"In roughly three weeks since its release, the action-adventure video game “The Last of Us” has sold over 3.4 million copies, a feat that surely pleases game developer Naughty Dog. An impressive number given the short time frame and the fact that it’s a PS3 exclusive title. Said Sony Entertainment President Shuhei Yoshida in an official statement, “These sales figures are a testament to the blockbuster quality of ‘The Last of Us.'” He continued, “The teams at Naughty Dog are true visionaries and their storytelling capabilities are second to none, this title is an undisputed demonstration of that. SCE continues to be committed to delivering unique gameplay experiences that redefine the interactive entertainment industry and ‘The Last of Us’ is a perfect example.”"
"There are always a number of things people worry about when it comes to a PC game hitting consoles, but from what has been shown off thus far, “Diablo III” is looking like it will be setting up quite nicely for the PlayStation 3.In an exclusive look at the upcoming game “Diablo III,” we saw how things are translating over to the PlayStation 3.Controls that we were able to get hands-on time with seem to reveal a nice translation from what people have experienced on PC. Things made sense and the scheme wasn’t hard to figure out."
"With talent like comic book artist Mike Choi and award-winning science fiction author John Scalzi attached to it, an interactive comic book tie-in for upcoming mobile shooter “Morning Star” was a no-brainer. But “Morning Star Alpha” is much more than a game supplement — it’s a fresh new idea that every game with a rich fiction should steal.We’ve not seen much about “Morning Star” proper since the mobile game was announced back in December of last year. There were brief glimpses of gameplay, some kick-ass concept art by Choi, and a snippet of back story, courtesy of Mr. Scalzi. In February we were introduced to “Morning Star Alpha,” the interactive comic book prequel that tells the story of what happens aboard the MSRV Joplin research vessel as it prepares to embark on the critical mission that picks up in “Morning Star.”"
