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.

As Uncharted 2 is still one of the most popular games on the PlayStation 3. Today, Naughty Dog continues to shows their support by releasing an update later today on PSN. Here’s what you can find in the latest update:

Changes made to multiplayer character skin system to allow for voices to be included with future skins

Made changes to character game mechanics to prevent players from using exploits

Fixed ability for players to “super throw” the treasure in Plunder matches

Cash awarded per kill in Elimination has been increased to $750 per kill

Enabled the ability for Naughty Dog to easily alter the amount of cash earned for individual Medals on a playlist or gametype basis and per-kill

Thanks to some of the changes above, we’ll be issuing a LiveData update that will rescale Medal cash awards in Objective games ONLY. For matches which fall under the Objective modes, cash for individual and kill-based medals have been decreased in value, while cash for Objective based medals have been increased as follows:

• Tip Off – $1,000
• Captured – $4,000
• That’s Embarrassing – $10,000
• Protectorate – $2,000
• No Cigar – $2,000
• Drop It – $1,000
• None Shall Pass – $5,000

So with this update, will you continue to play Uncharted 2 to reach the new level cap that was raised not to long ago? Hit us up 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 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.
