Uncharted Golden Abyss Delivers a Home Console Experience



Kotaku: Uncharted Golden Abyss is the best reason, but certainly not the only one, to buy Sony's still-codenamed Next Generation Portable. 
Uncharted Golden Abyss certainly isn't the sort of first-person shooter experience that will completely stress test the abilities of the NGP's dual thumbsticks, that will have to wait for aBattlefield or Call of Duty, but it requires enough shooting and moving to prove what gamers have been saying for years: Shooters just don't work with a single thumbstick.

NowGamer - NGP Hands On Verdict


Nowgamer: We get hands-on with Sony's latest portable device, and detail all its key features.
There’s no debate over the machine itself – it’s quite a beast. So long as the games, apps and other stuff supporting it is good enough and takes clever advantage of elements like the touch screen/pad, Sixaxis etc. then there’s no doubt NGP will be a device with a hell of a lot of potential. But price. Always price. It’s the kicker.

Sincere Sony spills PSPgo regrets


Yoshida: "I could spend 30 minutes talking about what was wrong with it"

The console's launch in November 2009 was met with respectable reviews, but the price - just $50 less than the PS3 at the time - was widely criticised. The system struggled to sell, despite a relaunch last May that saw the hardware bundled with 10 free games in the UK.

InFamous 2 Review by GamePro



GamePro writes: "InFamous 2 is a superhero-themed sandbox game that has the unenviable task of following up a beloved title. While technical and design choices make this a bit a disappointment, some great set pieces, fun powers, and memorable battles still make for an enjoyable ride".

InFamous 2 Review by CVG

What made things even harder for developer Sucker Punch, however, was the way in which the inFamous name was placed eye-to-eye with Uncharted 2... by the studio's own doing. SP's declaration that it was aiming for a sequel that matched Naughty Dog's amazing standard was ballsy - or maybe just balls-out insane.

EA Plays Dirty, Replaces Modern Warfare 3 YouTube Search Results With Battlefield 3 Ads



Gamethisrt - If you were not paying attention, there’s a war going on between EA and Activision for what we’ll call ‘shooter supremacy’. Activision currently holds the crown with its ubiquitous Call of Duty titles that’s become the biggest piece of entertainment of all time.

New Screens of Final Fantasy XIII-2: Serah a Playable Character


Despite the numerous Final Fantasy games out, Final Fantasy XIII is only going to be the second game in the series to receive a true sequel. Final Fantasy X was the first and frankly, the sequel was a bit disheartening. Let's just hope that FFXIII-2 can change that trend. In order to get us a bit more exited for the game, Square-Enix has released two new screens that reveal quite a bit of information.

Infamous 2 Review by G4TV


G4TV writes: "inFAMOUS 2 builds upon the excellent foundation established in its predecessor: give the player mass powers of electric destruction, present a standard good-and-evil moral duality, and let them loose in a city to do as they will. It's likely one of the best superhero-sandbox game ever made, and though it has its flaws, the game remains a polished experience from start to finish"

Brink Review by GameExplain


GameXplain Says: "Online shooters are without a doubt one of the biggest rages in this generation's gaming cycle. Becasue of this, publishers pointlessly shoehorn multiplayer modes into games that frankly just don't need it—at times sacrificing the overall quality of the end product just to check off a bullet point on the back of the box. Splash Damage's team-focused class-based shooter Brink is quite the opposite, it's a multiplayer game that's shoehorned around a story hoping to lure in gamers looking for next best thing."

Unannounced Bethesda game being revealed soon?


SystemLink: "I'm pretty much assuming that only one Bethesda title dominates your horizon for the time-being; Skyrim. It's big, bold, brash, brooding, bloody, brilliant, and slightly belated (We've been waiting 5 years for a new Elder Scrolls). However, this narrow-mindedness may all change very soon."

Mass Effect 3 to Feature Kinect Support?



Cover art for the upcoming Bioware action RPG Mass Effect 3 has been found on EA's digital store and, rather surprisingly, it contains the "Better With Kinect" banner found on games which feature Kinect, but don't require it.

Given the source, the image is definitely legitimate but it could of course be a mistake. Bioware has talked in the past about implementing Kinect in Mass Effect 3. "We're not going to do a party game, we're not going to do Dance Dance Krogan for Mass Effect. The reality is it's going to have a really positive impact. Can we create a greater sense of immersion during conversations by using gestures? I think we probably could and I think that's where we'll explore." Bioware boss Greg Zeschuktold GamesIndustry.biz last year.

"There's that impediment of a controller but hardcore gamers are never going to give that up. It might be nice to see a hybrid of a controller used with additional gesture on the side for immersive elements."
