The Top 10 Best PS3 Games for 2011

  1. Batman: Arkham Asylum
    Bruce Wayne's true face returns to action in Batman: Arkham City, the smart, action-packed follow up to Batman: Arkham Asylum. This Game of The Year candidate builds on Arkham Asylum's solid foundation by adding new hard-hitting melee attacks, more Bat-gadgets, stealth, detective work, and an expansive playground—an open-air penitentiary in Gotham's slums—where the city's worst minds run wild. These criminal minds include the familiar (Catwoman, The Joker, Two-Face), and the more obscure (Calendar Man, Hugo Strange, Solomon Grundy). Developer Rocksteady Studios has proven that comic book licenses need not be trapped in the usual murk of suspect gameplay and mediocre movie tie-ins.

  2. Battlefield 3
    Battlefield 3, the latest wartime first-person shooter title from DICE, launched the opening salvo in this fall's FPS conflict. Battlefield 3 puts gamers in the role of U.S. Marines who battle opposing forces (The People's Liberation and Resistance) in New York, Paris, and Tehran—the perfect settings for making things go boom. The military combat title is powered by DICE's proprietary Frostbite 2 engine, which enabled the developer to build massive, destructible environments, dynamic audio, and incredible animation (utilizing ANT technology) that its rival, Activision's mega-popular Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, simply can't match. The FPS features a variety of controllable vehicles (sonic boom producing fighter jets, helicopters, tanks, APCs, and transport vehicles), co-op split screen play, and a competitive multiplayer mode that supports up to 64 combatants.

  3. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
    The fifth installment in Bethesda Softworks' long-running fantasy action-RPG series is easily one of the most anticipated games of 2011. Set two centuries after the events in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Skyrim sees gamers trekking through the open-ended Skyrim world during the midst of a civil war—all under the looming shadow of a prophesized apocalypse at the hands of a dragon god. Players can "roll" a character based on human, elf, and other races, each of which come with their own specific attributes that you can tweak over the course of the adventure by adding new abilities, magic, gear, and weapons.

  4. Everybody Dance
    The PlayStation Move has suffered a severe lack of quality titles, but Sony's Everybody Dance may make your motion control investment easier to swallow. The dance title features 40 chart-topping tracks (including Usher’s “OMG,” LMFAO's “Party Rock Anthem,” and Duck Sauce's “Barbra Streisand") that feature the original artists' music videos. Everybody Dance allows players to boogey alone, engage in co-op team up (Partner Routine), competitive head-to-head (Dance Battle), or mix it up in a 20 player dance-off (Party Play). The Dance Class feature lets gamers improve their steps using routine breakdowns, and even create new ones using the Dance Creator feature.

  5. The Ico & Shadow of the Colossus Collection
    Whenever talk turns to tired and beat debate about video games as art, two games are inevitably presented to represent the hobby's artistic merits: The PlayStation 2's ICO and Shadow of the Colossus. These two Team ICO-developed games—the former a platformer, the latter a monster-scaling action title—featured subtle, emotional storytelling that made them two of the most beloved titles of that console generation. ICO and Shadow of the Colossus return to action in a PS3 combo pack that features HD visuals, full stereoscopic 3D support, and 7.1 surround sound. The package also includes exclusive behind the scenes "making of" videos featuring the making of ICO and Shadow of the Colossus and a sneak peek at the upcoming Team Ico release, The Last Guardian.

  6. Rocksmith
    Guitar Hero and Rock Band let you fulfill your rock star dreams by jamming on simple plastic instruments. Fun diversions, yes, but you're still jamming on, well, simple plastic instruments. If you're ready to graduate to something that will make you truly feel like Hendrix or Clapton, check out Ubisoft's Rocksmith. This isn't so much a game, but a training exercise that uses a real guitar (no colored fret-buttons here) and a dynamic difficulty that scales base on your ability to cover Cream, Lenny Kravitz, Radiohead, Soundgarden, The Strokes, and other guitar-grinding music acts.

