While it’s not quite “the most exciting news to hit PlayStation Home since Open Beta”, as Sony would like you to believe, the addition of photo sharing to the service is still appreciated. PlayStation Home users will, as of later today, be able to display personal pictures in their Home apartment. Ever wanted to see…
To go with the announcement of a rough release timeframe for the game, Microsoft also released some screenshots of Final Fantasy XIII running on the Xbox 360. Can you spot the differences? Because, uh, we can’t. Especially since only one of them is an in-game shot.
Bioshock didn’t excel as a shooter. It excelled as a narrative, Rapture acting as a living, breathing story. So it’s a little strange seeing part of the game reduced to a standard multiplayer shooter. 2K showed us a few rounds of Bioshock 2’s multiplayer component yesterday, and in doing so, have revealed an aspect of…
Funny thing, making a sequel to Mafia. A game that, for all its innovation, has been forgotten in the wake of the Grand Theft Auto series. Hopefully the same fate doesn’t await Mafia II. Because from what I saw of the game today, it’s looking like a game that may actually challenge, and in some…
A new Castlevania game, some new screenshots. Such is the way of the world. OK, so the game’s not new, but the Castlevania bit is. And these screens are, too.
I got a chance to finally get around the showroom floor and play some games today. Fortunately for me, the first one I got to play was Batman: Arkham Asylum. What Is It? It’s a Batman game that doesn’t suck. It’s a little bit Splinter Cell, it’s a little bit Batman punching men in the…
The problem with this game is all in the name. LEGO Rock Band makes you wonder “why LEGO?” Maybe “Rock Band: Play Rock Band With Your Kids” would have been better. Because if you don’t have kids, this game is largely pointless. It’s Rock Band, except with a more pedestrian songlist, and no real changes…
Hideo Kojima just took the stage at Konami’s E3 press conference, and announced that he’s working on four new titles. Not one. Not two. Not three. Four. Does he ever sleep? The first, and only really new title, is called Metal Gear Arcade, which is Metal Gear Online optimised for coin-op arcade play. The game…
Square Enix are hosting a little press conference this morning to expand upon yesterday’s announcement of Final Fantasy XIV, and specifically, to clear up any “confusion” surrounding the game’s “exclusivity”. Fat lot of good that’s done them, since by issuing a statement they’ve only made things more confusing. See, they’d like to clarify yesterday’s announcement…
I was lucky enough to get the chance to check out Final Fantasy XIII in action on the PS3 yesterday, as well as speak with director Motomu Toriyama & producer Yoshinori Kitase. Well, I got to check it out eventually. I was kept waiting for over 30 minutes thanks to an insane level of security…
This one kind of passed us all by first time around, but if you look closely at the Gran Turismo 5 trailer from Sony’s E3 press conference yesterday, you can clearly see some car damage. We’ve provided a screengrab above, but if you want to see it for yourself, head to the Subaru rally sequence…
The Beatles: Rock Band has been playable at E3 this week. So, being fans of both The Beatles and Rock Band, we figured we’d go check it out. Thing is, while “we” may be fans of The Beatles, “I” am not. I don’t hate them, just…never got into them. Which puts me in a unique…
Final Fantasy XIII is due in Japan later this year. And in North America during Spring, 2010. But when can Europeans (and by extension, Australians) get their hands on it? Do they dare to hope for a speedier turnaround? After all, the last core Final Fantasy title, FFXII, was released in Europe a whole year…
Between the two main games, there are a lot of Rock Band songs. Between them and the add-on discs there’s more. Throw in the DLC and there’s tons. So many they can fill a wall. This monstrous display dominates The Beatles Rock Band area of MTV’s E3 stand, and is pretty damn impressive. So I…
.html It’s as advertised. Four minutes of Modern Warfare 2 footage. May contain traces of snow/bullets.
.html When Team Ico’s Last Guardian was known to us as Project Trico, it had a pretty rough trailer. Still impressive, but, yeah, rough. Now it’s been cleaned up! Rumour was that the leaked clip was from around a year ago, so Team Ico have had plenty of time to pass a few more renders…
Speaking at a small roundtable conference this afternoon, Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto has said that while a new Zelda game for the Wii was not at this year’s E3, he hopes to announce it next year. And to prove he’s not kidding around, the series creator brought in a piece of concept art for the game,…
When you think Bethesda, you think sprawling role-playing games, open worlds full of quests, and monsters, and orchestral scores. You do not think of fast-paced RPG shooters. Yeah, RPG shooters. That blend elements of singleplayer FPS games, multiplayer deathmatchers and more than a few roleplaying customs as well. If that sounds confusing to read, don’t…
Microsoft’s Larry Hryb just posted a little note on his Twitter account, saying that the original Perfect Dark – originally released on the N64 – will be out on Xbox Live Arcade later this year. According to Hryb, it’s running in 1080p, and will be out this “Winter”. The news isn’t surprising, since it’s been…
