Three Speech Title Round-Up– It just goes to show what great games are going to be released on the PS3 in the next couple of months or so. My favourites I’m looking forward to though? Has to be Resistance 2, LittleBigPlanet, and BioShock. Those are my dream three. Right there.

Premium Themes on the PlayStation Store
Premium Themes on the PlayStation Store– I suppose new content like this is good as there’s always going to be someone out there with money burning a hole in their pocket. Personally though, themes don’t appeal to me. I like the clean, elegant XMB that is there as default. I’ve even got rid of my wallpaper. Just too distracting. See also, TheSixthAxis’ report.
Three Developers Explain LittleBigPlanet Level Design to a 7-Year-Old
Three Developers Explain LittleBigPlanet Level Design to a 7-Year-Old– Kotaku shows why LittleBigPlanet will open the PLAYSTATION brand to such a wide audience, and why the rest of the gaming industry should be afraid. There’s also some neat level design tips for the rest of us!
MTV Multiplayer interviews John Smedley
MTV Multiplayer interviews John Smedley– If you like your news thick and fast then this interview certainly provides that. For anyone with a passing interest in Sony Online Entertainment (SOE), this is essential reading. Whilst SOE aren’t the darlings of the MMO industry, what they’re upto deserves attention.
Coming Out of the Shadows: Rusty Buchert Talks Latest Project
Coming Out of the Shadows: Rusty Buchert Talks Latest Project– Sure, when it comes to games consoles, I’m quite biased. But if this is not innovation of the art form, I don’t know what is. Innovation these days seems to be on the PS3 and the Wii.
See the Official PlayStation Bluetooth Headset
See the Official PlayStation Bluetooth Headset– An informative video of the new headset. My only gripe, is why was this not available sooner?! The Xbox 360 has had a unified online strategy, and the hardware to back it up from day one!
GTA IV gets Trophy patch
GTA IV gets Trophy patch– I must admit, this news really took me by surprise. Considering such games as Race Driver: GRID and Resistance: Fall of Man were not going to be patched, I had resigned myself to the fact that GTA IV would also not be patched. Sooo….. this is great!
UK PS3 install base over three times what it was a year ago
UK PS3 install base over three times what it was a year ago– This is good news, but the Xbox 360 remains very strong in the UK (Microsoft: Xbox 360 outselling PS3 two-to-one). The PS3’s strong games lineup is in no doubt- I think this all has to do with price point at this stage. The Xbox 360’s cheapest price is now as low as £129.99 whilst the cheapest PS3 is currently £299.99. That’s some difference.
Make your PlayStation Eye work on Windows
Make your PLAYSTATION Eye work on Windows– Now this is cool, props off to the very talented guy who made this work; some great backwards-engineering. Obviously the camera will work on any computer potentially, but Sony has not made any drivers for anything apart from the PLAYSTATION 3. The question is, will any computer users be interested in using the PS Eye?
