The redesigned PlayStation Store is now up and running (this time for good) in the UK as well as various European and Australasian countries. While the store is certainly a visual improvement, we’re not convinced by its technical ability. Read on for our full thoughts on the redesign.
I would argue that beyond a simple factor within games, choices have become the most important and significant aspect of the modern video game. With titles like Dishonored the gamer is given various opportunities to play in the way he wants and it is this concept of ownership that has seen decision heavy games rise hugely over the past decade.
BioWare began as a small, game developing company in Canada founded by Greg Zeschuk, Ray Muzyka, and Augustine Rip. The founders found they had a penchant for roleplaying games and, thus, became what they are today: One of the best developers for the roleplaying game-genre.

2011 was headlined with a bigger than ever line up of pre-Christmas games including Skyrim, Battlefield 3, Arkham City, Uncharted 3, Skyward Sword and Modern Warfare 3 to name but a few.

We get to grips with the impressively big Resident Evil 6 demo to check out what all the build-up, good and bad, has been about.
Mass Effect 3’s “Leviathan” DLC involves players into a mystery involving defect reapers and a missing scientist.

We take a drive with the brand new F1 2012 Demo to see how this year’s addition to the impressive Codemasters series compares with the previous acclaimed installments.
With the rise of the indie movement and decline in mid-level games, will the next generation belong to the small developers rather than the seemingly unstoppable multi-million dollar corporations.
Sony’s Gamescom 2012 press conference was filled with new game announcements for the Playstation 3, Vita, and their Mobile service.
The demo for Transformers: Fall of Cybertron was released earlier this week for Playstation Network and Xbox Live Marketplace. The rather hefty demo offers players a taste of both of the game’s single-player and multiplayer campaigns.
