Uncharted1.jpg With the great success of Drake's Fortune, it is honestly a no-brainer that a sequel would be made. Play3-Live.com reports that the in the latest issue of PSM3 Magazine, Naughty Dog's Christophe Ballestra has confirmed that Uncharted 2 is currently in development. The news comes from a site that had to be translated to english using googles translation tools, so the details are a little difficult to figure out. Check this out: "It also will train with Heavy Rain, DC Universe Online and Killzone 2, a new wave of major titles of the PS3. Just like Resistance 2, it could reveal early next year." From the looks of things, it looks as if the game will be officially announced early next year so we can all look forward to some more good news soon. So, who thinks that it will still be exclusively made for the Playstation 3?

Skate 2 – Tony Hawk is shaking in his boots… err, sneakers.

This latest video of Skate 2 has just confirmed to me that I need this game with such immediacy that I may just book a plane ticket to the developers country so that I can steal some early code out of their office. Do they have HDTV's in jail? They do, right? Seriously now, the features for this game are looking absolutely incredible. Not only will your character now be able to get off of his board and walk, they have added the ability to move objects around, run out of failed attempts (as opposed to just falling flat on your face), hippie jumps, kicking your board away, running and jumping back onto your board, handplants, acid drops... heck, this game nearly has everything. I was very impressed with the first Skate due to the fact that it refreshed the entire genre and did things so differently. This video makes me realise how many great features it was actually still missing, so I cannot wait to waste hours and hours of my life away again, skating the streets and nailing some smooth lines. Skate 2 and Prison, here I come.

These are the Days of Our Consoles

You may remember that we previously reported on Jane Wells from CNBC posting up an article about how her "videogame expert" son was trading in his Xbox 360 to buy a PS3 after being impressed by the Sony E3 Presentation. Just a couple of months later it seems that her expert of a son feels like he made a mistake. It's not like we really care too much about what one woman's son is up to, but this whole thing has turned into quite a soap opera.... In an interesting turn, it seems that her son now misses all of his friends on Xbox Live and has decided to trade his PS3 back in for another Xbox 360, even though while standing in line, his friend was complaining about his own 360 giving him issues now that it's out of warranty. The trade-in value for the PS3 was not enough to make up the amount necessary for a new Xbox 360, so to get it, the son made a bit of a plan. Check this out, you won't believe what he did: How did my son come up with the difference between the trade-in price and the new Xbox? He made $300 this weekend selling his decked-out World of Warcraft character on eBay.... Although I find this point quite intriguing, I will leave it for another day and just stick to the point here. Jane Wells goes on to list a couple of lessons that have been learned from this entire experience: 1- the gaming experience is more than a few games and cool graphics.... The moral of this story is actually pretty easy to figure out: Do whatever works for you. This kid realised that the Xbox 360 was the best option for him, so he went back to it. He realised that it's not necessarily about what the console offers in terms of technology, it depends on what brings you the most joy to your own life. If all of your friends own PS3's and play online every night you would be a bit of a fool to buy an Xbox 360 and play by yourself when you could be jamming some online games with your buddies. Let's hope that this is the last that we hear from Jane Wells and her son's amazing console saga. Now if you will excuse me, I need to go and create a World of Warcraft character, I'm going to be rich.

Confirmed: No COD5 Beta for Playstation 3

Sorry Playstation people. If you were hoping to get some time with the COD5 beta then you will not be happy to hear that it has now been confirmed that the beta will only be available for the PC and Xbox 360 platforms. Treyarchs excuse? PSU.com reports the following about Treyarch's statement: "We are running the beta only on the Xbox 360 and PC," said the representative. He continued then to point out that most betas on the PS3 are run by first party anyways, and if Treyarch runs their testing on the Xbox 360 and PC they acquire more data on servers and connectivity." Excuse me, but that sounds like a load of trash to me. Are there issues with the PS3 versions development? Nothing is for certain and we don't actually know if there are any actual issues with the PS3 version at the moment but with an excuse like that my mind really has to start wondering. I don't think that we are getting the full story here. I think that someone has screwed up somewhere and now the PS3 owners are going to have to miss out because of it.

Red Alert's Girls and Grandpa's: Shame on you EA

By Nick De Bruyne

Meet the cast of the upcoming Red Alert 3 title from EA games. As most of you will know, Red Alert is apart of the almighty Command & Conquer series of real time strategy games initially created by Westwood back in the 90's. It seems to be the latest trend to just straight-out abuse the use of hot women to get your sales up, so try and close your eyes when they come up on screen, we need to fight the system. Since I know that you aren't actually going to do then I would like to point out that EA has done it for you. That's right, they are actually holding footage of the girls back to push sales. Find out more after the jump. They tease us with some quick shots of all the woman that they have handpicked (you should recognise most of them) to target all the pale, lonely people only to let us know that we need to buy the "premium edition" to see more. That's a pretty cheap trick if you ask me, heck they make it as if the special edition is going to come with some form of pornography bundled in. While the men aren't nearly as appealing to most of us as the women, I am happy to see that they have signed up some really awesome talent to play out the roles in the video cutscenes that all C&C fans have grown to love so much. So good on you EA, and shame on you at the same time...

So I posted earlier about the latest Eurogamer face off and you may have wondered then how I managed to restrain from talking about my pet hate… those idiotic installs. Well it’s because I wanted to add them all up and see how much of our 40Gb hard drive space would be taken just by playing the games in the …

Little Big Planet Beta ‘Xbox 360’ HD LittleBigPlanet is not the first game that allows us to create home made movies but it is possibly the most versatile. PSN user RedBullRacer has put together this pretty awesome video trashing the Xbox 360 inside LittleBigPlanet, now I guess it’s time for someone on the 360 side to try and retalliate… maybe …
