Jonathan Ross loves many things, not least of allTwitter and controversy, but he loves gaming as well. As part of this month's Super Mario Bros. 25th anniversary the presenter has thrown open the doors to his gaming lair, showing not only his lack of progress on Super Mario Galaxy 2 but also his pixeltastic ceiling.
Series no longer so serious, says producer
Whether you're an old-school Sonic fan or one who's new to the hog's adventures, Sonic Colours looks set to cut fans' feelings right down the middle with its blend of high-speed platforming, multiplayer action and range of power-ups.

Our well of shadow puns is running dry

Hustle Kings isn't about conning monarchy: it's a pool and billiards simulator, with incredibly shiny balls. It's been available on the PlayStation Store since early this year, but it's about to make a big break in the form of brand new content, including support for PlayStation Move.
