Ok really, you may have gotten excited for some rain in T&T as we’re experiencing a drought, but something better than rain comes in the form of PS3 Exclusive “Heavy Rain”.
Heavy Rain is a breakthrough title bringing forth a new genre of games and a new way to interact with video games as an entertainment medium.
Where every decision in the game changes the story, where if you die the story continues and morph’s around your death, where emotion of the characters and decisions affect you emotionally, where hollywood cinema meets gaming…. We can go on and on praising this game in so many regards.
Clearly the reviews speak for themselves with Heavy Rain claiming many high review scores and many perfect.

Also take a look at the UK region Television Ad for Heavy Rain that summarises the game o so well:
Sony and PlayStation continues to push boundaries for Gaming and finally after 3 years and a rocky first year start, PS3 is getting the recognition it so deserves.
With exclusives like Killzone 2, inFAMOUS, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time, MAG, HEAVY RAIN, God of War Collection & God of War 3 to name a few and also multiplatform titles Bioshock 2, Dante’s Inferno, Modern Warfare 2, Dragon Age: Origins, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, FINAL FANTASY XIII and Tekken 6, again naming a few, it is crystal clear which is the superior console and platform for gaming.
PS3 has gone on to win mega-tech-blog Engadget’s Console of the Year and User Voted Home Entertainment Device of the year.
PS3 in the ratings has also received the most high quality games of 2009 amongst any platform.
If in the market for a Console, there should be no thought process but PlayStation.
2010 will push PS3 beyond imagination with Sony’s introduction of the Motion Controller and the introduction of 3D gaming to the masses in an upcoming Firmware Update.
Additionally 2010 may also see the introduction of premium services to the PlayStation Network such as “Cloud Storage” of game saves (where your save files are sycned with Sony’s servers and if the console fails, can be recovered by downloading) amongst dozens of other features.
Playstation Network has also brought forward a free weekly TV show for its members in the form of The TESTER, which premiered on the Playstation Network last week.
With Heavy Rain to wet our appetite before March’s FINAL FANTASY XIII, and GOD OF WAR 3,
we ask this question:
HOW MUCH MONEY WILL YOU SPEND FOR THE GAMING THAT YOU LOVE?
Heavy Rain is in stores today in the US and select local stores. Expect Heavy Rain to be in most stores by next week.
“Hustle Kings is undoubtedly the most realistic and entertaining billiards game available anywhere…period” says Aaron Orsak, US Producer of Hustle Kings.
I’m pretty sure most of you have played a pool game at some point in your life, most likely on the PC and I pretty sure you enjoyed it. You may even have been lucky to play the real thing in a bar somewhere. But Hustle Kings is Pool meets PS3, as a full game, boasting the best simulation and graphics for a pool game ever. If you want the perfect Pool Game for your PS3, get Hustle Kings. Just as Gran Turismo is to car racing, Hustle Kings is to Pool/Billiards etc.
I’m certainly getting this title when it releases this Thursday, January 28th for US$9.99 on the PSN.
Here is the Hustle Kings Trailer:
See [PlayStation.Blog] for more information on the game.
MAG, the 256 player game, that pits 128 vs 128 players in multiplayer comes to PS3 exclusively on Tuesday 26th January 2010.
PlayStation Network has been churning out amazing after amazing downloadable games for everyone to enjoy ever since the network launched in ’06. These games don’t just make themselves…there are hard working indie developers that through creative minds and passion for innovative gaming sculpt these games into the gems you see on PSN today.
One of these indie developers and my personal favourite are the PixelJunk team from Japan, Q-Games. These guys have made three of the most popular games ever to hit the PlayStation Store, and the names of these games are easily recognised…PIXELJUNK!
From fast paced Racers, to tower defense Monsters and to the soothing Eden, Q-Games has created some of the best downloaded games I have ever played, and based on feedback from personal friends and comments on the internet, these games are favourites among many.
Just recently PixelJunk Monsters was reborn as a new title for the PSP system, but as for a totally new inventive game, nothing new since PixelJunk Eden in 2008. This month though, Q-Games is bringing forth another immersive title that aims to capture those idle funds from your PSN Wallet.
PixelJunk Shooter, announced earlier this year is almost out the door and the hype is increasing as the developer has taken alot of time to make this game as best as they could. In PixelJunk Shooter, the player pilots a subterranean vehicle that navigates through diverse cave-like complexes that are dynamic and o so visual. The goal of the game is getting through these detailed environments (water,magma,earth etc.) by manipulating the environment. There are also survivors in these environments that are to be rescued.
Enough talking for now and lets let the video speak for itself:
Reviews have already begun surfacing and they for the most part hold high praise for this new title.
The developer also has high hopes for this game and they have hosted a facebook group for some time now with the intention of becoming the first Million game seller on PSN. Its a very very steep figure to aim for as the digital download era is still fairly new, but we can all contribute to give Q-Games and the PixelJunk series the success it deserves.
PSNTT look forward to PixelJunk Shooter to be hitting the PlayStation Store (PS3) on Thursday, December 10, 2009.
A couple hotly anticipated titles have come out today. The biggest names being Ezio, Kratos and Sackboy.

You can quote me on this one….Uncharted 2 is the best single player experience I have ever played.IGN Entertainment (IGN.com):
It’s very, very good. It’s easily one of the best games on the system, blending fantastic presentation and visuals with gameplay that is practically second to none. And then there’s the stellar multiplayer which you’ll probably be playing until Uncharted 3 ships.Games Radar (www.gamesradar.com):
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. It looks amazing, plays like a dream and the voice-acting/story-telling will hook you in right from the off. PS3 officially has it’s a killer-app and a million tears are shed by 360 fanboys.PlayStation: The Official Magazine:
Forget game of the year, this is one of the best games of all time.Destructoid.com:
If you own a PlayStation 3, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves belongs in your collection, no questions asked. If you don’t, know this — there’s no other game in its genre that even comes close to it on any other platform.Brian Crecente (Kotaku.com) :
Naughty Dog’s second adventure with Nathan Drake appears to be the best experience hitting a console this fall.Read More at Metacritic.com
So make sure all of you join the Trini sweat because as IGN put it, we’ll be playing the multiplayer til Uncharted 3 ships. ^_^
