A busy week before the holidays begin in earnest, and lots of killer new videos from the likes of UNCHARTED 3, MotorStorm Apocalypse, Resistance 3, LittleBigPlanet 2, Killzone 3, and even PixelJunk Shooter 2. For me, I think the highlight was getting new details on the “definitive” version of Mass Effect 2 and learning that the game will feature improved textures thanks to the Mass Effect 3 engine, plus all ME2 DLC included on the disc in addition to gameplay tuning and refinements. And it’s coming out soon — really soon. January’s going to be a riot!
I’m playing: Mortal Kombat (got a few quick matches in), X-Men, Spelunker HD (Oh-my-god this game is hard)
PlayStation Store Update — DC Universe Online Beta and free Sam & Max and Prototype for PS+, X-Men, Marvel Pinball, Warrior Within…this week is stacked, you guys.
“The Lab” – December 2010 Schedule — Before we close out 2010, we have one more episode of UNCHARTED 2 “The Lab” to host to go along with the holidays.
Zipline Podcast – Episode 27 — it’s time to start closing out 2010 with the final episode of Zipline. Travis Steiner and Ben Jones return to the show with new insights into the state of MAG and a few new SOCOM tidbits for your ears.

Please play my LBP level Drake and Tag: bThe Vampire’s Tomb, Sid! If I get the “Create” trophy (50 level hearts, and 30 author hearts) I platinum LBP! So Sid, please play it!
Cant wait for Mortal Kombat!! and about mass effect 2 well I never been really interested in this game but I will try the demo maybe it will make me change my mind.
cant wait to play Motorstorm Apocalypse , Resistance 3 !!!! they are 2 of 3 most anticipated titles for 2011 , hope to see The Last Guardian news soon!!!!!
Sorry if it has already been mentioned before but What’s the deal on the sam& max error when i tried to download it? i tried a few times since last tuesday, and its been a no-go, has this been resolved yet?
didnt know this was digitalman123’s Blog and not the Playstation Blog… stop hijacking the posts..
not at all interested in Mass Effect 2… tho i am interested in Uncharted 3… and Destruction Derby 3….. oh, there isnt one?? why not!!??? Get on this please..
anyway, still mostly just playing NFS:Hot Pursuit and waiting for my new gaming PC to arrive…
Oh and while I’m at it, I’ve always wanted to tell you guys that I’ve always appreciated Sony’s online everquest series (I think DC Online Universe is absolutely fantastic and will probably be jumping on board for that. I’m totally sold on it; it feels like I’m playing a spider-man mmo super hero game, you guys totaly nailed the theme), it’s shocking to me that the playstation 3 has been out for so many years now and there hasn’t even been an attempt to bring the everquest series to this online ready console which has an online method to distribute and promote games. If the PS2 Everquest online Adventures Frontiers was a Downloadable game on the PSN, It would not only have been kept alive which it surprisingly still is after all these years. But it would have been exposed to a whole new audience simply “existing” on the PSN. Anyone curious or itching for a console mmo would have at least tried it with a one month free trial, and it would have boosted the online community immensly for the game. Maybe even a port of the free to play EQ2 would have been cool. Just throwing it out there.
I’m playing: Uncharted 2: Among Thieves/Gran Turismo 5
I’m watching: How I Met Your Mother Season 6
I’m reading: Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception Demo Impressions & In-Depth Preview: Family Members, Desert & Fire by nerdreactor.
And one from me:
I’m looking forward to: Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age 2, Littlebigplanet 2 and Killzone 3. (Much more too, but those aren’t until around spring time or next Holiday season ala Socom 4, Uncharted 3, etc)
@20: If you hate characters NOT SLY, then don’t play it. Too many characters.
@19:krae_man’s postin’ alot too! I don’t mind! Thank you for noticing me though!;D
@15: Probably not :(. Two reasons:
-1-The game’s been out for over two years. If they didn’t patch it sooner, probably not now.
-2-LBP2’s right around the corner. They’ll probably stop patching LBP1 after LBP2 release.
sorry I was talking about this present wrapping, was just wondering if it would receive Move support :P
LBP wise, I picked up the PSP version for my younger sister for $20 at EB Games. And I saw Dissidia for $10 at Wal-Mart as well as KH:BBS for $20 at EB. But sadly my pockets were all out of money :(.
I’m Playing: Sam & Max, Gran Turismo 5
I’m Watching: Myself slowly go into madness over exams
I’m playing: Epic Mickey, Animal Crossing City Folk & Wild World, and Dragon Quest 9.
I’m watching: Lots of Netflix. Watched Avatar on dvd tonight and I’ve been watching a lot of Lost season 1 lately. I’ve also been watching Eureka season 3. Tomorrow, I’ll prob watch more Lost, Eureka, and a movie. Not sure what yet. Thank goodness for Netflix on the PS3. :)
I’m reading: Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell. Well, ok, I was reading it and now I’m not and I want to read it more, but I just haven’t been able to get into it. *sigh* Seriously thinking about reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman again.
I seriously can not wait until Tuesday! LBP2 demo, Mass Effect 2 demo, and Dead Space 2 demo! *drools* I have to download the LBP2 demo first and play it. Then Mass Effect 2 and prob Wednesday or Thursday the Dead Space 2 demo. This coming week is going to be great for demos! :)
And on Christmas, it looks like I’m getting a PS3 points card as one of my gifts, so I’m going to get the Costume Quest DLC and prob a PSN game. Not sure what though! Maybe some cool downloadable game will come out on Tuesday? *hopes* In any case, I’m looking forward to this week’s update!
