News December NPD 2010: PlayStation 3 Passes A Million, While Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cleans Up
After November's sales disaster for the PlayStation 3, December's numbers have come as somewhat of a surprise
When isolated, the PlayStation 3's 1.21 million sales are reasonable if not spectacular. Unfortunately, it's when the other platforms are brought into the equation that the numbers look meagre for Sony. While Microsoft didn't enjoy the North...

News Feign Excitement: Call Of Duty: Black Ops Is The UK's Best Selling Game Of 2010
Surprise!
We nearly called it and then we were like, nah, too crazy. Who'd have thought Call Of Duty: Black Ops would become the UK's best selling game of 2010? Our money was on the Nintendo Wii's Just Dance. We were close. That came in second. But blimey. Black Ops — crazy that. Gran Turismo 5 fared pretty well, coming third on the PlayStation...
News Photos Of That Sony Ericsson Phone Are Still Doing The Rounds...
More sites have acquired shots of the PlayStation powered Sony Ericsson Xperia phone
Remember, Sony still hasn't even acknowledged this thing exists. The longer this thing goes on though (and uninformed blogs continue to type the words "ZOMGZ PlayStation Phone...") the more damage this does. Either block up the leak Sony, or announce the...
News Sony Teases The Strongest Exclusive Game Line-Up We've Ever Seen
Every year someone on the Internet writes "the year of the PlayStation 3"
It's a long-running meme that's attributed to the fact that the PlayStation 3's never quite lived up to the success of its predecessors. The oft-touted "year of the PlayStation 3" has never quite come to fruition; Sony certainly had a strong 2009, but that was...

News DC Universe Online Gets Its First US TV Commercial
The more we think about DC Universe Online, the more we realise it's actually quite a big deal
MMOs are big business (although it's yet to be proven there's room in the market for a title alongside World Of Warcraft). Likewise, people still like comic book characters. Honestly, if it was a choice between Lord Of The Rings outcasts and Batman, we...

The extended Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception trailer — which was shown in stereoscopic 3D during Sony's CES press conference — is largely the same as what we've already seen. But there's a twist. Hidden in the last few moments of the trailer is a smattering of additional...

What a staggering first-party line-up Sony has planned this year
Seriously, even with our fanboy hats taken firmly from our head, we'd be fools to not acknowledge the strength of Sony's exclusive PlayStation 3 software offering this year. When you can follow-up an astounding trailer like the one Guerrilla's just released for Killzone 3 with an...
News Killzone 3's Story Trailer Is The Absolute Best Thing You'll See Today
Shivers
If Killzone 2 could be faulted in any way, it was for its soul-less cast and contrived storyline. But basing assumptions on this two-minute Killzone 3 story trailer, we'd say Guerrilla Games has learned its lesson. The PlayStation Blog's revealed that two acting legends will be heading up the Helghast's leadership positions in Killzone...

News Capcom Blames Sony For Missing Super Street Fighter IV Costumes
There's one major difference between the XBOX 360 and PlayStation 3 version of Super Street Fighter IV
On the 360, if you participate in an online match with someone wearing a DLC costume, you'll be able to see the get-up even if you haven't purchased it. On PlayStation 3 you can't. This is because Capcom offers a free download on XBOX Live known as...
News "Offensive" PlayStation Move Advertisement Banned For Being "Too Violent"
"Move into the fight" is the tag-line for Sony's print The Fight: Lights Out campaign

Around this time last year everyone was hyped for the somewhat disappointing Split/Second
The game's cinematic take on arcade racing pulled everyone in and delivered a unique but flawed experience when it launched earlier this year. MotorStorm Apocalypse blows everything about Split/Second away. Last year we were comparing Split/Second to Michael...

News US PlayStation Plus Subscribers Net Unlimited MAG Full-Game Trial
Here's a novel way of killing three birds with one stone: MAG's set to get an unlimited full-game trial for US PlayStation Plus subscribers this week
The trial will allow players to experience MAG fully, but will cap progress at level eight. This is actually the best idea ever. Why? It serves three purposes: keeps MAG's servers populated with fresh...
Isn't it bizarre how patching can change games? For example, the MAG we reviewed in January is no longer the same game
Likewise PlayStation Home, the whole things changed yo. So while Gran Turismo 5 sits looking sulkily at its respectable Metacritic score of 84, Polyphony Digital's been busy beavering away on new features that could easily brings...
News SCEE Deploys Enormous Christmas Sale On European PlayStation Store
It's Christmas -- or so the neighbours' irritatingly chirpy festive lights are trying to tell us

Marvel vs
Capcom is cool and all</a>, but your Grandad doesn't know how to play that. LittleBigPlanet 2 is a family game after all. Maybe he knows how to play pool instead?

News Crazy People Create Sony vs. Marvel vs. Capcom In LittleBigPlanet 2
We can probably all agree that Marvel vs
Capcom would be better with a dash of Kratos and Cole McGrath. These insane LittleBigPlanet 2 creators have crafted just that, creating a fully fledged beat 'em up within the confines of the upcoming Play Create Share title's beta. The game has proper special moves and everything. It's all a bit bonkers to be...
