The last decade’s seen Sega sailing its venerable Sonic franchise through some decidedly choppy waters. Indeed, ever since the Japanese giant’s ubiquitous blue mascot made the transition to the third dimension in the late 90s, things haven’t been exactly hunky-dory for the speedy anthropomorphic hedgehog. In fact, they’ve been bloody awful. Still, after a deluge of dismal efforts — including 2006’s notoriously rubbish eponymous outing...
So as always I was browsing around the internet looking at the hottest topics out there, and found something common is yet again getting hot. The whole PlayStation Network vs Xbox Live is back at it once again. I read an article over at another site that tries to justify the price tag slapped on Xbox Live. So I thought, why not look at it in a different light and see just how PlayStation Network stacks up? Afterall we are not trying to promote a Xbox Live subscription give away here.
PlayStation Move will hold a significant installed based advantage over Kinect by the time Microsoft's motion controller launches on November 10.
"Move sold well and continues to sell well," SCE UK marketing director Alan Duncan told MCV. "It is all about getting the device in people's hands and we still need to keep doing that. It has been a real success for us, we're pretty much through a quarter of a million...
Sony has updated the Playstation Blog with word that Ubisoft Entertainment will be providing buyers of the PS3 version of Assassin`s Creed: Brotherhood with some free DLC. Exclusive to PS3.
This additional content revolves around Renaissance astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus (see what I did there?), who will have extra assignments for Ezio, including courier, assassination and protection missions. The missions are part of a storyline involving a conspiracy against Copernicus and his heliocentric philosophy, which was revolutionary at the time.
Hi Guys Gaminglargest here and yes your dreams have came true call of duty black ops has annoused Zombies and proof watch the amazing video below to see ZOMBIES !!!!!!!
Sometimes, we all feel a bit adventurous when it comes to DIY. You know the logic - 'I'm an intelligent twenty-something man - why shouldn't I be able to fix a broken gadget?' However, thoughts like this almost always precede a trip to the shops to buy a replacement for said gadget.
It seems consoles and their peripherals are just like modern cars. In the past, you could open them up and see what's going wrong - these days you're just met with alien components and bewilderment. But that just made me more determined than ever to fix my broken DualShock 3.
There's nothing like the threat of losing a few fingers to discourage gamers from buying shoddy, off-brand gaming accessories. In its ongoing effort to protect the public from the evils of counterfeiting, Sony has released a consumer alert warning gamers of the potentially explosive risks when using knock-off PlayStation 3 Wireless Controllers.
Referring to the mock controllers as “practically identical in appearance to genuine PlayStation 3 Wireless Controllers”, Sony warns: “It is possible that some counterfeit product may ignite or explode, resulting in injury or damage to the user,...

Capcom has denied that the Japanese giant is “alienating” PlayStation 3 owners following the announcement of exclusive downloadable content for the Xbox 360 version of Dead Rising 2.
The publisher announced during its Tokyo Game Show press event last week that it would be bringing the mini-chapter Case: West exclusively to the 360, which pairs Dead Rising 2 protagonist Chuck Greene with original zombie killer Frank West.
However, co-producer Shinsaku Ohara insists that this isn’t a case of giving PS3 owners the short end of the stick; rather, it’s Capcom’s way of thanking...

As Yakuza 3 was making its long-awaited international debut earlier this month, its sequel was already tearing up the Japanese sales charts. Media Create released its retail sales figures for the week of March 15-21, and Sega's PlayStation 3-exclusive Yakuza 4 was well ahead of the pack, selling 383,972 copies in its debut week.
Yakuza 4 ended the two-week reign of Pokemon Ranger in flashy mobster style.
To many fans of the SOCOM series, 2008's SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation was a disappointment. Developed by Slant Six, the shooter series' multiplayer-only PlayStation 3 debut was heavily criticized for rampant technical issues. Many wished it would return to the hands of original developer Zipper Interactive, which was busy working on the 256-player multiplayer shooter MAG at the time.

Ashley young:Heavy Rain was a great experience. One that I've never had delivered by a videogame before. It presented a cinematic style of gameplay that was both intensely hardcore, yet accessible for non-gamers. It was one of the first games where my girlfriend was actually interested in the plotline. And it was the only game that she actually thought she could play by herself on the easiest setting and be able to make it all the way through. Heavy Rain is special for a lot of reasons, but to me, that rises above the rest.
And the acting is the best I've seen in videogames (sorry...
Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

