A post on the European Playstation Community forum announced that PSN will have downtime today (14 October 2008) until the early hours of tomorrow morning. All Playstation 3 owners, please be advised that the network will be down between the hours of 21:00 on the 14th until 02:00 on the 15th. Due to the post being translated using a browser translator, I am not entirely sure what they mean by this but it looks as though you will be able to stay connected to PSN but will not be able to connect to it if you were not already signed in. The translation states that: "During this maintenance you can not connect to PLAYSTATION network. If you are connected before you should be able to play online without problem." So if the translation is correct, it means that as long as you are already connected, then you shouldn't have any issues playing for the rest of the night. You had better just pray that Telkom doesn't let you down.

So I get an email today saying that Nick has some business meeting he needs to go to and he would like me to do the afternoon shift today… It all sounded legit until I got a surprise email from gamerlobby. Apparently Gamerlobby has joined forces with The Lair once again to bring us another Epic tournament, this time with …

The more I see of this game the more it reminds me of Bioshock, in all the good ways. This title has epic written all over it… I am a little wary as to how well the slow mo aiming is going to work but apart from that the ambiance seems perfect and I really cannot wait to play this …

You must have heard about the mythical PS3 game that is going to blow us all out of the water by now? That BBC guy is apparently still under NDA but according to him this entire generation is going to change when we see it. He thought it was going to be announced at E3, then Leipzig and then TGS.. …

No surprise here but you can virtually hear the gaming world letting out a sigh of relief when the first reviews started coming in and they showed that the game does not in fact suck… The idea of a hugely hyped game falling well short of expectations is nothing new and there were some very soft, but existent, rumours of …

This was going to be posted on Friday but I decided to hold it over today for a very good reason… It looks awesome and I didn’t want it to slip away in the Friday afternoon pub dash. People are talking about Quantum Theory in the same breath as Gears of War but honestly I don’t see them being the …
