Sony threw a PlayStation 4 shindig this week and Knack was featured heavily. We were treated to a video, narrated live by PS4 architect and Knack director Mark Cerny, with a lot of the gameplay sliced out in order to focus on the narrative,...

I don't know if you guys have heard about this game. It's called White Knight Chronicles. Ring a bell? It does?! No way! I'm just, you know, surprised that you would even remember this thing. When was it announced? Like 2005? 2006? Who even...

[video]103695:363[/video] After watching the above video, part two of the trailer series for Sony’s NBA 09 The Inside, I may have to eat my harsh words about the title. I’ve been hating on it because of its graphics, but from ti...

[video]102619:314[/video] The last time we told you about NBA 09 The Inside on PS3 was, coincidentally, the first time we told you about NBA 09 The Inside on PS3. Funny how that works, eh? Anyway, in that original post, I mentioned the new...
