I’ve been playing a whole lot of Demon’s Souls since it launched last week and I agree with all of the reviewers out there. This game is unforgivingly hard as hell. That being said, the  game is so unique in gameplay and it’s online connectivity, you would be short changing your self if you own a PS3 and/or your a western role playing gamer.

Over on Fourzerotwo’s blog he goes a bit more into the details of the upgraded graphical techniques that are implicated into the new MW2 game. From what I’ve seen here, it looks like companies are really getting smarter on getting more graphical performance out of these current generation consoles.

playfire contest Now granted I really don’t like to enlist in promotions for free games or like to sign up for shit in order to get “a chance” to win a game. This promotion is safe secure and does not spam you with crap you don’t want.

Xbox, PS3 and Wi to try and catch up to App Store distribution

In PSN, app store, apple, dlc, downloads, wiiware, xbl on June 12, 2009 by Social Gamer

Spanner Spencer over at the Pocketgamer.com website has a article concerning the need for dominance over all DLC content on each of the home consoles. I feel like this is the trend for the future and Apple was smart enough (or lucky) to give it a shot first.

Now before I continue we have to step back and admit the the home consoles are not really aiming for the same user base as the iPhone is.
That being considered, the console makers know a good thing when they see one. Why wouldn’t you want to have 24/7 access to your gaming needs? Personally, I love downloadable games. I don’t mean it in the sense that we should get rid of hard retail copies but the need for DLC is growing daily.

Gamers already are downloading millions of amount content and/or full games, so the trend only seems to be speeding up exponentially.

I really give it untill the next generation of hardware before DLC moves to the front of the spectrum.

OK….now go check out the article that Spencer wrote on the PocketGamer website here.

“As gamers are further encouraged away from the shops, we’re brought ever closer to the realisation that it’s the application stores and digital distribution services that are becoming the ‘platforms’ of tomorrow, with the hardware simply providing a means of access to your preferred choice of content.”

Crysis 2 to "MAX OUT" the PS3.

In Crysis, Crytek, E3, PSN, XB360, XBOX, hardware, pc, ps3, xbl on June 3, 2009 by Social Gamer

Gamasutra expresses that Crytek is known for its technical excellence, and we also quizzed Yerli on his impressions of the differences between the two HD platforms. “I mean essentially the game we run is about the sam,” he said. “Probably one’s stronger on the GPU side, one’s stronger on the CPU side, so depending on what you’re doing where, the PS3 does perform here sometimes better, the 360 performs other things better, but overall by the time the game ships it’ll be absolutely the same.”

I had to put this up since it’s something that I have stating for years now.

CellFactor: Psychokinetic Wars (cam)

In EU, PSN, Playstation 3, dlc, download on May 29, 2009 by Social Gamer

Today I was looking around on the EU PSN Store and saw a game I didn’t see on the US Store.
The game is pretty good to at around 225MB the game is actually quite gorgeous. It is an UNREAL Engine game and sounds and plays a lot like UT3.
That is not a bad thing just to point out. Looks like a high quality last gen FPS but the game runs great and the frame rate is solid as well didn’t see any dips on visuals.

Sorry the video is not crystle clear but here it is:
