PS3 Preview | Afro Samurai
PS3 - Afro Samurai - Afro Samurai - first impressions

After Afro’s father, the number one warrior in a futuristic, feudal Japan, is cut down by a ruthless gunman named Justice, you should expect vengeance to be had. And because Afro is voiced by Samuel L. Jackson, the biggest badass on stage and screen, eloquent swears will flow just as copiously as ninja blood. Based on the manga and anime of the same name, Afro Samurai tasks you with slicing through anyone unfortunate enough to stand in ...

PS3 - Age of Booty - PS3 Network - Age of Booty – hands-on

Online gaming has become a dark, slimy place where only the best of the best dare to enter. Well, maybe it’s not that bad, but with all of those preteen experts cursing like pirates, it sure is an annoying place. If you’re looking for a less soul-crushing multiplayer experience, then the newbie-friendly Age of Booty might be worth looking into.  ...

PS3 - The Agency - The Agency

Sony Online Entertainment have been behind the mighty EverQuest, the thoroughly messed-up Star Wars Galaxies, and the innovative online FPS PlanetSide, so you can be sure it was a big deal when they announced a brand-new MMO late last year. In The Agency, you get to live the life of a James Bond-style agent taking sides with one of two organisations, arming yourself with some cool gadgets and modern weaponry to defeat ridiculous world-domination plots in a fast-paced shooter with the persistence of an online game. ...

PS3 Preview | The Agency
Firstly, The Agency is online only, and as such offers something very unique to PS3 gaming. Depending on your agency affiliation, U.N.I.T.E. or ParaGON, you'll get to play through different missions, branching between public and private portals, squad play and 32-player skirmishes. What your character wears will determine the style of missions you'll play in. If you leave home dressed head to toe in camo gear you'll be tackling gung-ho, commando missions; dress in figure-hugging black, and ...

PS3 Preview | The Agency
So, you're tired of whacking medieval fantasy creatures over the head with various bladed whuppin' sticks, and you've logged so many hours playing deathmatch and capture the flag that you can identify a game by the sound of its guns.

PS3 - Aliens: Colonial Marines - Aliens: Colonial Marines

We know what you’re thinking - is Gearbox’s Aliens going to be Brothers in Arms in space? Despite using the same engine (Unreal 3) and sharing Col. John Antal as military consultant, we’re pleased to say that the similarities between the two aren’t overbearing. The developer certainly has a challenge in giving one of the most inspirational movies ever a fresh spin, particularly when almost every sci-fi FPS has borrowed some element from the franchise. ...

PS3 Preview | Alone in the Dark

Since inventing the survival-horror genre 16 years ago, the Alone in the Dark series has been defined mainly by creeping around in dimly lit corridors and hoping something didn't lurch out of the shadows to gnaw your face off. The creators of the new Alone in the Dark, however, want you to know that crawling through claustrophobic spaces won't be the focus this time around - and to hammer that point home, they'll literally tear those spaces ...

PS3 Preview | Alone in the Dark
PS3 - Alone in the Dark - Alone in the Dark When every day heralds a near-endless procession of videogames to peer at, you quickly learn how to sift the good from the garbage. A particularly telling sign is when, as a game is demoed to you, your glaringly empty hands start to itch. Because you really want to play this one. Which is exactly how we felt during a recent eyes-on with Alone in the Dark. ...
