Japan’s Female Mecha Pilot President Is Getting A New Game

Guild 01 for the 3DS was released last year as an anthology of games by four notable game creators. One of those games in particular is getting its own spin-off.


Minecraft Could End Up On The PlayStation 3. Maybe.

I know it sounds crazy. But if someone had told me that Minecraft would be released on the Xbox 360 and become a massive, massive success I would have spat whatever beverage I was consuming right in their stupid face. So when Jens Bergensten, the man now in charge of Minecraft, tells us that Minecraft on the PlayStation 3 is a possibility, I’m inclined to believe him.


Andy Murray Likes His PlayStation So Much He Put His Name On It

Andy Murray is a pretty big gamer. Some gossip sites actually reported that his girlfriend Kim Sears actually dumped him at one point because he spent too much time on his PS3. That’s probably a massive, stupid lie, but it still makes me chuckle. Today on his Facebook page Andy Murray got excited. He has a new PlayStation and he put his name on it. George Foreman had his grill now Andy Murray has his PS3.


New Image Raises More Questions About What’s In The PS4 Controller

Yesterday, we posted this photo of a prototype controller for the next PlayStation. The image turned up online, and an industry source familiar with the system told us the photo was indeed a prototype controller for the PS4, codenamed Orbis.


Sony Is Claiming Victory In 2012, But Where Are The Microsoft And Nintendo Numbers?

It’s usually quite consistent. The NPD Group will release sales figures for the year that was — console sales, unit sales, game sales — and the press release battle will begin in earnest. Maybe Sony will strike first, perhaps Microsoft, but sooner or later both with bring the spin, each claiming victory over a certain area of the local games industry. Maybe they’ll focus on raw unit sales — maybe market share, perhaps revenue? You’ll be dazzled with numbers to the point where you have no idea who won what.


She Lost Her Father, But Journey Helped Her Cope

Last year’s standout PS3 game Journey was an emotional experience for many. That was certainly the case for Sophia, a 15-year-old who wrote the above letter to one of the game’s creators, Jenova Chen, about how Journey helped her cope with the loss of her father.


The Curious Case Of Ni No Kuni’s Unpleasant Battle Music

The first time I heard the battle music in Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, I thought “Ugh.” That’s never a good sign. In a Japanese role-playing game like Ni no Kuni, the battle music is arguably the most important music in the game.


Gather Round For One Of Ni No Kuni’s Lovely Fairy Tales

The splendid new role-playing game Ni no Kuni is, in many ways, a game about stories. It’s a fairy tale of the purest sort, full of morals and messages, overflowing with heart. So it’s fitting that within the game lies a book filled with richly-drawn fairy tales.


One Simple Ni No Kuni Tip To Help You Catch ‘Em All

I’m a sucker for sidequests in Ni no Kuni. I blame the stamps. In the game, each time you do a sidequest, you get a number of “merit stamps” on your stamp-card, and if you fill out a card, you can trade it in for power-ups. The tougher the sidequest, the more stamps you get.


Deadly Premonition: The Director’s Cut Polishes A Few Rough Edges

Like many of the finer things in life, Deadly Premonition is an acquired taste. It’s a very cool game, but in a very specific way. The oddball open-world mystery/horror game, which came out for the Xbox 360 in early 2010, will likely never find an audience like those enjoyed by, say, a Halo or a Minecraft. But what its supporters lack in numbers they make up for in enthusiasm.
