It’s Boxing Day, so obviously the Boxing Day/January sales have hit us!

 

My first stop this fine winter morning was… Amazon.co.uk, where prices have been slashed for 9of 10 bestsellers, including LittleBigPlanet for a healthy £16.49 and Mirror’s Edge for £14.99.

Its still pretty early, so I suggest you get down there for some early bargains (before stock runs out). And, just for you, my faithful (?) readers - here is a quick link:

Anyway… now we’re back to business and our first bit of news is of the upcoming Sci-Fi shooter Killzone 2. The game will be released on February 27th 2009 (yeahh BABY!!). Now the cover. Its pretty much the expected, not offering anything special like the likes of MGS4 or Resistance 2. But I guess it does tyhe job… and it doesn’t look - bad. Does it?? Here it is for you guys to peek at:

We’ve waited - and waited (and waited), for the public release of PS3’s virtual gaming community, Home. They said it would arrive in Fall - and apparently, it still is Fall. Great stuff, but Sony just got there by the skin of her teeth.

It’ll be a free download, as always emphasized by Sony, and hopefully not a huge one (regarding the LARGENESS of the whole project). Ill be back with more details tomorrow.

Sony have planned, like many other companies, to axe great numbers of their workforce - supposedly to save some money. Sony Computer Entertainment, along with every other sector of the well oiled Sony machine will undergo review.

Cuts will end in April 2010, and to be honest, they’re pretty justified. Sony is a major company, a giant in the technology market. If they’re low on funds, they won’t be able to supply demand for today’s techies. Basically, it’s all our fault!

I put off publishing to see if the deal was going to contiunue. I checked today and the price dropped even more!

LittlleBigPlanet is in stock at just under £20 at Amazon, and only weeks after its release. I suggest you get down there and buy it — NOW! Just click the link below to order it. BARGAIN!!!!

Order LittleBigPlanet - ~£20!

UPDATE: The game went scarily up in price (£50!) yesterday, but now is back to £24.71 - still a very good price! Get it now now now.

They’re basically a bunch of PS3 covers (to keep your beautiful glossy black surface from… staining). The thing that makes them special, though, is the range of designs they come in - my favourite being the Scarface and Al-Pacino covers.

All PS3 covers are priced at a pretty much expected £13.00, while the PSP collection, although a lot smaller, are priced at a more reasonable £5.99.

There are also a bunch of price cuts at the moment. The classic Banksy ‘Tesco’ street art piece has been transferred to vinyl for our pleasure and it is now only £11.98. The cheapest I’ve seen during my quick and very excited browse was £9.99, for a Fight Club cover.

If you’re a movie fan, I suggest you get down to Amazon! There are also quite a few music legends (ahem - Jimi Hendrix - ahem).

See the full collection here.

Well, if these leaked nuggest of info are anything special, we can  expect a big price cut for the PS3 - not in December, but in March (yes, March) 2009. The price cut is expected to be pretty significant.

Along with this are plans to take LittleBigPlanet (only £25, by the way - just click on the link!) and Motorstorm to the PSP, a console that has had a lot of overhaul recently, due to its slow and painful near-death experience. The last, and (for me) most exciting piece of not-so-news is that Uncharted 2 is ‘well under way’. Sounds pretty good to me!

So… its been a pretty turbulent day for us PlayStation Heads, and we’re all waiting for some answers from SONY!!!!

(May I note, its known to be rubbish on XBOX as well ;P). As some of us would know, the last ‘NFS:Pro Street’ let us down by taking us of the streets with ridiculous driving. Well I must’ve thought it would’ve got it better, but to be frank, its even worse! Well here’s some more details of the game, or you could check out our little ‘fill me in’ here:

Name: Need For Speed: Undercover

Release Date: 21th November 2008

Price: RRP £47.97

Genre: Racing-Action

Published: EA Games

Score: 6/10 (Nothing Special)

PS Heads Star Rating: ***

Positives:

  • Plenty of thrilling Cop Chases
  • Instantly hit the street races
  • Nice cars come looking for you!

Negatives:

  • Lots of annoying and nagging gameplay issues
  • The Most Wanted version for the PS3 version, and it not been improved upon.
  • Story isn’t so interesting and definitely does ‘get you out of your seat’ - to hop onto the PC.
  • FPS (Frame Rate) renders a nearly unplayable game at times. Too much lag in other words.

Comments:

As I know, this may not even be off-putting for some people who just want to get straight into the action, but to me, I regret it. Overall it got 6/10 so I would conclude it by saying, its an okay game; needs improvements but nevertheless, its okay to play, but nothing special. Its not worth saving up for though, may I add!

And, a little advice from me: You’re better off buying Burnout Paradise for a brilliant £25, to take advantage of all those great updates and patches Criterion are raining on their fans!

Order Need For Speed Undercover - £37.99
Order Burnout Paradise - £24.99
