The PS3 releases this month have been as strong as ever, and fortunately the great games are still flooding in for Christmas time. This month’s OPM reviews the greatly anticipated Italian stealth simulator, FIFA’s ugly sister, the epitome of the PlayStation fighting genre, a game where you ferociously make flailing arm movements at your TV to cater for your “virtual pet” (yeah right, you crazy man) and many more. Hit the jump for the latest scores.

Seven years, seven best-selling PlayStation titles and 16 million recorded sales later, Insomniac might be ready to close the book on intergalactic heroes Ratchet and Clank. In an interview with CNN, Creative Director Brian Allgeier hinted that A Crack in Time provides a certain ‘closure’, tying up many of the series’ loose ends as the wrench-wielding Lombax and [...]

Anyone who enjoyed Rockstar’s PS2 Wild West shooter Red Dead Revolver should head over to Strategy Informer, where James Pikover has published a first impressions piece (with screenshots) on its talked-about sequel Red Dead Redemption.
Rockstar’s Rage engine makes a welcome return to power the game’s mountainous barren landscape that is, if claims are to be believed, [...]

According to some pictures taken from the set of the upcoming film, Battle: Los Angeles, Resistance 3 is being made and is set in New York. The images contain a billboard with Resistance 3 written on it. The simple existence of the billboard is the proof of the game, and the fact that you can [...]

Resident Evil 5 is to undergo a small makeover, re-emerging next year in the form of Resident Evil 5: Alternative Edition. True, the title isn’t especially original, but the game is worth getting hot-and-bothered about if you enjoyed incapacitating zombies the first time around.
As announced at Sony’s Tokyo Game Show press conference, the Alternative Edition [...]

For me, choosing a next generation racer to add to my growing collection of PS3 titles was a tricky affair. I asked myself: what attributes make a great racing game? Jaw-dropping HD visuals perhaps, evident in Gran Turismo. Maybe it’s customisation possibilities, characteristic of the Need for Speed series or the exhilarating sensation of speed [...]

Last night I, csreynolds, carried out an exhausting (but necessary) clean-up exercise in order to reduce the size of my heaving friends list. To my delight, I was triumphant, and I now have plenty of room to make some new online acquaintances on the PlayStation Network.
Looking back over past posts, many of you have proven [...]

By our reckoning, it’s always nice when games developers slide into the hot-seat to give a personal account of their achievements, ambitions, and dedication to producing great titles. Not too long ago, Gamesreactor TV’s Bengt Lemne spoke with Ryan Schneider, Marketing and Community Director at Insomniac Games, to learn what Insomniac is all about.
Only after [...]

Red Faction Guerrilla has been patched (or definitely will be very soon), introducing some new stuff (including new modes for Wrecking Crew and the 4 maps that were pre-order specific being opened for everyone) which you can read after the break. There’s also some tweaks, such as preparation for upcoming DLC, draws no longer counting [...]

First things first; the destruction in Red Faction Guerrilla is incredible. The thrill you get when you’ve just demolished a very large building with a relatively small sledgehammer is almost as great as when you get the thermobaric rocket launcher (very big explosion) and watch the pieces fly everywhere. Even getting hit by some of those pieces [...]

Update: It seems to be working fine now. The link below hasn’t been updated yet, though, so there may still be problems for some of you, but it’s working fine for us.
If you downloaded the Multiplayer Demo of Red Faction when it released today, and then you proceeded to try and play the demo because, [...]

We reported yesterday that Ratchet and Clank content was in the works for LBP, and now Sony have confirmed that this is true to Eurogamer. They ‘don’t have any further details at this time’, though, so you’ll just have to wait. You do an awful lot of that, we know, but so do we; it can’t be [...]
