St. Patrick’s Day is approaching and to commemorate this time of year when the Irish stock-pile alcohol and prepare for armageddon, there’s a new Sackboy costume.
And it’s free! Begorah!
It has been some time since the PlayStation 3 was graced with any kind of flight action game.
Now the balance has been redressed with the arrival of a new title in the Tom Clancy franchise.
So does Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X. – which for the purposes of saving our fingers will be simply called HAWX from now on – reach for the sky? Or is it just SAM fodder?
ORiGO Games have been hard at work on DataFly since 2005 with nary a whisper from them since 2006. Now it seems that they are gearing up to finally show off what they have been hard at work on for the past four years. Unfortunately, they have encrypted the teasing information within three images. What do they mean?
Since the PS3 was announced, Sony has continually marketed the console as a multi-media device and not just for gaming.
However the PlayStation brand is so strongly associated with gaming it is not so easy to simply shrug off this image and display a more rounded, entertainment-based persona.
With so many other media options available, should Sony focus only on gaming?
We’ve seen Sackboy traverse the African safari, pilot a spaceship, and even battle a ferocious dragon but now we will witness him take on his biggest challenge yet; a hole in one on course 7. That’s right, our favorite little creature will be taking a break from LittleBigPlanet and playing a few rounds in Hot Shots Golf 5.

Mars is coming to the PS3 in all its red-tinted HD glory in the form of new game, ‘Mars’. The game is set to put you in the shoes of one of two characters and send you off out into a blend of RPG and Beat-em-all. What does that mean, exactly?
Our latest Killzone 2 fix comes to you in the form of a Q&A from the developers themselves, Guerrilla Games. We had to track them down deep in the jungles of the Amazon region of Colombia; we had full network coverage the whole trip so it was ok. That Amsterdam headquarters is a front to confuse ‘the man’.
We talk about lessons learned from Killzone 1 and Killzone: Liberation, the inspiration behind Killzone 2′s Warzone online mode, and even take a challenge from Guerrilla Games. But what about the elephant in the room (aka the E3 2005 footage)? Did we dare bring it up? We’ll make you find out the hard way…
Superheroes are all the rage these days. Speaking of rage, we have a new trailer for X-Men Origins: Wolverine and boy is it slashtastic.
Watch as Logan rips apart wave after wave of soldiers and goes head to head with a helicopter. This trailer is the first to showcase the gameplay and Dan Vondrak, the Project Lead, wants to usher it in with a bang.
Check it out in all its adamantium glory…
Soon after the North America PlayStation.com PSN makeover, it is Europe’s turn later this week.
So what exactly is new? Well, the official PlayStation signatures are getting improved, with an expanded edition which displays trophy information, as well as showing your last 3 games you played – sweet!
But there’s more…
Japanese gamers have been gifted with the PlayStation Home ‘Namco Museum’ arcade and space for some time now.
Currently, the only method for users outside of this region to play the arcade machines on their accounts is if they have a separate Japanese PSN account on their PS3, and obtain them this way.
Good news surfaced today!

We’ve gone behind the scenes of Killzone 2 with Guerrilla Games to reveal some of the secret features and development tricks used to create the best FPS title on the PlayStation 3.
If you ever wondered how they made those amazing weapons (the answer isn’t what you would expect) or what secrets are behind some of the more ‘obscure’ characters, now is your chance to find out…
Neil Alphonso, the lead designer for Killzone 2 has decided to leave Guerilla Games and will continue with Splash Damage.

With a PSN game available and the movie being marketed inside Home like the end is nigh, Watchmen has had a fair amount of exposure across our favourite console platform.
Friend of the site and movie reviewer Cleric20 of Dark Matters has given us the inside scoop on whether you ought to be watching the Watchmen, or if the silver-screen version of one of the most celebrated novels of all time (graphic or otherwise) dies a super-hero death.
The SOCOM server guys have been hard at work reconfiguring the farm with the happy news today (or yesterday, whatever) that, not only have they completely eradicated the rogue region based latency issue, but they’ve also tweaked a whole bunch of other known problems, forging together a new release (1.41 if you’re still counting) that promises to finally make SOCOM be the best it can be.
Or, failing that, a robust online experience would suffice.
Many companies, websites, and people in the game industry use Twitter to tell fans about what is happening in their world, and Insomniac are one of those.
Today, they made a post informing everyone that they have some information to be revealed tomorrow. What could this be?
Those Helghast are sneaky little devils. Threespeech spotted some of them causing trouble in Birmingham City Centre this weekend.
