Playing LittleBigPlanet On The PSP Go
LittleBigPlanet for the PSP packs all of the character and creation of the original into a more portable format, but the PSP Go’s button layout presented a small stumbling block.

Borderlands Eyes-On: Co-Op Fallout In Reverse
You’re in the wasteland, taking on quests, picking up look, and wandering around for miles, only this time you’re trying to get into the Vault.

Get Your Hands On Rachel In Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
Stopping by Tecmo today for a little hands-on with Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, I learned that everyone’s favorite ridiculously large-chested blonde is the third additional playable character in the PlayStation 3 exclusive remake.

Nintendo announces the Wii Vitality Sensor, a device that attaches to the tip of the player’s finger that measures their vital signs and helps them relax.
