Holy Threat of Prosecution, Badman!

Posted by Alex Donaldson On February - 9 - 2010

Nippon Ichi America have been forced to change the name of their “Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman!” series of games because it is a ‘conflict of interest’ with an existing property.

The name of the franchise has been changed to “What did I Do to Deserve This, My Lord!?” with immediate effect. Due to the name change the original game has been removed from download on the Playstation Store so the name can be changed.

The sequel has also been delayed until May 4th to allow the necessary changes to be made.

The old name was a tribute to the old Batman TV series, where Robin would constantly exclaim “Holy ____, Batman!”

Uncharted 2 takes over largest game store in UK

Posted by Michael O'Connor On November - 2 - 2009

When we weren’t busy eyeing up Sony’s impressive booth at the Bullring Centre in Birmingham, England, another impressive show of force by Sony caught our eye – Nathan Drake is making his face known in style!

Take a look for yourself.

It’s rather impressive.

Uncharted 2 takes over largest game store in UK

The GameStation store in the Bullring Centre is the largest games store in the UK (in terms of floor space), and Sony clearly hasn’t wasted any time in getting Nathan Drake’s face out there where people will see it.

Sony and PlayStation takes over UK retail

Posted by Michael O'Connor On November - 2 - 2009

The console industry is a huge and competitive market, Sony aren’t sitting on their laurels, and they’ve taken the fight to the Bull Ring.

The Bullring Centre in Birmingham, England, is one of the largest shopping centres in Europe. Imagine our surprise when we pop into the centre, only to see Sony had come out in full force to promote the PlayStation name to the public, with a truly impressive display.

A bird's eye view of one of the most recognisable symbols in gaming today. It's certainly a smart way to make people take notice of your brand logo!

PlayStation division sales plummet

Posted by Michael O'Connor On October - 30 - 2009

PlayStation division sales plummet

Sony’s PlayStation and Vaio division has just reported a 24.2 percent drop in sales compared to Q2 2008, down from 465.2 billion yen to 352.6 billion yen. Losses for this period widened from 40.6 billion yen to 58.8 billion yen.

First half sales have gone done to 599.5 from 859.6 in the previous corresponding period. Losses extended from 36 billion yen to 98.6 billion yen.

Sony is blaming “a deterioration in Vaio PC and the game business profitability,” and, “Deterioration due to a decrease in PS2 hardware and software unit sales, and the impact of foreign exchange rates,” for the figures.

This brings Sony’s total losses in the PlayStation division at $4.7bn since the release of the PlayStation 3. Ouch.

New Peace Walker Demo coming soon

Posted by Matthew French On October - 29 - 2009

At TGS 2009 Kojima Productions released two different demos of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. One was available for all at sites such as IGN, and another exclusive to Konami’s TGS 09 show room floor.

This new demo is said to contain the missing level from the downloadable demo, aswell as extras. Some of these extras are;

New control scheme
A third control scheme is said to be “unlockable”. Unlock a control scheme? Seriously?

New enhanced AI
Many people will agree that the Peace Walker AI had its glitches. Such as standing right in front of a guy, and not being seen. Aswell as standing behind, holding them up, and getting caught.

Mountain Level
The missing level from the downloadable demo will be available.

When will the demo be available? November 1st. Less then a week away. You will be able to get it on the Japanese PlayStation Store, and from the Peace Walker Official Site. No word on if this will contain atleast English subtitles, or will be all-Japanese.

New MGS: Peace Walker video from TGS ’09

Posted by Michael O'Connor On September - 24 - 2009

A nine minute trailer, and some gameplay videos for the PSP-exclusive Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker surfaced at the Tokyo Game Show today, and they’re really quite impressive to look at.

If these haven’t been digitally enhanced then colour me very impressed. It looks as good as (if not better) than the PS2 games did, and those still look impressive even now.

It’s important to note that while the game looks as good as the PS2 titles, the game employs all the improved gameplay mechanics from Metal Gear Solid 4, such over-the-shoulder aiming, improved close quarters combat, and a forward facing camera angle instead of the older titles overhead view.

Check them out after the cut.

Sony’s TGS line-up revealed

Posted by Gareth Chadwick On September - 11 - 2009

Sony have announced their line-up for TGS at the end of the month, which predictably contains a large amount of games that everyone is dying to stick into their PS3s and push their buttons.

There’s no mention of The Last Guardian, but there are two unannounced games. We don’t know what they are, however, because they haven’t been announced. Obviously.

There’s also something called Golden Sword And The Vanished Fleet: Drakes Fortune, which is an enigma. Your guess is as good as ours.

You can see the list after the break.

Monster Hunter Freedom Unite passes 3.5mil sales in Japan

Posted by Michael O'Connor On July - 8 - 2009

Oh look, the ridiculously popular handheld franchise has managed to achieve ridiculously high sales.

Monster Hunter Freedom Unite and Monster Hunter Freedom Unite PSP The Best have apparently shipped more than 3.5 million units between themselves in Japan, Capcom said in a press release today.

The game originally launched March 2008 in the country, and hit western shores earlier this month.

Assassin’s Creed PSP screenshots are impressive

Posted by Michael O'Connor On June - 10 - 2009

Assassin’s Creed on the PSP will be a fully fledged 3D title with a new story, bridging the gap between the original game and Assassin’s Creed 2.

And considering this is running on a PSP, it looks pretty damn impressive when compared to the PS3 / 360 games of the same name.

Take a look for yourself.
