GameSpy writes in their latest article:
"After playing at least a round on each console, once to a crushing defeat, then a tie on 360, and finally a victory on the PS3, we can confidently say that it feels pretty similar to last year's game on 360, and oddly, it feels a little more fluid on the PS3."Seems like the first game I've seen with the PlayStation 3 as the lead platform. Hopefully more will come in the future.
According to GameSpy, both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 NBA 2K8 versions will be locked at 60 frames per second. Heres the quote:
The beginning of our brief presentation showed off some of the new features you can expect. For the simulation aspects, it's all about upping the physical game on defense and focusing on one-on-one encounters. Of course, it's still about the five-on-five action, the skeletal structure of any good basketball game, but the team really wants to look at increasing the tension on D and at the post. As with many sports games this year, regardless of publisher, you'll see an increase in animations, as many developers should hopefully hit a stride after two next-gen titles and some successes and failures under many of their belts. For 2K8, expect to see more movements in terms of pivots, foot planting, and of course, everyone's favorite, dunks. Plus, you'll be getting 60 frames per second locked in for PS3 and 360.Read the full article at the read link.
Woah. This is a sad day for me, personally looking forward to Stuntman: Ignition. Today, IGN has done it's review, and they gave it a 6.5/10, passable. They claim the gameplay is:
Far too reliant on trial and error. Having to restart a few times is acceptable, but when retries climb into the dozens, the game grows beyond frustrating.Hit the read link for the full review.

We have an amazing deal going on at Amazon. Follow the steps below. This really makes you mad if you got the PlayStation 3 during launch like I did. All we got was Talladega Knights and we had to pay $600.

Square Enix has launched a new portal on their Japanese site in preparation for the Tokyo Game Show 2007. So far it appears to show nothing but a bunch of little people setting up for the show.
If you click on the 2007 in the middle, it will show you details on the show that I cannot translate. Hopefully, more will come to this portal as the Tokyo Game Show approaches.

With Warhawk's Blu-Ray disc release coming tomorrow and the download coming in around 50 minutes, how about we get excited over a few packaging shots. Actually, the only package shot we have is the one above, the ones below are shots of the Bluetooth Headset that is included with the packaged game. Enjoy the shots courtesy of IGN.
1UP reviewed Warhawk today and gave it a great score of 8.5/10. Here is how they open their review:
On paper, Warhawk may not seem all that special. The game includes only five maps, after all. Only four game types. It may sound fairly limited, actually. And if you were paying 60 bucks at retail for the game itself (rather than the game plus a Bluetooth headset), you might justifiably feel like you were missing something. But for the -- admittedly pricey -- $40 you'll pay to download the game, you're getting a better deal than you might think.Read the rest of the review at the link below.
