We probably sound like something of a worn out record when discussing Mass Effect 3's multiplayer component, so we're now going to reserve judgement until we actually play it

While we've been heavily critical of Mass Effect's status as a shooter in the past, we'll refrain further comment until we actually play the latest entry. Because, honestly, being super cynical about video games is one of the..

Wipeout is one of our favourite PlayStation franchises of all time

We love Sony Liverpool's series so much that we get angry if anyone says anything bad about our preferred racing faction. (Assegai for those curious). Needless to say we're hopelessly stoked for the PlayStation Vita's latest Wipeout title — Wipeout 2048. Sony's dropped some new screenshots to celebrate PlayStation Vita's February..

It's rare that we'll comment on the hair or fashion sense of a video game character

Particularly not a Japanese video game character. But we feel compelled to rattle out something about Snow's new hair-cut in Final Fantasy XIII-2? Who is responsible for this atrocity?</em>

We like a bit of online multiplayer from time to time, but we're primarily single-player people

We enjoy spending time with a great narrative and being involved in a story. So while we think Battlefield 3's multiplayer actually looks pretty cool, it's certainly not the highlight for us. That accolade belongs to the campaign. And when the campaign is as visually stimulating as Battlefield 3, we..

Forget one gun, Max Payne doesn't do things by halves

In a batch of new screenshots for Max Payne 3, Rockstar has shown off the moody character clasping weapons in both hands. It's all looking rather dark and gritty. Which we suspect is exactly what fans of the series have been clamoring for.</em>

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..

In addition to the trailer for the newly announced Dead Or Alive 5, Team Ninja's also released a piece of promotional concept art

And you were wondering where all the hot girls had got to, huh?</em>

GameArts has released the first screenshots of its upcoming PlayStation Vita RPG, Ragnarok Odyssey

They look purrdy. (And colourful). Catch the full set courtesy of Andriasang.</em>

Just Add Water's uploaded some brand new screenshots of its upcoming PlayStation 3 port of Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD

Catch them over on the social networking site, through here.</em>

Capcom's released a handful of new Asura's Wrath screenshots

The images depict all sorts of carnage, but the shot embedded above did jump out at us. Perhaps it's the angry looking Buddha foes. Catch the full set over at Andriasang.

Tennis games have always suffered from poor character models

So much so, we have fond memories of writing into Official Dreamcast Magazine about the 'Resident Evil Tim Henman' in the original Virtua Tennis. It's been a few weeks since EA announced Grand Slam Tennis 2, but the publisher's been keeping a lid on its character models, prompting some concern about their quality. Thankfully, there's..

Earlier today we reported that Sony is looking to completely redefine PlayStation Home as a social gaming platform in the Fall

New genre specific districts will be complimented by a new 'Hub' system — the entrance into PlayStation Home's new world. The aim is to make Sony's digital platform less of a sophisticated chat-room, and more of a connected video game platform. Responding to criticism..

Look video game developers: it can be done

Far Cry 3 might not be the tranquil experience its environments hint at, but at least the game's packed with colour and vibrancy. Proof that first-person shooters can consist of more than the colour brown. And grey.</em> Joystiq's got the full set of screens.

Poor Elizabeth

She was thrilled with all the awards BioShock: Infinite won at E3 earlier in the year, but someone at GamesCom had to be a complete meanie didn't they? Horrible Europeans, why did you have to tell her that BioShock: Infinite is still a year away from release? We think we're going to have a little cry too.

Just Add Water's craftily uploaded a full character render of Abe from Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee HD, the upcoming high-definition re-release of the XBOX classic

Munch's Oddysee HD is due out on PS3 in October, with a PlayStation Vita version planned. [Thanks TGL]

We're still a touch concerned about Silent Hill: Downpour -- it's in development at an unknown studio and we've still seen very little of the game

But one thing we have seen are a host of glorious screenshots, and while they don't reveal much about the game's narrative or mechanics, they at least conclude that the game is looking super pretty. Check out the lighting in the screenshot above — it's..

When we say "purrrdy", we also mean "a bit gross"

But that's the whole point; House Of The Dead: Overkill is a nasty, gory on-rails shooter. And it's brilliant. Hot on the heels of yesterday's big blow-out, SEGA's sent us some brand new screens of the upcoming PS3 title. Embedded above is a shot from Overkill's Carnival level. Yes — there are zombies dressed as clowns. We told you this game was..

Something bizzarre's happening with Final Fantasy XIII-2: there's just no enthusiasm

While the original Final Fantasy XIII was certainly a flawed experience, it wasn't so terrible that the sequel should be ignored entirely. And yet despite having a huge showing at this year's E3, few publications took the time to really put the title in the spotlight. Square Enix has released a fresh batch of..

It's amazing how well Capcom's managed to get the Tekken fighters to fit into Street Fighter's aesthetic

The latest batch of Street Fighter X Tekken shots posted by VG247 reveal Julia and Hwoarang. Both look good, though Julia's biceps are a touch disturbing.</em>
