News New InFamous Trailer Is Graphically Spectacular
GameTrailers premiered a new trailer for Sucker Punch's sandbox superhero game InFamous last night
Honestly, we think the graphics are genuinely amazing but we're a bit worried the gameplay won't hold up. Every time we see a clip of InFamous we can't help but think the core fighting mechanic looks a little repetitive. We're hoping our opinion will...
News Playstation Home Teases... Something? We're Not Quite Sure
If you haven't stopped by Playstation Home for a while, now might be the moment
There's a very stange "error" message on the news section of your PDA. We say "error" because it's blatantly been written in such a way to tease something. We'll be damned if we know what though. Perhaps that rumoured Firmware update?
News The First Killzone 2 Advert Is "Released"
It's getting close to the release of Killzone 2 now
Advertising has been sparse at the very least. Reviews dropped months ago. The hype has died down a bit. Well it had until we saw the above advert and got all excited again.

First Impressions Resistance Retribution on Playstation Portable
We're big fans of the Resistance series
We thoroughly enjoyed the slow-paced gameplay of Fall Of Man and loved the scale of Resistance 2. Hearing that the series was making it's way to the PSP we were mildly excited but somewhat sceptical. How the hell can they port a game like Resistance to the PSP? It's been done with mixed response. Resistance...

News 1.1 Million Killzone 2 Preorders In The Bag & Sony Are Like Boxers Going To The Final Round
Sony sure as hell love their boxing analogies
Personally we think they're both dumb and hilarious at the same time but we understand the point they're attempting to make. Much like a famous Call Of Duty 4 quote, Sony seem to think they may have "lost the battle but not the war". And what better bomb to drop than to claim Killzone 2 has had...

Killzone 2 wasn't advertised. Above you'll see a fans impression of what an advert for the game might have looked like. As a fans attempt we say it's actually pretty darn good to be honest. If Sony had stumped up the $5million required to advertise on America's biggest sporting event we'd have expected the ad to drop the...
News Sony Talk PlayStation 3 Sales & XBOX 360
Under performing?
We're not going to deny that we've found more than a little of the press surrounding the PS3 in these past few months a bit unfair. It's obvious Sony's system isn't selling anywhere near as well as many predicted but it's nowhere near dead in the water like some media outlets are trying to claim. So it's refreshing to see some of...
