The Weekly Recap (September 26th – October 2nd)
Posted by Jay in Weekly Recap on October 2nd, 2010
Told ya I would get this on here tonight! As for this week’s highlights, there were even more boxset rumors announced, including a Tom Clancy collection and Rayman. There has also been more talk about RDR DLC, as well as the Marshalls being unlocked for multiplayer, the PSN store’s revenues were really high for the month of August, and Uncharted 2 Game of the Year edition has been announced as well.
There are a couple commentary posts by EdEN and Ferginator88. You can check out a video of Guerilla Games talking about Move controls in Killzone 3, as well as a few new trailers, including a long one for the upcoming Castlevania game (it also appears we accidentally posted it twice). We also have a few reviews and impressions posts. Ceidz gave us his impressions on Netflix in Canada, Eddie reviews Space Invaders: Infinity Gene, mairondil reviewed Racquet Sports for the Move and Trev reviewed FIFA 11.
Also, be sure to check out the trailers and video section for videos of a few games, including Call of Duty: Black Ops and more LBP2 Beta videos. Now, hopefully I can keep up with getting these up on Saturday nights again!
Just a heads up, if you live in the San Francisco area, we would love to get you to write for us! Since we’re a smaller community, and based all over the place, we are unable to go to a lot of the events we are often invited to (and many of them are in that area). If you would like to write, it would be great! Plus, you can get into these events for us as well!
This month is also PS3Blog’s Halloween Month. Tosh has invited people to make custom Halloween-themed versions of the top banner that he will change out every other day.
In case you missed it, our big Move giveaway has finished, and the winners were announced (we also had double points leading up to the end of the contest for a couple days). The winners are as follows:
- Adam T
- Skott
- jeliminy
- Emrah
- Televided-God
- UbeRamza
Congratulations to the six of you!

As I said, if you have any ideas, please let us know! I’m going to try to get more serious on getting people to help set some of these up, maybe even try to do a different game scheduled every night or something. GT5 Race Days/Nights are definitely planned, though.
Thanks for taking the time to read a second recap in one day. Trust me, I would have had last week’s up earlier if I had known I hadn’t posted it yet! Check back again next week and see if you might have missed out on anything important!
GOW: Ghosts of Sparta Pre-order exclusive Theme for the PSP
Posted by in God of War Ghost of Sparta, QuickNews on October 2nd, 2010
There is a pretty cool PSP exclusive theme of Kratos with the pre-order of Ghosts of Sparta.
“Reason #3 to Pre-Order God of War: Ghost of Sparta – introducing the exclusive PSP Theme featuring our rage filled Kratos (outfitted within the sleek two-tone Limited Edition Ghost of Sparta PSP)”
Check it out here!!
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game DLC In November
Posted by in QuickNews, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game on October 2nd, 2010
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game will have a DLC next month for only $1.99 on the PSN. It will include two bonus game modes,Battle Royal and Dodgeball, as well as offer a new playable character: Knives Chau.
PS3 Rockband Keyboard Bundle Won’t be Sold in the USA
Harmonix have recently stated that due to “the agreement terms for the region,” the PS3 keyboard bundle will not be available in the US, thought he same keyboard will be available seperately on the PS3. The 360 and Wii however will get the $130 bundle.
This essentially means that PS3 buys will be charged $10 more then 360 and Wii consumers for the same product.
There is no info as to what the agreement actually entailed.
The Weekly Recap (September 19th-25th)
Posted by Jay in Weekly Recap on October 2nd, 2010
Activity slowed down a bit last week (as in the actual last week, since I was a week late on posting this), except the QuickNews section, where Oly and EdEN were in a post war with a bunch of unnecessary articles 
. Who was the victor? They got the same number, so I guess it depends on how you look at it. Anyway, enough of that.
Some of last week’s highlights include the PS Store getting updated on a Monday, end everyone complained because it was very late in the day when it finally did come up because no one is ever completely satisfied. People are having issues with some 2008-model MadCatz controllers (and a number of fake controllers) since the new firmware update.
JCMoorehead talked about Play, Create, Share and how it might influence future gaming. And on that subject, LBP2 has been confirmed to be delayed, as rumors began spreading. Toys R Us has an EyePet Move bundle available (it’s exclusive to them, though). Trev and killburn37 gave us their thoughts on Ghost of Sparta and Sports Champions respectively.
Be sure to check out some of the trailers as well (there’s always a handful of those anyway). Oly posted a bunch of LBP2 beta videos, and they’re definitely worth watching. Trev has also posted an article of a tear-down of the Move controller, so if you’re curious about that, check that out, too.
Alright, so there are a couple new things on the site. For starters, there is a new forum for the PlayStation Move, so all talk of the controller should be in there.
Tosh has also added a timezone feature to your profiles. If you haven’t done so already, there’s a bunch of stuff you can put in there, but most of it’s optional.
Winners for the Move giveaway were announced the other day, and that was about the only contest we had running. I will show the winners list on this week’s recap, though. Hopefully everyone will enjoy their prizes!

There was talk on the last recap of a possible Warhawk game night. If we are to set one up, what would be the best time and day to do so?
Thanks for reading the recap. Yeah, it was another late one, but I’m gonna get started on this week’s today and hopefully have it up tonight, which will be the first time in a while.
