PS3 Preview | 007: Quantum of Solace

We last saw him in Casino Royale staring down the barrel of a gun at terrorist kingpin Mr White, shortly after shooting him in the leg - and the next film's going to kick off with Bond interrogating the murdering scumbag at MI6. The game, meanwhile, straddles both films - the developers have been to the sets of both, taking hundreds of reference photos since early in Casino's production - although because of security restrictions around Solace, most of the levels we've seen are from Casino Royale. ...

PS3 - 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand  - 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand

10 minutes into being shown 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand by developer Swordfish Studios (who thankfully had nothing to do with the terrible Bulletproof) we got the strangest feeling that this self-proclaimed 'long awaited' sequel might actually be, well, a pretty decent arcade shooter. ...

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. But you still dig the idea of playing online with other human beings, so what are you to do? Might we suggest you start frothing at the mouth over publisher Sony Online's new spy-vs-spy online espionage 'em-up The Agency? That's what we're doing. The Agency ...

PS3 Preview | Aliens: Colonial Marines
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. ...
