On Monday 5th and Tuesday 6th October, a handful of movie theatres in America will give film buffs an opportunity to play the awe-inspiring Uncharted 2: Among Thieves – on Sony 4K hi-res digital projectors, no less. Monday’s showcase will be a private invitation-only event, whereas Tuesday’s will be open to the general public, promoted by radio and social networking sites.

Mike Fidler, Senior Vice President of Sony Electronics' Digital Cinema Solutions and Services Group, had this to say about the scheme:

'We think it's a start of something for us, and hope we can build this into a standard element in the movie-going experience. Our goal in converting theaters to digital is to go beyond the traditional movie-going experience and focus on helping exhibitors find ways to fill seats [...] gaming will be an important part of that equation.'

Considering how heavily the recession has impacted on the movie industry's profitability, could this initiative be the ideal way for cinemas to coax the home entertainment generation out of their armchairs and into the aisles?

We don't know about the rest of you, but projectors, PlayStation and popcorn combined sounds like gaming heaven to us. Fame, anyone?

With chatter already circulating about Metal Gear Solid: Rising, the spin-off that focuses on Raiden and isn't helmed by Kojima,we continue to get news of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, a coop-centric addition to Hideo Kojima’s growing canon that will stealthily make its way to the PSP sometime in 2010. Peace Walker is the next true game in the MGS series.

At present, we don’t know a lot about the project, but we have managed to locate the trailer shown at Gamescom on Wednesday. Characteristically, you can expect a well-polished cinematic presentation of decent length – 9 minutes, to be precise.

If that isn’t enough for you, we’ve also stumbled across further footage on the Game Trailers website and a few screenshots collected by Joystiq.com. Are you sitting comfortably? Then please, begin...

Attention LittleBigPlanet fans!

At long last, our prayers have been answered. Toy News Online has reported that Impact International has sealed the deal to produce plush Sackboy toys for Sony, as well as a host of other merchandise. Products will include plush items, bean toys, mugs, bobbleheads and bags. It’s all very exciting!

Further to this, Brazier & Co. has been commissioned to produce PVC figurines, and a limited edition Sackboy, whatever that means. Maybe he can self-combust like he does in-game – that would be awesome! Make sure you keep your beady-eyes peeled in stores across the UK, Eire and the Middle East from October.

It has also been confirmed that other Sony titles, such as God of War, Imfamous, Motorstorm, Killzone and Resistance, will be celebrated in the form of 2D and 3D posters, postcard packs, badges and stickers created by GB Eye Limited, though the timescale for these remains unknown.

What a great way to start the week...

Mass Effect 2 May Still Hit PS3

Interesting, this. Bioware refused to say that PS3 won't get Mass Effect 2 when asked pointblank by VG247.

“We have announced Mass Effect 2 for PC and Xbox 360,” said Ray, “We have no comment beyond that.”

Sometimes, the English Language is way too easy to exploit. Still, keep clutching your straws - or your balls, whichever works for you. Just hope we'll get it, ok? Read more »
