But, will this feel like more than


The reason behind the Killzone 2 delay is anti-climactic
2008-05-21 06:41:00
Some of you may be wondering why Killzone 2 was pushed back to February of 2009. It's not because the game is glitchy and needs extra work, or isn't performing up to the devs standards. Replying to comment #44, it seems SCEA looked at the Fall 2008 lineup and decided that there were enough high-profile titles (and two other shooters: SOCOM and Resistance 2) competing for holiday dollars. Killzone

2008-06-12 03:00:00
Many of you will be able to get your hands on Metal Gear Solid 4 tomorrow night at midnight. As we wait for this monumental event in PS3 history, we thought we'd take a look at the very first trailer for Metal Gear Solid 4. The debut of this anticipated PS3 game came after the release of MGS3 on PS2. In fact, the debut trailer reveals nothing about the game, using assets from the PS2 adventure. It


Game Informer gets inFAMOUS
2008-06-11 05:30:00
It's been awhile since we heard from Sucker Punch about their upcoming PS3 game, inFAMOUS. Well, looks like the shroud of secrecy will be lifted in the July issue of Game Informer. The cover confirms that this will be a "sandbox game" (a la Grand Theft Auto IV). However, you will have "extraordinary powers" that come from a "cataclysmic explosion." It's looking dark, it's looking epic ... and it's

2008-06-13 03:05:00

These new Legendary screens are lycanthropic
2008-06-18 22:01:00
A new batch of screenshots for the upcoming Pandora's-Box-em-up, Legendary , show off a few of the supernatural enemies you'll be encountering in the game. We're still so very pleased that they dropped the ridiculous "The Box" subtitle. We can't help but feel that Legendary will be just another FPS that doesn't manage to raise itself above the rest of the genre's noise. Having said that, these scr


Way of the Samurai 3 spreading bushido love on PS3
2008-06-17 23:20:00
Remember Tenchu? It was a ninja stealth-action game that the PlayStation birthed. It was fun and had a couple of sequels -- offspring, if we want to continue the analogy. Well, that franchise has gone to the Wii and Acquire seemed to leave the PlayStation behind. Not so! Way of the Samurai 3 is making its way to the PS3 to be published by Spike in Japan this year, according to Famitsu. Visuals ge

2008-06-20 22:20:00
