This is one of those stories that I had full intentions of writing and mocking the person over. Apparently a female Home ‘player’ has lodged a complaint on the official PlayStation forums about being sexually assaulted in Home. The only problem being that there is no sex or intimate contact ... [»]
We haven’t insulted Home for quite some time and have recently saved all our bad puns and unwitty insults for the Avatar accessories or pets. However it seems that Microsoft and Sony are now in a ludicrous race to ultimate idiocy in the online avatar world and Sony has just pulled out in front. Not only has the ... [»]
Coke has announced it will start placing vending machines around home that vend stuff… If you even remotely care about that then I would like to know why?

I have made no secret of the fact that I think PlayStation's Home application is a complete waste of time and I will be the first to admit that I am wrong if Home ever proves to be anything other than a complete waste of time.Over the weekend Sony tried to inject some life into it by organising a dance off between Hamsters and Humans... no that iditiotic ...

This is a day to go down in history, it rates right up there with the day they invented beer and the day they figured out that bashing some atoms together makes a bit of a bang.Today is the day that we finally launch the Lazygamer podcast, something that we have been planning on doing for well over 9 months now... but beer ...

Only in the world of console gaming could that headline even begin to make sense.Two days ago Microsoft announced the launch of their new line of avatar shoes which included the universally stylish, white socks with sandals look.Well Sony was having none of that has decided to hit back with an even more ludicrous koi styled ...

Machinima – or machine cinema - for those of you not in the know is the use of real-time 3D graphics engine, particularly video game engines, to create computer animation. A sort of of digital puppetry that’s gained in popularity thanks in part to Rooster Teeth’s excellent Red Vs Blue – created using Bungie’s Halo video games. Machinima garnered further attention when it was heavily utilised in South Park’s Emmy award winning “Make love not Warcraft†episode. If you’re a budding machinimatographer and a Playstation 3 owner then it seems the stars are aligning in your favour; A small development team called “Loot†will be releasing a Machinima tool for Sony’s current-gen beast that’ll make use of the assets in Playstation Home. Of course with digital actors being so incredibly wooden and lacking expression “Loot†have just made Keanu Reeves obsolete. “StageSet†will be available within Home this week, after which you ... [»]
CydoniaX, community manager for Home has announced that from February 12th, Ninja outfits will be available to purchase from the Mall. Whilst no price has yet been announced it doesn’t really matter. It’s ninja suits!To celebrate the arrival of Japan’s notorious masters of espionage, they’ll be holding a contest.

This latest reveal from EA shows off the EA Sports Complex that is going to be available in Home.
It looks like it has quite a couple of nifty areas and games to play with your buddies, from Golf and Poker, to Racing and more, although I must say that the short bit that they showed of the racing looked quite dodgy.
It's really both good and interesting to see that companies are ... [»]
There are no shortage of stories criticising PlayStation Home on the Internet and to be honest you wouldn’t struggle to find one in the mainstream media either, but it seems that Sony may be about to get a most unpleasant wake up call. You see a minority group is now talking about how Home is being discriminatory against them which as we all know just means that some American is about to ... [»]
Oh wow, PlayStation Home is becoming a perfect example of how to get it all wrong all the time. First they think it’s a great idea to replicate the annoying fact that we need to wait for things in real life by making us queue to play an arcade game in the system. But that seems to have been accepted by the die hard fans as being realistic so Sony then decided to take it a step further and force you to download gigatons of data to enjoy home fully. Well it seems like some people are now complaining about the obvious lag issues that this has caused and Sony have come up with a great solution. They have now patched Home and removed the voice chat ability. Yes removed it, possibly the best point about Home was that you could gather together and discuss your gaming goodness and they went and took it away. ... [»]
The public Beta for Home has been around now for about 6 days and already people have found a few security holes in it. Most of them are minor and are more a commercial threat to Sony than anything to serious. ... [»]
Penny Arcade may be one of the best comics on the Internet (next to Cyanide and Happiness) but as far as impartial gaming critics go I think they are pretty far down the list.These are the guys with two Xbox 360 games remember… However that being said their complaints about Home are pretty much what everyone else ...
