Darryn Bonthuys - October 21st, 2011 | It’s been a fantastic console cycle so far, with the big names in gaming redefining and reimagining what a game could be, as well as having the hardware to back up these visions. Sadly, current technology can only go so far, so it shouldn’t really be surprising to find out that Sony is now starting work on a successor to their PS3 console.

| Duke Nukem Forever demo available | 
Geoffrey Tim - June 22nd, 2011 | Duke Nukem Forever is a polarising game. Some love it for its “old school†nostalgic charm, while others think it’s a terrible game, a half-baked product that’s riding the wave of nostalgia all the way to the bank. While we’re firmly in the “this game sucks†camp, here’s your chance to form your own opinion; The game’s ... [»] |

| Sony has sold 50 Million PlayStation 3’s | 
Geoffrey Tim - April 15th, 2011 | At what sales figure do you reckon you’ve achieved mass market penetration? The much-loved PlayStation 2 can certainly claim that, having sold over 150 million units during its lifetime. It’s younger, but bigger brother is well on its way to that accolade too, with Sony confirming they’ve shipped over 50 million PS3’s worldwide. That doesn’t necessarily mean that there are that many actual consoles in homes, but it’s gotta be ... [»] |

| Epic wants Gears of War on the PS3 | 
Geoffrey Tim - March 4th, 2011 | Gears of War is, without a doubt, one of the Xbox 360’s premier exclusive franchises. To be honest, it’s one of the only ones left, sat in the corner with Halo, Fable and Forza.If Epic had its way, Gears of War would be a former Xbox 360 exclusive, but Microsoft keep convincing them to remain partnered; probably using large wads of cash, or harems ...

| Braben : PS3 Hacks damaging to all PS3 owners | 
Geoffrey Tim - February 28th, 2011 | I’m of the general opinion that GeoHot, the hacker who’s gained notoriety for his hacking of Sony’s PS3 and subsequent public release of its root keys, is a giant twat. I realise he’s a really smart guy, with an amazing natural talent for breaking in to digital systems – but he’s also a juvenile jerk who’s largely responsible for the incoming wave of increased ...
