Fatal Inertia Coming to PLAYSTATION 3 Spring 2008

Koei recently issued an updated release schedule to the media, with Fatal Inertia conspicuously absent from the list. When asked, the publisher said there was no formal release date for the futuristic racer, but they expected the PLAYSTATION 3 version to arrive sometime in Spring 2008.

There's no word on if the PLAYSTATION 3 version will include additional content, but given the delays have been technical issues, 1UP wouldn't rule it out.

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune Bloodless In Japan

Most people are usually jealous of Japan because they get the better end of the stick, most of the time. This time, there is no need to be jealous. It seems in Naughty Dog's latest release, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, when you shoot an enemy, by magical effect, no blood comes out. As a matter of fact, the whole game is bloodless.

It actually has nothing to do with the game itself, just the region your PLAYSTATION 3 is from. So if it's from Japan, your bloodless.

Heads Up: Download Japanese PSone Titles Through PC Store

Here is a little heads up from onAXIS. If you visit the newly launched PLAYSTATION Store on the PC, you can create new accounts and such.

If your looking to get some of the Japanese titles for your PSP, they have a fair amount of titles, including games like Arc the Lad II, Dino Crisis, Resident Evil Director's Cut, Metal Slug, and more. If you already have a Japanese PLAYSTATION Network account, you can log into the store with that account and everything will change into Japanese like the image to the left, and you can add funds and buy the games.

If you don't, you can click create new account, make a Japanese account, and then start getting those Japanese games. They have a fairly huge lot of games, over 100 PSone classics. They also have the Sony Cat Companion helper for the PSP as well, as a free download if you want to give that a try. Enjoy!
