I was playing an awesome round of Bad Company 2 this morning, and I was getting ready to knock down a building with 2 enemies in it with my T90 tank when – Poof! The network goes down. Again. With no explanation from Sony yet..

Grrrrrr…..

Update: Some users are reporting that they can login again.. I’m off to check mine!

Update 2: I’m signed in!!

What perfect timing! The promising contender for GAME OF THE YEAR 2011, Portal 2, comes out on Tuesday and the very next day, attackers (who will remain anonymous) have shut down the entire Playstation Network. Don’t you just LOVE it?

Regardless of whether you support the group that has caused this issue or not, (I sure don’t) the fact remains that people who have paid for services available via PSN are very upset, and millions of gamers are left S.O.L. with their favorite games collecting dust in the corner while Sony tries to figure out how to prevent this from happening again.

Here’s Sonys official release from Playstation.com:

What Are Your “Must-Haves” This Fall?

While reading through news sites like I do every morning I came across an article on CNN talking about 5 must-have videogames that are releasing this fall. I read through the list and while maybe I can agree with a couple I just don’t see how some of those games made it to the list.

I know every genre has diehard followers but even that doesn’t excuse games like Guitar Hero: Warriors Of Rock to be considered a must-have. And while the article I read deals with games releasing across multiple platforms, three of them will appear on the PS3. I think our system is finally coming into its own and becoming a major player in this “next generation” console market. What I want to focus on in this entry are the exciting games releasing this fall for the PS3.

According to the Playstation.Blog starting tomorrow you’ll be able to play games in 3D. Unfortunately only four will be available as the first few. Although technically only two are full games the other two are demo’s. When you buy a 3D enabled Sony Bravia TV you will get a voucher to download all four games. The four games are:

Wipeout HD (full game)

Super Stardust HD (full game)

Pain (demo)

Motorstorm Pacific Rift (demo)

Sony also revealed that their new Playstation Move game The Fight: Lights Out will also be available in 3D with full motion control. Apparently this is just a small taste of what Sony has in store for us.
