If character creation tools are guilty of anything, it’s giving people the chance to be unoriginal. As I’ve already confessed in my Soulcalibur IV review, I’ve hardly been creative when it came to messing with the character creation mode, having not only made characters from Assassin’s Creed and Devil May Cry (and, er, Mr. T) [...]

Poor old Hideo Kojima. When he’s not creating overly-philosophical and preachy storylines in Metal Gear Solid, he’s being harassed about whether the latest game in the series will ever make it to the Xbox 360.
Well, he’s finally come clean.  He wants you to know that it IS NOT coming to the 360.
Get over it already.  [...]

As I documented a couple of months ago, SCEE has been putting a fair bit of effort into promoting multimedia content on the PlayStation 3. One such piece of work which has emerged from their toil is Movement, an indie music documentary series based around a couple of guys tootling around Europe in a VW [...]

PS3 Fanboy has confirmed that Europe will also be receiving the LittleBigPlanet pre-order bonus characters promised to the US by the PlayStation.Blog a short time ago.
Good news. Those tiny little details await after the jump.

Yes, so it’s a little bit late. SoulCalibur IV has been out for almost a month now and yet here comes silly ole Sarcastic Gamer with a review way too late. Not our fault though. If you have any beef with the timing of this review, please take it up with the United States Postal [...]

The good ole Beeb in the UK has picked up on a deal made by Microsoft and political advocacy group Rock the Vote which will allow 360 owners to take part in political discussions over Xbox LIVE, the details of which will be passed onto political parties so they can learn how to target the [...]

Earlier today in the last leg of the Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany, Namco Bandai held a small keynote speech with regards to where future downloadable content will be making an appearance in their recent PlayStation 3 releases. Since the début of Star Wars characters in Soulcalibur IV, the company has gone “Lucas crazy”, in [...]

As listeners of Wednesday’s Humpday Update for the 13th of August will be aware, there’s a bit of tension brewing between Doc of the Red Show and Frawlz of the Blue Show. As far as Frawlz is concerned, Doc’s been rather unreasonable and has blocked him in Gmail’s chat facility in what the New Yorker [...]

Everywhere in the world, in every country, there’s bound to be at least one news outlet that’s just plain biased, petty, naive and crazy. In America, you could say this outlet is Fox News, which often appears to hang out on the right-wing, conservative side of the political spectrum and has a hissy fit whenever [...]

CVG’s recently reported on an interview Treyarch’s Garrett Young had with the Official Xbox magazine. Young was quick to compare the upcoming Bond license game, Quantum of Solace, to Vivendi’s recent The Bourne Conspiracy game, featuring that other free-running, gadget-free secret agent. By “compare,” I mean describing it as “utter trash.”
Oddly though, he didn’t trash [...]

The Europe-only personal video recorder (PVR) PlayTV PS3 add-on has been priced and dated for mid-September. Initially promising recording of TV programs while playing games and allowing the transfer of content to your PSP, the developer has delivered some bad news about the application which might just put me off of buying it.
Hit the jump [...]

See, I always knew Hideo Kojima was onto something when the original Metal Gear Solid included a special, unlockable item called stealth camouflage in its inventory of gadgets and gizmos. In MGS, and its three sequels, the Stealth item instantly made Snake (or, eurgh, Raiden) completely invisible by, according to the item window, bending light [...]

Not much of a newspost, but I had to put this up after spotting it elsewhere. In a promotion for the new Metal Gear Acid Mobile game for cellphones, Konami created a viral video with the tagline “Save The World With Your Fingers” and ran with it, re-enacting the opening scenes of Metal Gear Solid [...]
