Alright guys, for the next two days (three if you include today), onAXIS isn't going to update you with the latest news. This will be in effect until around 7:30 PM on Sunday March 30, 2008.
The reason is because I'm going to Boston for family reasons, and where I'm heading, I have no internet access. My laptop is unfortunately busted as well. We hope you'll still visit in those three days, keep onAXIS going with traffic.
Once the new site opens (possibly next week), we will have more writers meaning this kind of thing will not be a problem. I'm terribly sorry for this, and I will see you guys Sunday. For now, feel free to drop some news, rumors, and such, in the comments discussion.

GT's DarkSector review is up. I'll post some new stuff in the comments here from time to time.
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/32357.html
I just saw a review for Dark Sector on X-Play and they gave it 2 out of 5.
I think the story was the main reason it got such a bad review. Although they cited problems with the controls also. Apparently they mashed two actions into one button. How stupid is that?!
There are 10 action buttons on the SIXAXIS (four face, four shoulder, and two for each stick) and yet they felt they had to put two actions on one button? I could see if one button is good for both picking up things and opening doors but not for actions that are used in the heat of the moment.
While you don't want to have the press a million buttons during shoot-outs the controls shouldn't fight against you during those moments either.
I was really looking forward to that game but I think I'll rent it (if my local Blockbuster ever gets it) before I purchase. Plus, I'm saving my dead presidents for GTAIV at the end of next month.
If anyone is able to rent and play it should post a review here for the rest of us to read.
Anyone else see the new info on PJM:Encore, and Elefunk. Both games look like must buy PSN games.
There's a new PAIN character coming next week I believe. There is also a new trailer showcasing the new characters.

Grand Theft Auto IV - Amazon exclusive Pre-order
amazon sent me an email to let me know about their AMAZON exclusive GTA 4
AMAZON
Grand Theft Auto IV Special Edition for PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 will be presented in a customized
Grand Theft Auto metal safety deposit box. The box will contain:
- Grand Theft Auto IV game for Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3
- Art book featuring never-before-seen production artwork from the game
- Soundtrack audio CD featuring new material from top artists, only available on this release
- An exclusive Rockstar keychain for the safety deposit box keys
- Completing the collection is a limited edition Rockstar duffel bag
Nice and while it's not bad deal for $90 bucks that's quite a bit of scratch.
Still, it's great for the enthusiast. I don't see myself going that route and would rather save that extra $30 for another game. I saw Assassin's Creed for $40 bucks. Maybe I'll pick that up.
Sony Downplays GTA IV Episodic Content
SCEA's Scott Steinberg tells GameDaily BIZ that only a very small percentage of gamers will even buy the episodic content for which MS "spent the GNP of several small Latin American countries."

Well till this time, I 'll hold back my comments, in my case I will get the PS3 version, my friend ShadowLord will get the Xbox360 version. so till that time Stay toon for more.

Sony Europe is advertising the new PS Store on the real store. Lets hope its not a web browser this time.
To kaddas:
Sony almost has no choice to downplay the DLC for the 360. They don't have a lot of face to save but no matter what they say will be laughing fuel for 360 owners.
What's worse is the rumor that Ken Kutaragi or Kaz screwed up a lot of third-party relationships that could've prevented this game from going multiplatform. Again, a rumor but perception is reality and I don't think Sony ever truly owned up to that.
Regarding the new PS Store, it's nice to see that Sony, at the very least, is acknowledging that the Store needs an upgrade and is going so far as to post it onto the Store's site. Why we haven't seen this in the U.S. is beyond me.
The preview is nothing more than a little Photoshop graphic of a corner being folded down with the new PSN logo behind it and yet another blue background. Seems like they should've posted this to all the stores but maybe the UK is the testing grounds and we'll get it later.
Hope not.
THE WEEKEND AND B3YOND!!!
Okay, this is blatant biting from Kotaku but in order to set a record for the most commented article ever (I'm pretty sure we've done that), tell everybody what you're playing this weekend.
I'll probably crack open Uncharted again and finish my second play through of the game. I really haven't touched the thing since I bought Call of Duty 4 so I feel that it deserves some of my time.
As for my PSP, I was thinking of selling it a few months ago and then decided not to. During that time I deleted all the game saves on the Memory Stick. So right now I'm rebuilding my efforts in Ridge Racer. Yeah, it's old and it was my first PSP game but it's still a blast to play.
Or I could keep playing Lego Star Wars: The Original Trilogy if I get bored with RR.
So what are you playing this weekend?
I'm still playing COD4 online. I can't stop but that's not really a problem cause I have nothing else at the moment. I just finished uncharted and I'm thinking about what game to get next.
I played the demo of condemned 2 and it was really good. Has anyone played it and if so what did they think of the full game?I heard there were problems on the PS3 like a loss of sound every 30 seconds. Can anyone confirm?

Playstation World Magazine Confirms Exclusive GTA IV Downloadable Content for the PS3 and Home Inclusion:
According to Playstation World Magazine, Rockstar will in a way aid Sony in launching Accomplishments for the system, Themed spaces for Home and provide exclusive content for the PS3 (although not as large scale as the 360's exclusive content) after the release of the 360's episodes.
Updates:
Theres a more insightful explanation available in the below link:

exciting stuff!
WOW! This has the potential to be just as exciting as the exclusive DLC Microsoft will get.
As I've stated several times in the past, in order for Home to be successful it MUST get content from other developers. Just like third-parties are important to a console's success, Home needs content from third-parties. And let's not forget that Phil (we miss you) mentioned that non-gaming companies can get in on the act so it'll be nice to see spaces from The Gap, Pepsi (or Coke if you prefer), Nike and others.

JOBE RECONFIRMS PLAYSTATION STORE OVERHAUL FOR APRIL
Dylan Jobe loves community interaction. The amount of work he does is awe-inspiring. Not only does he write novel-sized PlayStation.Blog posts, but he then reads every single comment and answers all that deem a response.
Every now and again, some big information can slip into a little response. To the 150th comment, Jobe responded, "I know! April is crazy right? New store, new games…"
This only further verifies an overhaul of the current PlayStation Store in April. With a rumored date of April 15, the new PS Store is said to take inspiration from the SingStar-themed SingStore.
With two mere weeks standing between today and the rumored PS Store update, we're extremely excited to see how the situation pans out. We'll keep you updated.
-- end article --
Personally I cannot wait for the new store and it's hard to believe that it's only a couple weeks away and could be done by the 15th, which just so happens to be my birthday!!!
That's also income tax day so for those that owe Uncle Sam can at least get a gift in a new Store.
