What happens when a piece of entertainment transcends its natural barrier – in this case the player and the controller – and becomes something else entirely? This is a question that has raged in the games industry for years and continues to go criminally unanswered. Can a game be considered art? If you dismissed that thought, then I’ve got a [...]

Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) have been sending out emails inviting registered customers to change their account passwords as well as detailing the welcome back and identity protection programs. The identity protection program information also applies to PlayStation Network/Qriocity account holders. So much to my surprise I received my email from SOE yesterday. I don’t even remember creating an account with [...]

That does frequently mean, however, that you miss out on some interesting stuff. I’ve decided to do a daily news round-up post that pulls together the most useful, interesting or just plain weird things we hear [...]

Sony have announced that they are bundling a demo of Resistance 3 with the Blu-Ray of the Battle: Los Angeles movie, at least in the US edition. This is not the most surprising bit of news ever, seeing as the more eagle-eyed viewers will have spotted the giant Resistance 3 billboards in the film. Also, Sony Pictures made it. As [...]

So, if you own a PlayStation 3 or have tried to download anything onto your PSP or PSP Go over the past 6 days, you probably noticed that you couldn’t connect to the PlayStation Network servers. Sony have finally explained why the PSN was taken down on their official PlayStation blog. Basically, a hacker got into the system and probably [...]

Unsurprisingly, the release trailer for Killzone 3 features a massive amount of guns, violence, weapons, big machines, fights, explosions, buildings collapsing, kneecappings, jetpacks and Helghast. Yeah, I think that just about covers it. Killzone 3 is also PlayStation Move compatible, so here’s a reason to dust off and reconnect your PlayStation Eye and charge up those Move controllers. Is anyone [...]
