inFamous 2 Review

inFamous 2 released exclusively on the PlayStation 3 last week but you may not have heard too much about it because the E3 video game expo overshadowed everything else in gaming. That’s too bad because this is a really good game that improves on the first one and introduces some quality elements to the franchise. It’s one of those games that every PS3 owner should at least try..

Bad news for PlayStation 3 gamers who were holding out for Epic Games to bring its Gears of War 3 franchise to the Sony do-it-all box. Cliff Bleszinski or “CliffyB” as he is so often called says the third-person chainsaw-gunning series will remain an Xbox 360 exclusive for the foreseeable future. Why doesn’t the man want to bring it to more powerful PS3 console? Here’s a hint: it.

Sony is giving a gift to users who haven’t yet signed up for Music Unlimited. The streaming, subscription-based music service is kind of like Pandora’s online radio system, except users can search for and playback specific music tracks, and can also download tracks as they listen to them over the nonstop streaming channels. At least, those are the features for the top tier of. 

L.A. Noire Review

L.A. Noire is the latest Rockstar open world game. Contrary to games like Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption, in which the player was allowed to do unlawful acts, in Noire you are a cop, a detective and are required to follow the law as you solve cases. This fundamentally changes the gameplay and makes the title feel fresh. Yes folks, Rockstar has done it again. L.A. Noire is a classic. Gameplay: L.A..

I think Sucker Punch has done something pretty interesting with the sequel to their beloved sandbox superhero game. Despite many players working their way through the first inFamous game on the PS3 and successfully saving Empire City (New York) from the Beast, within a couple minutes of booting up inFamous 2, we find the city gets destroyed. So was there a point to the story in the first.

Is the PlayStation 3 nearing the end? No way, says Sony deputy president Kaz Hirai. After talking about the recent PlayStation Network calamity, Hirai told Guardian.co.uk that Sony is sticking by their 10-year model.

CCP’s chief technology officer, Halldor Fannar, revealed that Sony offered far more flexibility than its rivals when working on innovative new project, DUST 514. “Let’s just say that with Sony at least they have policies that allow us to build the game the way we want,” said Fannar during a recent E3 presentation. “This is why we have gone with PSN.” Although.

Vanillaware and UTV Ignition announced today that a brand new IP is arriving exclusively for the PlayStation brand called Dragon’s Crown. It’s a unique four-player cooperative title made in the same vein as Vanillaware’s previous outings, Odin Sphere and Muramasa. I don’t think this game is quite as dynamic with its artistic flavor as Muramasa was. Nonetheless, it’s still a strikingly.

Trion Worlds landed a critical hit earlier this year with Rift, its first massively multiplayer online role-playing game. However, that’s not all the nascent studio has in the works, as Trion Worlds has been collaborating with the SyFy Network on a second MMOG since 2008. Trion will be following up Rift with Defiance.
