PS3 Previews

Ubisoft recently introduced I Am Alive with this quote from Italian socialist author Ignazio Silone: “An earthquake achieves what the law promises but doesn’t in practice maintain – the equality of all men.”

Despite being downgraded to an XBLA/PSN download after having initially been announced as a full-scale AAA game, I Am Alive has managed to grab our interest again. Yesterday, we got our first look at the post-apocalyptic survival game, and saw four different areas that gave us a good picture of I Am Alive's tense – and often bloody – gameplay...

It’s that time of year again. E3 is coming and the hype train is beginning to hiss. In preparation for this year’s maelstrom of new video game delights, which starts on June the 15th, we’re running a twice-weekly series of features highlighting the big hitters you’ll want to keep an eye on at the show.

Some you’ll know, some you won’t, but all will require your complete and undivided attention. So tune in to GamesRadar every Wednesday and Saturday, and have that attention primed and ready.

Today, we’re looking at Team Ico's upcoming etheral adventure, The Last Guardian, which is being released exclusively for the PS3.

Ico and Shadow of the Colossus in HD: What more do you need to know?

Sony’s latest expedition into the past has brought back Team Ico’s critically acclaimed PlayStation 2 games: Shadow of the Colossus and Ico, both of which could use a little cleaning up for the current generation...

Fighter planes have been landed without propulsion; with wings shredded by enemy fire; with tail sections shattered by flak; with bullet holes peppering the fuel tanks and engine. World War II is a goldmine of tales of daring escapes and miraculous landings in direct defiance of the laws of physics. The real world can be weird in a way videogames can’t – at least until now.

Since it was first unveiled last year, we’ve seen InFamous 2 bring a lot of cool enhancements to the first game’s formula – a livelier city, more diverse enemies, better visuals, super-powered sidekicks and improved combat, for starters.
