Uh-Oh. Sony have made plenty of mistakes with the PlayStation 3, but one area where the system has experienced almost unanimous success over the last few years has been in the fight against piracy. Although other consoles have become fraught with widespread problems relating to pirated software, including Sony’s own PSP, the PlayStation 3 has …

No shooting,  maiming, or blowing things to bits. No beating anything to death with a shoehorn and arms will not be used for bludgeoning. Codemasters is releasing  F1-2010 on 22-September for all the major platforms (PS3, XBox 360, PC, Wii, PSP, Mac) which is in itself notable coverage and must have taken forever to get …

There’s a rumor – thanks 1UP – that a PS3-based, high-def collection of famed games Ico and Shadow of the Colossus will appear sometime in 2011, like the recent God of War HD collection. No official announcement has been made, but as 1UP points out, it would make fiscal sense for Team Ico to release …

In what could quite easily be a direct follow up to our last Wow, I Was NOT Expecting That post, Sony have finally placed an official rubber stamp of confirmation on Killzone 3, to the surprise of just about nobody. Indeed, there are more than a handful of parallels to be drawn with this announcement …

I bet if corporations could feel fear, nothing would make them tremble quite like the phrase “Class Action.” Sony Computer Entertainment just heard it, though; Slashdot reports that a gamer in California (natch) has filed the first class-action suit against the company for removing the “Install Other OS” feature in its latest PS3 firmware revision. …

Mat and I were talking about this just the other day, but the poor fellow had work then a soccer game, which doubtless delayed him. I’m hoping to see his first impressions of Square’s latest epic soon, but you know how those football fans are…

I was talking about Heavy Rain with MrLipid the other day and he asked me how I thought it’d wind up performing. It’s kind of a tricky question for this game, because general consensus seemed to be it’d either do quite well or go down in flames. I hedged my bets and said it would …

I’m a hypocrite.  I’ll freely admit it, and Gregg will merrily testify to it.  However, I like to think of it as willing to change ones mind, as and when new evidence comes to light, so to speak.  Still, contrary to my hatred for the Wii and its gimmick-gameplay(tm) I’ve actually started to like the …

Okay, okay, I’m behind on this one too. Look, I’ve got a lot of games to play. Some slip past. It happens. I’m only human, right? Thankfully there’s a jolly old elf who comes by my house every December in an attempt to rectify the fact that I miss a lot of games most people …

Atlus-published From Software’s Demon’s Souls arrives at retail in North America a la mañana, and the raves continue to pour in. I’ve seen nothing below an eight and plenty of 9.5s (and higher), all incongruously paired with statements like “the hardest game I’ve ever played,” “I’ve never felt frustration on this level,” and “brings new meaning to the word ‘grind.’”
