PlayStation Around The Web: What We Read

It’s a pity the weather is so nice out here in the Bay Area, because all I want to do right now is have a controller in my hand. Battlefield 3 lands in under 48 hours (don’t forget: PS3 owners get first crack at the game’s DLC packs); look for reviews of that, as well as next week’s greatly anticipated Uncharted 3 to hit this week. The PSN is bursting with exclusive games, and you can add PixelJunk Sidescroller and inFAMOUS: Festival of Blood to that list on Tuesday. And I’m still just a few hours into the excellent Batman: Arkham City. It’s truly the best time of the year.

Shame about all that unused sun out there.
