Every so often I have to admit that I get a review wrong. When I reviewed Dead or Alive 5 on the PlayStation 3, I’d plugged about 30 hours into it, and while I enjoyed it, it didn’t quite hook into me like I wanted it to. But this was…
Read MoreA quick note for our American readers – Atelier Totori Plus is now available on the US PlayStation Network. The game that scored an R18+ rating in Australia for sexual content (i.e extra swimsuit costumes while Tomb Raider gets an MA15+ rating for goreporn) was, according to our Twitter account,…
Read MoreToday’s announcement that not one, but three Hyperdimension games are headed to the PlayStation Vita (no word on a Western localisation, but surely…) is further evidence that the Vita is just now hitting its stride. Though the console never really took off in the west, the PSP was a big…

Read MoreIt has happened. Sony has formally unveiled the PlayStation 4. And, as interesting as its tech specs are, the real focus of the presentation was on features and social interaction. It’s a focus I had previously predicted in the lead up to the PlayStation 4 unveiling, and I think it’s…
Read MoreA couple of days out from its PlayStation 4 unveil, Sony has hosted a online briefing for the 2013 of its struggling Vita platform. Wow. Just wow. If there is any justice in this industry Sony is going to perform a complete 180 degree turn on the Vita and come…
