Greetings friends...There have been some particular juicy news stories this week in the wake of CES 2010 and I have decided to post um up here for your reading/viewing pleasure, ease of reference or even just in case you have simply missed some...
First of all let
me start with the game I am probably looking forward to the most...God of War 3. From reading some of my previous posts you may have got the impression that I am a tad excited about Krato's new and final (?!?) adventure. Well if I was excited before I am practically shaking with anticipation following the release of some recent screenshots (click on the link and see for yourself. you won't be disappointed, i promise!). While they are only scans from a Japanese magazine and a bit crude, you are still able to get a feel of the scale that Santa Monica Studio are aiming for with God of War 3. Just check out the pic halfway down of what seems to be Kratos scaling the arm of a gargantuan Titan... awesome. Enjoy!
Furthermore there is a statement on the same page saying that video footage is scheduled for release on the 18/01/2010. I'll post it up here once unleashed...
Finally on the subject of God of War it was announced earlier today (11/01/10) by Sony that the God of War 3: Ultimate Trilogy Edition will be priced at £109.99. While on the surface this seems expensive (seeing as you will probably be able to get GoW 3 for £35-£40 and presently the Collection is going for £27 on Movietyme) on further inspection it is a particularly nice package. For your 110 notes you get GoW 3 and (previously only available in the US) the GoW collection, 2 audio CDs, full length documentary, exclusive artwork and a ton of DLC. On top of that it comes in a lovely replica of Pandora's box. It is a genuine thing of beauty. If you compare this to the ridiculous Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Prestige edition which was £120, then i think its a steal!.
- Next up Gran Turismo...With it looking more and more likely that GT5 will finally see the light around Easter, in Japan at least, some new gameplay videos have surfaced and it all looks rather nice (understatement!?!). Watch the vid's below and make your own mind up..."Forza what?" I here you say ;o
- Its also been announced by Sony that a Heavy Rain demo will be released before the game drops on the 26/02/10. So even if you are a bit on the fence about this one then at least you can 'try before you buy'. As detailed in our previous post HMV is releasing an exclusive Special Ed of the game for £39.99. For those who may have missed my Facebook post last Friday regarding the new video footage then check out the video below.
- Rebellion have confirmed Alien Vs Predator will receive a demo too...however no release date has been set.
- Beta for Sony's Modnation Racers goes live on 22/01/10 for EU Residents...They have confirmed that it will be available from the store on a purely 'first come first serve' basis with a total of 100,000 invites being made available. If you're interested don't hesitate in logging onto the PSN on the 22/01/10.
- Playgamer: Issue 4 is out and contains some great features on Just Cause 2, Bioshock 2, Army of Two: 40th Day, Dark Void, Batman: Arkham Asylum 2 as well as The Force Unleashed 2. Issue 5 has an exclusive Dante's Inferno review and is due to be published on the 28/01/10, weather pending of course!!!! (NB - the picture is of issue 1, the recent issue has Just Cause 2 on it)
...And finally my PS3 Brutal Legend review will be posted up in next few days so check back soon. Till then keep gaming!JB
