  • News Ready Your PlayStation 3 for Firmware Update 4.11

    Again

    Budding Twitter critics rejoice: Sony’s announced a new firmware update for the PlayStation 3.

  • News Mad Riders Trailer Gets Dirty

    Nail'd it

    For all its faults, we rather enjoyed Techland’s Nail’d. The game did away with MotorStorm’s simulation aspects, opting for an off-road experience filled with massive air. And we mean massive air. Seriously, if you haven’t played the game, you can’t even comprehend how big some of the jumps in that title were. While Mad Riders...

    Sony’s announced the UK prices for its first batch of downloadable PlayStation Vita titles, and the news is good. Very good, in fact.

    WASD

    Seeing as CCP Games’ upcoming PlayStation 3 exclusive, Dust 514, is closely associated with PC MMO, Eve Online, it makes sense for the game to take advantage of one of the PS3’s most under-utilised features: mouse and keyboard support.
