ANOTHER PS3 model? Sigh.

On the plus side, it may give way to a price cut. If they do slim it down further though, I'd personally like the power button to go back to being touch-sensitive.

I don't... I hate touch sensitive buttons... for one they rarely seem to work for me... except when I don't want to hit it

Same. Was not a fan of the fat PS3 buttons

You guys obviously are both dead thus no body heat to trigger them.

A few days ago, I saw a rare PS3 that could play PS2 games.

Also, in case anyone hasn't mentioned it: Heihachi and Japanese console mascot Toro Inoue joined "All-Stars".

Amazing Spider-man is pretty baller. Pretty sure I will platinum it. I already have all 700 comic pages despite only having done like 25% of the levels.

You are a madman, sir.

Anyways, gonna try and take advantage of the 50% extra trade-in deal (which will be 60% thanks to my card) at GameStop this weekend and get Lego Batman 2. I would love to have enough credit to get another game at a reasonable price so I can finally use my "Buy 2 used, Get a third used free" coupon I still have since I just joined their PowerUp Pro program only a couple months ago.

The web swinging is the best it has been since Spider-man 2. And Swinging is my favorite part of the games. Mostly because Spidey inside is usually lame.

The Drop for this week

PlayStation Network

Rainbow Moon – The residents of Rainbow Moon who have found themselves in this sudden and unpleasant situation react suspiciously and even nastily, which certainly doesn’t make things any easier for our brave hero. There’s only one thing for Baldren to do: he has to seal the gate and warp himself back to his home planet. This is easier said than done, since the gate can only be sealed by a dimensional gate staff and no such object is available anywhere on Rainbow Moon. However Baldren knows that he can create one if he finds the right materials. He needs seven magical artifacts, said to be hidden deep inside Rainbow Moon’s dungeons.

Quantum Conundrum – In the first-person puzzle platformer Quantum Conundrum , players must use the unusual ability to shift dimensions to navigate the twisting corridors of Quadwrangle Manor. Players take on the role of a young kid dropped off on his uncle’s doorstep for the weekend; his uncle just so happens to be the brilliant, eccentric inventor, Professor Fitz Quadwrangle. Upon entering the Professor’s vast manor home retrofitted with crazy technology to test his latest hypotheses, players quickly realize their uncle has gone missing. Fortunately, players soon gain access to Professor Quadwrangle’s latest invention, the Inter-Dimensional Shift Device, which, at the press of a button, will shift the world around them to an entirely new dimension. In order to find him, players must use the newly found IDS Device to dynamically change the world to and from a variety of different dimensions to progress through the complicated Quadwrangle Manor.

Game of Thrones – Created in partnership with author George R. R. Martin, this role-playing adventure is inspired by the author’s award-winning, international bestselling A Song of Ice and Fire fantasy series (better known under its first book’s title, A Game of Thrones.)

Frogger: Hyper Arcade Edition – Frogger’s coin-op thrills are back and better than ever in Frogger: Hyper Arcade Edition! The arcade excitement of Frogger returns in time for its 30th anniversary celebrations with updates that are sure to delight fans old and new.

Get Up and Dance – Get Up And Dance is the ultimate dancing game for everyone to play, whether you are the star performer or prefer to stay out of the limelight as a backing dancer, Get Up And Dance is for you. Featuring everything from classic funky disco tracks to current chart hits, all complete with their official videos, there’s something for everyone to enjoy!

NCAA Football 13 (Also on PSN) – With a new passing system that changes the way quarterbacks and receivers play and respond, combined with a new read and react defensive AI system, NCAA Football 13 delivers greater realism on the virtual gridiron.

There is going to be more than one season of Telltale's TWD game?! YES! YES! YES!

I guess the huge financial success of the first episode made them go ahead with any plans for a second season.

Thanks to episode 1 alone, TWD is Telltale's most successful game ever.

[andrew8798]

I wonder if they ever going to come out with that BTTF Sequel

[Deleted]

A retail version of TWD S1? Cool, cool cool cool.

So, picked up Lego Batman 2 like I planned yesterday, along with Crysis 2 and inFAMOUS 2. Really enjoying all three so far.

it is sequelmania BROTHER!

I just beat Lego Bats 2 last night, now I am mopping up. I also picked up "You Don't Know Jack". Such a great series.

Finally beat Heavy Rain. Really damn good, surprisingly creepy at times as well.

Two things that irked me, though:

1) The way a lot of characters pronounced the word "origami".

2) The voice actors for the children where HORRIBLE. Just.......HORRIBLE. This is why more times than not they get adults to voice children in animation and video games. Also, most of the child actors were unmistakably French. Which is a bit jarring to hear as the game is set in America(Pittsburgh, I think, to be exact).

And I had no real problems with the gameplay in the game. If anything, I was kind of used to it, as it plays a lot like Telltale's The Walking Dead game.

Play it with the French language option. It becomes a whole different game.
