We’ve been hearing rumors for a while about Sony bringing more PS2 classics to the PS3 with HD overhauls like they did for the first two God of War games. Turns out it wasn’t hogwash.

First up will be a three-in-one bundle featuring all of the Sly Cooper titles. If there’s any doubt that there will be more HD updates such as this, consider the box art, which features a “Classics HD” logo. This would seem to indicate Sony’s branding of a new line of similar HD updates of over PS2 titles.

To throw more fuel on the fire, Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios head honcho Shuhei Yoshida told the folks at IGN that Sony is definitely going to continue releasing more HD updates, but didn’t specify other titles. Based on information from recent Sony surveys making their way across the Net, one would have to assume Ico and Shadow of the Colossus are being considered.

I’d love to plow through both of the aforementioned titles again in glorious HD, especially for trophies. What PS2 games would you folks like to see get an HD makeover?

While I soaked up the sun at Myrtle Beach this week, the annual Electronic Entertainment Expo kicked off in Los Angeles, revealing lots of gaming goodies to the masses. You’re probably well aware of the big ones, but some announcements may have slipped through the cracks. Here’s a brief rundown of the E3 info that you may want—or even need—to know. (more…)

The dudes over at ScrawFX found what appears to be a teaser for an inFAMOUS 2 reveal due in next month’s issue of Portugal’s version of PlayStation: The Official Magazine. If you follow the link above, you’ll see an image from the original inFAMOUS of protagonist Cole McGrath’s eyes above a message that, when translated, states: “The announcement of a great PlayStation 3 exclusive sequel in the next ROPS.” (ROPS, by the way, is the Portuguese abbreviation for PlayStation: The Official Magazine.)

Call it a leap if you will, but I think it’s pretty obvious what sequel they’re talking about. Why specifically use an obvious image from inFAMOUS if they’re not going to reveal a forthcoming sequel? I don’t think anyone will be surprised to hear of a sequel in the works. In fact, most—including me—will be excited to know they get to step into Cole’s shoes again.

According to a recent post at IGN, an Uncharted movie is getting closer to a reality.  By the sounds of the post, the seems to be in final stages and Sony is looking for someone to direct the movie.  As long as it is not Uwe Boll directing, I think this has a chance to be a decent movie (as far as game movies go).  Now the question for you all.  Who would you like to see play the main characters?

UPDATE:

This is a formal apology to Drew.  Jeff pointed out to me that it was him that wrote the article.  Upon looking at the author of the title, I see that it was Jeff that wrote the article.  Sorry Drew.  I have therefore removed all references to Drew. 

P.S.  You need to fix the forum posts on these articles.  It looks like Drew wrote them.

I was going to post this yesterday but did not have time.  Good thing.  Looks like Jeff has gone and trashed Heavy Rain and mocked the people who bought it.  I guess I will have to disagree with Jeff on this one.

When Nintendo Power announced the upcoming Mega Man 10 for WiiWare, they neglected to mention that the retro 8-bit sequel will also grace Xbox Live and PlayStation Network. Makes sense, given that it is a Nintendo publication.

Anyhoo, I just thought you XBL and PSN folks would like to know. If you’re hankering for more punishing old-school gameplay that makes Demon’s Souls look like a Disney game, but you don’t have a Wii, Capcom still has you covered. Capcom has plenty of Sheep Man to go around.

Sony’s new Comic Store addition to the PlayStation Store begins today. Fitting start date, given that Wednesday is the official new comics day in the U.S. The service goes live in the States at noon PST—that’s 3 PM for all the East Coast kids. Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Ireland can get their comic bookin’ on starting at 5 PM GMT.

Marvel, IDW, 2000AD, and Disney will all have comics online and ready for download to your PSP or PSPgo. Strangely absent is DC Comics, who is working on a MMO with Sony as I type this. You can get your Spider-Man and Hulk fix, kids, but forget about Batman for the time being.

For future updates, be sure to keep track of the PlayStation Comic Store via Twitter. If any significant changes are made in the future—such as the addition of DC Comics—we’ll let you know.
