Heavy Rain has been on the radar of many gamers everywhere since the first debut trailer. The work that has gone into this production is incredible but the most amazing portion of this game is knowing that you can die and never come back while the story still continues.

The amount of script being produced in this game puts this in the league of true movie quality representation. The emotion, the graphical detail, and the choices you have to make will show the industry that gaming is the best form of overall entertainment.

The video below will show you that Heavy Rain is a true unveiling of the Playstation 3 power and what the cell processor can pull off.

The PS3 Slim is here and it’s on fire with tremendous momentum. Sony can now be considered not just competition but a threat in the console war considering the high multi-media value your getting inside this system. Now this momentum will carry on throughout the year and beyond but there may be some stumbling blocks ahead because the competition isn’t just going to let Sony destroy them without a fight. Septemeber 1st, starts a full month in motion with the PS3 Slim and the NPD charts as well as worldwide sales, journalist , and TV personalities will be awaiting to see some positive results. Sony is doing great and now they are doing even better but this month they face some stiff competition and the name is HALO 3: ODST.

HALO is a name that needs no introduction and when ODST is released this month with a $199 price tag on the cheapest Xbox360 SKU this will turn heads dramatically. Sony is on a roll but they roll may very well see it’s first hiccup when this game is released. This years E3′09 saw some amazing things but something very important was also revealed and, that’s the fact that HALO 3: ODST was the game that was highest voted by gamers as the game most people are looking forward to this year.

Microsoft is in a great space as opposed to last gen with the xbox 1 because now it’s not only Halo that’s keeping them afloat, it’s the Online, Exclusives, Price, and great marketing that has answered the call for Microsoft. The PS3 Slim will continue to do extremely well but HALO will be Sonys cryptonite for a little while until the following month when the release of the Game Of Show E3′09 Uncharted 2 hits store shelves.

HALO is also a game known to have some serious longevity so this question is for the gamers out there.

The HALO effect how long will it last this time around considering the PS3 is Slim and it’s $299?

A new single-player level for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is available now for Xbox 360 owners through Xbox LIVE Marketplace and for PlayStation 3 owners through the PlayStation Network. The level features The “Secret Apprentice” in a mission that continues the story of The Force Unleashed taking the Star Wars Saga in an entirely new and unexpected direction.

The mission begins at the end of the story of The Force Unleashed and re-imagines the Saga as if the Secret Apprentice had killed Darth Vader and taken his place at the Emperor’s side, becoming the most powerful Sith Lord in the universe. The story picks up as the Emperor sends his new apprentice to the planet Tatooine to dispatch Obi-Wan Kenobi – who has been hiding on the planet ever since the events of Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith. During their hunt for the reclusive Jedi, players will also explore the depths of Jabba the Hutt’s palace and encounter notorious bounty hunter Boba Fett.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed completely re-imagines the scope and scale of the Force and casts players as Darth Vader’s “Secret Apprentice,” unveiling new revelations about the Star Wars galaxy seen through the eyes of a mysterious new character armed with unprecedented powers. Originally released in September 2008, the game quickly became the fastest-selling Star Wars game ever, and has since sold six million units worldwide.
