  • Gamescom 2011: Resistance 3 Preview

    The story continues in Resistance 3, with a new setting, a new hero, and a new art style. The Resistance series has been a main stay of the PlayStation 3, starting with launch-title Resistance: Fall of Man five years ago, and continues with the third iteration, Resistance 3, this year. Starting...

  • Escape Plan Preview

    The Sony Conference at Gamescom this year has seen the announcement of a brand new IP for the PlayStation Vita. From the producers and developers of Fat Princess comes Escape Plan, which tells the story of Lil and Laarg, as they try and make their escape from an unknown and dingy death trap in a mon...

  • Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time Preview

    Sly Cooper is back, and brings a new wardrobe along with the usual array of great levels and humour along with him in the stealthy raccoon's latest endeavour, Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time. For fans of the series, the fourth entry in this celebrated action-platform franchise has been a long time co...

  • Ghost Recon: Future Soldier Preview

    It's been a while since the last Ghost Recon game, Advanced Warfighter 2, arrived on the scene, and even Future Soldier itself has been in the works for some time now. This prolonged development seems to have paid off though, with Ubisoft implementing key elements from recent military shooters to cr...

  • Bodycount - Hands-on Preview

    It can be really disheartening when you try your level best only to be slapped in the face with the news that you simply aren’t good enough. In Bodycount, Codemaster’s latest first-person shooter, that was ever apparent as we ended our first ever mass slaughter of hundreds of local m...

  • Journey Hands-on Preview

    Being such a big fan of thatgamecompany’s previous titles – namely Flower and Flow - I couldn't wait to get my hands on Journey. Needless to say, my expectations were not let down after getting some hands-on time with the game during the recent beta session. Journey starts off very s...

  • E3 2011: XCOM, the thinking man's shooter

    In 2K Marin’s XCOM reboot, the idyllic suburbs of 1962 America are irreparably transformed by an arcane alien invasion. These aliens aren’t the creepy critters of Aliens vs. Predator or the anthropomorphic Helghast of Killzone — no, they’re much more mysterious. At first glan...

  • E3 2011: Need for Speed: The Run Hands-on Preview

    The last thing a good racing franchise needs is out-of-car quicktime events to weave together some loose narrative. That was my initial reaction when I saw a video demonstration of EA’s Need for Speed: The Run, and after some hands-on time with the game during E3, I’m still not compl...

  • E3 2011: Ghost Recon: Future Soldier Hands-on Preview

    Ghost Recon: Future Soldier puts an enormous emphasis on teamwork. I got a chance to check out this refocused attention during a hands-on demo of the game during E3, and while it’s clear more work is needed before its 2012 release, there is a great deal of potential in that basic co-op con...

  • E3 2011: WipEout 2048 Hands-on Preview

    Sony’s new PlayStation Vita stole the show. Like every other person with a media badge at E3 this year, I wanted to get my grubby hands on the successor to the PSP. While our time at Sony’s booth included hands-on demos with PlayStation 3 games, the new PlayStation TV, and even some 3...

  • E3 2011: LittleBigPlanet Vita Hands-on Preview

    LittleBigPlanet Vita, like LittleBigPlanet PSP before it, brings Sony’s lovable Sackboy into the portable realm. I played a level of the game at E3 2011 which made brilliant use of Vita’s expanded feature set. Placing Vita’s bevy of unique features — not to mention its enh...

  • E3 2011: FIFA 12 Hands-on Preview

    Every new FIFA game brings about some relatively subtle, yet generally welcome changes. However, the changes present in EA Sports’ latest offering, FIFA 12, are anything but subtle. Sure, the game still looks relatively unchanged from a visual perspective, but drop into a match with your favor...

  • E3 2011: Rocksmith Hands-on Preview

    Rocksmith has the potential to create hundreds of thousands of new guitar players. On the surface it may look like a Guitar Hero or Rock Band knock-off, but the simple act of using a real guitar is only the slightest feature that sets this game apart. In my hands-on time with Rocksmith, I felt like ...

  • E3 2011: Dust 514 to continue evolving past its release date

    Dust 514, an upcoming PlayStation 3 shooter from the folks at CCP (Crowd Control Production) Games, aims to blend the line between massively multiplayer online games and first-person shooters. It’s not an MMOFPS, per say, but rather a persistent online shooter that interacts with CCP’s e...

  • E3 2011: Ninja Gaiden III Hands-on Preview

    Ryu Hayabusa is back, and he’s as bloodthirsty as ever. In Tecmo Koei’s Ninja Gaiden 3 demo at E3 2011, Team Ninja’s slick hero shows off a few of his old tricks — and some new ones, too. It begins with Ryu base-jumping off a massive building — without a chute, of c...
