News Reveal Your Inner Retro with Exclusive Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes Content
Acceptable in 1998
As you may have previously predicted, Hideo Kojima's promised reveal during tonight's PlayStation 4 launch livestream in New York City didn't shake out to be anything huge — but the ability to play as PSone-era Snake in the upcoming Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes should still prove a cute little extra for fans.

News Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag's PS4 Exclusive DLC Will Sail to Other Shores
You'll need to wait six months for it to arrive, though
Timed exclusive DLC has always struck us as strange. We understand that it distinguishes a particular version of a multiformat game, but it just seems like such a waste of money on the platform holder’s part. Essentially, cash is being exchanged in order to prevent owners of another system...

Rumour You'll Be Able to Exchange Real Cash for Money in Grand Theft Auto Online
Cash injection
You may be able to earn some serious paper from bank jobs and crafty accounting in Grand Theft Auto V, but that takes effort. It seems like the upcoming Grand Theft Auto Online will allow you to eschew that hard work by purchasing a dodgy bank card – for a fee, of course. Reddit users have
News Looks Like Delsin Rowe Will Be Switching His Threads a Lot in inFAMOUS: Second Son
Poser power
Delsin Rowe, the potty-mouthed protagonist in inFAMOUS: Second Son, sounds like the type of person that changes his clothes several times before a night out on the tiles. As such, not content with the enormous roster of powers that developer Sucker Punch has already teased, the hero will also be able to swap his vest, as evidenced by
Weirdness Saints Row IV Conveniently Cashes GATV Add-On Next Week
Smooth move
Considering that the Saints Row series started life as a cheap Grand Theft Auto knock-off, it’s amazing how much the franchises have diverged. While the previous instalment in Rockstar’s sandbox series adopted a more realistic guise, Volition Software’s own property has backflipped off the side of a cliff wearing a tutu. Still,...

News Aveline Will Be 'Older' in Exclusive Assassin's Creed IV Missions
Growing pains
You know that you’ve got a problem when the protagonist of your spin-off game is more interesting than the hero in your main release.

The blood is the life
The path to success apparently includes underdressed females with fangs. We’re not prudes, but we can’t help but feel let down by Tekken Revolution’s latest fighter.

News The Legend of Dragoon's Dart Almost Fought in PlayStation All-Stars
Here comes a new challenger
We thought that the roster in mascot mash-up PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale was fine, but it could have used a few more niche names.

Gangster's paradise
Kazuma Kiryu’s proficiency with the martial arts may have made him a better fit for mascot mash-up PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale – but the Yakuza protagonist is no stranger to the golf course either.
