You would think that we had run out of things to say about LBP by now, but lo and behold we are still discovering new and wonderful features all the time. So what does Facebook have to do with any of this? Basically what happens is that when there are photos of your character, people will be able to tag you on the images just like on Facebook. This will allow you to then see that person's levels, favorites etc. Here is the official explanation of the new feature explained by Alex Evans, co-founder of Media Molecule: "You'll have feeds of photos of you -- levels that you've been in, photos people have taken of you. Then we take it even further, like Facebook. In any photos we know what kind of Sackboys were in it, who they were logged in as, so we put a box around their face which you can click and go and see that person. So if there's a cool level with a guy wearing an awesome costume, you just D-pad up to him and hit X, and now you can see his levels, his favorites." Anyone willing to send me a free Playstation 3, please contact me urgently. I need to play this game when it comes out, mmmkay thanks.

New Prince of Persia Release Date Confirmed

The new Prince of Persia has been gathering a lot of interest since it's announcement. While fans of the series will obviously be excited for it's release, newcomers are even finding it easy to cast an eyeball at the screenshots and news stories that we have been seeing of late. The reason for this is that the game is looking incredibly pretty now that the developers have opted for a visually intriguing cell-shaded style. The good news is that today Ubisoft confirmed that Prince of Persia will be on shelves and available for purchase on the 5th of December for the PS3, Xbox 360 and believe it or not, the Nintendo DS. Just in time for all the Christmas grannies to pick it up for their grandchildren. It's not only about the graphics though, the new title will also be featuring a new combat system and an open-world layout. Looking good Prince... looking good.

Some confusion on the internet has led to many gaming news websites announcing that the Mirror's Edge demo would become available on September 26. Unfortunately, anyone who was looking forward to some daredevil rooftop shenanigans will have to wait a little longer because EA has confirmed that the demo will in fact, not be available on said date, saying: "The demo will be out prior to launch (no official date yet) and the pre-order begins Sept 26". So while pre-orders will start on the 26th, no official date for the demo's availability has been set. Be sure that when a date is announced we will have the story.

NFS Undercover Gameplay Footage (PS3) – Different Enough?

The first time that you see gameplay of an upcoming game you can mostly see what the game is going to play like. After all of the cinematic movie trailers we have seen, we finally get to take a look at the actual gameplay for the first time. So then, what do you guys think? Have EA done enough to push the series in the right direction or does it look like they are just falling back onto whatever sold well? I am happy that they have moved away from the Pro Street idea, but I have to admit that this video absolutely reeks of Most Wanted in every way. I guess that now it will all be up to the way that they approach the campaign mode and how it will all play out.

The FREE Burnout Paradise DLC has arrived on the PSN and Xbox Live Arcade and I have a feeling this is going to be an exceptionally popular download. Most of the people I game with stopped playing Burnout a while back but the chatter about the new DLC has been getting louder and now that it is available I am …

Life with Playstation Now Available

Yesterday some people managed to get hold of Life with Playstation. I sat down and tried for over an hour to get Folding Home to update to Life with Playstation but had no luck. It was later revealed by Sony that it was a mistake and that it shouldn’t have gone up. I wondered if that meant that the official launch of Life with Playstation was just around the corner. Well a day later, it is here and it has been released simultaneously worldwide. For those of you who aren’t familiar with "Life with Playstation", it is a new lifestyle service that gives PS3 owners a new way to access news and information from around the world. The update comes in at 126mb and is slightly slow because everybody is currently downloading it simultaneously. I have sat and played around with it and I must say that it is looking brilliant. News has never fascinated me like this before. The visuals and sounds are amazing and I like that you can play music while browsing the news of the world. It is very quick and smooth and I had no issues with the long load times. Life with Playstation has really turned out well and Sony definitely deserves congratulations on this one.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed – Double Review – PS3 & Xbox 360

TFUheader.jpg Second Opinion - Xbox 360 by Nick "I have a bad feeling about this" de Bruyne There are two things I need to state before I give you my final impression of this title.... Secondly, I was fully aware of the negative hype and low review scores that this game was receiving before sitting down to play it for myself.... As a Star Wars fan I was already skeptical about this title, "just another licensed letdown" I thought as I had already tried the demo and wasn't overly impressed.... About three hours hours into the game I had to take a moment and ask myself what in the hell all the critics were on about, because this is one hell of a game.... You will also go back to planets that you have already visited and although they are not the same levels as before, they make use of the same backdrops and themes. This is a bit of a shame because the rest of the package has a wonderful amount of polish and even though their were bugs, they aren't nearly as game-breaking as many critics would have you believe.... My initial concerns of repetitive gameplay washed away as the level-up system had me progressing and powering up my Apprentice throughout the game, always adding better and more powerful ways of disposing of anything that happened to get in my way.... The addition of various unlockable combos can be a little intimidating at first, but once you have them dialed and have a good grasp of your force powers you will find yourself creating new and wonderful ways to teach Stormtroopers that they were created for no other reason than to feel the full extent of your wrath. All in all The Force Unleashed had me donning a massive grin for most of the campaign as I mowed through copious amounts of lesser-beings with my awe-inspiring powers.... Don't think that it's a walk in the park though, I played through on the second difficulty setting (of four) and found it to be a good challenge throughout. A nice surprise at the end of the game was the ability to play through the game again with your uber-apprentice, complete with all of his powers, unlocked costumes and lightsaber upgrades. The real shocker for me at the end of the day is that I went into this review as a skeptic, I mean, all of the hype said that the game was a big disappointment. Tell me then, why is it that I had already started playing through the campaign a second time before I could tear myself away to write this review? Final Score: 8.5/10 [ A great story combined with action-packed gameplay make up a game that I can easily recommend to anyone who is looking for a fun and interesting single player experience. If you are a big Star Wars fan then it's a no-brainer and if you aren't you should still take a look.

COD: World at War Co-op Trailer

When it comes to next-gen gaming, single player campaigns don't seem to cut it anymore. While I still enjoy playing certain titles by myself, there is nothing quite like hooking up with a couple of friends and saving the world together. This new co-operative trailer, although cinematic at heart, is doing all that it can to get us excited about the new co-operative mode in COD 5 and you know what, It's working. The awards system also looks really cool and the pop-up graphics that go with them look awesome as well. This game looks like it will be offering co-op at it's best. Heck, myself and a couple of friend have finished some 4 player games' campaign multiple times even though we didn't really like the game. So from the looks of things, this is going to be a blast.
