Hey readers and viewers, come watch me Andrew as I play the latest games as well as discuss games on our Justin.tv stream. Come and participate in our chat and talk about all things gaming.

From the creators of Super Stardust HD comes a new game filled with horror and zombies.

Dead Nation takes place in the not-too-distant future, where a deadly virus is once again sweeping the globe, infecting everyone in its path and killing off almost all the human race. To the horror of the survivors, the dead have begun rising from the grave, hell-bent on feeding on the living and wiping out mankind for good. But, just as it seems all is lost, a small pocket of survivors emerges, determined to take back the world from the undead.

Now that you know about Dead Nation, check out these screens and be sure to check the game out when it releases this fall.

Today, EA has revealed that the first few who purchase the first copies of Medal of Honor will receive an invitation to the Battlefield 3 beta. That’s right, we said Battlefield 3.  DICE the team behind the award winning series hasn’t revealed much on this huge announcement but we’ll be sure to bring you any news as it hits the surface.

Medal of Honor is now available for Pre-Order and PS3 owners will also receive the classic Medal of Honor: Frontlines in remastered in HD. Medal of Honor ships out October 12, 2010.

The Next Generation for PSN?

First off let’s talk about what online storage or online storage is. Online storage is where your games, saves, and media is stored off-sire, online. The way Onlive works where you play, rent, save, and do everything with your games over the internet. It doesn’t all have to be internet based though your games could be stored locally while your saves are off-site.

Local storage where all your data is stored locally. Your game data, saves, everything is on your hard drive. Now let’s use these examples with a Playstation 3. Right now Playstation games are more or less all local. You play then after they are downloaded to your local ps3 HDD and play and save right there. What would Playstation be like with online or online storage?

Say you want to play infamous. You would turn on your ps3, connect to PSN, start streaming infamous and your save if you have one. Play the game over the internet. This system would work really well for game rentals but there are so many problems with this despite it’s advantages.

Is Onlive making the right move?

If your ps3 would happen to get disconnected from the internet or the internet would go out then you are SOL or screwed you can’t play your games or continue at your saves. The technology for internet connection hasn’t advanced enough to support this type of system yet either in my opinion. To not only stream HD graphics, real-time 3D action, and great sound quality to your ps3 on a standard internet connection but to also have no lag on controller inputs would be a challenge for anyone who doesn’t have a T1 line or fiber-optics. If Fiber could become the standard internet for most household however I could see this being changed but not only would that take years but it would also cost lot’s of money.

On the flip-side if your games would become lost or damaged locally or your hard drive in your PS3 would die you could still have all your games and saves safe on the internet. This at times is very useful. Peace of mind isn’t the only good thing about that though. If your someone like me who never has their games organized well enough this would also be good for you to keep them organized.

I am not saying Sony should do something like Onlive or that they will ever do something similar to this but for any system you can think of do you think Online storage and streaming is the right choice or should games stay local? Please discuss this in the comments.

MAG just got a whole lot better

Over on the Official MAG Blog and the PlayStation Blog, Jeremy Dunham of Zipper Interactive has just posted the latest news on a huge update for MAG. The update will be released in early August and will contain the following fixes and improvements:

• A new “Happy Hour” Double XP bonus that’s applied to the first hour of any player’s gameplay session in a 24-hour period.

• Suppression will join Sabotage as a “Faction Neutral” gameplay mode, allowing any PMC to battle each other on any Suppression map.

• Faster download and patching code that allows us to update MAG with more content and bigger file sizes in a speedier way

• Redesigned versions of the Flores Basin (Raven) and Alyeska Terminus (Valor) Domination maps that include new obstacles and repaired exploits.

• New lighting effects for more attractive and realistic environments.

• Various fixes to address bugs or glitches to improve MAG’s overall performance.

From what MAG started out to be is now being perfected than ever before. MAG was released on January 26, 2010 and is rated “T” For Teen. Having somewhat mixed yet, generally positive reviews, MAG is the only console game to date that can have 256 players in one match and perform smoothly. If you haven’t tried out MAG yet then what are you waiting for!

The new Career Mode in all its informative glory.

Interesting update on the official EA website today – the popular manager mode is being replaced by “career mode”, which EA are hoping is going to take the FIFA franchise onto a different plane from its competitors. Although there’s not copious details yet, the information EA were parting with was that you can play through an entire professional career, spanning from starting out as a player, player-manager and finally a full blown manager and ultimately becoming a legend. Basically EA have taken the Be A Pro mode and exploded it tenfold.

As you can immediately see from the picture obtained from the official website, the display view already looks radically different. There’s a news reel detailing not just what’s happening in your club, but relevant news from your rivals, such as injuries, scores and new signings. The whole view looks more streamlined and easier to access whatever information you need.

EA have stated that their development team has been working hard on taking the users feedback from previous FIFA games and channelling the suggestions into reality. Firstly, the transfer system has been made more realistic, as it’s now a dual negotiation: Firstly you have to convince the club with your offer for the player and then you have to convince the player via his personal terms to join your team. For example, you might persuade Bayern Munich to part with the services of Philip Lahm, but he may not be willing to join you as he doesn’t want to leave the country. Admittedly FIFA 10 would also reject some offers for players with responses that you weren’t a prestigious manager, but the player negotiating seems more in-depth in the FIFA 11, agreeing more terms that amount to more than just how big the paycheck is going to be at the end of the week.

Another nice touch is that any players you design via Creation Mode can be uploaded into Career Mode, which means you and your friends can upload your digital selfs into the same team and start dominating.

We’ll keep you updated more news on FIFA 11 as we get it, but the changes that have been implemented so far all look very positive.
