Terraria – The PS3 Attitude Review
Submitted by | Tue, 21/05/13 – 14:34 | No Comment

Terraria is a big game with a simple concept – survive.

Far Cry 2 sells a million in three weeks

We like Far Cry 2.
We like it for its fire effects and sandbox approach. We like it for the African savannah and the atmospheric day/night cycle effects.
And it would appear you like it too.

You remember X-Blades, don’t you?

The ‘Nariko-alike’ lead character in the game, Ayumi, has recently been given a wash and brush up by a number of fans around the world. Southpeak Games ran a competition asking for ‘fanart’ of their new queen of hack-n-slash, and received a huge number of high-quality entries.

Dead Space DLC; PS3 is missing out – [UPDATE]

EA announced earlier today that the first batch of Dead Space DLC was on the way. The Xbox 360 would see their downloadable content this Thursday (13th November), whilst the PS3 would wait one extra week.

An extra week is no big deal when you’re getting a great deal of extra content to purchase, right?

Except it appears Sony’s black monolith isn’t getting the better part of the available downloads…

Tom Clancy’s EndWar; an RTS for the people?

When we had the chance to give EndWar a spin last month we were able to get hands-on with one small battle. Whilst that experience was good, how does the full game stack up?

Does the final fight match up to our pre-war taster?

Glorious MGS4 PS3 re-listed; interview with the makers

You may remember the amazing and beautiful MGS4 PS3 designed and built by Morpheon Mods. You may also remember that the resulting eBay auction, with 15% of the proceeds going to charity, ended in selling for an incredible $17k.

Unfortunately, the winning bidder has not paid up, so Morpheon are doing the whole shebang again. Interview and new eBay link after the jump…

Firmware 2.52; fixes LBP keyboard lag?

A new firmware turned up this morning, and on the face of it the update doesn’t appear to do much. But is the update related to LittleBigPlanet in some way?

Alex Evans’ Top 5 LBP levels (so far…)

LittleBigPlanet is almost here in the UK. The game has already been in widespread use through 100,000 beta testers and the release of the title in the US, so when you do unwrap your copy on the 5th you’ll be treated to a raft of great levels.

So what does Alex Evans of Media Molecule think of the user generated content so far? We got a chance to sit down with Alex this weekend at GameCity 3 in Nottingham and ask him that very question…

LittleBigPlanet to import images by Christmas

Talking at GameCity in Nottingham today, Alex Evans was asked about the lack of image import in LittleBigPlanet.

The news? He confirmed that this was only pulled from the release of the game because of time constraints, and that the image import tool would be released by Christmas.

Quantum of Solace; new screenshots

One of the many new titles out in stores today, James Bond 007: Quantum of Solace stands out as a potential winner.

You may remember we got to play the game recently at a preview event and interview one of the team from Treyarch, and we must say we were impressed. It is always hard to do justice when it comes to movie tie-ins, but somehow Quantum of Solace manages to be both a rock-solid FPS and remind you that you are Bond.

Tom Clancy’s EndWar; virtual and physical hands-on

It is a cold day in London. The rain has been falling and it seems like winter has finally arrived. After a brief encounter under the clock at Waterloo Station, a team of intrepid reporters and fans head up the M1 to Coventry, where Tom Clancy’sEndWar awaits.

But just as with all good metaphors, the sun began to shine and the clouds parted as we get closer and closer to our objective – hands-on withUbisoft’s new RTS title. Thankfully, nobody broke into song on the coach ride or it would have really ruined the moment.

Max Payne the movie; hit or miss?

Max Payne the movie; hit or miss?

We care about all the great game franchises you’ll find across the entire PlayStation universe, so when people go ahead and make movies about those titles we sit up and take notice.

One franchise that has yet to make the leap to the PS3 is Max Payne, and we really wish it would. After a not-too-bad-at-all conversion of Hitman to the silver screen, will Max Payne do any better at the cinema? Or is more likely to nestle in with the likes of the Tomb Raider movies (or worse, Alone in the Dark)?

Tongues out for the Kiss Guitar Hero controller

Want something that looks just that little bit more authentic when you’re playing Guitar Hero?

How about a three-quarter replica of Gene Simmons’ guitar from Kiss?
