If we are to believe the guys over at Joystiq.com then it looks like compatibility to PS2 games could get the axe in some upcoming PS3 models. From what looks like only two of the systems will get the PS2 backwards compatibility while all six systems gets backwards compatibility for the PS1.

As if we needed anymore proof that video games do lead to real world violence. Latest evidence comes from a Bangkok teenager who reportedly robbed and murdered a taxi driver in an effort to recreate a scene from the controversial game. So now the distributer in Thailand is asking store owners to pull the games from their shelves and replace them with other games. Might I suggest the upcoming Gears of War 2 game…. at least no killing of people… than again NOT!!

Of course you like your PSP-2000. It beats the DS in graphics and all around sexiness, but it is still lacking some real firepower when it comes to game titles. But in any case you might just be in luck cause the new PSP-3000 has just gotten official from Sony and is heading your way this October. That’s right people, nothing new except for a much better display, integrated mic and a redesigned “Home” button. Maybe not what you were expecting, but at least you got a better screen to play GTA: Liberty Cities on right?

That is correct. This is no rumor guys, we’re hearing it from the horse’s mouth. Today Sony officially announced that it will have a PS3 bundle including Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, PlayStation Network voucher for PAIN, DualShock 3 wireless controller along with a 160GB PS3. All this can be yours this November for the asking of only $499.99. Seems like competition to the $449 Xbox Elite?

After almost a decade after the first’s debut of Starcraft, the Blizzard Entertainment has released some sneak-preview of the second version of its popular science fiction strategy game.

The new Starcraft II is designed to satisfy the growing demands of hardcore gamers with its impressive cinematic design and feature. Developed by Studio’s top creative talent, this strategy game revolutionizes the concept of PC gaming.

The Ant Commandos Double Range Guitar can play PS2 and PS3 of both Guitar Hero I,II,III and Rock Band..it is the first gaming guitar that can support multiple platforms, which is good news for some of us students still living in cramped bed sits. With all the functionality retained such as, a second set of Rock Band solo buttons near the strum bar and distortion effects, you can’t really go wrong with this…Oh and it doesn’t come with a hefty price tag either at $59.99 USD.

Holy crap, This is seriously one of the most amazing retro recreations I have ever seen and seeing Kyle Downes and his sister? playing Super Mario Bros 3 with a giant controller on a projection screen is just too cool.

Grand Theft Auto IV, the latest iteration of the hit video game franchise has racked up an incredible $500 million in its first week of release. Not only does that blow Halo’s figures out of the water by a full $100 million, it puts them on an even footing with such films as The Godfather.