Seven years passed between the events of the acclaimed Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and its sequel The Warrior Within. The events of those seven years, when the Prince went from a happy-go-lucky charmer to a hardened metal head, are unknown -- until now. The Forgotten Sands offers fans a glimpse at what happened to the Prince in those lost years.
The Forgotten Sands kicks off with the Prince arriving at his brother Malik's palace, which is under siege. The opening scenes of a large scale battle and the destruction of a gorgeous...
We ponder the possibilities of the new episode featuring Ezio. by GamingLargest staff
Ubisoft recently announced a brand new installment in the Assassin's Creed series. This is a brand new title that features Ezio, the main character from Assassin's Creed II. Surprisingly, it will also feature multiplayer. Now that we know the rough time period in which the game will take place, we can narrow down a bit of the plot and place our bets on how multiple assassins will interact. Our best guess: there will be a lot of stabbing. Read on to see what the GamingLargest editors think about this announcement and how it will affect the series.
Activision hasn't given up on the music gaming genre.
In an interview with Game Informer, President and CEO Bobby Kotick confirmed the company is set to release a follow up title to its latest turn-table music game DJ Hero.
Kotick was asked about the company's long-term commitment plans to creating new franchises and said a new DJ hero title will be released in 2010.
"We think DJ Hero is a really innovative product. We can't wait for you to see next year's," he said. "That's the thing; we're sticking with it. We'll stick with it and get it right."...
PSNVDS, your time (and your silly acronym) could be up.
According to the all-knowing font that is The Mirror, Sony and Samsung have teamed up with LOVEFiLM to provide on-demand streaming for their Bravia TV range. Extrapolating further, the paper has then decided that the service “hints at the possibility of the PS3 gaining LOVEFiLM streaming” because “LOVEFiLM will be integrated into the XrossMediaBar menus on the new Bravias” which, as our readers will know, is the same menu system as used on the PS3. LOVEFiLM is preparing an announcement in the next few days, apparently, and...
Welcome back to the second Trophy World of 2010! I need to start getting used to writing 10 now… I’ll miss writing that lovable zero first. Back on topic now, we’ve fortunately had some trophy lists posted this week, but things still haven’t really started picking up. I really was expecting a few others this past week but I have some idea as to why they haven’t made their appearance yet. Hopefully we shall witness some MAGnificent Heavy Rain this week. Anyways, as usual, this week’s lists are below:
Citing "production-related matters" the much anticipated racing title from Polyphony Digital will no longer be shipping this coming March in Japan.
Reuters is reporting Sony has delayed the release of Gran Turismo 5 to an unspecified date, which the company plans to update in the future.
Sony had yet to announce release dates for North American and European territories, but this news certainly doesn't bode well for fans anticipating a March worldwide release.
GAMINGLARGEST has contacted SCEA for additional comment and info. We'll...
hope you have alot of offline stuff planed to do !!
The PSN will undergo maintenance today for a scheduled period of nine hours. Though the service is not expected to go dark for the duration of the tidy-up, you may get unceremoniously booted off the network at 21:00. Does that mean there’s maintenance every day? I’m joking. Full text from Community Team Leader MB* follows: <BLOCKQUOTE>
All,
Please be aware that the PlayStation Network will undergo scheduled maintenance today from 16:00 GMT.
During the maintenance, you will still be able to sign-in...
Appearing on a N4G forum, there are some new God of War III pictures from a Japanese magazine that someone has kindly taken the time to scan and show the world. Kratos’ 3rd PS3 outing is shaping up to be one hell of an epic adventure and the playable demo was evidence of that. Poseidon appears in the first set of screens in what looks like a breathtaking encounter with our bald, blade-wielding protagonist.
(Update 3) PS3 exclusive for February – pre-order inside
Unconfirmed just yet (although we’ve fired off an email to Sony) but we’re getting reports in that PS3 exclusive AAA title Heavy Rain will indeed be released on the 26th of February in the UK. Independent retail sources have all pointed at the same date, which of course matches up with that seen by HMV earlier, and suggest a retail price of £49.99 although pre-orders are currently floating around ten pounds less than that. We’ll update when we can, but for now, we’re pretty sure that’s...
According to the Internet, James Cameron’s Avatar is quite probably the greatest film ever made. Probably not even a film, more like the birth of a new entertainment medium. Avatar the game therefore has a lot to live up to, and despite it having no chance of doing so, it isn’t quite the washout you might expect. Avatar opens with your basic introduction to the world of Pandora through the eyes of the human military. Set in the third person, you’re soon off from character to character – sporting over-head graphics to identify them – to receive...
You may recall Sony registered Qriocity a while back and the mysterious trademark has been revealed to be.. an on demand video service. The a recent demo at the CES was shown on a Sony Viao TV but as we know Sony are aiming to create one unified media network then this should be coming to the PSN at some point. So, what’s the difference between Qriocity and the current PSN Video store? Qriocity streams videos and will test your internet connection and adjust the quality of the stream accordingly with movies starting...
Playboy magazine have a feature this month staring everyone’s favourite witch superbabe as portrayed by five Playmates.

We shouldn’t have...
So, now that you’ve suffered the 1.8 GB this-operation-can-not-be-performed-in-the-background download of the final beta to Zipper’s incoming MAG, how’s it working out for you? Are you running around dying every thirty seconds? Or have you already mastered the fine art of command and are consistently owning newbs left, right and centre?
Probably not considering the servers are borked. Despite some people...
More time leads to more killing, so lock and load.
The official MAG blog has just been updated to announce that the current beta will be extended for a little bit longer than the current November 20th end date. No specific timeframe has been given, but it sounds like it'll last a week or two longer than expected. The blog teases that information on how to get into the next beta will be revealed next week.
Also on the blog, it's noted that if you've already redeemed your beta code and are up and running, then you'll just need to make an additional download to get into the next beta (but you're set and in). Folks...
Ubisoft Montreal's Kevin Shortt has confirmed that Far Cry 3 is in development, with the game looking 'pretty exciting' at this early stage.

Looks like you'll have time to play this after all.
It appears Rockstar Games is avoiding the busy early months of 2010 by confirming the release month of Red Dead Redemption for this coming April, the company said in a press release.
With God of War III, Final Fantasy XIII, Mass Effect 2, and BioShock 2 all due before then, we can't blame them.
The web version of the announcement now only says "coming soon," for the release however, which means it looks like someone slipped up.
The official trailer - "My name is John Marston" - is set to debut next week on December 1.
Gamers can chow down on a new way to play the classic title.
San Mateo, Calif. - Table for 8?
