It’s true, we didn’t like Lair but that doesn’t mean that we’re not excited about the analog patch (calling itself 2.10) which is up now for download, and weighs in at 150-ish MB. Update: wow, that was fast. Cool, Lair now has ‘analog flight controls’ and crosshairs in the options menu. Note that this [...]

We’ve had word this morning that Factor 5 are planning a patch for the sadly disappointing Lair, which will feature (amongst other things) analog controls, something the game desperately needed in place of the horrible motion sensing. More as we get it. Update: thanks to the email from an anonymous tipster at GDC who claims [...]

Here’s tonight’s PSN update, for European owners. Nothing too exciting, and there doesn’t appear [yet] to be anything remotely related to a Ratchet and Clank demo, which was uploaded to the US Store last week. Still, CTR is a great game, and Everybody’s Golf 2 is a nice way to spend the time [...]

Wow. This is pretty amazing. The first game to take advantage of the PS3’s Remote Play function is Lair, which is out in the States already. You can play the game, in it’s entirety, on your PSP. This becomes mind blowing when you realise that the PSP can be in another [...]

We knew it was likely to be too good to be true, but we still had hope. That hope has now been crushed more thoroughly than our Warhawk opponents as this info from Amazon shows: We are writing to inform you that the price for the following item was displayed incorrectly at the time you [...]

Lair and Folklore are available to pre-order for £14.95. The price is still current, at time of posting, so if you fancy taking a punt then get over to Amazon and do the deed. You can always order Folklore and then try the PSN demo to see if you like it. If not, just [...]

According to the NY Post today, the Ziff David Media group has finally run out of money. Despite adverts all over their websites and successful print magazines, the media company has been struggling with money for over a year, selling itself in little chunks as it tried to wriggle out of debt. Apparently it has [...]
