Another pretty busy week. Surprisingly, though, this week didn’t have as many submissions as last week. For the most part, this week circled around God of War III and the Game Developer Conference, which took place in San Francisco in the later half of the week. The biggest announcement out of the event? The PS3′s motion controller finally got a name in Move, and was on hand for people who attended to try it out, including a SOCOM 4 demo. Darrin also posted a small commentary on the controller, versus the Wii Remote. It’s definitely promising technology, and we’re all hoping that Sony can capitalize on the device and make it a success. Given their past failures of getting add-ons popularized (the HDD in PS2, the Eye and EyeToy, etc), it’s an uphill battle.
Getting back to God of War III, the review embargo had been lifted and the game has received overwhelming positive scores. Trev is working on his own right now, and I’m contemplating doing one myself (who says we can’t have 2 reviews of the same game?). Details of the cost of the game also came through ($44 Million) and a new Kevin Butler ad was released as well. Also be sure to check the launch screens I posted last night if you would like. I’m stoked for this title, and it will be a contender for Game of the Year for sure, but I feel that Red Dead Redemption has a very, very good chance of making that happen, but we’ll see!
Other stuff this week? Fleakitten wrote a review for White Knight Chronicles: International Edition, so be sure to give that a read. Naughty Dog would like to see the Uncharted franchise head to the PSP, and many are suspecting that if this were to happen, the guys who did Daxter would most likely be the ones to do so. There are also plenty of screenshots of games and trailers this week as well, including a few put up just for fun. I definitely advise you to check out the entirety of the recap!
Not a whole lot going on community-wise. There are 3 days left for the giveaway, though, so if you haven’t sent in your ‘lottery tickets’, be sure to do so by Wednesday! Limit is 1000 points, each ticket being 250, so keep that in mind. There’s also a group for Game Night, so to know when we will be online. be sure to join the group and keep track of what’s going on!
This week, we had a total of 44 submissions (which is very good) and 5 QuickNews submissions. Out of all that? Well, here’s this week’s recognitions:

We currently have a group set up in the Community for discussing game nights and the like. You can join the group here. There currently are not any future planned events (there was one for earlier this afternoon, but I missed it myself), but if you’d like to start one, shout it out in the group!
If you have issues loading the graph, right click it and reload the frame. It might take a couple tries, but it will show up eventually.
Well, that’s it for me! Next week may prove to be kind of slow, since the highly anticipated God of War III will be released and a lot of us are most likely going to be spending a lot of time on that (either that, or be out of town for spring break). I will be sure to get my weekly dedications on here for you guys, though (new releases, store update, etc).
Thanks for taking the time to read this and have a good one this week!
