Could LittleBigPlanet Live Up To The Hype?

by Patrick Steen on October 6, 2008

You may have stumbled across crazed individuals rushing to get their hands on the LittleBigPlanet Beta. Video gaming websites have excitedly offered beta codes, with the stampede bringing some servers to a crawl.  I’ve had the beta for a number of days now and I’m pleased to announce that LittleBigPlanet may well be the revolutionary game it always hoped to be.

Sony’s CEO Jack Tretton recently gave news that PSP and Playstation 3 sales are up 30% from their projected targets. While this news comes as a welcome surprise, it’s also bittersweet. Mr. Tretton went on to say that because of the high sales numbers of the PSP and PS3, he anticipates manufacturing shortages on both consoles later this year. Read more…

Thieves Steal a Truckload of Games… Twice

by Dan Landis on September 30, 2008

In a story that I’m sure is incredibly embarrassing for the police forces of England, a semi carrying approximately $1 million in PlayStation 3 videogames (including GTA and Brothers in Arms) was stolen by a merry band of thieves.  The truck and its cargo were then recovered by police, who failed to capture the men responsible, which led to the same merry band of thieves stealing the same truck full of games from the custody of the police themselves!

Sony PS3 Customer Service FTW!

by Chad Lakkis on August 29, 2008

A few days ago, a long time friend of mine called to let me know that he had some positive video game related news for me, and I said “ok shoot.”

He told me that his brother had gotten his COD4 disk stuck in his recently purchased PS3, and that the system would not eject it. So he decided to give a ring to Sony’s customer service line. He explained the situation to a supervisor and was told that it would all be taken care of immediately. What Sony did next was pretty amazing. Read more…

Savage Moon Revealed for PS3, New Screens

Back when Rock Band first debuted, Xbox 360 users were pleased to find out that their Guitar Hero instruments were compatible with their Rock Band sets, and vice versa. Unfortunately, PS3 users became accustomed to getting the shaft when Activision refused to let the Fender Stratocaster to work with any of the future or past Guitar Hero titles.

Today, Neversoft announced at Leipzeig that all GHWT instruments will be compatibile with their Rock Band companions. Neversoft’s Brian Bright even went into details on how drum compatibility would work, due to the difference in the amount of pads- the orange pad, the crash cymbal, will map to the blue pad, but if a note is there already, it will map to the green pad instead. Yeah, I don’t get it either. Read more…

We all know the feeling, you’re sat at home in your boxers playing Resistance: Fall of Man and you start thinking “you know, I wish I could watch that latest Rihanna music video, but I’m so lazy to simply go to YouTube in my PS3’s browser, I wish there was another solution”.

Well, Sony have heard your call and announced today at Leipzig that they will start trialling their new VidZone service across all PAL territories early next year.

Holy Bandwidth Breaker, Batman! 130+ Leaked Fallout 3 Images

by Demi Adejuyigbe on August 17, 2008

My inability to read Chinese will probably lead to an article mistranslation, but courtesy of Kotaku & cng4u, we now have 137 images of Fallout 3, from the ZeniMax Asia Expo (ZeniMax Media is the company that owns Fallout 3 developers Bethesda.)

Though I’m sure those in attendance at the expo were all forced to comply with an NDA before seeing game footage, there’s always that one guy that never takes the NDA seriously. Hit the jump to see the fruits of his labor.

Fallout 3 hits the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC simultaneously in North America on October 7th of this year.

First Screenshots of Batman: Arkham Asylum

by Demi Adejuyigbe on August 15, 2008

It seems there’s a trend lately in the industry- whenever a company announces a game, you can bet your ass that they will probably release, or leak, the screenshots in less than a couple of days. The latest game that follows this trend is RockSteady Studios Ltd.’s Batman Arkham Asylum, a chilling thriller from the mind of Paul Dini, whom you might know from the popular Batman: The Animated Series.

Unfortunately for RockSteady Studios, these screenshots weren’t leaked by some ambitious blogger or Batman fanboy enthusiast- they were leaked from RockSteady Studios’s site itself. Apparently, someone let the gallery of screenshots go live way before it was supposed to. The gallery has since been removed from RockSteady’s site, but of course, once something gets on the internet, its there forever.

Hit the jump to see the gallery of beautiful, Unreal Engine-produced screenshots for the game. Read more…
