Well it’s been a few days since the release of Fallen Star (The Latest Booster Pack for Warhawk) and I must say, there is a great reason it’s taken me a few days to write about it. The introduction of Jet-Packs is amazing feature for the game. One of the key reasons it has finally added a feature I personally felt the game was missing from the start. The ability to bail out of a flying Warhawk, whether you’re the pilot or a passenger.

The new map is also a welcomed site to sore eyes. Not nearly as large as Omega Dawn (Thank goodness) and no where near as bright as Broken Mirror. In the middle of the map, it appears that there is a giant space ship that has fell from the sky (Hence Fallen Star, eh.. eh?), which I can only assume is one of the ships that were meant to be in the single player campaign the game was originally going to have.

As of Wednesday, the new 1.4 patch for Warhawk was released. Why it didn’t contain the new trophy patch (That will be the 1.5 patch that should be out “soon”), but instead it contained two very nice new game modes.

So it seems that as soon as I make one claim, someone has to go and show me up.  Almost as if someone was actually taking my rants seriously (Although it’s ok, I know it’s not true)

So I gave myself a day to think about this one before the rant begun. When I first heard the news that Microsoft managed to get their hands on FF XIII, I didn’t have the enjoyable sweet taste in my mouth that so many others had during that moment.

Well it only took nearly two years for Sony to bring this feature to the Playstation 3, but they finally did it. As of midnight, I was able to download and install the new 2.40 firmware update. So now, I’m off to play some Super Stardust HD so I can check out these new trohpies.

Once again we have a little walk through of the new 2.40 feature, but now you can see how the Trophy system will work.

Not exactly as I invisioned, but I think it will do.  Something they can always improve on right? I’m not going to be one of those people that say they’ve been wanting it, but then complain cause it’s not exactly what I want. I’m thrilled Sony is finally taking care of their users. I mean… later is better then never, right?

Well here we have it, a nice short little video detailing the new in game XMB for the Playstation 3. After watching it, I think I’m fairly satisfied. I mean, it’s only been over a year since I first brought my Playstation 3 home, and been anxiously waiting for this feature.

I won’t rant about what I like and don’t like, I’ll wait till they bring out all the videos for 2.40 before I cast my judgement. So far though, I approve.

With the final chapter of the Metal Gear Solid Saga staring a ripe old Solid Snake, be prepared for tons of back history and linking things together in order to bring the whole story/series together.  By this point of time, any Metal Gear Solid fan will have already bought the game, and more than likely beaten it. So what’s the point of even writing a review in the first place? Easy, for the fun of it, and for the few of you out there that have been holding off on getting their PS3 and have been debating due to the MGS4: Bundle. (I’m looking at you Mike K.!)

Well it’s finally been officially announced, when the day comes you turn on your PS3 and see that Firmware 2.4 is ready to download, you will be greeted with in game XMB and the mythical trophies that have haunted the internet concerning Playstation 3. What are trophies exactly? There hasn’t really been a full blown story on them other than they will be a 3D item you can show off to people (Supposedly once Home comes out), but exactly how you obtain them hasn’t been released. The guess is something similar to the 360’s achievement system. Guess we’ll find out once it’s released.

As for now, if you load up your PS3 (and haven’t done so before reading this post) you will be greeted with the 2.36 Firmware update which:

“…improving system stability when playing select PlayStation format software titles.”

So there you have it for those of you that believed in game XMB was like the cake.

I just saw this link, thought with Metal Gear Solid 4 coming out, this might be a good deal for anyone interesting in getting a PS3 and hasn’t yet.
