With last year’s E3 conferences all about the new consoles, this year the games were the centrepiece. Sony were keen on showing us quite a lot of them. If E3 was a fight – and it sort of is, let’s face it – Sony once again stepped it up. Microsoft’s Xbox conference was an improvement …
The PlayStation 3 “super slim” has been one of the internet’s worst kept secrets of recent times. It’s now official, and it’s just a week away from release. Sony claims that it’s 25 per cent smaller and 20 per cent lighter than the current model. There’s a sliding disk cover on the top, which appears …
Sony’s E3 2012 press conference came and went, much as expected, and a little light on dramatic unveilings.

I suppose this could be a new feature, “games I spent too much time slowly playing through and should have reviewed but kind of forgot to, so thought I’d better write something about them just for the sake of it”. So here isn’t a review of Final Fantasy XIII – but rather some unordered words …
Engadget have a mildly interesting piece on their hands-on with the PlayStation Move, Sony’s first foray into the world of dildonics. Or their version of a wiimote – which looks and acts almost exactly like a wiimote + nunchuk, albeit with a stupid ping pong ball on the top. Rather than fancy magic, the PlayStation …
Could news of a PS3 firmware update possibly be considered interesting? Well, PS3 firmware 3.15 has a nice little feature – PSP Mini emulation on the PS3. So, if you can’t be bothered to dust off your PSP to play one of the nifty PSP Mini games such as Fieldrunners or Tetris, you can now play …
