First 3D games see the light with a set date

June 10th. Mark that day down on your calendar because that is the day that gaming will take the full step into 3D. Sony’s PS3 will be experiencing an update with three of their games. Bear in mind this is an announcement for the Japanese games but it is extremely likely that the same exact update will be occurring around the world.

Wipeout HD, Star Strike HD and Mr. Pain will all be receiving the third dimensional make over. Wipeout HD and Star Strike HD will be getting the update at no charge, while Mr. Pain will have to pay a bit for his makeover, costing roughly $3-$4 for the update.

So now we shall see exactly how well the gaming community will welcome 3D in their video games. Will people enjoy them? Or will they see this as another gimmick which will quickly lose momentum after not being adopted by many companies. We are already seeing a full video game in the form of Killzone 3 embracing the 3D option, will others? Time will tell.

In Episode 1 left many people were left curious about Thorne and her motives. This latest episode explains her in more depth and answers most of your questions (well at least my questions)

This episode shows Thornes’ story and how she unleashed the mutant virus upon the city. (Why does this sound oddly familiar?)

Of course, it ends right when more questions need to be answered. Hopefully the next episode comes out next week if this stay a weekly release.

Crackdown 2 is set to release in July.

A small collection of images for the next instalment in the Pro Evolution Soccer franchise have hit the internet. This follows on from the unsuprising revelation in May that PES 2011 was being worked on and coming out later this year.

  

Seemingly from some screens, Lionel Messi looks to be the mascot of the series for the second year running. Last year he featured on the PES 2010 front cover, as well as fronting some advertising campaigns for the game, and it looks like he is set to do the same this year which is understandable considering his current title of ‘FIFA World Player of the Year’.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 is due out for PC, PS2, PS3, PSP, Wii and Xbox 360 this autumn.

“Avatar Days” is a new short by digital artist Cormac Kelly and not only does it give an extremely interesting perspective at the relationship between a Wow Player and their game character, but it also has WoW characters walking around in the real world.

It is a very interesting watch, both for the narration and the video itself. Take a look.

Deals for this week (May 31, 2010)

This weeks Xbox LIVE Gold Member deal of the week is three deals we’re calling MOVIE MANIA.  The following movie related games and content are 50% off this week only: Prince of Persia Classic is 400 points, Transformers 2 Character and Map Pack Plus is 400 points and Watchmen: The End is Nigh for 800 points. [Via Major Nelson]

Thoughts:
The Prince of Persia classic game is pretty good, but it is very old. The fact that its normal price is still at 800MSP is amazing. Try out the demo, some people quite enjoy the game.

The transformers DLC is probably going to be the least purchased item in this group of deals. It is DLC for a movie based game that I doubt anyone still has. If you still have it you probably already have the DLC.

The Watchmen game is a movie based beat ’em up. It is actually kinda fun for the first 15 minutes or so. IF you are a fan of beat ’em ups you should take a look at this one. If you aren’t (like me) I’d suggest to check out Prince of Persia.

Peanuts and the Red Baron this Wednesday

This Wednesday you have the chance to have some Peanuts. I’m not talking about the food of course. Because this Wednesday Snoopy Flying Ace will be landing in the XBLA for only 800 MSP ($10). In this game you will be flying with the best black and white dog around; Snoopy. But not only that you will have the ability to choose from many of the characters of the famous Peanut roster including your own Avatar but lets be honest everyone is going to be wanting to play as Snoopy.

The game itself looks to be quite an intriguing aerial shooter as you do battle against the Red Baron.  Exactly what other type of other enemy fighters is unknown but I can’t wait for this one as I grew up with the Peanuts comic strips and holiday movies.
