Sony has officially named their upcoming PlayStation 3 motion controller and gives more details on its upcoming release.
During their press conference at the Game Developer's Conference today, Sony officially names their motion controller. The name you have all been waiting to hear is not the Arc or the Gem but the PlayStation Move. It features the same glowing orb on top that was shown off during it's unveil at last year's E3 and it does in fact change colors. It will come in 3 packages, a stand-alone controller for people that already own the PlayStation Eye, a starter kit that includes the controller, PlayStation Eye, and a game. The last option will be the ultimate package that will come with a PS3, DualShock 3, PlayStation Move controller, and an eye.
Several games were also announced that will take advantage of the new motion controller. Sports Champions is mini-game package that is a lot like Wii Sports. A few of the games it will feature is archery, a gladiator duel game, and table tennis. Move Party will include all kinds of mini-games that will include you in the gameplay and change the look of the controller to match the game. The Shoot is an on-rails shooter that will take you through many different movie sets. Sony also announced that Little Big Planet and the recently announced SOCOM 4 will also take advantage of the new controller among others.
PlayStation Move will be released later this year and Sony has announced that the starter kit will be under $100. Check out the PlayStation Move trailer after the break.Read more...

Sony has announced that SOCOM 4 is currently under development and GTTV releases the debut trailer.
Sony has announced that SOCOM 4 is being developed by Zipper Interactive, the people behind the popular PS3 exclusive MAG. SOCOM 4 will take place in South East Asia where you will battle against a revolutionary army looking to screw up the global economy. It will feature 32 player multiplayer action that will focus on teamwork like previous installments in the series. GTTV released the debut trailer for the game earlier tonight. It doesn't show any actual gameplay footage unfortunately but does set the table for the game's storyline.

Take-Two announced they will be delaying the release of Red Dead Redemption during a first quarter fiscal 2010 earnings report today.
Red Dead Redemption was originally going to be released on April 27th but fans eagerly waiting for its release got some bad news today. During an earnings report, Take-Two's chairman Strauss Zelnick announced they will be pushing back the game's release to May 18th. He stated that it was to extend the time they would need for marketing the game before its release. Like a lot of you I was sad to hear we would have to wait longer to play it but at least it was only pushed out a few weeks and not months like other recent games like Max Payne 3.
Red Dead Redemption will be released on May 18th for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Gearbox Software has announced that Borderlands will be releasing a retail package that will include the first two DLC packages by themselves.
Borderlands was a huge surprise hit for Gearbox Software and they have followed that release up with some really cool DLC.

It will not include the newest DLC, The Secret Armory of General Knoxx however. GameStop has the Xbox 360 and PC versions being shipped on April 1st. No announcement on whether we can expect to see a PlayStation 3 release or not. The retail package will run you $19.99 which is what it would cost you to buy them off of Xbox LIVE right now.
Borderlands' first three DLC packages are available now on Xbox LIVE and PSN.

Submitted By: Mike McMullan on February 27, 2010 - 12:17pm
Sony has released a ton of new God of War 3 gameplay footage in the recent episode of GameTrailers TV.
God of War 3's release is right around the corner and anybody that isn't chomping at the bit to get their hands on this game should watch the video below. Tons of new GOW3 gameplay footage was shown on the recent episode of GTTV and it looks absolutely amazing. Any fan of the God of War series has got to be insane at this point waiting for its final release and anybody that isn't a fan of the series has got to be asking themselves why at this point. In the new footage we get to see more of the gigantic bosses and all the smaller minions we will face and destroy. Sony looks to prove all the naysayers wrong that thought the trailers released before were not real by showing all actual in-game footage. It looks amazing and I can't wait to play through it.

Avalanche Studios and Square Enix have released a new Just Cause 2 trailer and also announced when we can get our hands on the demo.
Just Cause 2 just looks like fun and this new trailer is a good example why. They are doing a really good job at marketing this game as just a huge island for you to do whatever you want.

Submitted By: Mike McMullan on February 25, 2010 - 11:56pm
Rockstar Games has released yet another trailer for their upcoming Red Dead Redemption, this time highlighting the women characters in the game.
Red Dead Redemption recently received a new trailer that focused on the game's lawmen. Rockstar Games has quickly followed that up with a brand new trailer that focuses on the women. These don't look to be the normal demure Wild West women you would expect to see but tough as nails women that will bring the fight to bad guys. You can see one that looks to be part of a revolution and one that is taking down a stage coach. The trailer doesn't give out any names but they look to play a major part in the storyline.

