News Cross Journey and The Unfinished Swan Off Your PS4 Wishlist
Blotted out for now
A series of pictorial Tweets from Sony Santa Monica creative director Nathan Gary hinted that both Journey and The Unfinished Swan could be set to make the long trip onto the PlayStation 4 imminently – but the developer has since clarified that th
News PS4 Will Make PS3's 'Good' Online Experience 'Excellent'
Building blocks
Sony’s next generation console may be launching at a much lower price-point than its predecessor, but SCEE president Jim Ryan reckons that it will improve upon virtually every facet of its current flagship format. However, according to the likeable executive, one area that’s been given the greatest overhaul is the system’s...
News PayPal Payment Option Added to the PlayStation 3
It's about time
The lack of PayPal support on the PlayStation 3 is one of life’s greatest mysteries. Users have been utilising the online payment service to add funds to their Sony Entertainment Network wallets through the browser-based store for months now, but the service has been curiously absent on the company's black box itself. Any...
News Rainbow Moon Brightens Up PS Vita from 3rd December
Pot of gold

Store Update 30th October 2013 (Europe)
Day late friend
We’re a teensy bit late to the party with this week’s European PlayStation Store update, but fortunately the content has remained fresh over the past 24 hours. There are a fair few noteworthy arrivals this week, including Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, Battlefield 4, and Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate HD...
News Resogun, Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen, and Soul Sacrifice Front NA PS Plus Update
How do you like it, how do you like it?
It’s true that SCEA has been criticised for its supposedly weak PlayStation Plus lineups in the past, but we doubt that anyone could feel let down by November’s absolutely enormous selection. With the PlayStation 4 set to deploy midway through the month, the company’s latest offering includes free copies...
News Head Backstage with Contrast, the PS4's First PS Plus Freebie
Family affairs
It may lack the big-budget punch of DriveClub, but Canadian indie Compulsion Games’ upcoming Contrast sure seems worth your time all the same. The film noir puzzle platformer is set to deploy next month on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4, with PlayStation Plus subscribers on the latter system securing the swish excursion for...
Review Proteus (PlayStation 3)
Kaleidoscope eyes
On our journey through Proteus, we witnessed history, mythology, nature, industry, death, ascension, and enlightenment. We experienced all of these things, but there's a chance that you may not, because part of the appeal of the release is that it's entirely subjective. As such, this is one of the most thought-provoking titles on...
Store Update 29th October 2013 (North America)
Catch of the day
There’s plenty to plunder on Sony’s primary platforms this week, starting with Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. The seafaring sequel is the definite highlight in the latest North American PlayStation Store update, but it’s accompanied by a competent crew including Proteus, WWE 2K14, and Castlevania: Lords of Shadow –...
News The Walking Dead: Season Two Stumbles to PS3 and Vita This Year
Dead good news
Bigby Wolf and his band of fairytale friends may be drawing all of the plaudits at the present, but Telltale Games is showing no signs of slowing down. As teased earlier in the week, the developer has confirmed that a second season of its award winning
News OlliOlli's Campaign Will Put Your Skating Skills to the Test
Shove it
Tony Hawk may be weeping into his oversized skateboard peripheral as we type, but that’s not stopping British indie Roll7 from capitalising on the superstar’s video game nosedive. While it may not be garnering as much press as it deserves, OlliOlli is actually one of the more addictive titles that we’ve played on the PlayStation Vita...
News The Walking Dead: Season Two Shuffles into Sight Very Soon
Hat should do it
The successor to the first season of Telltale Games’ scarily successful The Walking Dead series will rear its decomposing noggin tomorrow. The developer posted the above image alongside the quote “Keep that hair short” on its Twitter page overnight, prompting fans of the property to pretty much freak out. We know very little...
News This Is How You Share Your Games on the PlayStation 4
Step one
Sadly, we’re not blessed with the comic timing of Sony executives Shuhei Yoshida and Adam Boyes, so our PlayStation 4 game sharing update is going to be a little more straight faced than the double act’s hilarious Xbox One troll from earlier in the year. Still, we come bearing new information, so hopefully you can forgive us for the...
News PlayStation App Squeezes onto Your Smartphone Next Month
There's an app for that
It’s all starting to feel rather real, isn’t it? Back at GamesCom, the PlayStation 4 felt like it was an eternity away, but now we’ve reached the point where we’re writing about imminent firmware updates and file sizes. Furthering that is the confirmation that Sony’s pr
News BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea Bubbles to the Surface Next Month
The big daddy
BioShock Infinite’s first major add-on pack Burial at Sea will plunge to the murky depths of Rapture next month, publisher 2K Games has confirmed. The soggy expansion will plot the return of protagonists Booker DeWitt and Elizabeth, albeit in an alternate timeline that’s sure to leave you with a furrowed brow by the time that you...
News Don't Miss This Opportunity to Play Enslaved: Odyssey to the West
Give it a chance
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West is the best game that you’ve never played. The colourful Ninja Theory adventure crashed and burned when it originally deployed in 2010, but publisher Namco Bandai has opted to give it a new lease of life with a digital re-release for the PlayStation Network. Don’t miss out on it a second time. The...
News Sony Flinging PAIN onto the PSN for Free
Bring the pain
In 2007, agony was brought upon the PlayStation Network in the form of PAIN, a ludicrous yet hilarious title which enabled you to chuck a human being at buildings, vehicles, and various surrounding landmarks with the objective of causing as much mayhem as possible. At the Brazil Game Show, Sony announced that the injury inducing...
News The Wolf Among Us Flashes Its Teeth on PlayStation Vita
Once upon a time

