'Pixel Junk Monsters' PSP Piracy May Hinder Future Portable Pixel Junks
So basically it's not a death rattle for any future Pixel Junk PSP releases, but the outlook isn't good. Given the required development time on a PSP-specific project, it makes sense that a developer wouldn't want to risk it. It's just interesting to hear such worrying comments from a devel...

‘Watchmen: The End is Nigh’ Scoreless Review: Three Hours Of Bone-Breaking
Now you need to answer a question: should the video game version of that source material evoke the same adjectives? And if it doesn’t, is that a problem? Remember, it’s a just a beat-em-up. This video game looked like the “Watchmen.” It didn’t feel like the “Watchmen.” That’s not what I want.

One of the most impressive piece of software I tried at a recent EA event wasn’t a game — it was EA’s smartly designed sports hangout for the PlayStation 3.

Game Diary - February 10, 2009: Testing The New ‘Burnout Paradise’
I have to start negatively. The game’s re-revised front-end made a poor “first” impression. Seeing an analog-stick controlled web browser on a PlayStation 3 brought back memories of the original, horrid PlayStation Network store. I’ve praised Criterion for the team’s embrace of Facebo...