  7. Saints Row: The Third
    While Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto franchise has shifted away from absurd sandbox crime capers to ones that are more serious, Volition's Saints Row keeps the wackiness alive with a game so over the top, you can beat foes with an oversized sex toy. Unlike previous Saints Row games, Saints Row: The Third uses an open-ended, inter-connected story structure where your gang's interactions with the two rival gangs affects how outcome. The game has plenty of customization options: Respect points now act as RPG experience points that are used to improve melee combat, firearms skill, and other attributes as you run wild in the fictional city of Steelport. Plus, Saints Row: The Third boasts a Burt Reynolds cameo, complete with cowboy hat.

  8. Sonic Generations
    Sonic the Hedgehog began life as SEGA's "extreme" rival mascot to Nintendo's Mario, but the speedster has become so much more than a product of the knock-down-drag-out 16-bit console war; the Blue Blur stands as one of the most recognizable figures in video-game history. Sonic Generations celebrates the hedgehog's two decades of stardom by bringing together everything that made the Sonic franchise a success (bright, colorful graphics, insane speed, and simple controls) and eliminates everything that's tarnished it in recent years (oddball playable characters, lycanthropy, and guns). Sporting 2D and 3D gameplay that stars classic "pudgy" Sonic and sleek, modern Sonic trying to solve a time anomaly, Sonic Generations is a wonderfully and lovingly crafted "thank-you" gift for those who have followed the Hedgehog's adventures over the past two decades.

  9. Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3
    Capcom and Marvel Entertainment double dip on the red-hot Marvel vs. Capcom 3 with a follow up: Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. The manic 2D fighting game, available for the PS3, Xbox 360, and upcoming PS Vita handheld, adds new gameplay modes and 12 new fighters. New to the Marvel side are Doctor Strange, Ghost Rider, Hawkeye, Iron Fist, Nova, and the obscure Rocket Raccoon. Team Capcom sees Firebrand, Frank West, Nemesis Type-T, Phoenix Wright, Strider, and Vergil. In addition to new characters, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 features a host of enhancements and new features to improve the game’s balance and online functionality. Two of the biggest additions to Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 are the fan-requested Spectator Mode (which allows fighters to watch live online matches together) and Heroes and Heralds mode (a single- and multiplayer, team-based contest in which gamers earn new abilities with upgrade cards by battling Galactus' heralds).

  10. Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
    Nathan Drake returns to modern-day swashbuckling action in Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, a cinematic action title serves as the follow up to Naughty Dog's classic Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. The third game in the Uncharted franchise sees adventurer Nathan Drake in search of the fabled "Atlantis of the Sands." The gun-toting protagonist's trek into the heart of the Arabian Desert features Hollywood-caliber interactive cinematic experience, online multiplayer support, and stereoscopic 3D visuals. Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception is a must-have PS3 exclusive.

The Top 10 Best Xbox 360 Games For 2011


  1. Assassin's Creed: Revelations
    Master assassin Ezio Auditore continues his battle against the Templars in Ubisoft's Assassin’s Creed Revelations. Developed by Ubisoft Montreal, Assassin’s Creed Revelations sees the expert killer following the footsteps of the legendary assassin Altaïr as he goes on a journey of revelation that takes him to Constantinople, where Templar troops threaten to destabilize the region. The game continues the series' open-world gameplay. The latest iteration includes the "hookblade," a tool which can be used to zipline across rooftops or grab enemies to yank them in for a combo attack. New to the series are trippy "Dali-esque" first-person platforming missions.

  2. Batman: Arkham Asylum
    Bruce Wayne's true face returns to action in Batman: Arkham City, the smart, action-packed follow up to Batman: Arkham Asylum. This Game of The Year candidate builds on Arkham Asylum's solid foundation by adding new hard-hitting melee attacks, more Bat-gadgets, stealth, detective work, and an expansive playground—an open-air penitentiary in Gotham's slums—where the city's worst minds run wild.

Players can "roll" a character based on human, elf, and other races, each of which come with their own specific attributes that you can tweak over the course of the adventure by adding new abilities, magic, gear, and weapons.

