Depends how old the PS3 game is. The style on the left is from the console's George Foreman grill/Spider-Man logo days. You start seeing PS3 games in the other style of box after the slim console was released, I think.

I guess MVM didn't want to feel left out of the delay wars. I'm still not betting against them though.

Back when I placed my orders at the start of December, I semi-jokingly wondered if I would receive Lycoris Recoil from MVM before my All the Anime orders. We're now a month out from that release date and it's starting to look like a tight race.

https://www.eurogamer.net/sony-state-of-play-february-2026-everything-announced Last night's Sony State of Play was once of their better streams in recent years. Highlights included: Legacy of Kain Defiance remaster, a new Dead or Alive is in development, Metal Gear Solid 4 is finally getting...

Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes This is an odd one; a total remake of MGS1, released less than six years after MGS1, and it remains a Gamecube exclusive to this day (probably due to legal issues related to Nintendo's involvement and Silicon Knights shutting down). I've played both versions of...

It does take a while to get into the game's unique rhythm. I think what made it click for me was when I realised that stopping midway through a hack doesn't reset its progress, so you can dodge or reposition without having to redo the whole puzzle. I don't think the demo explained that.

There's a demo for Pragmata, if anyone is on the fence about this game's unusual mix of real-time puzzling during combat. I'm impressed by what I've seen so far. It channels the era of wild experimentation at Capcom that gave us the likes of PN03 and Killer7.

Metal Gear Solid Delta An amazing graphical upgrade, modernised controls, and welcome quality of life improvements for what is possibly the best MGS game. As I understand it, the developer took the same approach as the recent Oblivion remaster, where the original game logic is retained but the...

Dino Crisis I revisit Capcom's PS1 horror games quite frequently, but this is always the most awkward one to get through (as long as we ignore the atrocious Resident Evil Survivor, which deserves to be forgotten). When a developer makes a bunch of similar games these days, we expect there to be...

From the avatar, I assume you're among those of us waiting in vain for Sega to do anything with Skies of Arcadia.

Arrow's UK release of Hard Boiled is coming to cinemas on 6th March and separate UHD and BD versions on 30th March. There's a massive selection of special features on the discs, and the new cover art looks amazing. https://www.arrowfilms.com/p/blu-ray/hard-boiled-limited-edition/17656362/

Weapons A school class of young children disappear on the same night, except for one boy, and we follow several people from the town as they deal with the aftermath and slowly figure out what happened. Billed as horror, this movie's real strength is as a mystery. It's intriguing and atmospheric...

That would explain why Discotek are finding it necessary to list more of their titles on the MediaOCD store.

So the true danger was not in the heart but in the menu. 🤔

In what way is it incomplete?
