E3 ‘09: Uncharted 2

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves picks up where the first game left off, only this time, the focus is on developing the main character by piling as many intense situations onto him as possible. This makes for an edge-of-your-seat roller coaster ride of a game, full of thrills and spills, and cinematic-quality storytelling.
If all of that was too much hyperbole, let me boil it down for you: I don’t own a PS3, but after seeing Uncharted 2 in action, I’ve never wanted to own one more.
E3 ‘09: Heavy Rain

The PS3 exclusive Heavy Rain is one of the most talked about titles of the year, though no one is entirely sure what kind of game it is. Is it an adventure? A shooter? An advanced platformer? The trailer and screenshots don’t make it all that much clearer, but what you will see is that the game looks stunning, with ultra photo-realism, and that it has a rather impressive storyline going for it as well. Take a look.

Note that this trailer is not recommended for younger viewers.

Fallout 3 DLC Coming to PS3

And the heavens [and me] rejoiced!
I have read over the past couple of months about all of the wonderful, AMAZING [!!!] DLC [downloadable content] that has been available to PC and XBOX360 users who play Fallout 3 and have felt a smidge of envy.
OK. It was all out envy and lust and a pinch of anger tossed in for good measure.
While I readily admit that I LOVE my PS3 and am happy with my favorite platform, the lack of DLC for a game that has sucked me into the black hole of time suckage left me bitter.
Apparently Bethesda felt my …read more

There are several models to choose from if you are considering a PlayStation 3 and it can be hard for potential buyers to know what features suit their gaming style best. After reading an article on the subject, I’ve decided to try to demystify the buying process.
The 20GB console is the least expensive but it’s also the least powerful. There is less disk space and gamers will not be able to connect and play games online. You will, however, be able to play PS1 and PS2 games via the Emotion Engine along with those for the PS3. This console is …read more
PlayStation 3 Getting Copycat Wii Controller?
May 2, 2009 by Jeanne Dupuis
Filed under Gaming
Browsing around this morning, I read several reports about Sony allegedly having plans to introduce a new motion-sensing controller for the PlayStation 3. The most thorough and convincing article on the matter appears on Variety’s “The Cut Scene” blog.
Apparently, the new addition is set top be unveiled at the upcoming E3 gaming convention this June and I’m pretty curious about it. Of the three main consoles right now, PS3 appeals to me the least but it has to do with game selection just as much as anything else. What’s next? Sony will come out with a Mario-type character to …read more

I think this game is being released for every single platform known to man:Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Playstation 2, PSP, Wii and Nintendo DS.
I’ve never been very much of a fan of the whole comic book scene [though I do have an unnatural amount of lust love for Wolverine] but I know that there are a lot of people out there whole eat this stuff up.
Who am I to keep these pretty, pretty pictures from you guys?
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 is set to hit this fall.
