  • Playstation Vita Region Free confirmed

    We would like to congratulate Sony on their decision that (to the best of their knowledge caveat) the PS Vita will be region free.

    Whilst Nintendo went mad and locked down their 3DS handheld after years of region-free handheld gaming, common-sense has prevailed at Sony. This will make life easier for importers who wish to try games only released in single territories, or to buy games while travelling.

    Well played Sony!

    Now if you would just let those of us in Euroland actually buy the games from Play-Asia, then everyone's a winner.

      Excellent stuff, just hope they're still lax on PSN region protection too.

      Good to see this forward-thinking attitude. Now there is no excuse for pirating games just because they aren't available in one region.

      Great decision...but as charlesr alluded to in the article, it won't make that much difference if the likes of Play-Asia and their peers still refuse to sell JPN & US PSVita games (and hardware, for that matter) to Europe.

  • Radiohead KID A MNESIA Exhibition - Report
    by Adrian Purser
    Appearing recently on digital storefronts, this digital exhibition coincides with the 20th anniversary re-release and bringing together of Radiohead's Kid A and Amnesiac albums. It's been made in collaboration between the band and Epic Games, though it's also very quick to tell you that it is not a game, epic or otherwise. That, I think, is a mixture of nervous expectation-setting, alongside its creators selling both games, and what they've created, short.
    Unless you're one of those sorts...

  • Datel Freeloader Review - Action Replay Gamecube Region Free disc
    by Charles R
    Once upon a time, there was a Freeloader. It was late, as usual, but everyone waited with baited breath, because it promised much.

    And so it came to pass, the Freeloader finally arrived, and oh what gifts it brought. The ability to de-zone everyone's Gamecubes. Finally, an easy (and cheap) way for anyone in the world to play games from anywhere else in the world. It was welcomed with open arms.
    Datel, after many delays, have now released their de-zoning disc. Twice. The f...

  • Goldeneye N64 Retrospective
    by Archives
    Describing the greatness of Goldeneye isn't the easiest task in the world. If you were to show it to a gamer who has recently been showered with PC First Person Shooters such as Far Cry, then they'd scoff at the low-polygon landscapes, the poor digitised textures of Robbie Coltrane and the frame rate equivalent to the IQ of a table leg. They'd be missing the point though, as levels such as "Surface" are the forebears to Far Cry's grand vistas.
    Which leads us nicely into one of the reaso...

    Fire Pro Wrestling Returns for the Sony Playstation2:

    Match Options Menu - appears before each match

    The selectable parts of these options all change, but we've translated what's in the screenshot anyway. Also this is a scroll menu and there's an option that doesn't appear on this screen unless you scroll, which is "Referee Select" (Left side) User Settings - 1 Blue Corner - 1P Red Corner - CP Match Rule -...

  • TGS 2003 - Tokyo Game Show Report
    by Archives
    As a first visit to any kind of games show, it was going to be very interesting to see what all the fuss was about. I remember reading about the Tokyo Game Show among other shows in magazines years back and having a sense of delight and amazement. Did you ever dream of going to a game show in Japan? I'm sure it's something most avid gamers can associate with. On Sunday the 28th of September, my wife and I headed towards Makuhari messe from western Tokyo, a journey of 2 hours. When we finally ...
