EXCLUSIVE REVEAL of PAIN'S Abusement Park level

PS3 Preview | PAIN - PS3 Network

It's been a good eight months since the anarchic, Jackass-inspired destruction-porn game PAIN hit the PlayStation Network, and the game is finally getting a second level. The good news is that the game's new playground - a massive, working indoor carnival called Abusement Park - is bigger, brighter and offers many more opportunities for bone-crunching hilarity than its predecessor. It'll also be released alongside two new characters (who we ...

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End -...

PS3 Preview | Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

Did you realize that the summer movie season begins next month? That means gigantic $200 million action-adventure sequels ready to decimate your eyeballs with spectacular CG eye-candy. One of these sequels, Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End will conclude not only the cliffhanger from last years extremely complicated Dead Mans Chest, but the entire trilogy as well. And while we could melt our brains trying to fathom how Jack Sparrow makes it out of the Kraken or why we have two British ...

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

PS3 Preview | Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

Did you play last year's Pirates game? Wasn't too hot, was it? Lots of running in a straight line and mindlessly mashing on the attack button. Oh, and turning the PS2 off, that happened a lot too. So why should you even glance at this year's? For starters, it's in new hands, so there's a tiny ray of hope right away. Second, this is the first time Jack and his not-quite-plundery-enough crew have appeared on next-gen systems, ready to awe us with their recreated face maps and wavy hair ...

PixelJunk Eden - hands-on

PS3 Preview | PixelJunk Eden - PS3 Network

If you've seen PixelJunk Eden, there's a 90% chance that your first reaction was, "What the CRAP is going on?" Fair enough. But we're here to tell you the answer: "Something you'll love, probably a lot more than you think you will." Like LocoRoco or the PSP should-be-classic Patapon, this game combines a captivating graphical style with atmospheric music (pulsating club sounds this time, not a choir of children) and simple-but-gripping ...

Far Cry 2 will make you a metaphorical monster

PS3 Preview | PlayStation 3

Jan 18, 2008 Despite outward similarities, this Ubisoft-developed sequel to Crytek's brilliant but flawed paradise island blaster will not be following in the footsteps of Crysis or the original Far Cry. Here the emphasis is on grimy realism, not sci-fi excess. In fact, Far Cry 2's creative director Clint Hocking draws intriguing parallels between his game and the theme of "man's inner madness" in the Joseph Conrad novel Heart Of Darkness, where monsters are metaphorical rather than ...

Previews Blowout

PS3 Preview | PlayStation 3

For all you gaming addicts looking for a fix, check out these treats: Opoona - Wii A very unusual little game for the Wii that combines community and relationship-building elements with a traditional RPG - a bit like, say, Animal Crossing but with a proper adventure to work through. Even better is the way it uses the Wiis Remote and Nunchuck, allowing you to move with the analog stick and battle by swinging the remote. Crazi Taxi: Fare Wars - PSP We reckon this is just about old enough now ...

Pre-E3 06: Sony lays down the law of PS3

PS3 Preview | PlayStation 3

Sony held its annual E3 press conference today and revealed the final details of the PlayStation 3 release. Here's what you need to know: the system will hit North America and Europe on November 17, while the Japanese get it on November 11. Here's the part that will make you cringe: when it hits, the system will be available in two packages, and neither of them come cheap. For $499, you'll be able to snag a PS3 that has a 20-gigabyte hard drive. For $599, you'll get one that has a 60-gigabyte ...

Pre-E3 06: Hands on with the new PlayStation 3...

PS3 Preview | PlayStation 3

It was the moment all of video gaming-dom has been waiting for since last E3: Sony's grand high mucky-muck Ken Kutaragi, on the stage of Sony's pre-E3 press conference, officially announced that the boomerang-shaped PS3 controller revealed last year was officially dead. Not only that, but the new controller design wasn't actually very new at all. When he trotted it out and said, "This is the final PlayStation 3 controller," the audience actually laughed. It turns out the PS3 controller looks ...

Portal - hands-on

PS3 Preview | Portal

Portal is a comedy puzzle game. A pretty black comedy, granted, but firmly a comedy. Most of the jokes revolve around you being lied to, killed, or thirsty to the point of delirium, but that wont stop you chuckling at least once per puzzle. In fact, thats usually the reason for it. The puzzle part youre hopefully familiar with from the trailer better yet, the 2005 prototype Narbacular Drop. Youve got a gun that opens rifts in any wall you shoot it at, and once youve opened two, you can walk ...
