Impressions: Uncharted
2007-11-10 09:21:00 Ah, Uncharted. The second shell in Sony’s double-barreled Holiday assault (the other being Ratchet and Clank Future). When you’re swamped with grizzly marines (in space or otherwise) and loads of fast cars, it’s hard not to notice a game that takes us back to a simpler times — the days when a guy could just, ...

PSA: 40 Gig On Sale Today!
2007-11-02 19:04:00 Remember everyone! If you’re looking for a new Playstation 3 , the new $399 SKU packed in with Spider-Man 3 (Blu-Ray, not game) should be available starting today. The new model, of course, lacks backwards compatibility with Playstation 2 titles (due to the complete removal of chipsets on the motherboard that deal with such things) and ...

PSN Update: 11-1-07
2007-11-02 00:20:00 I’m really, really sorry for the lack of updates, dear readers. It’s crunch time at school right now (god how I hate the end of term) and on top of that, I’ve got about four or five games on my plate. That doesn’t even account for those I’ll probably pick up in the next couple ... More About: Update
For Whom The Guitar Wails
2007-10-29 20:20:00 I was in a bit of a panic last Saturday. You see, about a week ago, I walked into one of the many local Gamestops to pick up Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction (fabulous game by the way), and decided that I might need to plunk a few dollars down on a pre-order for ...

PSN Update: 10-25-07
2007-10-26 00:16:00 With the Playstation Eye out this week, Sony’s giving us some extra software to go along with it. We’ve got Trials of Topoq, Aqua Vita, and Operation Creature Feature up on the PSN…oh wait, no we don’t. Despite being promised the titles (and, apparently, Europeans getting it), the only “downloadable game” we get this week ... More About: Update , Playstation 3
Eye of Judgment Found!
2007-10-26 00:04:00 Hey everyone, it seems like a few more retailers are getting EoJ in today, even though it’s still a bit spotty. I picked up a copy at Toys R Us right as they’d arrived in boxes, so that might be your best bet. And despite what one Gamestop employee told me (call back Saturday), they ...

Top Gear And Gran Turismo 5 In Unholy Union Of Awesomeness
2007-10-24 21:18:00 Do you love cars? If you do, you probably love Top Gear , the long-running British series in which motorhead Jeremy Clarkson takes various vehicles for a spin and then (usually) rips them apart. OK, there’s a bit more to it than that, but don’t worry because you’ll get to see it all when classic episodes ... More About: Sony , Union , Playstation 3
Eye of Judgment Kicked Back A Day?
2007-10-24 18:08:00 Seems like Eye of Judgment is getting held up somewhere in the supply chain today, as sites like Gamestop.com are now silently listing it as shipping today (the 24th). There’s been no official word from anybody on the matter, but calls to several local stores around the country seem to confirm that it won’t arrive ... More About: Sony , Back , Playstation 3
Warhawk 1.2 Details
2007-10-23 01:21:00 Wow, I haven’t updated in a few days. The weekend might have something to do with that, but my life’s been pretty crazy lately, anyway. I’m currently negotiating my way out of an unfulfilling semester in grad school, but the stress continues to pile up as I head into the home stretch. And then there ...

Dark Void Debut Trailer
2007-10-19 22:48:00 Despite the excitement surrounding Bionic Commando and Street Fighter IV, don’t forget about the new IP Capcom introduced, Dark Void. Seems like this is another one being done by an outside studio (AirTight Games, a company formed by people who worked on Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge), but the gameplay still looks very Capcom ...

Ratchet and Clank Release Pushed Up Again
2007-10-19 22:33:00 Oh man, I already had next week all planned out! The funds set aside, the time allowances that I’d give myself, everything! Now Sony goes and pushes Ratchet and Clank up to the 23rd, and everything is out of whack! Not that I’m really complaining, of course. The sooner I can get my paws on ...

Official EoJ Site Up + Card List
2007-10-19 22:04:00 Seems like the Official Eye of Judgment Website came online today. It includes all sorts of things from instructions on how to play to more details on the universe, itself. Perhaps best of all, we finally get a full card list, so that you can start planning your deck in preparation for next week or ... More About: Card , Site , List , Playstation 3
Best Buy Website Gaffe: Waiting For The 40 Gig Backlash
2007-10-19 21:52:00 Ever since I heard that the 40 gig would come sans PS2 backwards compatibility, I knew that this was inevitable. I knew that someone, somewhere, would screw up the advertising. See Best Buy’s online listing for the new system: Plays your old PlayStation 2 and PlayStation games, DVDs and CDs, so you can merge all of ...

Warhawk, fl0w New Content In December
2007-10-18 23:15:00 News comes from FiringSquad (that’s a site I haven’t heard from in awhile!) that both Warhawk and fl0w will receive content updates sometime in December . Though not a full-blown expansion, Warhawk players will be getting a brand new dropship to fool around with, which will be able to pick up and transport ground vehicles across ...

