LittleBigPlanet is here, and gamers everywhere are giddy with excitement- and that’s just the adults! Children are going to love this game, as in fact, will anyone really. From what I’ve experienced, I can totally see how this can be a cult classic for the cool, hardcore gamers, but still be fun for all the [...]

There have been a couple of articles that have piqued my interest recently; one from Rockers Delight (excellent blog, go read now if you haven’t already done so) and another from PS3 Fanboy. Rather than address each point separately, I’d like to make this one big article on my thoughts about brands in the games [...]

After a short delay due to an offending soundtrack, LittleBigPlanet is officially out now in the UK. I had been wondering when exactly to post this, as across different markets, retailers in some instances have chosen to sell LittleBigPlanet early anyway. So I’ve settled for the official (revised) release date in the UK, which is [...]
Grand Theft Auto IV PS3 Trophies this Monday- As a gamer who hasn’t spent much time on GTA IV at all, this is the incentive I need to sink some hours into it. With many gamers who have already completed GTA IV not fancying playing through it again for the Trophies, is this a stroke [...]
Three Speech Title Round-Up- It just goes to show what great games are going to be released on the PS3 in the next couple of months or so. My favourites I’m looking forward to though? Has to be Resistance 2, LittleBigPlanet, and BioShock. Those are my dream three. Right there.
Three Developers Explain LittleBigPlanet Level Design to a 7-Year-Old- Kotaku shows why LittleBigPlanet will open the PLAYSTATION brand to such a wide audience, and why the rest of the gaming industry should be afraid. There’s also some neat level design tips for the rest of us!
Coming Out of the Shadows: Rusty Buchert Talks Latest Project- Sure, when it comes to games consoles, I’m quite biased. But if this is not innovation of the art form, I don’t know what is. Innovation these days seems to be on the PS3 and the Wii.
See the Official PlayStation Bluetooth Headset- An informative video of the new headset. My only gripe, is why was this not available sooner?! The Xbox 360 has had a unified online strategy, and the hardware to back it up from day one!
Make your PLAYSTATION Eye work on Windows- Now this is cool, props off to the very talented guy who made this work; some great backwards-engineering. Obviously the camera will work on any computer potentially, but Sony has not made any drivers for anything apart from the PLAYSTATION 3. The question is, will any computer users [...]
Buzz!: Quiz TV Special Edition arrives for the holidays- Looks sweet! Has everything I’d want and need: wireless Buzz! controllers, some extra content, and PLAYSTATION Eye compatibility. I just need it at the right price, then I might get it this Christmas.
LittleBigPlanet: Public Beta Madness!- Sounds great, especially for those (me included) who missed out on the Eurogamer giveaway. Shame I’m now about 50 miles away from my PS3. I’ll just have to wait till my copy arrives, and when I’m back home for the weekend.
Everything you wanted to know about PlayTV but were afraid to ask- A very comprehensive Q&A about PlayTV. Well worth a read as these guys pull no punches with the questions! I’ll be picking up PlayTV when it comes down in price, and when I get round to fitting a bigger hard drive in my [...]
