New “Department” at the PlayStation Store: The Capcom Storefront- I’m loving what the team is doing for the PlayStation Store.  I admit that I’ve forgotten whether this is applying to all versions of the Store, or just the US version.  My brain’s scrambled these days!  I’m particularly impressed with all the dev replies in the [...]

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 [...]

Burnout Paradise becomes a PSN download this Fall- Cool, the PlayStation Store could do with more full PS3 games (that go to retail stores as boxed versions) as digital distribution is the way forward.  Seriously, what’s the harm in doing both?  Warhawk and Gran Turismo 5 Prologue are great examples.

Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty clocks in at 2.3GB- With a 40GB hard drive in my PS3, I’m thinking I need to upgrade to a more spacious size!  That reminds me, I must get round to buying Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction.  Found out from testfreaks.co.uk that I can get it for as [...]

Valve reiterates Portal: Still Alive not coming to PSN- This is a real shame, as it would have been a great addition to the range of games available on the PlayStation Network.  Can anyone tell me though, why does Valve hate the PlayStation 3 so much?  Seriously?
