Joystiq has received an email from a Norwegian gamestop employee which apparently proves that we are going to be seeing at least 5 250Gb PS3 bundles incoming in the next few weeks. According to the screenshot we will see a Ratchet & Clank, FIFA 2010, Assassin’s Creed 2, Need for Speed Shift and Uncharted 2 bundles arrive before Christmas. Previously …
No, the headline isn’t a mistake. Sony’s PS3, unlike the Xbox 360, doesn’t have a built-in hardware scaler.

Honestly who here thinks that the Halo ODST embargo being lifted a day after the Uncharted 2 embargo is a coincidence and not a very good attempt by Microsoft to undermine the PS3’s killer title? From what I can see the Uncharted 2 embargo was lifted on Saturday while Halo’s …
The first Uncharted 2 review has been leaked and to say that the French magazine PSM3 rates it highly would be an understatement. That 21 up there isn’t 21/100 it is actually 21/20, giving Uncharted 2 an incredible 105% review score. They concluded their review by saying “Long, visually stunning, deep and explosive, Uncharted 2 combines all the qualities you …
We’re edging ever closer to the fourth-quarter videogame deluge that happens every year and while a large number of essential games have been moved to next year – ostensibly so as to not compete with Modern Warfare 2 – there are still many, many games, across multiple platforms that will be competing for both my money, and my time.

It’s time for them to grit their teeth as yet another Sony-owned studio proudly proclaims that their game is “Only possible on PS3â€. The following is from an Ars Technica interview with Naughty Dog. "I guarantee that this game couldn’t …
Uncharted 2 is going to be awesome, it’s just the level of awesome that is now up for debate and by the look of this latest trailer it seems like the writers over at Naughty Dog have decided to add some good old sexual tension into the story. The video itself isn’t really very revealing but it helps to build …
With Gamescom in full swing, it should come as no surprise that the most heavily anticipated games would deliver tantalising new trailers and screenshots. Of course there’s a new Uncharted trailer and here it is. In it you’ll find a dramatic voice-over, slow-motion explosions and scuffles, punctuated by a string lead orchestral score. In my pants, you’ll find the resultant …
Have you ever double-checked your doors at night because something just didn’t feel secure? …
