Play LittleBigPlanet 2 This December

 

LittleBigPlanet was a massive success for PlayStation and the fans cannot get enough of it. Afterall it is one of the most fun games around. Well a LittleBigPlanet 2 is going to be releasing soon, but sadly it got pushed to January instead of this holiday season.

There are no worries though as Sony announce a demo for the upcoming game will be released December 22nd. Yes you can still check out the new gameplay mechanics, including a grappling hook, story levels, and some other odds and ends with the upcoming demo. A Score-based multiplayer mode will also be availible.

So if that doesn't cheer you up, I am not sure what will!

Batman Arkham City To Be Revealed During VGA's

Batman Arkham City To Be Revealed During VGA's

 

Batman: Arkham Asylum was a great success and seemed to have revived the superhero genre of games. With the announcement of the second one, fans have been excited but there hasn't been much to see.

This is all about to change as Batman Arkham City is getting a full fledged treatment during Spikes Video Game Awards. The awards start on December 11th and we should expect to see an actual trailer from the game, along with the devs possibly giving us some more details. So far we have only seen a teaser trailer and some screenshots, so this could be exciting.

The tweet revealing the info from Geoff reads : "First 2: VGAs to feature world premieres of BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY and the unveiling of the next game from BioWare."

So How Big is Gran Turismo 5?

So How Big is Gran Turismo 5?

 

Since the beginning of time, mankind has waited for the release of Gran Turismo 5. Ok, well maybe not since the beginning of time, but it's been a while. Gran Turismo 5 is finally releasing on Wednesday 24th November, and inevitably it has been leaked on to the internet beforehand.

So how big is this game? God of War 3 was approximately 40GB in size, and a game like Gran Turismo 5, which has over 1000 cars and tons of levels and gameplay modes must be just as big right?

Wrong, the game is approximately 19.5GB in size, still too big for a DVD, but I'm guessing everyone expected it to be bigger than that. The small size can however be explained easily if the game is using more shaders rather than textures, because the cars don't necessarily need to be textured, and a shader actually looks more natural.

GT5 EU and US Release Date Announced

GT5 EU and US Release Date Announced

 

Wednesday November 24, 2010. Mark that date on your calendars because that's when Gran Turismo is coming out in both PAL markets and North America, just in time for Black Friday. Kazunori Yamauchi announced the date, along with the following statement:

"Gran Turismo 5 is an ambitious project, with challenges and complexities which have made it our version of the Apollo Space Program! When we created the original Gran Turismo back in 1997, we wanted to set a completely new precedent for the racing genre. With the technological leap onto PlayStation 3, our objective with Gran Turismo 5 was to create another great revolution which would not only satisfy our own high expectations, but would meet or even exceed the anticipation of the fans. Satisfying the loyal Gran Turismo followers is at the heart of all of our efforts, which is why it was such a difficult decision to delay the release of the game, and one which we did not take lightly. I can only apologize to everyone for making you wait so long, and I hope that when you try out the wealth of driving experiences available in Gran Turismo 5, you will not be disappointed."

The official box art has also been unveiled which can be viewed below:

No PSPGo Price Drop For The UK

No PSPGo Price Drop For The UK

 

As you may have read, there was to be a price drop of 30 GBP on the PSPGo. Sony is now refuting that report, stating that this was a website error. Upon checking the official website, the GO is still priced at 129. Sony states that it will be fixed sometime today. Though if they were smart, they'd honor any purchases made at the (still current) price as that's just good business. But then again, Sony has some odd ways of doing business as it relates to customers at times as well.

Something else to consider is that this error could turn into quite the profit for Sony, with Christmas fast approaching. They would see more volume of sales if they put out a dictum that basically stated that the price was in error, but to thank customers for loyalty and with the holiday season around the corner, they'll keep the price as is till Dec. 26. If I were them I'd sing it to the rooftops as well.

Treyarch Helped Modern Warfare 2 Online

Treyarch Helped Modern Warfare 2 Online

 

The highly anticipated Call of Duty: Black Ops recently released and has mixed feelings. If you are not playing on Xbox 360 it seems to be luck of the draw as to rather or not you have online issues. This means alot of people are still saying Treyarch has yet to live up to Infinity Ward on the series.

Activision's Bobby Kotick says otherwise. "That’s an unfair view of Treyarch. You know it’s not really an objective view. Treyarch contributed so significantly to the multiplayer technology that’s in Modern Warfare 2 and they didn’t really get the credit for that.”

I don't know how much Treyarch helped and I don't know how much Modern Warfare 1 helped, but I do know Black Ops is having some massive issues. So if Treyarch wants that respect a nice little patch or quick fix will bring it rather easily. Black Ops is a great game and you will see our review later today.
