PlayStation 3, it's the sports genre

Just imagine being able to take your FIFA season on the go when you're out and about, and then upload it back to your PS3 when you're at home. In order for the functionality to take off, someone needs to set a precedent — and thankfully that's going..

ModNation Racers stole our hearts last summer

The Sony published "Play Create Share" kart racer was a real triumph, championing the best of Mario Kart and LittleBigPlanet in one tidy, well presented package. ModNation Racers: Road Trip sees the core ideas from last year's PlayStation 3 game shrunk down and repurposed for PlayStation Vita. As the title so effortlessly insinuates, this is..

Sony's announced the follow-up to what's widely dubbed as the greatest sports series ever created, MLB 12: The Show

The game — which has been ranked as the highest rating baseball game four years in a row — will launch on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita on March 6th 2012. The game will feature Boston Red Sox first baseman Adrian Gonzalez on the cover. PR manager Eric Levine said of the..

Medieval Moves: Deadmund's Quest is Sports Champions

Make no mistake, this is a brand new PlayStation Move-exclusive title with its own characters and narrative, but at its core it's built upon the same fundamentals that developer Zindagi Games founded in last year's motion controlled sports compilation. Our demo opens in a vast training arena. It's early evening, and the sun is setting upon the..

Sony's added a one-button gameplay mode to upcoming baseball title, MLB 11: The Show, at the request of 25-year old cerebal palsy patient, Hans Smith

According to the report , the new gameplay mode will allow gamers with disabilities to throw the ball or swing the bat with a single push of a button. May we nominate Square? “Here I am, a baseball fanatic who never actually played the game for..

Sony's announced a ModNation Racers track pack set to launch on October 26th

The pack, entitled the "Stunt Pack", will be available for free two weeks from launch. The contents are listed after the break. It looks like a great little goodie for free. We might be tempted to jump back into ModNation and craft another killer track. Stunt Pack (FREE from October 26 – November 8) Scene Props..

I've spent a good chunk of my week playing table-tennis

Don't be silly, I've not risked my life sharing the Youth Club's beaten down excuse for a table-tennis table with a group of hoods — I've been playing the sport in my living room via PlayStation Move. I've always been a fan of motion controls and, in particular, motion controlled sports games. But brilliant though it was, not even Wii Sports..

Our biggest complaint with the excellent Sports Champions is that on a presentation level it's pretty flat

Let's be honest here, who is going to remember what Kenji and Giselle look like? Zindagi might have done an excellent job programming personality into the AI opponents, but their art team weren't on form designing the characters. That's fine, because Sports Champions is an enjoyable game..

Admittedly, Sports Champions has about as much charm as a limp sock

But having got hands-on time with the compilation's table tennis game, we're not sure it matters. That's because PlayStation Move works; this is not a device playing on empty promises and faked lifestyle commercials - it does what Sony have always said it will: track your movements 1:1. Sports Champions is Sony's attempt at..

High Velocity Bowling has been on my Playstation 3's hard-drive for a long time

I think I bought it while it was in one of SCEE's ludicrously cheap sales. I played it for maybe five-minutes after purchase and then never touched it again. But yesterday was a Bank Holiday here in the UK - a.k.a. "Sit On Your Ass And Do Nothing For 12 Hours" Day. So for some reason, I decided to load up High..

Sony's just uploaded a new trailer for ModNation Racers, showing off some new weapons in the game

As always, the game continues to look completely bonkers and totally amazing. We can't wait for this one.

Just a little more visual confirmation that MLB 10: The Show is one of the best looking Playstation games available right now for you

This is the launch trailer for today's (USA) release. It looks fantastic.

Baseball is all about leggings and ripping off rounders, right? Still, we're told it's a big deal in the US, and not only that, Sony's exclusively developed MLB 10: The Show is supposed to be one of the best sports games available

Like, period. Thus, there's probably some excitement that Joe Mauer has been picked as the game's cover starlet this year. Maybe? Anyone? The game's due on March 2nd in..
