The PlayStation 2 is one of the most successful video game consoles of all time. Not only did it sell like crazy, but it had a library that was practically unmatched. That’s not to say that the GameCube and Xbox didn’t have some stellar games, but as far as the sixth generation in video games is concerned, the PlayStation 2 […]
Looks like you’ll be hearing more about Silent Hill Book of Memories at this year’s E3, rather than playing it. Konami’s confirmed that Silent Hill Book of Memories has been moved to October, according to a Game Informer report.

While the PSP may have been a great device with some outstanding games, it’s no secret that it hasn’t sold very well.

There’s no denying how impressive thatgamecompany’s Journey on the PlayStation Network really is.

There’s been rumors swirling that the Wii U isn’t much of a step-up tech-wise from PS3 and Xbox 360.
