Rumor Killers: Xbox 360 Maxed Out? Forza 3 Confirmed? New PS3 Exclusive and More01.06.09 TheGameReviews clarifies current rumors in the industry. Uncharted 2 to max out PS3’s SPUs01.06.09 PCN writes: That isn’t stopping Naughty Dog from trying to reclaim it’s title with Uncharted 2, though. In a recent interview, the developer’s co-president Christophe Balestra spoke about how they would be utilizing the PS3 to accomplish this. "Uncharted used 30 per cent of the PS3’s SPUs, and this time we’re maxing it out" Balestra explained. This will allow for better environmental interactions, as well as more detailed and believable body and facial animations. Getting To Market First Helped MS Beat Sony This Generation01.06.09 Each console generation brings with it fierce competition between the consoles/companies. While it’s undisputable that Nintendo did what was necessary this generation to securely capture the casual gaming market (as Wii sales clearly indicate), the battle for the attention of the more hardcore gaming crowd was, again, between Microsoft and Sony. Could it be that simply making it to market first is the reason Microsoft is faring better than Sony this console generation?

Rumor: Playstation 3 possibly inching closer toward an early “Game Over”01.06.09 GamerTell writes: "While there are undoubtedly a multitude of gamers who are proud of their Playstation 3 purchases, Sony business executives are not as confident, considering that their choice gaming console remains consistently behind the competition and possesses a negative stigma as a product with features that fail to justify its high cost." First Details on Ubisoft’s I Am Alive01.06.09 Back when 1up first got word of I Am Alive, a new disaster game from Ubisoft, the popular gossip was that the title would feature Jade Raymond (of Assassin’s Creed fame) as producer. Since then, Ubisoft hasn’t provided much info aside from the debut trailer above, but 1up finally got new details courtesy of the cover story from the latest issue of GamesTM. And as it turns out, Raymond isn’t as involved with the title as the rumor mill led us to believe.

PAIN glitch fixed, world now has solid ground01.06.09 Filed under: Game Patches  During the holiday break, we discovered a terrible bug in PAIN that rendered new purchases of the Abusement Park expansion completely unplayable.
