Heavy Rain finally hits shelves February 26 and to mark the occasion Sony has teamed up with HMV, Game and Gamestation to give uncertain gamers a hands-on taster of what they can look forward to at select stores. Head to these stores on the 26th, 27th or 28th and you'll get to see some of the scenes play out and try before you buy.
Official ABC figures posted recently show that we have retained our position as the UK’s best-selling independent PlayStation magazine.
In spite of a financially challenging year our sales have remained extremely strong registering an official ABC figure of over 24,000 readers (one of them is probably you and you should feel very proud). Now in it's 14th year we're set to extend our reach with a brand new iPhone app that allows users to access the magazine where ever and whenever they choose.

The Official PlayStation Magazine in the US has suggested that cross-game chat, a feature many PS3 gamers would like to see brought to their console, could be restricted to subscribers only. The ability to chat with friends playing different games is enjoyed already by Xbox 360 owners and is one of the most requested updates to the PS3. Sony has in the past hinted that such a service would be coming in time, but this news will come as a blow to many.
There’s been a lot of talk lately about various glitches and bugs and exploits in Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. In fact, some have gone so far us to declare its multiplayer to be a complete waste of time until Infinity Ward gets around to fixing everything. Not me though. To be honest, I can’t recall ever playing against someone I was sure was cheating. Maybe I’ve been lucky, maybe I’m too stupid to pick up on ...
As a sneak image and trailer got yanked from 1up.com we also got the news through that Sega's Sonic Team is not responsible for the Blue Hedgehog's left to right return. Development duties are instead being taken up by a studio called Dimps on Osaka. That name may not be familiar to you, but the team there recently worked with Capcom in developing Street Fighter IV and made the Sonic Rush and Sonic Advance games for Nintendo DS and GBA respectively.

Dark Sector suffered a long time in development hell, being announced and re-announced numerous times until it finally came out to be welcomed by a wave of apathetic half-smiles. Sure, it could be argued that the original setting was far more interesting, with protagonist Hayden battling baddies in a sci-fi setting. But bringing the story back to Earth and setting it against the classic American enemy – the darn Commie Russians – gave Dark Sector a ...

PSN will be closed down for maintenance later today with the official cut off point being 4pm. Sony hopes to have it back up and running by 5:30pm so it hopefully won't disturb your gaming time too much. The downtime includes the Store and online games. That's about all there is to say, but at least now you know.
The original 50 Cent game, Bulletproof, was a diabolical mess and, when we heard there was a follow-up in the works that would see you, as Fiddy of course, shooting your way through an unspecified Middle Eastern country on the trail of a gang of thieves who’ve stolen the crystal skull you received as payment for a concert, we were somewhat gleefully expecting another laughable disaster.
But then the finished game arrived in the office and we all gathered ...
Heavy Rain creator David Cage has poured fuel on the flames of motion controller talk by suggesting more news regarding motion control and Heavy Rain could be coming soon. Speaking with Norwegian gaming site Dagbladet, Cage said that Heavy Rain had been working with motion control from the beginning, but couldn't make it work entirely on the Sixaxis. The final game uses a mix of motion controls and buttons.
I've just spent a long weekend playing Mass Effect 2. Yes - that means I was playing on my 360. I can only apologise. But when it comes to playing one of the best action-RPGs ever made, you have to make a stand and play a game on whatever you can, even if it is disloyal of me as a committed PlayStationite. And this is why I must add my voice to the pile of those that demand the Mass ...

With the release date drawing closer Rockstar Games has been treating us to ever more footage from its Western adventure, Red Dead Redemption. The latest trailer is called The Law and can be viewed here.
It introduces us to the various lawmen we’ll encounter during the game but given the rumoured freedom of choice they won’t necessarily be friends of Mr Marston’s. Recently Rockstar also revealed several pre-order incentives including a Deadly Assassin outfit that is exclusive to GAME customers, ...
What do PlayStation games tell us about the important subject of family? We looked into it and, if this is what families are really like, we're going abroad on our own next Christmas. It's not though. In real-life, it's important to love your family, no matter how annoying they are.
Perhaps as a response to all the attention being paid to Microsoft this week (damn them and their dedicated games conference!) Sony has launched a mesmerising new God Of War III trailer for you to drool over. It's got plenty of gameplay, some set piece sneak peaks and lots of angry voice over from Kratos himself. Best bit is probably at the end though. "PS3, It only does Vengeance." Check out the trailer after the jump.
