Heavy Rain is one of the most serious-minded games you’ll ever play. That’s why the above glitch, which takes place during Scott Shelby’s first interview with Lauren Winters, is so pant-wettingly amusing.

Now you see me, now you DON’T. Guess she’s got a bit of underpants elastic caught on something.

Poor, poor Uncharted 2, only a day out the door in Europe and already glitchier than a deep fat frier full of launch model Xbox 360s.

Try blowing up a car in wartorn urban Tibet.  Oopsy daisy.

More Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 goodness for you. Fond of aerial juggles? You might want to give this move a shot. In essence: lop somebody’s foot off, then knock ‘em skyward and press forward and triangle together. Time the kick right, and you’ll bend it like Beckham. Sort of.

Why would you want to do this? Bragging rights, basically. It works on the Xbox 360 original too.

Rachel borrows some threads from the Dynasty Warriors crew.

Ninja Gaiden 2 was a real ball-breaker. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 is slightly less of a ball-breaker, mainly because the camera system has been slipped a few espressos, but still ridiculously tricky. And that, my friends, is what makes it Ninja Gaiden.

Passing on gameplay tips would be a crime against our medium’s increasingly scant reservoirs of trouser-soiling difficulty. If you’re after an easy life, go tuck into Mini Ninjas. Here are a few pointers on the subject of character unlockables instead.
