PS3 Loses two exclusives, snagged by 360 : After losing GT IV and Assasin's Creed, two more titles slipped from Sony's hands. Fatal Inertia ( gorgeous game ) and Blade Storm : The Hundred Year's War. Also discussed at joystiq.com, which also offers an insight of how this came to be.
Trillian Astra preview : My brother loves this application. I never liked it much, then again I never got to use Windows for long, before switching to Linux and back again -- until I was lucky enough to jump ship to the one true OS.
Metal Gear Solid : Portal Ops Preview : I turned on my PSP yesterday, only to upgrade the firmware to 3.0 and, while I was at it, played Wipeout Pure for a few minutes. It was great fun, however Wipeout pure is the only game that I actually like on the system. I am looking forward to The Legend of Zelda : Plantom Hourglass's for the Nintendo DS - this is going to be the second Nintendo DS game I am going to buy, after New Super Mario Bros. Who can resist Link and his green tunic charm?
Small Arms is now available for download on Xbox Live. A lovely game which I see myself spending quite some time with. Also, the Xbox Live Video Marketplace is open for business. HD-Movies cost $6, SD-Movies $4. HD-TV shows 3$, SD-TV shows $2. Sweet!

Gears of War : Multiplayer / Part 1
Last night, after fighting against my addiction to Gears of War -- because I wanted the batteries on the wireless controller to last just a bit longer, before I get my hands on the play'n'charge adaptor, I thought I 'd try playing GOW online with some folks (team match). Last time I played online was when I got Guild Wars, and even that was for a few minutes. Before that, I played some WoW ( like, 10 minutes in total ) and before that, Diablo on battle.net ( was an amazing experience at the time ). What I got out of the GOW multiplayer match was an incredible experience, AMAZING experience.Coupled with the wireless headset which allows you to voice-chat, being thrown in a city which resembled Rome in a dark, distant future, me and three other guys were fighting against four other folks and it felt so real and so perfect I had to turn off the 360 in order to be able to get back to the world. It is that good. I haven't even scratched the surface of multiplayer (co-op in either split/screen or online (Live), various gaming modes.. etc ). Buy this game. Now.
