Earlier today I posted a piece on how the PSPgo is now dirt-cheap and comes bundled with free games. For those of you who already own a PSPgo, I could understand how that piece might have left you feeling a little miffed. Especially when you consider that you must have paid around R3000 for it and now it’s just so, …
Yep, that’s right. The Prince of Persia HD Trilogy is a go, kicking off with the first of the lot, Sands of Time. POP: Sands of Time is now available on the Playstation Network and features all those awesome things you would expect, like gameplay, story and oh yeah, HD graphics with 3DTV compatibility.

You must have heard of this game by now; as far as downloadable titles go, Dead Nation is the one that has me most excited. It’s made by Housemarque, the same Finnish team that brought you Super Stardust HD.

That considered, how do they justify the increase? It’s all about …
Perhaps you’ve heard of this Tokyo Jungle game; perhaps you haven’t! It’s bizarre in concept but so, SO cool at the same time. You choose a species of animal, be it an elephant, lion, chicken, porcupine, hell even a Pomeranian, and then you try to make it survive in a post-apocalyptic Tokyo. You’ll have to fight against the hordes of …
I really loved Enslaved. Sure, as a videogame it fell short in a few key areas, but as a story with great, interesting characters and a wonderful setting, it managed to hold a special place in my heart. Enslaved is also not the longest game in the world, but thanks to a new DLC pack that’s on the way, it …
