Here at Lazygamer we’re all about community. It’s all about you guys, the readers. We are - as some of you know, pretty active on social media - particularly Twitter, and probably not quite as active of Facebook as we should be. Did you know though, that most of the guys who bring you new games every week are also ... [»]
Sony’s announced its latest batch of financials - and things are not looking particularly rosy for the global electronics and media giant. For the fourth year in a row, the company will be posting a staggering loss - this time to the tune of $2.9 billion.Sony’s suffered from poor sales, spurred on by the floods in Thailand (which ceased hard drive ...

Sony learned a hard lesson with the PSP Go and that is that the world, and retailers, aren’t ready for an entirely digital future. However that doesn’t mean the idea is a complete bust and it looks like Sony has learned another valuable lesson from the PSP ... [»]
Mikael Hed, head of Rovio, the company behind casual gaming phenomenon Angry Birds isn’t too worried about piracy. In fact, he believes it’s a great way of getting new fans - who might be more inclined to pay the next time round."We could learn a lot from the music industry, and the rather terrible ways the music industry has tried to combat piracy," he explained at the Midem conference in Cannes, as reported by Guardian. ...

Firstly, WTF… I knew Capcom were the kings at milking but this is getting a little ridiculous now, apparently the 2 latest additions to Street Fighter x Tekken are Pac-Man and Mega Man…
It makes no sense but it gets worse.I started gym recently to try and lose around 50 kilo’s (that’s ... [»]
Well this is something Xbox fighting game genre fans should be used to by now. While last year saw Playstation 3 owners of Mortal Kombat get to play around with a certain, very angry, God of War, Xbox purchasers were left with no exclusive character of their own, and this year looks to be a repeat as well.
Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono has confirmed ... [»]
The PlayStation Vita will launch in the West on February 22 this year. We’re excited. We’re a little less excited about its price, which will cost $250 (R2699 in South Africa) for the Wi Fi version, and $299 (R3299)for the 3G-enabled one. That’s…a lot of beans. The technical intelligence experts at UBM TechInsights decided to take the thing apart and see what ... [»]
When the PlayStation Vita launched in Japan late last year, it sold like proverbial hotcakes. For its first week, at least. Since then it’s been on a steady decline, and to say sales are currently poor would be a fair bit of hypobole. In fact, according to Media Create - one of Japan’s sales tracking services, akin to North America’s NPD - ... [»]
Well, it’s not as if the iconic fighting franchise hasn’t graced every single other handheld device since it arrived so many years ago. And to be honest, an updated Mortal Kombat on the Vita would be just the right incentive for me to actually buy the device, especially if I ... [»]
I’m not sold on the PS Vita; not because it doesn’t look like an absolutely incredible device or that that it’s overpriced. Both of those are true but the one counter acts the other.
No the reason I’m not sold on the PS Vita is simply because I have an iPhone and ... [»]
It’s just 7 weeks until Sony’s PSP successor, the touch-screen enabled PlayStation Vita will be released in Western markets. It’s been available in the land of Ramen and panty-spewing vending machines for under a month, but has failed thus far to topple the mighty 3DS, selling just a third of the number of units in a comparable time frame. Don’t write it off just yet; it’ll likely gain a lot more ... [»]
The market for dedicated handhelds, thanks to the proliferation of gaming capable smartphones and tablets, has shrunk to nothing. Nintendo, likewise, is doomed; their new 3DS has stalled at retail, proving itself to be a worthlessly unnecessary bit of tech. Only neither of those statements is true. We’ve reported ... [»]
We at Lazygamer have made our stance on piracy quite well known; we detest and abhor the theft (and it is theft!) of software. We understand the need for IP holder to protect their rights. That said, there’s no way in hell we can support the controversially vague Stop Online Piracy Act and its evil little cousin the Protect IP act. In case you’re unaware, SOPA and PIPA are currently trying to work their way in to US legislature, and could very well end up changing the face of the internet as ... [»]
Sure, we’ve got plenty of new games coming out this year, but we’ve also got something that is exceedingly rarer hitting our shores as well this year. I’m talking of course, about a new handheld console, in the form of the Sony PS Vita.
So far, it’s boasting some incredible technology in its form and a mouth-watering list of launch games, but is that enough to warrant throwing down some hard-earned cash for it?Earlier last year, ... [»]
