I don’t know why everyone has a problem with crashing, I learned how to drive early on by playing Destruction Derby for PlayStation 1! I got all my crashing out of the way early with this game.

Enjoy the review!

Posted by Robert Strick Jnr. On April - 5 - 2010

Chavez says PlayStation is “poison”

Posted by Jens Erik Vaaler On January - 18 - 2010

Yay, more controvery! From, you guess it, another politician. This time it’s Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez’ turn on the soapbox. Apparently Sony’s PlayStation console is “poison” that will lead children down the capitalist “road to hell”.

In Chavez’ weekly radio-TV show “Alo Presidente”, he asked Venezuelan manufacturers to make “educational” toys and dolls in order to replace more capitalistic counterparts like the Barbie doll.

Chavez has already bashed Nintendo for promoting “selfishness, individualism and violence”, but decided to take on Sony as well.

“Those games they call ‘PlayStation’ are poison. Some games teach you to kill. They once put my face on a game, ‘you’ve got to find Chavez to kill him.’”

He went on to say that any game that “bomb cities or just throw bombs,” are sold by capitalist countries to sow violence so they can “later sell weapons”. The games also “promote the need for cigarettes, drugs and alcohol so they can sell them. That’s capitalism, the road to hell,” he added.

Wow… I love the bombastic and uninformed.

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!

Microsoft sued over Xbox Live

Posted by Jon Shire On July - 2 - 2009

Microsoft sued over Xbox Live

Back in 1994, two men by the name of Peter Hochstein and Jeffery Tenenbaum patented a method for playing computer games over a centralised network. In 2004, they raised a case against Sony and Microsoft, believing that their patent was being infringed with PS2′s online system, and Xbox Live.

Finally, after five years, the case is starting to get going… If Microsoft lets it.

You see while most of the time these lawsuits are just people trying to make a quick buck, this one seams legit. Legit enough for Sony to settle out of court for an unpublished sum. Microsoft, on the other hand, despite being entirely able to drop a truck load of high-priced lawyers on the case, is in fact choosing to do anything they possibly can to delay it getting to court.

This has come down to tricks that should fit on a schoolyard, rather than a court of law. They held the case up for weeks in February because of a single typo, and gave the suing parties over 140,000 documents… without an index. Just two examples which are not making Microsoft shine in this particular case.

You will want to follow this, as any result in court could potentially effect the Live service completely.

Original WipEout designers shut down

Posted by Michael O'Connor On January - 27 - 2009

Original WipEout designers shut down

It’s a sad day for the PlayStation Generation… The Designers Republic, the design firm responsible for inventing the legendary, stylish look of the original WipEout game, unfortunately closed its doors earlier today.

A story which appeared on design magazine Creative Review’s blog confirmed the closure.

“We’d lost a couple of clients, didn’t win a couple of pitches, got a tax bill which should have been sorted out and wasn’t and a major client who didn’t pay the money they owed us”, explained company founder Ian Anderson, “in themselves any of those things would have been fine but when they come all at once there’s not much you can do.”

The studio’s staff of nine has unfortunately been made redundant. Anderson has vowed to be back though, and with the mark this company left on gaming culture and designers in general, we wish them the best in their future endeavours and can only hope they return to us soon.

Home in 10 days? No comment from Sony

Posted by Jens Erik Vaaler On December - 8 - 2008

A Times Online report yesterday claimed that PlayStation Home’s open beta would launch in ten days, but a representative from Sony refuses to confirm or deny the claims.

“We’re not commenting on that story, I’m afraid,” said the representative, which in rumour-speak is a usually a definite “yes, it’s true”.

While the piece said the open beta would launch by December 17, Sony’s official statement is still that the app’s release would happen before the end of 2008.
