One of the PlayStation 3′s flagship franchises is Killzone. Currently on its second iteration, Killzone 3‘s highly anticipated February 22nd release date is quickly approaching. However, seeing how the game has yet to come out, prospective buyers may be wondering how good the game will be and if it will actually be worth a buy.
Well the Official PlayStation Magazine has just posted their score of the game giving it a perfect 10/10 in a review in their March issue. While you won’t be able to read the full review until you pick up the issue, below is an excerpt:
Killzone 3 takes a blade, jams it into a Helghast’s eye socket, and twists it
Sounds pretty promising. But then again, it’s the Official PlayStation Magazine and Killzone 3 is one of the PlayStation’s only exclusives so we’ll have to wait and see how the game is for ourselves. And don’t worry, we won’t be dazzled by the snazzy 3D graphics – or will we?
Angry Birds has become one of the most popular mobile games ever to hit the airwaves. Currently available on mobile platforms like iOS and Android, Rovio (the game’s developer) is looking to bring Angry Birds to even greater heights. In fact, the game studio has revealed by way of Twitter that the game will be coming to both the Nintendo Wii and 3DS later this year. We’re not sure if it will be standalone physical title for the latter or a downloadable game, but we’ll keep you posted.
Rovio also let us in on another tidbit that Angry Birds for the Xbox 360 may be coming with optional Kinect support. This, quite obviously, would mean that you’d be able to utilize your hands to sling shot an arsenal of birds as those pesky picks. Sounds pretty awesome, we’ll keep you posted with further developments.
Amazon.com has been known to hold various promotions that sees the price tag of highly sought after products get dropped significantly. Video games are no different as they have time and time again appeared in Amazon’s Gold Box deal-of-the-day. In fact, just today Amazon.com has posted their Gold Box deal as Dead Space 2.
While the PS3 version has already sold out, the deal still sees the price of both the Xbox 360 and PC dropped to $39.99 and $39.95. If you’re looking to get fancy, Amazon also offers the Collector’s Edition for $59.95 – a very enticing deal considering the regular game usually retails for this same price. PS3 owners will also want to make note of the Collector’s Edition deal as this version of the game has yet to sell out.
If you’re looking to get down on this do so fast because as soon as the day or stock runs out, the deal will expire.

Hitting the shelves for the Xbox 360 and PC on March 2nd of last ear, EA’s Battlefield Bad Company 2 has been received generally well by critics across the board selling over 5 million units since launch. While the game’s story line is certainly no laughing matter it’s the game’s online multiplayer that has us coming back for more. However, if you’re one who can’t go a day without getting their Bad Company 2 fix, you may want to sit down for this one.
EA has just notified us that they will be having some scheduled downtime for Bad Company 2 on the Xbox 360 starting today, February 7th.
Luckily, it doesn’t seem as if things are too serious and if everything goes according to plan you should be back online fragging before you know it
After a game console hits the streets it’s virtually become tradition for the various manufacturers to release a whole slew of different game themed bundles. The latest of such bundles comes in the form of a 320GB MotorStorm Apocalypse bundle which you can see above. If you couldn’t guess, the bundle comes with both a 320GB PlayStation 3 and a copy of MotorStorm Apocalypse.
Now, something to make note of is this bundle was outed by Amazon France and listed with a €349.95 price tag and March 16th release. Considering MotorStorm Apocalypse isn’t set to hit North American shelves until April 12th, there’s no telling if this bundle will be making its way across the pond.
Angry Birds has become one of (if not the single) most popular games on the mobile market. Available for popular mobile platforms like Android and iOS, Angry Birds has spanned many different releases with new levels for the game coming out all the time. However, what would happen if you were to build the Angry Birds levels and actually shoot real projectiles at them? Well, you’d probably get something like the above video.
Pretty neat video – check it out and let us know what you think.
If you’ve been paying attention you may remember that there was supposed to be a secret code for an Angry Birds level during the Rio Super Bowl XLV commercial. Upon entering this code and completing the level, you would tehn be entered into a raffle to win a trip to the premiere of Rio. However, now that the Super Bowl has come and gone, perhaps you missed the code or don’t know what to do with the code.
Luckily, the above YouTube video has already hit the airwaves giving us a full walkthrough of how to use the code and beat the level. If want to enter the code but don’t want to spoil the level be sure to stop the video right around 45 seconds.
Dedicated console gamers may stick to their roots and say that their controllers of choice are the best but PC gamers are whistling to a much different tune. While controllers for consoles like the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 may designed from the ground up with gaming in mind the precision can’t really compare to that of a keyboard and mouse combo.
Luckily, if you’re one who wants to use their keyboard/mouse with the Xbox 360, you’re abe to do so thanks to products like the XIM3 adapter. Priced at a somewhat lofty $149.99, the XIM3 will give gamers the ability to seamlessly utilize a wide array of otherwise unsupported peripherals with Microsoft’s Xbox 360.
Anyways, the reason I’m telling you this is because just today the XIM3 went up for sale only to quickly sell out not long after. Luckily, if you’re still looking to get down on the product they have put up a page where you can leave your email and be notified as soon as more stock is made available.
