Still haven’t played Mass Effect 3? Well, now you can get yourself Shepard’s final adventure — complete with thrilling action sequences, beautiful graphics, memorable characters, and that infamous ending that will inspire you to send death threats to Bioware — for just $30 bucks today.
Sure, God of War 3 was promoted as the “end” to Kratos’ story, but let’s face it: as long as a franchise is profitable, there will always be more games to continue the series (see also: Halo). Today Sony’s Santa Monica Studio released the first teaser trailer for the next entry in the God of War series, Ascension.
Still playing the original Demon’s Souls? Well, From Software’s original brutally difficult RPG is about to get a whole lot lonelier, since Atlus announced that the online servers for the game will finally be taken offline on May 31st.
One massive, boneheaded mistake casts a shadow over Shepard’s final sortie, but overall, the final battle against the Reapers is still a fight worth finishing.
Free to play has worked on PC’s, so why not on consoles? Sony is testing the free to play waters on the PS3 by releasing a stand-alone, free-to-play version of Killzone 3′s multiplayer. Players can play for free until they level up the Sergeant rank, after which you’ll have to decide if continued play is worth ponying $15 for.
Hideo Kojima, creator of the Metal Gear Solid series and prolific tweeter, made an announcement today via his favorite social networking platform that their is indeed another Metal Gear Solid game in development, and that Kojima Productions is currently hiring en-masse as they gear up production on the next title in their flagship franchise. More details will apparently be unveiled at this year’s GDC, but here’s what little we know:

I sat down and played through the whole Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 campaign (because it looks like three, maybe four other people did as well and I kind of wanted to even the playing field) in five and a half hours. The following are my thoughts on the campaign in its entirety.
You remember the Wii Vitality Sensor? The weird little Wii-remote attachment that clipped onto your finger and monitored your pulse and stress level? Nintendo promised that the weird add-on would have “interesting” uses within games, but Nintendo themselves seems to have given up on the idea of “biometric” sensing games in favor of focusing on their upcoming Wii U. Still, despite Nintendo abandoning the idea, Sony seems to think there’s still some merit to the idea.
While I still think PSN’s biggest advantage over Xbox Live comes from the fact that it’s free, Sony has been pretty good about giving out incentives to sign up for their paid subscription service, and right now seems like a good time to sign up for Sony’s shameless cash grab, particularly if you’re a fan of a Resident Evil: all of the PS1 entries in the series will be available for free to PS+ subscribers starting Sept. 20th, and the new HD re-releases of RE4 (best title in the series, in my humble [but correct] opinion,) and Code Veronica will be available for half-price ($9.99) for PS+ members as well.
In semi-related news, Popcap Game’s fantastic Plants vs. Zombies will be available for free to PS+ members as well, in case all those Resident Evil games weren’t enough to sate your zombie addiction. As always, your ability to play any of the “free” games on PS+ will be revoked should you let your subscription expire, but any games you bought at a discount are yours to keep for forever, so the discount on RE4 and Code Veronica alone is worth considering.
Yes! Finally the most debated rumors about Mad Catz have come true. Major League Gaming a.k.a. MLG, is probably well known to most of you. But the company behind MLG, Mad Catz, is now going to change the way you fight in the arena. If you are not so good in fighting games then here is your chance to take up the new range of Electronic Controllers and FightSticks (gone are the days of Joysticks) which Mad Catz has fabricated and tested with the top Pro MLG Players.
