PlayStation Around the Web: What We Read

We’re now firmly settled into the Summer Lull, and I, for one, love it. When I look into the not-too-distant-future of Resistance 3, Twisted Metal, UNCHARTED 3, Arkham City, Battlefield 3, Skyrim, and many more one right after another, I’m glad that now I can “stretch my legs” with titles like inFAMOUS 2. Yes, I got every last blast shard this time ^_^.

I’m also taking advantage of the lighter release schedule to catch up on PSN titles I missed, like the very-well-reviewed Outland (example below), and to take a crack at one of the games I regret missing last year: Darksiders. How are you spending your summer gaming hours?
