We’re on to you. We’ve noticed you casting a roving eye over recent announcements of price cuts, seen you ogle the unveiling of lithe younger models. Yes, even you, 360 fanboy, the one who said the PS3 had no games. We caught you looking longingly at LittleBigPlanet’s Sackboy, imagining the things you would do to him if only you could get him online. ... » Read More

PS3 Feature | God of War 3

The God of War III demo is currently as rare as a hair on our favourite slaphead's skull.

Thankfully, we were fortunate enough to get our sweaty mitts on the game and below you'll see the evidence of the demo's ... » Read More

Predictions for gaming's biggest sequels

PS3 Feature | God of War 3

Anticipation is supposedly sweet, but you know what? Instant gratification is a hell of a lot sweeter. Sure, we could sit patiently and wait for official announcements on our favorite franchises. We could avoid assumption, steer clear of speculation and only publish our opinion when it’s unequivocally backed by cold, hard press release fact. That wouldn’t be nearly as much fun, though. ... » Read More

Comic-Con 2009: 5 most important missed stories

PS3 Feature | God of War 3

For decades, the San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) was only known as the best place for avid comic fans (aka virgins) to waste tons of money on more comic books than they needed. But in the last 10 years, other bits of geekery have been seeping in, including anime, Dungeons & Dragons and even videogames. ... » Read More

If video game characters were Pokemon

PS3 Feature | God of War 3

PS3 Feature | God of War 3

Contrary to what you might think, E3 isn’t all brilliant new games, booth babes and free beer. A lot of the time the biggest, best and most exciting games event on the planet is actually as dull and hope-dashing as a Sony graph-led press conference.
