Gamers Evolved

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.

Christmas shopping has officially begun and the Playstation is starting off with a bang. After the hectic rush of Black Friday Sony was able to take a step back and evaluate exactly how much they had sold.

Sales showed that the PlayStation 3 shot up to 298 percent since Sony introduced the cheaper $399 40GB and most of the sales occurred on Black Friday. The news follows a similar positive week in Japan, where the PS3 outsold Nintendo’s Wii for the very first time.

The holidays are the best time to get great deals on games and gaming consoles. Sure you may not always get the brand new one that has been released – but there is always something out there for you to get that could be almost as good. Japan at least is showing us how to do this by re-designing the PS2 for those who want one – but don’t want to pay the $500 it takes to get the PS3.

Guitar Hero marked the beginning of a new wave of gamers. No one expected it to be as popular as it now is and many are shocked that it has made it to game number three. Even though Guitar Hero II was a bit of a disappointment – fans are hoping that Guitar Hero III will bring back everything that we love with a few new things that will spice things up.

Guitar Hero III brings back the serious fun from the first one plus adds new features. It has rock classics such as Metallica’s One, Living Colour’s Cult of Personality, Iron Maiden’s Number of the Beast and even Sonic Youth’s cult hit Kool Thing.

The holidays are coming quickly around the corner and with the holidays comes a mad rush of people trying to get their hands on the best game systems that are available, and even some of the cheaper ones. Rumor has it that Sony will be lowering the price of the 80GB Playstation 3 down to $499 from $599 for the holiday season.

Additionally, the company will launch a new 40GB PS3 model for $399 complete with a Spider Man 3 movie bundle. Sony will make official the rumor at this year’s Tokyo Game Show later this month in addition to dropping the price of the PS2 to $99.
