So far, some features that are available in this update are:

• Automatic Funding for the subscription service [PlayStation Plus] can now be found under Account Management .
• Recommendations for other PlayStation Store items and games, also known as “You May Like”.

This is unbelievable seeing two of some of the greatest fighting franchises coming together in one bunch to create an awesome cross-over that we won’t ever forget. Just after seeing the first game play footage I was blown away and I really like the fact they are keeping most of super street fighter IV game play elements and evolving into this. Your destiny awaits below:

Official Debut Trailer

The old looking Cole will be back for InFamous 2

IGN reports at the San Diego Comic Con, a panel was held for Sucker Punch and before the panel even began, news spread out that Sucker Punch is changing the new look that they had originally planned for InFamous 2 and going back to their roots.

When the team showed off the first look at Cole, many fans of the original game were surprised at how much he had changed and wondered why the new look? But now Sucker Punch has justified that they will be returning to what Cole looked like previously. InFamous 2 is set to launch sometime in 2011.

Better save room for another collectors item!

I don’t think anyone can forget this song from Rockstars hit title, Red Dead Redemption.  The song appears when you venture off into Mexico for the first time. Jose Gonzalez had a privilege to play a live acoustic version of “Far Away” on the rooftop of the Rockstar office in NYC.

It wasn’t that long ago that an advertisement from TV3 came out that was practically identical to the one Playstation’s Kevin Butler advertised not too long ago. Well he has decided to send his regards to the company who made this video in exchange for something else. This is some of what Kevin Butler had to say:

“It’s been said that imitation’s the sincerest form of flattery. If so, color me flattered. However, I do have some constructive criticism for the work that I would like to share.”

1. No title for your guy? VP of Big Bigness? PS3 Commercial Tribute Manager? Details, folks.

2. The TV3 version was completely lacking in PS3 video game footage. Clips from Uncharted 2, MAG, God of War 3, or even clips of our upcoming releases Killzone3 and Twisted Metal would have really added some epicness to the spot.

3. The beard. I think it should have been longer.

4. I did like the slow motion effect at the end on the guitar solo. Way to plus it out.

5. Two-color mylar confetti > rainbow paper confetti. Just sayin.

These just happened to be some of the answered questions that some of the Playstation community was wondering about the game.  I hope this most certainly answers your questions and helps you understand what this game will look and feel like when it finally comes out.

Well there you have it the next spider-man dimension revealed, although wasn’t much of a big surprise or maybe is there more to the ultimate spider-man than we know than just the regular black spidey suit? Well either way I think this will be one of the best next gen spider-man games to come out swinging…I could be wrong though, but I hope you enjoyed this most recent trailer.

Yes, it almost sounds like a dream come true for all those street fighter fans out there getting their moves on. Well with a cast of already 32 characters, a few more wouldn’t hurt would it? There is no specific information on who or what might be coming to the playing table, but all we do know for now is from an advertisement flyer that is showing off Super Street Fighter 4 coming to the arcades, tells us that new challengers are coming! This has all been looked into and it is quite possible that we could be seeing this in some new DLC on the way. I wonder who’s next?
