Unfortunately for our PlayStation 3 brethren, they may never see a fix to the biggest issue plaguing their Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim experience. Fallout: New Vegas director, Joshua Sawyer, says the 'PS3 lag' problem is an "an engine-level issue with how the save game data is stored" and would take a "large time commitment" to fix. Elaborating, he said "the longer you play a character, the more bit differences on objects (characters, pencils on tables, containers, etc.) get saved off and carried aro...

Less than a week ago we reported on the possibility of the recently announced Counter-Strike: Global Offensive enabling cross-platform play between consoles and PC. Kotaku has now published a hands-on article stating that it's a feature of the game and hadn't suggested there was any doubt of its implementation.

We've been talking about Twisted Metal rumours here for a while. Jaffe would drop the odd hint, then drop another to nullify it. It was all very confusing, but the cat is finally out of the bag! Twisted Metal for the PlayStation 3 lands in 2011 with choppers, bikes and 16-player online....
