Heavy Rain *Update*

At long last there has been an update for Heavy Rain! This video from 1up.com (viewable here as well as right here)
I know it's more of an interview than an update, but this actually shows gameplay, and that is what I have been waiting almost a year for.

So, gameplay-wise it looks a much more advance versions of Fahrenheit's, but with the X,O,Square, Triangle buttons coming into play. Seems you have to keep a look out for them aswell not just look at the top of the screen and wait for them to appear. 
Level design looks amazing, but really thats not much of a plus seeing as this is 3rd gen and is expected from most games now. 
Still no talk of a release date, and David is still keeping his mouth wire shut about the story, (BTW does he sound less and less 'French' each time he does something like this?)
Want this game so much.

Fallout PS3


Microsoft's iron grip on DLC exclusivity is slowly being wedged open it seems, with the news of Fallout 3's Operation: Anchorage being release for the PS3 in early June. The other 2 DLC packs, The Pitt and Broken Steel, will then be released in 4 to 6 week intervals.

Not only is that good news, even better is that there are 2 NEW DLC packs in the works for Fallout 3; Point Lookout and Mothership Zeta. No idea what Point Lookout is about, but I can guess that Mothership Zeta is about and alien invasion, given that the scout ship you find is called "Scout Ship Zeta", BTW I love the Alien Blaster, kills most Super Mutants in one shot.

Hopefully this example of 'sharing the love' will be noticed by Rockstar and Valve and any other company that sold its soul to Microsoft, if not, maybe seeing the money roll in from us PS3 owners will get them to give us The Lost and The Damned, and the Team Fortress 2 DLC.

N.B. I'm not biased against Microsoft, but getting a company to make DLC for its versions only, just doesn't seem right.

Meet The Spy

Decided to take a break from my revision, and this showed up on my youTube subscriptions. 

Valve have released a new "Meet The..." video.  But being the Spy, no-one is sure who the spy is. Try and guess who it is before it is revealed.




I really like Team Fortress 2, but sadly I only have the PS3 Orange Box version, which apparently will NEVER recieve the updates that the PC version get. I only got Orange Box because I didn't think my laptop could cope with it, but I recently got a copy of Half Life 2: Death Match and Garry's Mod off Steam, and they work quite well, so after the exams, (and when I'm in a place where the download speed is faster than 56Kb/s) I might get myself a copy.

Anyway, back to revision, I'll start again properly at the end of the week, and remember...

Spy Checking, It could save lives, and end theirs!

P.S. Speaking of Steam, add me if you like my ID is ThePhyonix
