Oh dear. Yesterday we reported that the Sony Xperia Play had seemed to have fallen off the back of the Sony Ice Cream Sandwich wagon. Now Sony’s made the official announcement: the Playstation Phone won’t be joining the Android 4.0 party. Ever. Why not? Read on to find out… Read more
E3 2012 is just around the corner, and promises to spill the usual gamut of gaming guts all over LA’s gargantuan convention centre. This year the hardware news is all a bit up in the air. No one know what’s going to happen in terms of PS4s and Xbox 720s, but we do know that the developers have plenty of games in store to make up for it.
So what’s going to be best in show? It’s anyone’s guess at this stage, but we do have several inklings. Want to know which titles to look out for above all others? Here’s our pick of the year’s best upcoming games… Read more
E3 2012 looks as though it might not be the hardware fest that we’d hoped for. While early rumours hinted at a launch for both the PS4 and Xbox 720, the gossip’s quietened down enough to make both seem unlikely.

With such a massive franchise under its belt, you can expect the world’s eyes to be upon your next big gaming series. Will ‘Destiny’, which has been revealed in an Activision contract, live up to that expectation? Read more
Sony Music Unlimited, Sony’s answer to subscription song services like Spotify, has just landed on the iPhone. The app, which has been available on Android since last year, can now be downloaded by lucky iPhone users in New Zealand – usually an impending sign that a global roll out of an iOS app is happening.