New Red Dead Redemption Trailer Released
Submitted By: Mike McMullan on February 21, 2010 - 1:40am
Rockstar Games is finally starting to show us more footage from Red Dead Redemption as it moves closer to April release.
Red Dead Redemption is a sequel of sorts to Red Dead Revolver that was released way on the first Xbox in 2004. Red Dead Redemption is an open work sandbox game á la Grand Theft Auto style but set in the Wild West. It was announced a year ago but we haven't seen much since then. The new trailer is entitled "The Law" and is centered on the different lawmen you will encounter in the game. I'm pretty excited about this game. Who doesn't want a new GTA game that is set in the Old West?
Rumors have been floating around that the release date might be pushed back but as of now Red Dead Redemption is going to be released on April 27th for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Click the break to see the new trailer.Read more...

New Just Cause 2 Gravity Trailer Released
Submitted By: Mike McMullan on February 17, 2010 - 11:15pm
Avalanche Studios has released a new Just Cause 2 trailer entitled "Gravity" that gives us even more ideas on all of the inventive ways we torment the enemies in their game.
Just Cause 2 is hitting the home stretch and is only a little more than a month out from release. From the very beginning of development, Avalanche Studios has really pushed the idea of total freedom to do whatever you like on their huge island. This idea is perfectly demonstrated in the new Just Cause 2 trailer. We get to see all kinds of cool inventive ways to dispose of enemies and it seems like the only limit is your imagination. My personal favorite is strapping the gas can to the back of an enemy and then shooting the gas tank. When the gas tank takes off into the sky it drags the enemy with him. I can see myself doing this for hours and not even starting the actual storyline of the game.
Just Cause 2 is going to be released on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and the PC on March 23rd. Check out the new trailer after the jump.Read more...

Sony is starting the God of War 3 hype machine back up for the final push towards its March release and from it we get a brand new trailer to drool over.
God of War 3 is little over a month away and we can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Sony better have the assembly lines running at full speed to match how many consoles this game is going to push.

Assassin's Creed 3 Location Revealed
Submitted By: Mike McMullan on February 10, 2010 - 11:24pm
Ubisoft has revealed new details to the recently announced Assassin's Creed 3 and it will continue the story from the previous game.
Assassin's Creed 2's sales have reached 8 million worldwide and Ubisoft is wasting no time on the game's follow-up. Assassin's Creed 3 was announced last month by Ubisoft in a press release and they revealed that it would out during the 2010-2011 fiscal year. During a third quarter financial call, Ubisoft has revealed more details about the game. We already knew that it would include a multiplayer mode and that it would again star ACII's Ezio. Ubisoft's CEO Yves Guilletmot announced today that the new game will take place in Rome. He stated that this time Ezio will "strike directly at the heart of the Templars order in Rome". He also mentioned the game's multiplayer mode that "players will also be able to challenge their friends in a very innovative assassination multiplayer." We will have to wait to see exactly what that will mean when more details are released.
We expect Assassin's Creed 3 to be here hopefully this holiday season but no official date has been given yet. I'm sure we can probably expect it to be announced for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and the PC like previous games.
Ghost Recon: Future Soldier Announced With Debut Trailer
Submitted By: Mike McMullan on February 9, 2010 - 10:57pm
Ubisoft announced Ghost Recon: Future Soldier today. It will be the 4th installment in the best-selling Ghost Recon franchise.
Ghost Recon is looking to come back in a big way and take some of the spotlight away from Modern Warfare 2. Ghost Recon was the leader in future warfare before Call of Duty decided to leave WWII behind. From the look of the debut teaser trailer, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier looks to bring us even cooler toys to play with this time around. These are the same toys that soldiers will be using in the not too distant future including a personal cloaking device. Tom Clancy has always had his finger on the pulse on what weapons we can expect to see in upcoming battlefields and they always make their way into his games. Not much is known about the new game other than it will obviously feature both single player and multiplayer campaigns. An exclusive multiplayer beta invitation will be included in the upcoming Splinter Cell Conviction game in April.
Ghost Recon: Future Soldier will be released on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, DS, and the PC this Fall 2010. Check out the debut teaser trailer after the break.Read more...

LucasArts and Traveller's Tales announced the development of LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars today.
The original LEGO Star Wars was released way back in 2005 and was a huge hit that spawned a sequel and several other games based on other movie franchises.

The 3rd game (4th overall) in the series will based on the animated series, The Clone Wars, and will include characters from both seasons. We can expect to play some new battle modes and an upgraded level builder in the new game. We will have the option to play as a Jedi or a Separatist with a bunch of new abilities.
LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars will be released on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, DS, PC, and the PSP this Fall 2010.
