Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios Europe (SCEWSE?) exec Michael Denny is not thrilled with episodic content. He wants it to be more exciting, you know, more cliffhangery.

For me, true episodic gaming needs to be more than just selling a traditional game split into chunks. It needs to be games that are specifically designed from the outset to be very story driven, to be very cliffhanger-orientated. Almost to follow some ...

In the US, you have to pay for a demo of Killzone 2. Crazy days. In Europe, however, it's the demo will be free. Which is good news for Americans!

Yes, Americans. It's not good news for Europeans, because the second you start treating the fact a demo is free as "good news", you're fucked. So...carry on, it's business as usual

No, it's good ...

Last year, Sony and Nissan teamed up to hold a Gran Turismo competition. GT racers would compete for a spot on a real race team. The winners are in, so let's go meet 'em.

Lars Schlömer is a German cab driver. Lucas Ordóñez is a uni student from Spain. Both are mad Gran Turismo fanboys, both have mad Gran Turismo skills, both will now be racing in the 24-hour ...

Yes. It's another fancy PlayStation 3 for the Japanese market. Not content with lording it over us with their white and silver consoles, Japan will now also be getting this dragon-emblazoned Yakuza machine.

Ryu Ga Gotuku fans will remember this was actually announced last year, but without any pictures. Now, we've got pictures.

For the forgetful, it's a white, limited edition 80GB machine that's to be ...

What are Sony's top brass looking forward to from the PlayStation family in 2009? Console exclusives, naturally. And "making money." While the PS3 gets 'em all hot and bothered, the PSP is, at best, remembered.

Shuhei Yoshida, President of Sony Computer Entertainment's Worldwide Studios, teases "new titles and innovations that will connect and expand the PlayStation experiences" on the PSP. But that's about all the love the ...

There's a report going around that seems surprised that there are people out there who use the web browsers available for the Nintendo Wii and Sony PlayStation 3.  There aren't many of those people, mind you, but they are out there.  Apparently 0.04% of web traffic uses the PS3 browser, while only 0.01% of browser use ties to the Wii.  Kombo has the story, but it ...

I love when there are abundant blue skies in video games, so it's easy to see why I was eager to tear into Mirror's Edge from Electronic Arts for the Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, and PC which casts players in the role of Faith, an athletic woman living in a very clean and very bright city sometime in the not too distant future.  There's a ...

According to Famitsu's publisher Enterbrain, the Japanese game market is, like a frightened turtle, getting smaller compared to last year. But what was the biggest selling game hardware? Games?

The data for 2007 reflects the period from January 1, 2007 to December 3, 2007. The data for 2008 reflects the period from December 31, 2007 to December 28, 2008. One hundred yen is the equivalent of US$1.08 ...

Times are tough all over right now, but times are especially tough at Sony. They've only just announced plans to axe thousands of employees, and already The Times reckon things are about to get worse.

While Sony are all "no we're not" on the speculation/leak, The Times insist that next month (following the Consumer Electronics Show), Sony will not only announce the closure of several factories in ...

After reviewing the Nintendo Wii version of Sonic Unleashed and coming away disappointed in the emphasis on slow nighttime werehog brawling levels over speedy daytime joy material, I decided to try the Sony PlayStation 3 version of the game which supposedly includes more day levels and therefore more fun.  I am pleased to say that this is true.  There are more day levels in the powerhouse console versions of the ...