2007-10-18 21:02:00 Even after Hideo Kojima said he’d like to see a demo hit the Playstation Network at some point, it was revealed on the latest Kojima Productions podcast that the only place the public will actually get to play Metal Gear Solid 4 before its release would be at the E For All Expo, which starts ...

Sony Confirms 40 Gig SKU For NA, Price Drop For 80 Gig
2007-10-18 20:43:00 In a completely expected move, Sony Computer Entertainment President Jack “Friend to the Wookiees” Tretton announced today that the 40 gig Playstation 3 would be coming to America, bundled with Spider-Man 3 on Blu-Ray for $399. Even crazier, something I didn’t expect to happen until the Spring, at least: the 80 gig is being price-dropped ... More About: Sales , Price , Drop
NCSoft: Home Probably Won?t Move Systems
2007-10-17 23:31:00 GamesIndustry.biz asked NCSoft ’s Thomas Bidaux what he thought of Sony ’s HOME service. His reply? “I think Home is very interesting, but I want to see how people use it. Again - content. If there is an incentive for people to go into Home, beyond just customising their avatar, then it will be very, very good. If ... More About: Playstation 3 , Systems
The Elusive Bionic Commando Trailer
2007-10-17 22:58:00 Someone at Capcom ’s web team is probably being scolded right now for popping up a bite-sized, but intriguing trailer on the Official Bionic Commando Site. It’s since been taken down, and despite the best efforts of some sites like GamerSyde to re-upload it, Capcom remains one step ahead — they’ve sent their own legal commandos ...

Playstation 3 Makes Science Happen!
2007-10-17 21:57:00 Some gamers may think that all there is to being a scientist is brandishing a blood-drenched crowbar in a crowd full of zombines or tossing around crates and sawblades using a cool gun and Asshole Physics?, but real ones are taking advantage of the Playstation 3 to complete some truly amazing experiments. We all know what ... More About: Science , Culture , Folding , Sony
School Of Rock: Stephen Totilo Teaches You How To Assemble Rock Band?s Drum
2007-10-17 20:56:00 As cool as Rock Band is, the inevitable stumbling block is all the effort required in making the experience come together: grabbing the bundle, assembling the equipment, finding a comfortable space to put it all in, buying asking over some friends, planning that kick-ass after party, etc. Being a rock star is a lot more ...

Capcom Pulls Back The Curtain On Street Fighter 4, Lost Planet PS3, And Oth
2007-10-17 20:33:00 So it turns out that Bionic Commando wasn’t the real megaton after all. Before the countdown at Capcom Unity ended this morning, Games Radar let it slip that Street Fighter mother-effin-FOUR was in production. Of course, by doing this, Games Radar also felt the business end of a ruler slapping the back of their hands ... More About: Lost , Nintendo , Nintendo Wii , Planet , Xbox 360

2007-10-16 18:39:00 Oh Sony , I thought our relationship was going so well! Why aren’t we keeping an open line of communication here? I’m always finding out about your dirty little secrets from someone else, and if you could just come clean, we wouldn’t need to sustain this little charade any longer.

Capcom: Bionic Commando For Next-Gen Systems
2007-10-16 03:28:00 It’s been in the wings for awhile, more a series of unconfirmed rumors than a total surprise, but Bionic Commando is finally finally finally receiving a true update (coming to PS3, Xbox 360, and PC)! The genesis for the project is rather odd (a collaboration between an American producer, a Japanese creative advisor, and Swedish ... More About: Sony , Playstation 3 , Systems , Capcom
Fanmade Guitar Hero Arcade Cabinet
2007-10-15 07:21:00 It may not have a button box and it may come apart like a stack of Legos, but Knievel’s custom Guitar Hero cabinet is still pretty awesome in its own right. Made out of real Marshall speaker equipment, it’s composed of three sections, each housing a specific component of the system. The center holds the ... More About: Culture , Arcade , Guitar Hero

2007-10-15 04:57:00 Thanks to TTP of NeoGAF for enlightening us as to how showcase mode really works. Below, you can see him manipulating several creature cards from Eye of Judgment : Unfortunately, the animations for each monster are canned, but it would’ve been unrealistic to expect the development team to record a whole set of customized responses for every ...

Rumor: Resistance 2 for ?08
2007-10-15 04:33:00 The enigmatic Surfer Girl strikes again. I’m beginning to doubt that the mysterious blogger is either a “surfer” or a “girl” (on the internet, no ways!). My suspicions lead me to believe that SG is merely a code name or front for an industry insider of some sort. Maybe not a journalist, but someone ...

Toys R Us Haul
2007-10-14 22:42:00 Hey, everyone! If you got out to Toys R Us today, I hope you picked up some good games! As for me, I went with some rather untraditional choices. I pretty much eschewed next-gen games altogether, as I’ve got most of the ones I really want for now and already have a boat load to spend ...
