According to IGN Insomniac Games, the maker of Resistance and Ratchet & Clank, could be abandoning PS3 exclusivity in favour of multi-platform development. This news comes from what IGN describes as a 'trusted source'.

*'An alternative view' offers exactly that - an alternative opinion on the game it talks about. It is not a re-review and it does not reflect the opinion of Play Magazine. It is simply there to give the writer of each column an arena to vent.*
The first LocoRoco title came about in a time when the PSP was pretty much devoid of interesting releases – the handheld was living up to its reputation as “a PS2 in your hands” all ...
Alright, so the name sums up what it’s all about and stuff, but it’s not very imaginative, is it? Fortunately, I have an extremely fertile imagination that just loves to make up names for things, so I’ve come up with my own shortlist of names. Sony’s gonna read this and think, “Damn! Why did we call it Move when we could have gone with any of these brilliant suggestions?” Never mind Sony. Maybe next time.
It has a name, and it's not Mo-con - even though we coined that term and told Sony we would only expect modest royalties if and when they chose to use it. Nevertheless, PlayStation Move is coming later this year with a raft of games to accompany it. But rather than dwell on the positives of what is coming and what we're looking forward to, I thought I should just get it out of the way and list five games ...

Which covert, stealthy, pyjama-wearing men of the night do we think are the best on PlayStation? Well we've whittled it down to ten, but then we realised only nine of them are on PS, the other is from ELSEWHERE. Nonetheless, read our definitive views here...
“Have you ever loved someone who was so beautiful and pure, you couldn’t bear to show them your own darkness?”
What? Oh, do shut up you boring goth tit. This quote might read like it was taken from the online profile page of some pasty-faced, bandy-legged ninny who says that no one understands him because he’s such an individual, and whose real name is Keith, but insists that everyone call him Blackthorne because it sounds scary and also because ...
Codemasters have announced a new FPS from the creator of the really-rather-metal Black (you may remember it from the tail-end of the PS2's life), this one entitled Bodycount. There's definitely a lot of imagination with these titles. Still, Black was fantastic, so this news is worth reporting on and has us excited.
The new game is scheduled for a release in the first quarter of 2011 on PS3 and will include a single-player story of 'the Network' taking out 'Targets' (more ...
