Yes its finally here, “KillZone 2″. The release of the anticipated best in game at the E3′s this past year will be released Friday February 27th 2009. KillZone 2 is the exclusive title for the Sony Playstation 3, that expected to help give an edge on the console over its competitor.

Two years after the Helghast assault on Vekta, the ISA is bringing the fight to the enemy’s home world of Helghan. Taking the role of Sev, the battle-hardened veteran of the special forces unit known as the Legion, players will embark upon a mission to the planet Helghan to capture the Helghast leader, Emperor Visari, and bring the enemy’s war machine to a halt. For Sev and his squad, the invasion of Helghan is just the beginning. Tasked with securing Pyrrhus, the Capital City, the team quickly discovers that the Helghast are a formidable enemy on their home planet. Not only have they adjusted to the planet’s hostile conditions, they have also harnessed a source of power from the environment that can be used against the ISA. Sev and his team soon discover the fight is greater than simply addressing the enemy forces; the Legion must also learn how to handle the effects of the fierce enemy planet.

Can’t say we didn’t see this coming but there are reports now that the Playstation Home has already been hacked. Exploiting various weaknesses in the code, hackers have been able to get into the Playstation Home servers and upload or delete whatever files they want. Through hacking, Playstation Home users have been able to modify their environment more so than what Sony allows. People can watch their own movies and listen to their own music in Playstation Home (THOSE MONSTERS!). Experts have also stated that the hacks will allow the few unscrupulous people on the internet to steal passwords and account information from Playstation Home users.

No you don’t get the whole game from the unlock, but the Mirror’s Edge demo had its time trial unlocked earlier this week. The developers of the game were a little disappointed with the sales and hopes that by unlocking the time trial mode, will hook in some additional customers. Mirror’s Edge met with lukewarm reviews from critics who often cited its innovative concept as a strong plus but its limited replayability and faulty game mechanics as a strong minus. The time trial mode for Mirror’s Edge will have the player participating in a race by trying to beat certain timing records. The time trial mode for the Mirror’s Edge demo can be unlocked by simply choosing time trial in the menu and entering any 16 digit unlock code.

G4′s Attack of the Show is trying to get a mob going in the Playstation Home tonight. The gathering will culminate in a dance party where everyone is expected to do the robot. There had already been a Playstation Home dance party during the opening day but this one should be a lot bigger now that most people have had a chance to familiarize themselves with the controls of Playstation home. Female avatars should be careful at this gathering as we have gotten many reports of hungry hungry males jumping any female avatar they see in Playstation Home. The Gathering will start at 7pm EST and takes place in the mall area of Playstation Home. Get ready to dance the robot!

The sales figures keep rolling in and they are looking more and more unfavorable for the PS3. Analysts often cite three problems preventing the PS3 from achieving successful sales figures; its price, users’ apathetic attitudes towards the blu-ray, and the lack of a good video game library. While I personally disagree with the last 2, I can definitely agree with the first point made. The PS3 sits at $400 dollars which is significantly more expensive than the Xbox 360 or the Nintendo Wii which can often be found at half that price. Xbox and Wii are both overtaking the PS3 by margins that get bigger with every month. Sony cannot afford to lose so many potential users by having its price so high and will definitely need to adjust to fit the market if they want to stay afloat.

OK let’s be honest, with a few notable exceptions, hardcore gaming is still a pretty male dominated field of entertainment. This is why whenever there is a female avatar in any multiplayer game, all the guys bum rush the character in a way that they normally wouldn’t have the guts to do in real life. Check out this hilarious video of a prank these guys pulled on a hapless user. Normally there are a million of these pranks but this one was done in a pretty comical manner. Its probably some kid he tricked but hey pranking kids is one of the greatest joys in life!

So its finally here. After 2 years of talk and speculation, the public tried out the Playstation Home beta yesterday for the first time. So I tried it out as the reports started rolling out that people were downloading the new app. From 10 am till 6 pm Pacific time, I would get time out errors that the server was too busy. Frustrating but also understandable. So as I finally get in the PS home program at 6p I start character  design. Read the rest of this entry…

Motorstorm Pacific Rift has been released for about a month now and in that time it has managed to sell over 1 million units. Considering that it is an exclusive on the PS3 which has a smaller customer base, and was released in in a time where all the most highly anticipated titles are released, this is quite an accomplishment. The original Motorstorm was one of the launch titles of the PS3 and is still one of its best games. Pacific Rift is the first sequel to the hit racing game. According to Metacritic, it has an average rating of about 81% which is one of the highest rated racing games. This is definitely the racing game to get before Gran Turismo 5 comes out…

As if Blu-ray disks aren’t big enough, Pioneer is showcasing their new ultra high capacity Blu-ray disks that are capable of holding a whopping 400 GB of data (half of your entire porn collection)! The standard Blu-ray disk today holds about 25 GB of data. This new technology is the same concept as dual layer DVD’s except that it will split the Blu-ray into 16 different layers each holding 25 GB. 400 GB isn’t even the limit as Pioneer is anticipating capacities of 1 TB in the years to come as they utilize both sides of the Blu-ray disk. The PS3 is reportedly already able to read these disks so future games can include entire mini-series for cut scenes!
