The clip showcases a few impressive additions that are sure to make the land of Skyrim even more plentiful with things to do. The plot in Dawnguard seems to revolve around two groups. The titular Dawnguard are feuding with a clan of […]
I have to admit I was pretty bummed out when I heard that Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition was headed to the PC with extra content not seen in the console versions. The idea of extra bosses, areas, NPCs, and enemies in Dark Souls for PC just made it seem as though I was missing out by owning the […]

Following in the footsteps of Dragon’s Lair, Rayman Origins is slowly making its way to every single platform known to man. Yesterday, it was revealed via the PlayStation Blog that Ubisoft’s delightful 2D platforming romp was made available on the PlayStation Network. And yes, I’m well aware that that’s just an extension of the PlayStation 3, but still (argument of […]

ZeniMax has been on a trademarking spree over the past couple of months. First, “Fus Ro Dah” became an official trademark of the company last month. Then, not too long ago, ZeniMax set out to copyright the term “Dragonborn.” Now, a trademark for “Hearthfire” has been filed, reports Fusible. If you’re a Skyrim fan, you’re probably aware that Hearthfire is […]
Is PlayStation Plus getting a makeover? It certainly looks that way. According to sources close to Eurogamer, Sony will make a major announcement regarding its paid online service next week during its E3 press conference. Sony will reportedly attempt to woo gamers by offering Plus subscribers free downloads of top games. Consider me wooed — where’s my credit card? Plus […]
It looks like PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale might not be exclusive to the PlayStation 3. As discovered by The Gaming Liberty, the LinkedIn CV of Sony’s Robert Krekel indicates that the crossover fighter is likely to land on the PlayStation Vita, as well. To further provide evidence that Sony will be releasing a portable version of PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, […]
If you’re a PlayStation 3 owner looking for an indie fix, or a PlayStation Vita adopter who wants to put those dual analog sticks to good use, you should definitely watch out for Big Sky: Infinity. Originally released for the PC as Really Big Sky, this indie twin-stick shooter will see some updates when it hits the PlayStation Network. Developer […]
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning 2 was in pre-production, sources told Joystiq. Currently, the IP is owned by 38 Studios, and it’s very likely that the recent controversy surrounding the company will result in the state of Rhode Island government obtaining ownership of the franchise. It really is a shame that that’s the case, because Kingdoms of Amalur was well received […]

The game, which is currently available for PC, takes the classic Breakout formula and adds some small RPG touches, enhancing the experience and making it much more than your average block-breaking experience.

According to Arvind Bhatia, an analyst at Sterne Agee, Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto V will sell 14 million copies during its launch period, reports GameSpot. A year after Grand Theft Auto IV launched in 2008, the game managed to ship 13 million units, so Bhatia is clearly estimating figures based on the numbers produced by the last entry in […]
While Lollipop Chainsaw may very well be industry genius Suda51’s most mainstream game, that doesn’t mean it won’t be rife with weird themes and crazy situations. The bosses, for example, all appear to have some pretty “out there” designs, and the battles themselves look like they could be some of the strangest of any game this year. A trailer for […]
id Software’s output has been almost nil this generation, releasing only a single title — RAGE. While it was an ambitious title in terms of tech, Carmack and co even admitted the development cycle took far longer than planned. Not surprisingly, the company is anxious to move on, as its already looking to get a jump start on the next-generation […]
In a truly commendable move, Atlus has announced that it will once again extend online server support for Demon’s Souls in North America. The servers were originally scheduled to shut down on May 31, 2012. Atlus plans to continue maintaining the servers for the “foreseeable future,” provided user activity and interest remain constant. Considering Atlus is a smaller publisher, we’re sure a […]
A patent filed by Sony in 2011 has been discovered and made public on NeoGAF. The patent is for in-game advertising. Now, I’m not talking about shameless ads on posters or billboards within a game’s world. No, this patent idea is much sleazier. Titled Advertisement Scheme for Use with Interactive Content (that’s funny because it would be a damn scheme), […]

I was originally going to use GIMP to add a PlayStation 3 logo to the image above, but I got lazy. Plus, that’s so cliche! So yeah, here are some pretty clouds for you to look at! You’re welcome! Now that we’ve gotten through that awkward introductory paragraph, let’s talk Sony! Rumors have surfaced indicating that the PlayStation 3 and […]
The Silent Hill HD Collection should have been a love letter to fans, but instead, it turned out to be a technical disaster on many levels. Missing textures and crackling audio was just the tip of the iceberg. What went wrong? Senior associate producer on the project, Tomm Hulett, has revealed to 1UP that Konami’s porting crew had to work off […]
