The height of civilisation: violent games banned in Venezuela

March 10, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

As I recall Mega-City One has a law against dealing in old comics. That’s fiction, right, surely nothing in real life would be so stupid? Right? Step forward Venezuela. After a few months in the Venezuela courts the new law – Law for the Prohibition of Violent Video Games and Toys – is now in […]

Sony buys Media Molecule – LittleBigPlanet and security

March 2, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Sony have bought Media Molecule. Media Molecule are the dev house behind PlayStation’s run away online success LittleBigPlanet. You only need to look at how heavily LittleBigPlanet features – still – in PlayStation’s advertising to see how important a game this is for them. Over at the PlayStation EU blog we get the official lowdown […]

PlayStation with an ace new God of War 3 trailer

February 12, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Over at the European PlayStation blog, Thach Quach the Senior European Product Manager, brings us one of the “omg the scale is huge!” trailers for God of War 3. Like Thach, I’m going to borrow from the US and quote; “Just to give a little perspective on what we were going for with this trailer, […]

Alien PlayStation case-mod

February 12, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A guilty secret – I sometimes read the Sega US blog. Heh. I do try and stay on the EU blogs from the main providers as I feel they’re a much more relevant read.

Today, though, I was glad I popped over to Sega. They’re sharing pictures of this:

They’re encouraging people to tweet about it using the hashtag #heavyrain4days so if you see that starting to whisk by your Twitter stream; that’s what is going on. To play you need to be old enough and you need to […]

English language trailer for Final Fantasy XIII

January 14, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

There are a number of good things about this trailer; the Leona Lewis song isn’t one of them though. I’m more interested in the character dialog than a reality TV show star’s mantra in the background. They need to turn it down. It’s also worth noting that, shockingly, Final Fantasy XIII won’t be exclusive on […]

The Metal Gear Solid movie is cancelled

January 11, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

Bad news for the legion of Metal Gear Solid fans comes from GeekTyrant today. The Metal Gear Solid live-action film is dead. Producer Mike De Luca said the live-action was unlikely to progress; “I don’t think it’s going to move forward because I got the sense that there may not be enough of a coordinated […]

No more Final Fantasy?

January 8, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

There may be no more Final Fantasy, not as we know the series, after Final Fantasy XII. After having already publicly discussed taking development of the next Final Fantasy away from Japan and giving it to Western developers Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada says the whole series needs something new. Once again we can turn […]

Lengthy Ar Tonelico III trailer hits the web

January 7, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is an awfully long – 4:30 plus – trailer for the forthcoming JRPG Ar Tonelico. It’s also quite loud so I’d nudge your volume downwards. The trailer shows off glimpses of most aspects of the game; the cut-scenes, costumes, battle stances, attacks and even wandering around. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmxD5zxpvvE
