| Battlefield 3 on consoles getting custom servers | 
Geoffrey Tim - March 8th, 2012 | Those of you who’ve played EA and DICE’s fighting-for-the-shooter-crown Battlefield 3 on consoles and Pc would know that besides the obvious difference; better graphics, bigger multiplayer maps and mouse and keyboard support; there’s another element that makes playing multiplayer games on the PC a better experience; custom servers. Well, they’re coming to consoles. “All active players out ... [»] |

| Street Fighter X Tekken on the 360 denies local team online play | 
Geoffrey Tim - March 7th, 2012 | It’s looking more and more like the Xbox 360 version of Capcom’s Street Fighter X Tekken is gimped. Not only does it have fewer playable characters (though many of them are on the disc), but it looks like you won’t be able to invite a friend around, and have them join you in some co-op matches online - though you’ll be able to do just that on the PS3. The manual for the game says otherwise - but it’s ... [»] |

| Counter-Strike: GO loses cross platform play | 
Geoffrey Tim - March 7th, 2012 | There’s a new Counter-Strike coming - and it was meant to allow for Utopian cross platform play between PC and PS3 players. The decidedly more open PS3 allows for other input devices - like the fabled mouse and keyboard set-up that PC gamers like so much - so the playing field would be level. But it’s not happening anymore, blowing hopes ... [»] |

| Is Journey set to be the PSN’s best game? | 
Geoffrey Tim - March 2nd, 2012 | I love thatgamecompany. They’re behind some of my very favourite games - the last of which are exclusive to Sony’s PlayStation 3. They’re the people behind fl0w and Flower - two incredible, genre-busting games that perfectly demonstrate their design philosophy: They begin by deciding on the emotions and feelings they wish to invoke in the player. From reviews, it sounds like ... [»] |

| The Jak and Daxter Trilogy HD review – Jak in the box | 
Garth Holden - March 1st, 2012 | I have a love hate relationship with HD remakes. It allows for those who missed out on a great franchise the chance of playing the games without trawling eBay for second hand copies of decade old games. It also allows the avid collector or nostalgia purchaser to extend their game libraries and relive those amazing moments in gaming history again. ... [»] |

| Sony postpones scheduled maintenance | 
Darryn Bonthuys - March 1st, 2012 | Were you facing the prospect of a night in, with nothing to do but play single-player games, due to the Sony Network going offline for maintenance? Well good news everybody, as Sony has instead postponed their scheduled rejiggery of their internal systems for tonight, meaning that you can do all the online fragging and racing that your heart desires!The PSN was originally meant to go dark from 8:00AM PST/4:00PM GMT/6:00PM SAST until at least 10:00PM ...

| Reminder: Sony’s Entertainment Network is out of action on Thursday | 
Geoffrey Tim - February 28th, 2012 | Thursday’s my birthday (it should be tomorrow, but…stupid leap year). I’ll be doing stuff that evening - but I certainly won’t be playing anything on the PSN SEN…and neither will you. Sony’s Entertainment Network will be down for scheduled maintenance - and this time even those who’ve logged in before it goes down will be booted from the service.The whole network will be down from 8:00AM PST/4:00PM GMT/6:00PM SAST ...

| Killzone 3 multiplayer is becoming free to play | 
Gavin Mannion - February 24th, 2012 | Now this is a great experiment from Sony and will hopefully lead into a whole new line of thinking for game developers moving forward.
Instead of offering Killzone 3 for bargain basement prices to try and keep the excitement going Sony and Guerrilla games have decided to offer a downloadable version of ... [»] |

| Guild Wars 2 is confirmed for consoles. Again. | 
Geoffrey Tim - February 16th, 2012 | Guild Wars is a different sort of MMO. Its most important distinction, I think, is that it has no subscription fees, and isn’t built on a free-to-play or freemium model. Buying the game allows you play it online for as long as you like, with the same available gears and perks as everybody else. There’s also none of that Microtransactions nonsense. ... [»] |

| EA releases Warp trailer for XBLA and PSN | 
Gavin Mannion - February 15th, 2012 | While avoiding work and browsing YouTube this morning I accidently stumbled across a work related video, Warp from EA Games is a new downloadable title that is apparently available today on XBLA and then on the PC and PSN (they said that, I would have said SEN) on the 13th of ...

Geoffrey Tim - February 14th, 2012 | Gamers without significant others can spend the evening saving the world instead of crying themselves to sleep while hugging their pillows - because the anticipated Mass Effect 3 demo is now available to everyone. Of course, there are some of you in relationships who’ll be rushing to play the demo tonight - and you’re certainly braver than I am. The 1.76Gb demo is available on ... [»] |

| Everything you ever needed to know about the PlayStation Vita | 
Geoffrey Tim - February 13th, 2012 | My PSP died this weekend. One of the kids was playing some Naruto rubbish on it and it just kinda…faded to black. It’s a Japanese launch unit from all the way back in 2004, so it’s served me pretty well - but I’m taking it as a sign from the gaming gods that I really, really need a PlayStation Vita - even though I won’t be able to play my PSP games on ...
