Firmware 3.10 went live earlier today, bringing with it Facebook integration facilities, a colour palette for your gamercard, and a more convenient way to view and manage pictures and photographs. However, nothing was mentioned about the return of error code [80022A07].

You can tell a lot about a company by the parties they throw. Sony clearly know parties, as demonstrated by the following checklist: cool venue, free food, free booze, celebrity DJ, hands-on tech, and the obligatory glamorous people. Did I have a good time? Yes. But more importantly, is the Playstation Video Store any good? [...]

More and more first-person shooters are incorporating a zombie element these days. Following in the footsteps of Treyarch’s Call of Duty: World at War, Gearbox will be releasing a zombie-oriented DLC package for Borderlands, entitled ‘The Zombie Island of Dr Ned’.
The story goes: a moustache-touting doctor has accidentally zombified the working-class inhabitants of Jakob’s Cove. [...]

Capcom revealed yesterday that players will be able to unlock and play as infamous Resident Evil antagonist Albert Wesker in Lost Planet 2. There is one small catch, however; this character skin is a GameStop pre-order perk.
Playing as Wesker isn’t incentive enough, you say? Well, taking advantage of this pre-order promotion will also add an [...]

A few weeks ago, IGN writer Jimmy Thang reported that Glenn Schofield, EA Redwood Shores General Manager and Dead Space Executive Producer, indirectly hinted a sequel to Dead Space was on the cards. Strangely enough, some remain unconvinced.
Well this ‘some’ might be interested to know that, earlier this evening, I received a mail from a [...]

The word on TheSixthAxis is that fungus-filled strategy game Mushroom Wars will be hitting the PlayStation Network again – this time in the format of a playable demo.
Ok, so we realise developer Creat Studios has adopted the try-before-you-buy philosophy a little late, releasing a demo weeks after the full game was released for purchase, but that’s a technicality. [...]

In a recent interview with The Times, Rockstar Games’ Vice President of Creativity Dan Houser has let an infinitesimal cat out of the bag labelled GTA V – well, a whisker or two at least.
Post-Red Dead Redemption, Houser will begin co-writing the script for GTA IV’s follow-up title, which is anticipated to be approximately 1,000 pages in [...]

The Earforce P21 from Turtle Beach (MSRP $79.95) solves one of the chief problems with microphones on the PS3. Now, we all know “that guy”. The guy whose mic is turned on and during an otherwise awesome session of Call of Duty or Killzone, you have to listen to the game the way he hears [...]

I almost suffered a coronary when I read the ambiguous headline ‘Onion breaks news of Modern Warfare 3’. Modern Warfare 3? Already? Really?? But, when the link redirected me to the Onion News Network website, I quickly realised I was about to endure a meaningless spoof video. However, it was actually very entertaining – so [...]

Going by a rumour-turned-real post on ScrawlFX, it appears some new (and, unfortunately, essentially useless) alterations are soon to be made to the PlayStation 3’s XMB in the next firmware update.
For example, you’ll be able to manage your Facebook profile through your PlayStation Network account. You’ll be able to change the colour of your gamercard [...]

Well, our personal belief is there never should have been a problem but we do have to admit, Infinity Ward got the online outage fixed pretty quickly. Just got done levelling up a few ranks and happy to report online seems to be working just fine. Anybody still experiencing problems?
