A rumour is making the rounds, by way of the latest issue of the Official PlayStation Magazine, that a PlayStation 2 shooter is to have a "triumphant comeback" on the PlayStation 3 in 2011. We're in the enviable position of having some quite intimate knowledge of said shooter.* Connected Consoles brings us the OPM rumour from the magazine's April 2010 issue, where it is written: "One of PS2's ... more.

Ported from the Xbox 360 by Sega, Bayonetta on the PlayStation 3 left a lot to be desired, resulting in a patch made by none other than Sony in an attempt to clean things up. Platinum Games appears to have learnt its lesson, developing shooter Vanquish on Sony's console from the outset. Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami explains in an interview with PSM3 why the PS3 is his team's lead platfor... more.

Well we're not sure if you care, but IO Interactive (Hitman, Mini Ninjas) and Square Enix (something called Final Fantasy) have announced the release date for Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days.

Yes, yes we know it isn't out everywhere, but God of War III launched today in the US and midnight events around the country brought out the passionate Kratos fans who couldn't wait to get their hands on the Ghost of Sparta's latest and last outing.

We told you that a release date for Gran Turismo 5 was coming soon and now Sony Computer Entertainment Japan has given another hint as to when that is.

Tomorrow the God of War trilogy is expected to come to an end -- and with it, the end of Kratos. We've traveled through many lands over the years with the Spartan of choice and he has been the inspiration of many cosplay enthusiasts throughout the world. However, the team behind the legend has no desire to milk the franchise through the likes of spin-offs. In a recent interview with Eurogamer.b... more.

Just a little thought for you to mull over as the weekend comes to a close.

Out for just over a year, Sony's social networking initiative PlayStation Home has had its critics. The service has been gradually growing in features, but many have argued that its audience isn't worth shouting about. Sony is arguing the contrary; PlayStation Home is actually booming.

We've seen the magazine scans and the screenshots, but we've yet to gawk at gameplay footage of Crysis 2.
