Sure, Splinter Cell Conviction is exclusive to the 360 (at least as far as we know), but the series was originally exclusive to the Xbox and made it’s way to other platforms afterwards, so it’s not in the realm of impossibility that the franchise will go multiplatform. Again.
In fact, Yannis Mallat, the CEO of Ubisoft’s [...]

Capcom has just officially announced Super Street Fighter IV, an upgraded version of the existing game with a plethora of new characters and features.
The game will release as a stand-alone disc; this will not be DLC. The good news? It won’t be selling at full price, a good move on Capcom’s part which gives a [...]

One of PSN’s most entertaining games, Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle Cars (which we loved) has got itself all patched up with some new content and fixes.

To return the favor to fans, DLC is planned for later this year, which will include a trip to Tatooine, in which the young Apprentice will duke it out with none other than Obi-Wan. Oh and you’ll [...]

Shadow of the Colossus. LittleBigPlanet. Put them together and you’ve got what is, presumably, the next level pack for LBP – Shadow of the Colossus. It doesn’t get much better than that. You can watch the teaser trailer here. It’s amusing, as you’d expect from LBP. Go watch it already!
In case you aren’t aware of [...]

Sacred 2 is an interesting case. Usually, action RPGs feature an astonishing lack of openness but, instead, Sacred 2 gives you a massive open world to explore. It’s important to understand just how huge the game world actually is. Hundreds of hours of gameplay are available to eager players waiting to sink their teeth into [...]

Well, this is interesting. Creat, the guys who brought Cuboid (amongst other things) to the PSN, are working on a game called Smash Cars. It’s a follow-up to their 2003 game of the same name, featuring ‘no-rules’ RC (radio-controlled) car racing, stunts and boosting.
The game will feature real-time physics, next-gen graphics, realistic driving physics, stunts, [...]

The awesomely/ridiculously titled Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle Cars (SARPBC from now on, for the sake of our sanity) is a variation of football (soccer, if you’re one of those America-people) in which the ball is massive, glowing and silver, you’re encased into an in-door arena, and you’re in cars with rockets attached.
