EA has put a stop to all production for the PS3 version of Red Alert 3. They will be focusing all of their attention on the PC and Xbox 360 versions to make sure that they are released on schedule.

 “We can confirm that the development of Red Alert 3 for PS3 has been put on hold. EALA is focusing resources on development for PC and Xbox 360 which will ship simultaneously this autumn,” said EA PR manager Jonathan Goddard.

Launching on May 20th, 2008 in the United States is Sony PS3’s Singstar a music game. This game has already been in the European market for some time. The Sony Playststion Blog showed details of the PS3 Singstar game.

The Singstar disc will come with thirty songs, in addition to that you can go to the Singstore that will have about two hundred downloadable songs for about a buck and a half a piece. Each song will come with a video performance, you can expect Sony to add 20 to 50 songs to the Singstore monthly.

Rock Revolution was revealed this week at the Konami Gamer’s Night and it was confirmed that it would be released on the PS3, Wii, DS, and Xbox 360. The game is said to feature more than 40 cover songs on the disc which will be “the most realistic drum peripheral on the market.” It will also support guitar and bass as well as the vocals and drums. 

Interesting, Wii and DS versions will seemingly be stripped down and/or optimized for their respective strengths. Online multiplayer will not be supported on either, but the Wii version supports air drumming and air guitar like Disney’s forthcoming Ultimate Band, and the DS version will support vocals.

Cameron Suey the producer of the new Star Wars: The Force Unleashed stated that, “Between the Xbox 360 and the PS3, if we’ve done our job right, they’ll be indistinguishable. We really wanted to make the same sort of polished, high-end next-gen experience on both those versions.”

He went on to explain that both versions will be void of the multiplayer feature because it would have distracted them from putting everything into the story line and all of the features needed for the single player mode.

Grand Theft Auto IV has sold an amazing 6009,000 copies in the UK on its first day of release. The anticipated game has even become more popular then Halo 3 (if that’s possible).

That’s right! They managed to sell over 335,000 units on the Xbox 360 on the first day – which beat out Halo 3’s number of 266,000. Sales on PS3 for GTA IV were 274,000 units day one, easily making GTA IV the top selling PS3 debut in the UK. The previous record for an opening day debut was 501,000 units in the UK, held by Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
