"With all the excitement going on with PlayStation Day in Europe, we're going to turn your attention to another conference coming up soon. The Nordic Game 2008 conference. It's a little more technical of a conference, but it's still got some great developers giving speeches. Sony's own Fumito Ueda, creator of ICO and Shadow of the Colossus will be taking part in the "Game Creation and Technology" program. This program focuses on new game niches and continuing to innovate creatively."

"Liquid's Hand
From: Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
Sony Skill: Revolver Blast

Why?: Anyone who played Metal Gear Solid remembers how badass Revolver Ocelot was as he shot it up with Snake and twirled his pistols.

"UPDATE #2: Sorry guys, this was a blatant rumor which began at a respectable source, N4G.com. The fact that they started this rumor and flamed it to the masses is disheartening to say the least.

They left it cryptic and vague, so we'll do the same by letting your imaginations run wild. Tomorrow we'll find out, we guess."

"Alex Rowe at TeamIcoGamers claims that a "heated IM discussion" concerning which of this generation’s major hardware players will emerge as the eventual gaming winner, recently led to some blurted information regarding the year’s upcoming software revelations on the PlayStation 3."

"HiddenAway let us know that this month's star letter in the Official PlayStation 2 Magazine (UK) - Issue 91, was written by the mother of a 5-Year old girl who is a massive fan of Shadow of the Colossus.

Her mum imported the soundtrack and even though the track list was all in Japanese, the girl memorized every one of them and can tell which piece of music was used with each colossus."

"So I sent a couple hundreds of e-mails to OPM last month, right? And they've published one of them in this month's issue:

Me: "I have just read the PlayStation Legend page on Ico at the back of OPM, issue nine and can't stop wondering what Fumito Ueda and the rest of the team will come up with on PS3. I'm a big fan of ICO and Shadow of the Colossus, like many others in the PlayStation community, and we're all waiting impatiently for the day when the next game will be announced. It's pretty..."