News Assassin's Creed Liberation HD Scales New Orleans in the New Year
Familiar faces, famous places

Store Update 22nd October 2013 (North America)
Tripping over content
Where to even start? This week’s North American PlayStation Store update is so outrageously enormous that we doubt that we’ll be able to do it justice in under 75 words. Highlights include a bunch of PS4 pre-orders, the re-release of Enslaved: Odyssey to the West (seriously, you should play it), and a little game called,...
Review Superfrog HD (PlayStation 3)
Princely or wince-worthy?
Superfrog HD is the remake of an Amiga classic from 1993 and was made by the trusted people at Team 17, who are famous for the Worms series. The narrative is not really groundbreaking, but it tells the sweet love story of a prince and a princess. As with all magical kingdoms, though, fate has something else in mind for the...

Review The Wolf Among Us: Episode 1 - Faith (PlayStation 3)
Little red riding in the hood
Fresh off the incredible success of the first season of its The Walking Dead adaptation, Telltale Games is now faced with the almost insurmountable task of trying to match the lofty heights of Lee and Clem’s walker-dodging misadventures. In order to attempt this feat, it's adopted the Fables comic franchise as the...
Review Orc Attack: Flatulent Rebellion (PlayStation 3)
Peg your nose
Orcs are almost the fantasy genre equivalent of Nazis. They often make up the bulk of an evil army, and represent the dumb grunts that you have to wade through in order to reach your goal. But sometimes we're allowed to play as them. In the The Elder Scrolls series, for example, they're a playable race, while in the ridiculously named...
Soapbox Stop Sobbing Over Retail Releases and Embrace PS4's Smaller Titles
Sammy Barker reckons that you're overlooking the most exciting games
I tend to hate change. I’m the kind of curmudgeonly so-and-so that gets bent out of shape when the local supermarket stops stocking a certain type of biscuit and coerces me into buying something other than chocolate chip digestives and own brand custard creams. It’s not that I...

Store Update 16th October 2013 (Europe)
Oh, what mighty big teeth you have
It’s the calm before the storm on the European PlayStation Store this week, with only a handful of noteworthy titles vying for your attention. The first entry in Telltale’s episodic The Wolf Among Us series is very much the star of the show, but the overdue arrival of Muramasa Rebirth is worth a mention too...

Big catch
Monster Hunter Frontier Online is already out in Japan on the PC and Xbox 360, but the update to the title – named Monster Hunter Frontier G – is being released on the PlayStation 3 later this year in the region. Now the online RPG has received a new trailer, but it might be best to stick the kettle on, as it's ten-minutes long. The...
Review Skydive: Proximity Flight (PlayStation 3)
Don't try this at home
What happened to extreme sports games? They were more popular than Mountain Dew towards the end of the PSone era, but the genre seemed to fizzle out faster than a ska band’s fanbase. Overexposure certainly contributed to Kelly Slater and crew’s sudden crash in popularity, but with only a half-hearted Tony Hawk to compete...
News Surge Deluxe Connects the Blocks on PlayStation Vita
Electro shock
We’re not quite sure where the folks over at FuturLab get their energy, but we’d love to add a little drop of whatever it is that the studio’s supping to our tea.

News Remember Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance with Staggering EU PS Plus Refresh
Raiden you subscribe?

Glitter bug
The aim of Sparkle is to fling different coloured marbles at a procession of similarly styled balls that are rolling progressively closer to the centre of an on-screen maze.

Ninja'd
After a guard accidentally nods off over a big red button that rains nuclear fire down on the Earth's citizens, the world as we know it is destroyed.

Talking Point How Much Game Does a Video Game Need?
Push square to win
There was a time when video games were easy to define. You’d pop a quarter into a lively looking cabinet, shoot some aliens, and try to set a high score. The rules established by the early generation of arcade hits throughout the 1970s have long since dictated what we’ve come to expect from interactive entertainment, but as...
Store Update 8th October 2013 (North America)
A real stinker
Excuse the misleading sub headline – this is actually an excellent North American PlayStation Store update. Instead, we’re referring to the release of Orc Attack: Flatulent Rebellion, which promises a “fart-filled romp” where “fun-loving Orcs battle pollution loving Humans in a humorous fantasy setting”. Hmm. Less smelly...

We rarely agree on anything. Spend an afternoon in our office, and you’re much more likely to find us arguing over the last custard cream than working in composed quiet.
