I still don’t quite understand where the R18+ rating for Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus came from. This is a game that features violence, but even with the PlayStation Vita enhancements the violence is aging quite badly. It’s more amusing like when an anvil lands on Wile E Coyote’s head…
Read MoreSony is really working hard for its fans. PlayStation Plus is without a doubt a high-value service, turning hundreds of dollars of games into a single, small, subscription cost. There’s more though. Sony’s answer to the PlayStation Network hack of some years ago was to give away games. Last year…
Read MoreOf all the JRPGs that I have played in this generation, the Atelier games by the tiny development outfit, GUST, have been the ones that I have enjoyed the most.

Read MoreLet’s chalk up another win for gamer entitlement taking over rational thought; following Sony’s rather spectacular unveiling of the PlayStation 4, a group of gamers spat the dummy because Sony didn’t show the actual PlayStation 4 box. It’s one of those moments where I quite genuinely felt an urge to…
Read MoreAnd I thought the PlayStation 4 announcement couldn’t get more exciting… CD Projekt Red, the makers of the Witcher games, and thus the guys that made the best Western RPG in the past generation (The Witcher 2) have announced that The Witcher 3 will be making an appearance on the…
Read MoreThere has been a lot of conversation taking place since Sony’s conference last night, which ran a little over two hours.
