PS3 Price Cut - Image 1Live PlayStation is reporting that the latest issue of PSW Magazine (PlayStation World) of UK is hinting that a PS3 price cut will be announced at this year's upcoming TGS. Maybe this will placate Activision's Bobby Kotick? Another thing to watch out for, said the mag, would be the confirmation of the PS3 Slim. Looks like the TGS is ready to give E3 a run for its money, huh?

360magazine UK: Killzone 2 is quite something - Image 1The 360 magazine posted a highly unusual review on their blog. How unusual? Well... they reviewed PS3-exclusive Killzone 2, and they liked it. What's more, the review says that it's better than Gears of War 2 in some respects.

Now this is what I call anti-fanboyism. Spread the love.

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune - Image 1The Sony PlayStation 3 definitely packs a lot of pixel-crunching power, but without titles, all that muscle under the hood is pretty much going to atrophy. Thankfully, we have companies like Naughty Dog to come up with titles that can truly show what the console can do - one of these being Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. But does it give the PlayStation 3 the workout it deserves, or is it just another walk in the park? Find out in this QJ.NET review.

CoD4 - Image 1Activision and Infinity Ward have finally released Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare to the market and we gave the Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360 and PC versions a quick run-through. From what we've seen, it's safe to say that all of them were equally mind-blowing. If you were skeptical about the merits of bringing the Call of Duty franchise to the new millennium, you'll be amazed at what you'll find here. A late contender for Game of the Year? It may very well be!

Read on to see our in-depth review.

Headplay - Image 1


Growing up cuddling NES and SNES consoles instead of teddy bears meant that becoming a video game journalist was a must for us. Besides, writing for established video game news sources has its own fringe benefits: you get paid to play the latest video games, you get first dibs on the latest technologies related to the industry, and you get the opportunity to rub elbows with the industry geniuses.

The only downside to this setup is you sometimes forget you have a life outside work. Here at QJ.NET for example, it's normal for guys not on duty to linger around and toy with the video games and other related gadgets we have lying around the game room. Take this weekend for instance, a couple of editors with nothing to do decided to just hang around and tinker with the gadgets within reach, which happens to be the PlayStation 3 and the Headplay Personal Cinema System.

The full review awaits after the jump!

Bladestorm: The Hundred Years War - Image 1When Koei promised us one heck of a hack n' slash party and being able to mow through hundreds (even thousands) of enemies in the form of Bladestorm: The Hundred Years War, we just know that we're in for a big surprise. Now that the Bladestorm demo is out on PlayStation Network, we're going to find out what it is we can expect from the game, compared to our own expectations.

The game starts off in the tavern where mercenaries get their contracts from. Surprisingly, the demo already lets players customize their characters...and it's not just merely choosing from an available stock characters, but one can choose to play as a male or female character, and even choose facial features. Of course, players can name their in-game avatar.

The tavern also offers other services and options, like accessing character inventory and status, listening to gossip, and even buy equipment. There's only one piece of equipment available for purchase in the demo, however. It should be noted that in the demo, the System menu is blacked out, preventing players from using the save function in the demo.

Now, customizing characters in a demo and getting access to all of the game's features save the System menu is nothing short of awesome, but why is it that we keep on grinning and laughing amongst ourselves instead of dropping our jaws in awe? Simply put, it's the voice acting. The barkeep's badly-mimicked accent just sounds too strange to be French, and is nothing short of chuckle-worthy. Even the voice of our custom female player has a cute accent as well. But its bearable, though a bit distracting.

In the game, players can choose to play either for the English or the French, then choose any of the available job contracts offered by either army. Contracts generally require taking over a certain stronghold, or base. Once fulfilled, you will be rewarded with equipment and a certain amount of Fame.