  5. Gears of War 3
    Gears of War 3, the final installment in the Gears of War trilogy, hit store shelves this fall, bringing the war between The Coalition of Ordered Governments (COG) and the Locust Hoard to its conclusion. Epic Games' third-person shooter sees you obliterating alien armies in beautifully detailed war-torn environments. Gamers rack up experience points by reviving teammates, aiding teammates, performing special types of kills, and making progress in various game modes. Earning levels unlocks the use of special character skins and weapons within the game's multiplayer mode. Science-fiction writer Karen Traviss penned Gears of War 3's story (which added emotional gravitas to the carnage), and rapper-turned-actor Ice T voiced the character Griffen.

  6. King of Fighters XIII
    SNK Playmore's long-running King of Fighters franchise sees its latest entry with King of Fighters XIII. The follow up to the maligned King of Fighters XII features over 30 playable characters (including the return of fan favorites Mai Shiranui and Yuri Sakazaki) and beautiful high-definition, 2D sprites. The King of Fighters is SNK's flagship fighting series that began in 1994, which served as a platform to bring together many of its properties (Art of Fighting, Fatal Fury, Ikari Warriors) in one title in three-on-three fisticuffs. The King of Fighters XIII features optimized netcode to prevent lag when playing online, new Neo Max super special moves, faster gameplay, and a new in-game camera perspective. The game also includes multiple endings (depending on specific characters or forming specific teams), and unlockable customization options to make your fighter unique.

  7. Metal Gear Solid HD Collection
    Created by the critically acclaimed video game director Hideo Kojima, Metal Gear Solid HD Collection showcases, for the first time, some of the most popular Metal Gear Solid titles in beautiful high-definition. The Metal Gear Solid HD Collection is comprised of five games: Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. It also contains the two classic retro games that kicked the complicated Metal Gear storyline in motion: Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, which were originally released in Japan for the MSX home computer more than 20 years ago (the original Metal Gear was ported to the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1988). The stealth-based action series, which is one part G.I. Joe-styled military sci-fi and one part hardcore political drama, sees a cast of heroes executing solo sneaking missions through enemy installations in order to maintain world peace in the midst of international conflicts. Clones, super soldiers, cybernetic ninjas, and hulking, nuclear missile-firing robots are some of more colorful series aspects.

  8. Sonic Generations
    Sonic the Hedgehog began life as SEGA's "extreme" rival mascot to Nintendo's Mario, but the speedster has become so much more than a product of the knock-down-drag-out 16-bit console war; the Blue Blur stands as one of the most recognizable figures in video-game history.

  10. Yoostar on MTV
    Do you have MTV dreams? Now you can live them out in Yoostar on MTV, an Xbox 360 Kinect title that uses second-generation Virtual Green Screen technology to plop you into a number of familiar MTV shows and movies. The video karaoke game challenges you to reenact over 80 scenes that are culled from MTV reality shows, music videos, news and interview sets, as well as award shows. You can also improvise to create an original clip against the virtual green screen. Gamers can save their performances to the Xbox 360's hard drive, or upload them to Facebook, Twiiter, or the Yoostar Social Online community.

New FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 Trailer

Square Enix has released a fantastic new CG trailer for Final Fantasy XIII-2. Two armies clash as mortal enemies face off in a duel of swords.





A young man wielding two unique blades appears before Serah. Melee is the fighter's combat style of choice. His dual-wielding method demonstrates an expert technique, which includes combining his sword into one new weapon. Although straightforward and cheerful, no one knows much about his past, or how he stumbled across Serah in her time of distress.
Final Fantasy XIII-2 releases January 31, 2012 for Xbox 360 and PS3.

DOC HOLIDAY Series Heading to HBO; Ron Howard Set to Direct Pilot

According to Deadline Akiva Goldsman, the writer behind films like A Beautiful Mind, I Am Legend and more than a dozen episodes of Fringe, has set up a deal with HBO to bring Doc Holliday to the small screen.

Screenwriters Adam Cooper and Bill Collage have been brought on to adapt Mary Doria Russell’s novel Doc into a western drama series. Ron Howard will direct the show's pilot episode.

