Later this week, one of my most anticipated PS3 games makes its way to local retail shelves; LittleBigPlanet 2, sequel to Media Molecule’s exceptional Play.Create.Share title. While some found the title to be a bit boring, and Sackboy to have a bit of a floaty jump, they’ve obviously never played it co-operatively with 3 other people. Like it’s predecessor, LBP2 …

I’ve found them generally absurd, and unnecessarily convoluted. I am, however, a fan of Kojima’s other work – Games like Zone of the Enders, Boktai, Lunar kights and the more recent CastleVania Lords …
I’m going to file this one under the completely ludicrous tag but unfortunately it is going around so we are going to rehash it so that you can answer the nonsense being uttered at the water cooler. According to the rumour Sony decided it was a good idea to send Geohot $1 as a donation for hacking the PS3 to …

Former Bioware Xbox 360 exclusive (and one of our very favourite games from 2010), Mass Effect 2 will soon be making its appearance on Sony’s PS3. Bioware and publisher EA have celebrated …
Have you ever double-checked your doors at night because something just didn’t feel secure? …
