Spin-off staying home spun

United Front Games isn't working on a Vita version of LittleBigPlanet Karting, the developer's confirmed. Game designer William Ho told the PlayStation Blog: Alas, we are concentrating 100% on making the PS3 version LittleBigPlanet Karting the very best it can be. We are not working on a Vita version at this time. Of...

ModNation Racers: Road Trip has prompted an unfortunate furore

It's a shame because we were really impressed with the game at a recent hands-on event, but the absence of online multiplayer is a real kick in the nuts. What good is a kart racer without online competitive play — especially in a series that's all about showing off your character and kart? The backlash has been so bad, that Sony San..

We've reported on some baffling stories over the past three years, but we think this one might just take the biscuit

Having been thoroughly impressed with the PlayStation Vita version of Play Create Share racer, ModNation Racers: Road Trip, last year, we thought it was a certain pick-up alongside our system next month — but then we read that it has no online multiplayer. The news was confirmed in..

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 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..

Beyond the shock and awe of Uncharted: Golden Abyss and Gravity Daze on PlayStation Vita, one first-party title has always looked like the perfect fit: ModNation Racers

Boasting a full showcase of the PlayStation Vita's multiple input options, as well as being delightfully suited to portable play, United Front's latest customisable kart racer is sure to be a must-have title when it hits Sony's new..

Many of you may remember the furore from when Activision announced it was cancelling True Crime: Hong Kong

The United Front Games developed sandbox title was getting mixed reception in the press, but many noted the game's promise despite its subsequent cancellation. Turns out publisher Square Enix spotted that promise too, as its announced overnight that its picked up the rights to publish the game..

One of our favourite games on PlayStation 3 last year was ModNation Racers

In our line of work, we're constantly moving on to the next thing. But ModNation Racers was one of those titles that never fell too low down our stack of PS3 games. We'd pull it out every rainy Sunday or slow afternoon, just to browse the game's latest creations, or race a few laps with our friends. Heck, even when our main..

Sony's expanded its growing collection of PS3 'Greatest Hits' by four, adding the likes of God Of War III, Heavy Rain, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Modnation Racers and UFC Undisputed 2010 to the catalogue's growing roster

Each of the games will be repackaged at an impressive $30, making them the perfect impulse purchases — even if you own two copies already. C'mon, Uncharted 2's good enough to..

Activision's just set the Internet on fire by announcing that it has canned development on the almost-finished True Crime: Hong Kong and, perhaps more importantly, completely "disbanded" the Guitar Hero brand

The publisher stated during its 2011 financial report  that “due to continued declines in the music genre, the company will disband Activision Publishing’s Guitar Hero business unit and..

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..

Sony's confirmed a price-drop for United Front's excellent ModNation Racers in the US

The kart 'em up will now be available for $40 on the PlayStation 3 and $20 on the PSP. If you haven't picked the game up yet, we recommend you do. The load times might be frustrating, but the core racing is fun and the character creation stuff is amazing. There's more on the PlayStation Blog.

Hidden within Activision's quarterly financial reports is a spot f bad news for fans of the True Crime franchise; UFG's series reboot, True Crime: Hong Kong, has been pushed back into 2011

The game was originally due to release this fall. Activision hopes the delay will "give the development team more time to deliver the high-quality entertainment experience they envision for the game"..

IGN's dropped details of the long awaited patch for United Front Games' Modnation Racers

We loved the game when we reviewed it a few months back, but had stopped playing recently due to a number of issues with the game — namely the load times. While we didn't have a huge problem with the loading at the time, they do kill the multiplayer somewhat, as there's no repeating lobby system. United..

Apparently some people aren't very good at ModNation Racers or something

We see them lamenting the single-player career a fair bit across the Internet. United Front's taken note, as they've posted on the PlayStation Blog that there's to be a new "Casual" friendly difficulty mode added to the racer's main campaign. Apparently it will make the enemy AI a touch less aggressive. It might also..

If we had to list our favourite PlayStation characters in order, Sweet Tooth would be somewhere around the latter half of the top-ten

The dude's a clown with fire for hair. What's not to like about that? To celebrate the announcement that Sony are to reboot the Twisted Metal franchise next year, they're releasing some premium DLC for Modnation Racers. The pack, which will release for $1.99 on the..

Activision's unveiled the official website for United Front's upcoming True Crime: Hong Kong

The website reveals a few details about the game's cast, and there's a few new in-game screenshots of the reboot. You can get the goods through here. No doubt Activision will have a thing or two to say about the game at E3.

Burnout Paradise predates this website

It was released in January 2008, at a time when I didn't have to play every game that released. I picked it up sometime in September. Being a fan of arcade racers, it still bemuses me that I didn't buy it earlier, and I honestly can't for the life of me recall why. But I didn't - I picked it up late. At the time trophies were new, and Criterion had pledged a..

The positive reaction to the God Of War, Ratchet & Clank and Uncharted Modnation Racers' preorder bonuses has led United Front Games to consider the possibility of other familiar Sony character appearances

And they're curious who you'd like to see. We'll go first: Sweet Tooth, Gabe Logan, Nathan Hale, Jak & Daxter, Sly Cooper, Jack Tretton, the Helghast, Buzz, the guy out of Ico, Kevin..