A big focus of the series will be a story from Holliday’s life never before told on the screen: a love triangle between the gunslinger, his prostitute wife Kate Elder and his best friend and Old West icon Wyatt Earp. Here is the synopsis of the novel:
The year is 1878, peak of the Texas cattle trade. The place is Dodge City, Kansas, a saloon-filled cow town jammed with liquored-up adolescent cowboys and young Irish hookers. Violence is random and routine, but when the burned body of a mixed-blood boy named Johnnie Sanders is discovered, his death shocks a part-time policeman named Wyatt Earp. And it is a matter of strangely personal importance to Doc Holliday​, the frail twenty-six-year-old dentist who has just opened an office at No. 24, Dodge House.

Beautifully educated, born to the life of a Southern gentleman, Dr. John Henry Holliday is given an awful choice at the age of twenty-two: die within months in Atlanta or leave everyone and everything he loves in the hope that the dry air and sunshine of the West will restore him to health. Young, scared, lonely, and sick, he arrives on the rawest edge of the Texas frontier just as an economic crash wrecks the dreams of a nation. Soon, with few alternatives open to him, Doc Holliday is gambling professionally; he is also living with Mária Katarina Harony, a high-strung Hungarian whore with dazzling turquoise eyes, who can quote Latin classics right back at him. Kate makes it her business to find Doc the high-stakes poker games that will support them both in high style. It is Kate who insists that the couple travel to Dodge City, because “that’s where the money is.”

And that is where the unlikely friendship of Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp really begins—before Wyatt Earp is the prototype of the square-jawed, fearless lawman; before Doc Holliday is the quintessential frontier gambler; before the gunfight at the O.K. Corral links their names forever in American frontier mythology—when neither man wanted fame or deserved notoriety.

SyFy Orders Booster Gold Script

Booster Gold, who recently made a live-action appearance on the long running CW series Smallville, has just been tapped by SyFy for a solo script. Greg Berlanti (Green Lantern screenwriter) is attached to executive produce alongside Andrew Kreisberg.

According to the Hollywood Reporter:
The story will center on Booster Gold, a washed-up athlete from the future who travels back to the present in hopes of becoming the greatest super hero of all time. Instead of chasing criminals, however, his main priority is chasing fame and money. But Booster Gold discovers that being a hero takes more than just a megawatt smile, and that the future doesn’t happen without first protecting the present.

Two one-sheets which originally debuted at San Diego Comic-Con on display outside the Hard Rock Hotel have made their way online. The upcoming comic book based sequel from Sony Pictures stars Nicolas Cage & Idris Elba is scheduled for theatrical release on February 17th, 2012.

Nicolas Cage returns as Johnny Blaze in Columbia Pictures' and Hyde Park Entertainment's Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. In the successor to the worldwide hit Ghost Rider, Johnny - still struggling with his curse as the devil's bounty hunter - is hiding out in a remote part of Eastern Europe when he is recruited by a secret sect of the church to save a young boy (Fergus Riordan) from the devil (Ciaran Hinds). At first, Johnny is reluctant to embrace the power of the Ghost Rider, but it is the only way to protect the boy - and possibly rid himself of his curse forever.



DC UNIVERSE ONLINE 'Lightning Strikes' DLC Pack Announced

Sony Online Entertainment LLC (SOE) will soon launch its second Downloadable Content (DLC) pack for DC Universe Online with the worldwide release of Lightning Strikes, later this year. Launching simultaneously on the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Windows PC, Lightning Strikes introduces Electricity Powers – the game's eighth power set – and a new adventure starring the iconic speedster The Flash .

"In this DLC pack, fans have the opportunity to immerse themselves in another great character and action-packed story from the DC Universe," said Jens Andersen, Creative Director for DC Universe Online. "With exciting gameplay, a new power set and new locations to share with your friends, we packed a whole new kind of fun into this DLC pack and are eager for our players to dive into another legendary adventure."

In addition to the new Electricity Power set, DC Universe Online players will also be able to interact with The Flash-themed characters and content with new maps and features:
  • Central City – An all-new map that offers players a more open world experience that provides on-going gameplay, with solo and group missions.

