What's more exciting than shooting hordes of zombies in the face? Doing it with friends

News Platinum Games Actively Developing A "Big Multiplayer Title"
Platinum Games are renowned for being, well, a bit amazing

News How About Watching One Of inFamous 2's Early Cut-Scenes?
The comic-book cut-scenes are back in inFamous 2
Only this time narrator Cole has got a new voice - a better voice. Aww c'mon, don't pretend like the last Cole's voice was good. It was gruff, generic and terrible. Now he's got a little more personality. This cut-scene is from the start of inFamous 2 when Cole arrives in New Marais. It's edgey...
News SOE: "Free Realms Is Still Definitely Coming To PS3"
The problem, as far as we see it, for Free Realms on the PS3 is PlayStation Home
Arguably, SOE's online world is a much more focused world than Home's virtual chatroom — though Home has taken strides in that direction over recent months. Still, Sony can't have two competing online worlds accessible from the XMB; so that would mean Free Realms...
News Yakuza 4 To Get Less Cuts Than Its Predecessor, Claims SEGA
The furore surrounding Yakuza 3's cuts were a bit exaggerated
No-one likes getting half a game, but when it came to Yakuza 3 there was more than 50 hours worth of content still on the disc. The removal of hostess bars was a silly move by SEGA, something the publisher admits to. That's why they're being a lot smarter with the Western handling of...
First Impressions Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit on PS3
Having been anticipating Criterion's next racing game since Burnout: Paradise, we were initially somewhat disappointed watching others play Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit
The game looked slower than Burnout Paradise, perhaps a result of the unfinished frame-rate. But once we got our hands on the game - much was forgiven. Criterion know racing games...
News Dead Rising 2 To Get Piles Of DLC Costumes
One of our favourite things about Dead Rising 2 were the ridiculous costumes you could don while slaying hordes of the undead

News NBA Jam Wouldn't Be NBA Jam Without A Healthy Dose Of Politics

First Impressions Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood on PS3 Multiplayer
Online multiplayer has slowly been getting more predictable

First Impressions Medal Of Honor on PlayStation 3 Multiplayer
Medal Of Honor's multiplayer is a strange beast
We actually think there's a lot to like about it. But at the same time, it's so very familiar. The game doesn't appear to have any personality of its own; and while it's certainly beyond competent, it's also agonisingly akin to Call Of Duty. Our 16-player hands-on demo saw us checking out the game's...
News Do You Like Watching Cars Drive In Circles? Then You'll Like NASCAR: The Game 2011!

News EA Canada Racing To Flesh Out NBA Jam On PlayStation 3
We absolutely adore EA but let's be honest -- they've messed up NBA Jam

First Impressions MySims: Sky Heroes on PlayStation 3 Demo
We've always liked flight combat titles here at PushSquare
