Not too long ago you had to shell out $700-$800 for a PS3. 4 years later, the PS3 is now on par with the other consoles in terms of price, at $299 for the base model.
THQ’s head of communications Huw Beynon has told VG247 that Metro 2033 will be setting a graphical standard on 360 that hasn’t been "done before".
His quotes come as it was said recently by the company the game on 360 would reach a new graphical benchmark for consoles.
GamingUnion.net writes: "Since the release of the original Mega Man game back on the NES in 1987, Capcom have released numerous titles in the franchise, spanning numerous consoles and handhelds. In 2008, Capcom took the series back to its original roots with Mega Man 9, a throwback to the old "classic" NES style Mega Man titles. While overall the game was just as good as the originals, there were some nagging issues which were readily visible for anyone who played the originals back in the day.
Two years later, Capcom is giving their second try at releasing another throwback with Mega Man 10. Does it improve on its predecessor, or is this Mega Man 9 with a new coat of paint?"
The Mind of Game writes – "Before I get into this editorial/rant, let me set the record straight. I absolutely, positively do not hate Sony itself or the PlayStation brand. I do not blame Sony for the actions of the people who have chosen to stand behind them. I have nothing against the PlayStation brand and I honestly believe that Sony is doing great things with their stable of consoles and handhelds.
Their fanboys on the other hand? They are among the most illogical, irrational, arrogant and all around idiotic group of people I have ever come across. In the past five years of going to various forums and just being in tune with the internet in general as it relates to gaming, I’ve come across just about every type of fanboy you can think of. Microsoft fanboys, Nintendo fanboys, Apple fanboys, even Sega fanboys and none of them, without exception, can compare to Sony fanboys in terms of sheer annoyance."
PC gaming, according to many has been dwindling since consoles started taking over. Take over? What take over? Not when 260 million PCs were shipped in 2007, and only the American market counted as viable by the US press. Valve speaks out.
Lens of Truth writes, "Final Fantasy XIII is easily the most anticipated title of the year. With last year’s announcement that Square Enix would develop for both consoles, fans of both systems were tossed on their heads for which console would hold the better version. Square Enix is renowned for their high quality games for both systems, and this could only mean that the Lens of Truth was staring down one the most interesting Head2Heads to date. So read on and watch the video to Final Fantasy XIII’s Head2Head."
ZeroTolerance Writes: It has been a long time coming, but Kratos is finally going to get his revenge. God of War III is probably the most hyped and anticipated game set to be released this year and for good reason. The series which has now spanned three consoles is one of the most finely tuned and visceral action games on the market. Fans have been clamoring for the closing act for quite some time now after its announcement, and finally we get to see how it all ends. There are a lot of words to describe God of War III but the one that best fits, and one I will be using throughout this review is simply, epic.
Brett Walton: "Final Fantasy XIII pre-orders hit 475,000 units this week, with over 70% of those for the PS3 version. For week one sales, I don’t expect the split to be quite as strongly in favour of the PS3 version because whereas a lot of loyal Final Fantasy fans (the kind who would pre-order) will be PS3 owners, the more casual buyers will be more evenly split between consoles, as well as the Xbox360 bundle that is being offered and heavier advertising for the 360 version. For week one sales, I’d estimate around 400,000 on PS3 and 250,000 on Xbox 360."
The Gaming Vault has been receiving reports by emails since this morning from some owners of PS3 Slim consoles claiming that their PS3s are being affected by the issues plaguing PlayStation 3 console and the PlayStation Network today.