  • The Flash Museum Duo – Players can now experience the Central City of today and tomorrow. In The Flash Museum Duo, players can travel back in time to the very moment when Barry Allen became The Flash and battle foes inside the Central City Police Station!

  • Electricity Powers – Players now have the opportunity to get the new Electricity Power set for current and new characters. The new Electricity Power set allows players to leverage the lightning power of electricity and use new types of attacks in combat. Electricity Powers include the Tesla Ball, which creates a floating ball of electricity that zaps nearby enemies; the Shockwave, which shoots streams of electric bolts at enemies; and Ionic Drain, which drains energy from the environment to replenish a player's health while simultaneously damaging surrounding enemies.

  • New Gear – Players can earn all-new gear sets including the new Zoom-inspired gear set for villains, and the new Black Lightning -inspired gear set for heroes.

  • New Characters – Lightning Strikes brings players new iconic DC Universe characters including Livewire, Black Lightning, The Top, The Trickster, Static and more. New characters – such as Livewire – will be featured as new "Inspired By" options for players who can choose to create a new character inspired by some of DC Universe's legendary characters. Additional new characters – such as Black Lighting –serve as a bounty mission that players can fight if they choose to be a villain.

Lightning Strikes offers players a new story-driven adventure that offers up even more of the intense and fast-paced combat that distinguishes DC Universe Online, a game focused on superhero combat set in locations where gamers can showcase over-the-top powers in epic battles. The Flash adds another legendary superhero for players to battle against or alongside on their journey to becoming the next legend.

IMMORTALS Director Tarsem Singh Wants to Bring SAMURAI JACK to the Big Screen

Samurai Jack​ was a highly praised American animated television series created by Genndy Tartakovsky that aired on both Cartoon Network and Toonami between 2001 to 2004. It's most notable aspects were its highly detailed, outline-free, masking-based animation, as well cinematic style and pacing. Story lines, which ranged from dark and epic to light-hearted and comic, followed a time-displaced samurai warrior named Jack in his singular quest to find a method of traveling back home.

In 2009 Samurai Jack reruns were pulled from American television but Tartakovsky promised a film would soon follow. In the years since the property has stayed in development but no real progress has been made.

In a recent interview, Immortals director Tarsem Singh revealed that he would love the opportunity to tackle a Samurai Jack film adaptation: “It’s brilliant. The speed, it embraces where it comes from. I find that comic strip films are halfway grounded. They don’t play my chord. But I love Samurai Jack. I love the animation... Have them contact me."

SHERLOCK HOLMES: A GAME OF SHADOWS Behind-the-Scenes Featurette

Synopsis:
Sherlock Holmes has always been the smartest man in the room…until now. There is a new criminal mastermind at large—Professor Moriarty​—and not only is he Holmes’ intellectual equal, but his capacity for evil, coupled with a complete lack of conscience, may actually give him an advantage over the renowned detective. When the Crown Prince of Austria is found dead, the evidence, as construed by Inspector Lestrade​, points to suicide. But Sherlock Holmes deduces that the prince has been the victim of murder—a murder that is only one piece of a larger and much more portentous puzzle, designed by one Professor Moriarty.

Mixing business with pleasure, Holmes tracks the clues to an underground gentlemen’s club, where he and his brother, Mycroft Holmes​ are toasting Dr. Watson​ on his last night of bachelorhood. It is there that Holmes encounters Sim, a Gypsy fortune teller, who sees more than she is telling and whose unwitting involvement in the prince’s murder makes her the killer’s next target. Holmes barely manages to save her life and, in return, she reluctantly agrees to help him. The investigation becomes ever more dangerous as it leads Holmes, Watson and Sim across the continent, from England to France to Germany and finally to Switzerland. But the cunning Moriarty is always one step ahead as he spins a web of death and destruction—all part of a greater plan that, if he succeeds, will change the course of history.
Sherlock Holmes:Game of Shadows is scheduled for release on December 16th, 2011.
