Gamers aren't traditionally know for their good dress sense and, to be honest, that's entirely fair. Generally, we have no idea of what the latest clothing trends are or how to co-ordinate our wardrobe, whatever that means. Maybe games themselves are teaching us all the wrong lessons.

In honour of Sony’s potentially catastrophic failure to put a fully functioning clock inside early models of the PS3, I’ve decided to put together this Top 5 of the worst console faults of all time, just to put things in perspective. At the time of writing it’s unclear whether the PS3mageddon bug has been fixed by Sony or has simply righted itself. Either way, the panic is over and we can all laugh about it now.

Still, I have my PSP with me, and this will keep me from going insane with boredom. Why? Because Sony's handheld is still relevant, and it is home to some fantastic games well worth your time. With that in mind, might I present you with a few recommendations for fantastic PSP travelling games:...

On day four of our Heavy Rain Week we thought we would give you a little background on some of the actors who appear in the game as well as some shots showing them in real life compared to their in-game models. As Cage revealed yesterday in our behind the scenes look at the game, he chose non-Hollywood actors and actresses on purpose believing that lesser known talent would work harder for the project. The results really speak for themselves.

Marriage is an institute - or at least that's what the institution tells us. So it's always fun to see what the world of gaming makes of that point in life when your life is over. Ahem. But yes - marriage and games, let's take a look:

At Gamescom last year we had the opportunity to sit with David Cage and Pascal Langdale, the actor who plays Ethan Mars in Heavy Rain, and they gave us a unique insight into how the game was put together. It was an intensive process with a great deal of work for writers, actors and even the director. You can read their thoughts and see some behind the scenes imagery after the jump.

Everyone knows that Christmas is a time to be force-fed sprouts, and everyone also knows that the only good thing about eating sprouts is that it pretty much grants you license to blow off repeatedly for the rest of the day.

Earlier this afternoon I was sent some brand, speaking new screenshots of the classic line-up of Queen in LEGO Rock Band, and I couldn’t help but admire the moustache on LEGO Freddie Mercury. It got me thinking about other game characters with memorable moustaches, which then got me thinking about how intertwined moustaches and games have been almost since the very dawn of gaming, and that got me thinking about how I could write a blog about moustaches for ...
