By Gavin Mannion

It’s when a producer has a game that can work on the ‘DVD level’ that …

April 3, 2007 - 19 years ago

According to www.vgchartz.com the PS3 has now broken the 3 million mark in sales. Not shipped but actually sold.

April 2, 2007 - 19 years ago

Jane Cavanagh, Eidos CEO, has commented that whilst they think the PS3 will be a successful platform they are not going to be publishing any games for it until the second half of 2008. Why?
