Launched in Japan late last year, Sony’s PS3-powered AdHoc Party service enables gamers to go online with select ad-hoc only PSP titles, such as Monster Hunter. If a recent trademark listing is any indication, Sony may have plans to extend availability of the service abroad.

The list of big hitters for the remainder of this year suffers yet another casualty, as Sega announced today that its stylish action title Bayonetta has been pushed back to January 2010 in North America. However, the title is still scheduled for an October 29 over in Japan, leading us to believe this is more of a marketing decision, not […]

This week is sales extravaganza on the PlayStation Store, as Sony has cut the price of several popular PSN titles for a limited time only. Digital hits like WipEout HD, Flock!, PixelJunk Eden, and Crash Commando all are a part of this promotion. These titles can be had for up to 50 percent off the original price. Apart from hot […]

NPD numbers for June are in, painting a somber picture. Although up from the always-sluggish month of May, sales were down 31 percent compared to last year’s figures. On a year-over-year basis, all platforms incurred a hit in unit sales over last June with the exception of Xbox 360. Despite this, Nintendo still dominated the charts, shifting a combined total […]

There’s a slew of hits due out this holiday season, almost too many to count. With such a crowded slate of releases, it’s safe to presume that at least one of them would end up suffering from a delay. Sure enough, publisher Take-Two today announced during an investor conference call that it is backpedaling on the release date of BioShock […]

Developer Media Molecule is working on a “Game of the Year” edition of last year’s hit world-creation title LittleBigPlanet. MCV reports that the repackaged PS3 title will sport “much” of the downloadable content already released on PSN thus far. There’s been oodles of DLC released since LittleBigPlanet’s inception, so even including just a third of it on disc would serve […]

With the arrival of EA’s Battlefield 1943, there are 1943 reasons to log-on to the PlayStation Store today. OK, not really, but this week’s round of offerings are nothing to scoff at. For those looking for a more lighthearted multiplayer experience, trivia title Buzz! Junior: RoboJam is up for grabs. And if you aren’t completely sold on it, a playable […]

While Infinity Ward’s latest has widely been referred to as only Modern Warfare 2, it appears that publisher Activision isn’t taking chances with leaving the fabled Call of Duty moniker absent for the game’s retail release. This comes amid analyst concerns that doing so would hurt brand awareness, possibly resulting in less sales. Community manager Robert Bowling today posted up […]

With Modern Warfare 2 poised to become one of this year’s largest blockbusters according to Activision PR, the company is ensuring that no overlap occurs within its vast library of upcoming releases. That means time-bending, genre crossing title Singularity is being moved from its scheduled fall 2009 release date to early 2010.

Clearly whoever is managing the Twitter account over at EA’s UK PR division has an itchy finger, as a tweet went up today “announcing” that Command & Conquer 4 is in development at the company’s Los Angeles studio. Unfortunately, we are still empty handed with info, as the press release linked in the tweet redirects to a nonexistent URL, leading […]

Speaking in a recent interview with PC World, PlayStation Network director Eric Lempel weighed in on the infamous PS3 clock overlay glitch that cropped up when in-game XMB functionality was added. For those not clued up on the situation at hand, when pressing the PS button while in-game the battery indicator overlaps that of the clock overlay for a couple […]

If a report from Taiwan-based finance site UDN is to be believed, the much-rumored PS3 Slim model has entered the production phase and units will be ready to ship by July at the earliest.

It’s no secret that the lack of PS2 emulation on newer PS3 units is a bit of a put-off to prospective purchasers. Especially when considering that majority of would-be PS3 owners are those that own a large library of PS2 titles. Granted, not being able to play those games isn’t a deal breaker for most, but it certainly makes laying […]
