Peter Molyneux Says Fable III Was A Trainwreck

Peter Molyneux has spent the last few years trying to rectify his public image. He's admitted multiple times - at conventions and in personal interviews - that he used to get a bit too excited about the project he was working on at the time, and that he may have focussed on the wrong things when selling a game. It's quite refreshing that someone who is obviously quite a capable speaker is now open to speak his mind a little more honestly, but his thoughts on Fable III are more brutal than you might expect.

Anal Probing Out For EU South Park: The Stick of Truth

There's one problem in the gaming world that no developer has yet found a way to rectify. Let's face it: there's just not enough anal probing. Or abortion. Obsidian, with their friends from South Park Studios, have managed to change that, although not everybody is going to benefit from the wonders they've bestowed on the industry.

inFAMOUS: Second Son Goes Gold

Sucker Punch Productions are celebrating a "big day" today after revealing that upcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive inFAMOUS: Second Son has gone gold.

Toukiden: The Age of Demons Review

For fans of the genre, Toukiden is a nice time-waster for the Vita. It's well made, with few faults outside of its inability to shake things up.

Google Celebrates Freddie Mercury’s Birthday With A Google Doodle

The Queen front man, known for his incredible high notes and awesome stage presence, is being celebrated even further - he's being awarded his very own Google Doodle.

Rock Band DLC For The Week Of September 5th – EMF And Cheap Trick

Rock Band adds some classic Guitar Hero songs to its catalogue this week with the addition of Cheap Trick, and the tracks are, of course, pretty catchy in their own right. If that doesn't get your band's blood a-pumping, 90s hit Unbelievable will also be made available to download.

Modern Warfare 3 Multiplayer Trailer Shows Killstreaks, Maps And Chicken

The guys over at Activision sure know how to make a fantastic trailer. The Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer teaser below shows the new killstreak features, some of the maps and, at two minutes in, a chicken. Why the hell not?

Sony: 3 Million New Customers Since PSN Downtime

The PSN downtime must have cost Sony millions of dollars, but they've proven once and for all that it hasn't affected their ability to provide a quality service.

Call of Duty Elite Paid Features Outlined

We've known since the original announcement that the service wouldn't all be free and at the newly announced price of $50 for a year, Activision better be ready to impress.
