Every respective video game console has their own set of exclusives with some being more popular than others. For quite some time, one of Sony’s biggest PlayStation exclusives was none other than Tomb Raider. This franchise has spawned countless titles not to mention a major motion picture. Unfortunately, the franchise has somewhat died off as of late due to lackluster titles but if you’re looking to relive its glory days, you’re in luck.

Sony has come forth to announce that the Tomb Raider Trilogy will be hitting the PlayStation Network on March 22nd in all of its remastered HD glory. Not only will this feature 3 different Tomb Raider titles but it will also feature a PS3 theme and two different PlayStation Home Avatars: both Lara Croft and a Viking Thrall.

Are you a PS3 owner who is pissed that the Xbox 360 will be getting the first Call of Duty: Black Ops DLC pack before you? Well fret not as we’ve got some great news for you today. Reports have surfaced that say the PS3 will be getting a Splinter Cell Trilogy release that will see some of Tom Clancy’s greatest games repackaged and remade for use with Sony’s new console.

Unfortunately, other than the fact that Splinter Cell, Pandora Tomorrow and Chaos Theory will make the jump, we don’t have much more information. Luckily, with 2011 right around the corner, that’s all going to change soon enough.

The second Mass Effect is still undergoing development, but that isn’t stopping BioWare from making plans for a trilogy and beyond. In an interview with GamerZines, BioWare vice president Greg Zeschuk revealed that Mass Effect could be seeing more sequels than originally intended.

“We’ve said Mass Effect is supposed to be a trilogy,” said Zeshuck, “so you’re going to see at least a third Mass Effect, and even more if everything goes well.”

The Mass Effect universe is a pretty expandable one, so we could be seeing spin-offs and other types of installments to the franchise. At least we know now that the series is here for good.

Mass Effect 2 is slated for a first quarter 2010 release for the PC and Xbox 360.

If you hadn’t figured it out yet, there will be a Fable III. Between Peter Molyneux’s fervent love of the series as expressed in every interview along the way, the financial success of a game that almost always guarantees a sequel and the less-than-subtle hint in the downloadable content pack ‘see the future’ you should be aware that Fable III is going to get made.

If you STILL need more proof you’ll just have to check out the New York Times. Skip the business section. No, it’s not under science and technology either. The arts? Nope. It’s under the “weddings/celebrations” section. Joshua Atkins, a Lionhead employee is getting hitched Sunday in San Francisco, presumably so he can then sacrifice his wife at the temple of shadows (kidding). In the announcement it lists Atkins as “ the lead game designer for Fable III, a video game series produced by Lionhead Studios in Guildford, England.”

Whether or not it’s a misprint, you should take it as confirmation that Fable III will happen. It’s inevitable.
