""Online sharing of user-generated content is one of the greatest innovations that this round of gaming hardware has brought to the industry. And though LittleBigPlanet tends to recieve the brunt of that credit, many other titles have followed in its footsteps, allowing players to build content and share it with their friends on PSN and Xbox Live. Cuboid is the latest title to recieve a level editor, and we’re proud to say that it is well worth the cash.""

After some thorough investigating and research (as well as an anonymous tip) PlayStation LifeStyle has come to the conclusion that PlayStation Cloud is most likely a downloadable music service. After all, Sony has been in talks with major recording companies about bringing music to the PlayStation Network, a move that would give iTunes and Amazon formidable competition.

"Infamous is as much about the human condition as it is about science fiction (and you thought you were just playing a videogame). This latest game from developer Sucker Punch is a lot more than typical action genre fare. Aside from the explosions, the violence, and the extreme circumstances, inFamous is a game which plays on the frailty of human beings and exposes our truest nature in the face of adversity."

While not as blunt or harsh as Activision's Bobby Kotick's statement, Tecmo Koei's new CEO, Kenji Matsubara, has also expressed that he would like to see a PS3 price cut; however, he has taken into account the fact that it might not be viable for Sony.

"Apparently, Last Rebellion *is* coming out this year, but not in North America. Nippon Ichi Software officially announced the game for Japan and slated their first 3D RPG for 2009.

Last Rebellion is developed by Hit Maker, the same studio behind Blade Dancer and A Witch’s Tale. In the game you control two characters Nine, a swordsman, and Aisha, a magic using “sealer” that share a body and a HP meter.

This batch of screenshots gives us a better look at the battle system which sho..."

A new episode of The Bender for the Fourth of July (even though it has nothing to do with the holiday). We talk a bit on that Transformers movie, we pay our respects to the pitch man Billy Mays, Allison goes on about The Conduit, James talks crap about Old Wizard, and Mike gives out a lot of good torrent sites. Listen live/stream through iTunes or download the mp3 here, enjoy!

Midway Games, the makers of popular coin-op arcade games in the 80s and 90s was looking to get acquired by Warner Brothers. However after the deal turned south it appears the developer is following modern trends and asking for a government bailout. [Satire]

"The Beatles are arguably the greatest rock band of all time. With countless #1 singles and a world-wide following, there is no limit as to how many songs should be in the new The Beatles: Rock Band."

Console bundles are usually a hit-or-miss. Sometimes they might come with one game you want, but mostly they come with crappy games that stores just want to get rid of. So it's always nice when a console bundle is this awesome...

"Looking at the release list for this year, you can see a trend on trying to squeeze as much out of an IP as developers/publishers can get out of it. While we do get games that some gamers might not want a sequel to (the outcry of Bioshock fans comes to mind) there are many games we would like to see the story continue for but still haven’t gotten. some of The staff collaborated and came up with their top three games they would like to see sequels made for."

"The Number One fighting title is back as Street Fighter IV PC launches at European retail today. The critically acclaimed Street Fighter IV launched in February for the Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3 (PS3) and this latest PC instalment of the title brings with it all the content from the Current-Generation console versions plus some exclusive features."

"Infinity Ward is arguably the king of first person shooters. After producing the stunning Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, they are hard at work getting there latest game, Modern Warfare 2 ready for release in November."

I'm sure everyone must remember Yahtzee's review of both [PROTOTYPE] and inFAMOUS, right? Right?? Sure you have! And I'm sure everyone remembers Yahtzee's challenge at the end of his inFAMOUS review, that both games were awesome and it was a tie as to which was better. Therefore the winner would go to the one who sent him the best picture of the other game's main character in a woman's bra.

Well I certainly didn't expect these devs to actually answer such a challenge . . . did you? They d...

Gunstar Heroes came out on the Playstation Store of the Playstation 3 on June 11th. Although the port of the Sega Genesis classic game included online cooperative play, that feature was broken. Unfortunately, Sega may not release a patch to fix the problem.

"Fight Night Round 4 seems to have taken this task in its stride, making all others who have isolated either their followers or those treading the water appear ignorant in their disposition. There will always be those who would prefer pressing a button to the initially imprecise nature of the Right Analogue stick, but this audience is already well catered for with Street Fighter IV, Soul Calibur IV and the forthcoming Tekken 6. To those looking at Fight Night Round 4 for an authentic Boxing si..."

Doug Lombardi, the same guy from Valve who told us that Valve won't develop for the PS3 because of the confusing architecture seems to have changed his mind. Yesterday, at the Left 4 Dead 2 event in London, he told his interviewers that Valve is currently looking for talented people that know how to program using the PS3's code.


Left 4 Dead 3 on all 3 systems?

"There were rumors recently that Microsoft would be releasing a new Xbox bundled with Natal as their new controller. These rumors were quickly quashed, but I think that is rather unfortunate as I believe Natal is unlikely to succeed otherwise. In fact, I am pessimistic about all three of the new motion peripherals."

""I would expect that there would be two more pieces of downloadable content for GTA IV, that's what has been indicated to me, although formats are unsure. It's been indicated to me to me that would be the case," said Mitchell, of Kaufman Bros. Equity Research.

Mitchell also stated that he's expecting Grand Theft Auto V to be released in the 2011 financial year, and there's also the possibility of a new GTA title for the PlayStation 2 next year.
