This past Thursday saw the release of a brand new costume pack for Hot Shots Golf 5 (Minna No Golf 5 in Japan).  For 600 Yen (approx. $6 U.S.), you can have 5 new sets for your existing characters. They include a ninja costume that resembles Hayabusa from Ninja Gaiden and DOA fame, two Street Fighter knockoffs resembling Chun Li & Ryu, and finally a Sailor Boy and Baseball Player  costumes.  Each costume has 2 different color schemes to them.  This is the 2nd pack released of costumes in Japan, and I would expect both to be released in the states by the end of the year.

After a 7 year wait from the last Diablo, Diablo II: Lord of Destruction, Diablo 3 was announced today at Blizzards Worldwide Invitational. Hope for another Diablo 3 release was squashed repeatedly when Blizzard North, responsible for the Diablo franchise, lost top developers on June 30, 2003, and again on August 1, 2005 when Blizzard Entertainment announced the closure of Blizzard North. Subtle hints have kept the hope of Diablo fans alive; on Oct 23, 2006 Richard A. Knaak, a novel writer for the Diablo series, told BlizzPlanet "I ain’t writing for a dead game. Read More...

Kratos Is Back: God of War 3 To Be Shown At E3 Ok, so the title may be a little misleading, but that was lifted straight from the english source for this tid bit. It was originally posted on a French site, before you ask. But I guess, Sony either let slip or something at the Interactive & Digital Entertainment Festival that GoW III (that's God of War not Gears of War) will be at this years E3. If this is true, then the release date that Game Stop has been teasing could actually be about right. Depending on what they are going to be showing off at E3, if they do at all. Read More...

Scheduled PLAYSTATION®Network Maintenance Disclaimer: This is speculation from myself and a few others. Consider it a rumor. I hate Spam. Now that that has been said. On the Official Playstation Support page, there was an announcement of the PSN (PlayStation Network) being shut down for maintenance. Not to out of the ordinary, except for the fact that some of the updates people have been waiting and pining for is suppose to be out soon. It is of my opinion that this could be a few server updates to coincide with the new in game XMB (Cross Media Bar). Read More...

Metal Gear Mania The Metal Gear Craze Is Going On Konami seems to be revving up the hype for this game much like Rock star did for the latest GTA. Trailers and ads galore. Some of which kind of cool. This first little set of videos is a bunch of ads. Everything from, what I assume is, an energy drink ad all the way to a trailer complete with the guy who has been smoking way too many cigarettes doing a voice over. That would be the first one. It was awesome. Read More...

Amazon Taking Pre-Orders For God Of War III Being an avid fan of the God of War franchise, I nearly jumped for joy when I saw this on Amazon while shopping for a few books. Yes I read books too. But in any instance. I saw this, as well as a load of other sites, and decided to talk about it here for you. It's pretty much the first "solid" kind of information that has been released. But then again, this could all just be an early thing that they are trying to cash in on from the start. Read More...

What fond memories of Wolfenstein 3-D.  To be that young again and PWNED.com wishes you a Happy 3-D Day!   Players in the game assume the role of an American commando battling Nazis and their supernatural servants.

Siren: New Translation Is Pretty, Horrifying The writers for Kotaku have scrounged up some more images for the new Siren game. A demo of the game was released last week on the Japanese PSN Store. They got it and got some great images of the game and placed them up for all to see. From what I saw and they said, it looks like a killer game. Even though it seems more of a retelling of the PS2 version of the game. But so far, it looks really cool and twisted. Read More...

More PSN Updates So this is more of just a long list for those out there who are interested. Got not too much to talk about here. There are a few things in the next paragraph, but like I said, this one is all about just getting the list out to ya today. The big things I want to talk about is the awesome new Full Album feature that the PS3 users will now be able to play with and get the Judas Priest album for Rock Band. I've talked about it and it is well known here of my love for this game. I really can't wait until I get off work today so I can go home and begin the long down load sequence. Read More...

Earlier this month at THQ's Gamery Day '08 event, THQ debuted three new Saints Row 2 trailers featuring wild man himself, Gary Busey. Each trailer showcases new features in Saints Row 2 and has Uncle Gary bringing you along for the ride. Warning to those not familiar with Gary Busey, he is a great actor, but a freaking nut job. So enjoy the trailers and the antics of Sir Busey. Read More...
