Uncharted 2 Gameplay Video

I will be making an Uncharted 2 BETA gameplay video for all of you people who did not get to play the BETA or have not even seen how great this incredible is going to be.

Should be uploading it within the week. Possibly tomorrow. Stay tuned.

PSN Game: Droplitz

The idea for this game came from a staff member at Blitz Game Studios whose name is James Parker. It is an addictive and mind working game. This puzzle game is a must have for anyone who likes strategy games and is a must try for everyone.

I am definitely going to buy this game once I put money into my account. There is no demo out yet but hopeully there will be in the future.

Now for you hardcore gamers out there, Droplitz is not a new Call of Duty for you guys. Do not critize a game because it isn't a shooter game. Don't get me wrong, I love first person shooters (FPS) but I also like other mini-games to keep me busy when those FPS games are not what I'm in the mood for.

Playstation Home Hits 7 million Users!

Wow! I am completely amazed. I have to admit, when Home first came out there was nothing to do and it was a total disgrace. After about April I found myself constantly on Home with friends and hanging out and having tons of fun.

Home has hit 7 million users and SONY has pointed out some figures for us:

• In five months, Red Bull's free Air Racegame has been played by 873,136 unique users, clocking up over 2.5 million visits and 575,000 hours of gameplay. Average session duration is 39 minutes.

• The game cost around 110,000 euros to develop, but has had an estimated marketing value of 1.5 million euros, according to a third-party media consultancy.

• The three-month campaign around the Watchmen film clocked up 812,544 unique views - compromising 9.3 million viewed minutes - of an exclusive video with director Zack Snyder.

• Over 3.2 million visits were made to the Watchmen area in Home. The two free avatar items - Rorschach and Nite Owl costumes - were downloaded 1.65 million times.

• The two-week Star Trek campaign resulted in the sale of 450,000 costumes, 250,000 views of the video, while in two weeks, 125,000 people played Transformers puzzle games to gain a free virtual t-shirt and, if they completed all of them, a virtual trophy for their living area.

Home is optional for all users but if you don't use it, it is your loss because it is a great place to hang out and meet up with friends for a match.

BlazBlue for PS3 is Going to Support Remote Play

If you are getting the game called BlazBlue when it comes out and you also have a PSP, you know what that equals? Pure freaking ownage. This game comes tightly packed with awesome features, one of them being remote play of course.

If you are asking yourself, why in the hell do I need remote play? Well here is my answer. Let's say you are at an airport in freakin' China and your PS3 is way the hell back in New York, using wireless internet, you can turn on your PS3 and play this awesome game with your PSP as your remote. Then when you finish, quit remote play and turn off your PS3 using your PSP. That is the most awesome thing to ever come out.

The game hits the shelves next week and if you do not buy it your a bum. = )

SOCOM Patch 1.50 comes with FREE DLC

Here is the full word from the SOCOM team:

The 1.50 Update for SOCOM: Confrontation is feature complete and currently in test. Due to the number and scope of the feature set of 1.50 the testing cycle has taken longer than anticipated. We remain committed to releasing this patch as soon as the remaining open issues are resolved. It is extremely important to us to make sure the 1.50 update is as problem free as possible when it is released and we are working towards that goal rather than pushing it out as is on a specific date.

A number of features in 1.50 are of such a scale that it will not be possible for us to fully predict how they will behave before public deployment. An example of this is the tournaments, each of which can accommodate 1000s of players. To account for this, we will ramp the size and number of tournaments during the first weeks after release to monitor and address any issues which may arise. We have also been working on a 1.60 Update which will incorporate any fixes that are required as Tournaments and Clan Ladders become fully populated.

FREE Downloadable Content:

We are happy to announce that the 1.60 Update will also contain additional features and content. We’ve heard your requests for new content and we are happy to provide free downloadable content with the 1.60 update. The following free Downloadable Content will be available to all players:

New Special Forces: The Dutch KCT and the Italian COMSUBIN Special Forces. Each Force includes new heads and voice + a light, medium and heavy variant of their own torso and legs (each with a unique camouflage pattern).

Two new primary weapons will be immediately accessible to players who select to play as the new Special Forces; the 417 assault rifle for the Dutch KCT and the SPAS 15 shotgun for the Italian COMSUBIN Special Forces.

Four new weapons will be available to all players regardless of assigned Special Force. These are the 9mm Sub Machine Gun, M82A1A, Ak-74 and SR-25. The 1.60 will also include a number of weapon updates and adjustments to existing weapons.

In addition to the free DLC included with the 1.60 update we are also working to add 100% Random Medleys in the 1.60 update. We know this is a highly requested feature and we really want to get it out to you.

More DLC coming! - We can also confirm that we have been working on a major content release/pack. Look for an announcement later in the month.

We will release more information on Patch 1.6 after 1.5 has been released.

Uncharted Movie is in Development!

Yup, Columbia Pictures is turning this amazing PS3 game into a full movie.

Picture taken from an article from JoyStiq

Sources say they have hired Kyle Ward to write the script for this soon-to-be action movie. Kyle Ward has been hired to also script the movie Hitman 2.

The Hollywood Reporter, reports that the movie follows the story of the first game which is "a treasure hunter named Nate Drake ... believes he has learned the whereabouts of El Dorado, the fabled South American golden city, from a cursed golden statue." It also includes the other part to it. "The search becomes competitive when a rival hunter joins the fray, then is racheted up several notches when creatures -- actually mutated descendants of Spaniards and Nazis -- begin attacking those hoping to learn the treasure's true secrets."

So yes, there will be creatures in it. Hopefully after this movie they will work on a sequel because this movie has the full potiential to become an awesome movie for the year (whatever year it comes out).

The game, from Sony Computer Entertainment, sold 1 million copies in the first 10 weeks of its release at the end of 2007
