Those of us with a PS3, rejoice because thankfully the details to the dreaded PlayStation Plus have been revealed and will be starting on June 29th, and it is not bad at all. Sony’s Playstation Network and online multiplayer will still be completely free of cost with zero additional fees down the line according to Sony.

If you do so happen to take part in the Playstation Plus, expect to be paying $50 per year of service to the PS Plus, or PSP ironically. It will also run in $18 packages of three months each. However when you sign up for the service, Jack Tretton stated that the first three months of service will be free. Also you will be able to access the following features as a Plus subscriber:

  • Exclusive in-game DLC and other content
  • Free full games, changing each month
  • Early access to demos and betas
  • Auto-patching feature, which will detect, download and install updates

Will you be taking advantage of this new service? Or being as that it will still be completely free to play online would you prefer to stay with normal network service?

Twisted Metal, smashes into the PS3 in 2011

So David Jaffe has been hiding a secret from us. Twisted Metal is making a return to it’s roots on the PS3 and it will include flight. You heard me correctly, flight. There will be aerial vehicles of all kinds available for use in Twisted Metal. Will this end up turning into a dog fight in the air? I certainly hope so. There is no release date yet except for some time in 2011. But I am extremely glad to see that this game is finally making a return. I loved every iteration of the game from the very first Twisted Metal for the Playstation 1 and Calypso was the worst enemy. Who else is excited with this one?

Looks like we’re going to be able to move it quite soon. The PlayStation Move controller has been set for a release date in North America this September on the 19th, in Europe on the 15th, and Japan on October 21st. Looks like Japan is getting a major jump on the rest of the world when it comes to Moving.

The price tag accompanying the controller will be $50 which isn’t bad considering the price tag of Kinect at $150. It will also be coming in a bundle with the Playstation Eye for $100. Plus if you were to purchase the bundle, Peter Dillie said that there will be a game called Sports Champions (Wii Sports) included.

Plus if you wish to purchase the whole console together with the Move, it’ll run $400. Of course it seems if you just want to navigate and not take full advantage of the full Move controller, it can be purchased separately for $30. The navigational part is the nunchuck seeming part of the combination. All of these prices are in US dollars by the way.

Not to be outdone by Nintendo with Holiday release suspense, Dillie also said that there will be at least 40 different Move titles available by the Holidays. Though there will be up to 20 different games set up to be Moved at the release date, which will run $40 each.

Epic Mickey Gameplay and Info!

Yet another Holiday release is coming with Epic Mickey exclusively on the Wii. Mickey will be making an extreme change from your standard Mickey Mouse that we’ve all grown to love. There will be characters drawn from nearly every Disney franchise including some of the various theme park attractions.

There will be the use of Paint and Paint Thinner within the game to change the world around you. Enemies can be changed to allies by repainting them as something different, or destroyed by using the paint thinner to erase them from existence. Plus if you change the environment around you, you can drastically change something later in the game by a few simple adjustments. Catch the exact coverage of Disney’s Epic Mickey below!

Bringing back the DK Krew is great news and Retro Studios will be taking a crack at bringing them back with Donkey Kong Country Returns. A trailer shown at E3 has brought about the news that Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong will indeed be returning to the Wii this holiday season. Sure are a lot of games being pushed back to the holidays this time around, going to have quite a lot of choices to make later this year. Catch the shown trailer below!

Have you been waiting for a new Legend of Zelda game? I’m not talking about any simple DS game, but a full blown Wii game? Well wait no longer because Nintendo’s E3 Conference has just announced The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword for the Nintendo Wii. The game is slated for release in 2011 and is set to be one of the largest in the Zelda franchise, following a more realistic path much like Twilight Princess. I love the Zelda franchise and it is good to see that they are finally making a new full console version, looks like I won’t have to be playing Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time when this baby comes out.

Catch the Trailer below from Gametrailers.

Even more Mini Games coming in Wii Party!

Sure there are a medley of party games out there, Wii Party itself was originally only scheduled for release in Japan. But instead it is now coming to America during the Holiday season. The game itself will contain a total of thirteen different party games overall, and these party games will contain seventy different mini games. It may be just another mini game machine but at least they are bringing you a huge amount of them in one package.

At E3 Nintendo revealed that there was something called a Balance Boat, and a bomb passing game like hot potato style. Should be interesting to see what other crazy games they will end up bringing out. Though this feels extremely like Mario Party with Miis.

Goldeneye 007 confirmed for the Wii only

Guess what? One of the most highly acclaimed shooters of the past few generations has been confirmed for a new rerelease by Nintendo today at E3. Daniel Craig is going to be voicing James Bond rather than Pierce Brosnan and there will be eight classic bond characters that will be making a reappearance. The game is expected to arrive by the Holiday season, though there is no exact date yet.

The graphics have been updated and one of the best things about this announcement? Split screen multiplayer is coming back. There are 16 different multi-player types and the game is not going to simply be a port, but a full re-release. Who loved the original Goldeneye? I know I did.
