Is This the PlayStation 4 SplitShock Controller? [RUMOR]
Some new information has surfaced about the controller for SONY’s soon-to-be announced PlayStation 4/Codename Orbis console. If true, this is a HUGE leak! If false, it is another rumor in a sea of rumor/fervor surrounding the upcoming console, which is reportedly going to be announced at a February 20th event in New York City. I find it strange that this rumored controller does not feature analog sticks – usually, a mainstay in controllers of today. Perhaps SONY is breaking away from the usual sticks to virtual ones? These images and details supposedly come from a source at a N.Y. PR agency who…
SONY Announces Next-Gen Console Event
SONY has announced that we will all get to “see the future” with a special event to beheld on February 20th, 2013. The event will be held in New York City and, according to sources at the Wall Street Journal and Forbes, will be the unveiling of their PlayStation 3 successor, currently holding the code-name of “Orbis”. Un-named sources inside Microsoft say that the company will hold an event to announce its next console some time after the SONY event. Event Video
Next PlayStation and Xbox Performance Details, Leak Imminent? [rumor]
If this story from VG24/7 is to be believed, it seems that Sony’s next game console, code-named “Orbis”, will be able to push 1.84 teraflops. They also report that this is far more powerful than rumors leaking out of CES that claim the Microsoft console, code-named “Durango”, will push 1.23 teraflops. If this data is correct, it would seem that the Sony console has about a 50% greater performance than Microsoft’s. The rumors go on to say, however, that Microsoft’s “Durango” will have twice the amount of whole system RAM (Durango: 8GB, Orbis: 4GB), which could balance things out quite a bit. Both systems…
Could the Xbox 720 and PS4 Be Announced Before E3? [Rumor]
Looks like Game Informer magazine may have some info about the revelations of the forthcoming “next-gen” Microsoft and Sony video game consoles. In Game Informer’s February 2013 issue, the magazine claims that the companies are planning “Apple-syle press conferences” near the time of the Game Developers Conference in the last part of March, 2013. This would put the game console announcements a month and change ahead of the venerable Electronic Entertainment Expo in June – leaving E3 to be more about the game announcements rather than the hardware. The full quote from the magazine report reads, “We hear that both Sony and…

Infamous 2 Review (PS3)
Infamous 2 by Sucker Punch and Sony is an interesting beast to say the least. Going back in time a bit I wasn’t a huge fan of the original game. I felt the story was a little bland and the camera issues simply killed the game for me. I walked into the world of Infamous 2 with a little bit of hesitation but my gut feeling said to give this game a chance. I am glad I did because Infamous 2 is a whole different beast from the first game. In a time where the Playstation needs iconic characters, Cole…
