Uh-oh. Looks like FW 3.0 just made Uncharted a bit more unchartable. Reports are coming in of freezing complaints on the game, ever since they updated to the newest firmware update from Sony.

Craving for more information on the PS3's resident treasure hunter? Then you're in luck cos we've just hit the goldmine with a plethora of new information on Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. We've recently reported on the news that the mag has dedicated a ten-page spread for the game,and now we know what's in it.

Twisted Metal fans are in for a treat today, as we have new info regarding the Twisted Metal series.

David Jaffe recently confirmed the contents of a hidden message found in Twisted Metal Head On: Extra Twisted Edition, and that message was the future release of a Twisted Metal game for the PS3. More on this after the jump!

A release schedule of what seems to be the March DLC lineup for Harmonix and MTV Games' Rock Band (Xbox 360, PS3, PS2) has surfaced. We're tagging this one as a rumor for now, but the lineup - which includes songs from artists like Bad Company, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Evile and Nine Inch Nails - sure does look interesting. Check out the full article for the details.

According to Kouli, a member of the Gamefaqs Boards, Square Enix is indeed making a Final Fantasy VII remake. Proof of this can be found in a secret trailer video at the end of PSP game Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII. We know, and maybe Kouli knows as well, that this is something hard to believe but he has got some screenshots for the naysayers.

The forum member said that one has to finish the game twice and after the credits has finished rolling, the secret cinematic will begin to play. It was also said that the video is quite similar to the one shown at E3 2005 in the Final Fantasy PlayStation 3 Tech Demo.

It is uncertain, however, if the rumored Final Fantasy VII remake will be released on the PlayStation 3 or PlayStation Portable. Both Square Enix and Sony has yet to comment on the matter. Until they do, we're putting this one for now in our rumor basket.

Late last month, rumors of Sly Cooper moving on to the next gen arena graced QJ.NET. Understandably, this excited a lot of Sly Cooper fans, especially since the rumor also mentioned that the titles would be officially revealed at this year's E3. The bad news is that apparently the whole thing isn't true.

According to IGN, both Sony and the U.S. branch of PlayStation Magazine (PSM) have dismissed the rumor as false. The rumor started out as a forum post on GameFAQs that allegedly had snippets off a Sucker Punch interview in PSM. IGN contacted PSM editor-in-chief Rob Smith about the rumor, but Smith said that no such interview appeared on PSM.

Sony Computer Entertainment PR manager Jennifer Clark, meanwhile, added that "there have been no announcements made in regards to future Sly Cooper products and there are no plans for the franchise to appear at this year's E3. Any information that has recently been reported is pure rumor and speculation."

Sucker Punch has not yet commented on the issue, but it has been confirmed that the company is working on at least one project for next gen consoles.

Over the course of a few months, we've learned a lot about the upcoming hit Grand Theft Auto 4 from Rockstar North for the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 (PS3), from gameplay to release date and even a glimpse of the title's plot. However, the ones below seem like the biggest yet.

Before the juicy part though, we have to warn you that we just raised two of our biggest and reddest flags that stand for "Rumor Alert" and "Spoilers Ahead". It's up to you if you want to continue reading or not. With all that jazz said and done, here goes...

According to poster Jadex9 from the GameFAQS boards, the main character of GTA IV is not actually Nikko Bellic but his cousin Roman Petronov. Petronov went to Liberty after having problems with the paramilitary/Mafioso hybrid wing in Estonia. He then invited Bellic to ask for help with his problems with shady characters trying to get into his Taxi-Firm Roman works on a co-operator term.

To be able to familiarize yourself in the game, a couple of prologue missions will be available at the start. These are where you'll play as Nikko Bellic. Before the prologue ends, Nikko goes to his cousin's associate, Mosha, to recover drug money from one of the gangs in Liberty known as Carta Once (Card 11). This gang is based from the Columbian Cartels in GTA III and real-life gang MS-13.

Whether you like it or not, Nikko Bellic will die during this encounter. On the other hand, Roman Petronov will feel guilt and grief because of these events and will eventually turn into a criminal and a "working man". If it turns out to be true, the background story is actually gripping.

And if you really want to know more, here are other spoilers provided by poster Jadex9:

• There are three helicopters in the game (all respawn): one police cruiser, one for the Liberty Tree News paper which also became news channel WILC, and one that's owned by a person you'll be working with for most of the game.
• Bikes are out, but six motorcycle types are in.
• C-11 will be a HUGE enemy in the game.
• The Russian and Italian Mafias are at war and you'll get to do missions for both.
• Maibatsu has become a major player in Liberty City, and Monstrositys are the norm in upper-middle class areas.
• You will be mugged/lacked/lumped/begged for money/held-up/car jacked and possibly initiated into three different gangs, where you will be able to climb the ranks, through their own set of missions.

Believe all these. Or don't believe any of them. It's really up to you how you're all going to take these "discoveries". As for the QJ folks, we find these nothing short of interesting.
