News Trademarks Hints At Another Dose Of Kane & Lynch
There were things that we liked about IO Interactive's Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days
The visual style, for one, was extremely impressive — and we're surprised it hasn't been aped yet. But for all the game's good looks and presentation trickery, Dog Days just wasn't that fun to play. It was short, predictable and flat. Developer IO really needs to...

Rumour Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing 2 In Development For PlayStation Vita?
We loved Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing
Our only real disappointment with the Sumo Digital developed kart-racer was that it didn't go far enough. Sure, it was nice getting a glimpse of Ryo Hazuki and Amigo — but we wanted the game to dip even deeper into SEGA lore. Where was the Space Harrier stage? What happened to ToeJam & Earl? These are...

News Rockstar Staffing Up For 'Next-Gen Consoles'
Forget what Kaz Hirai says about the PlayStation 4: someone, somewhere knows exactly what's going on
