[font=arial, sans-serif]Certain PS3 and VITA games to support cross-platform games[/font]
[font=arial, sans-serif]When Sony's new console releases across the globe on the 22nd of February, it has been made known by Sony that certain games like [/font]MotorStorm RC, Hustle Kings, Top Darts, WipEout HD and HD Fury DLC for WipEout 2048 and Capcom's, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 DLC on the PlayStation Store will be playable on both the PS VITA and the PS3 for the price of one.
This is a good move y Sony as they had earlier announced that players will be matched up to each other in the above games in the multiplayer, whether they played on either consoles.

In my opinion, this is a very good move by Sony, because if anyone had already bought the above games on the PS3, they do not need to rebuy it.

LA Noire 2 a possibility according to Rockstar
Rockstar has made everyone know that a sequel to the 2011 game is still a possibility.
When Team Bondi, the studio which made LA Noire last year were closed last year by Rockstar, everyone (including me) had suspected that that was the end to that game series, but now that might not be true.
On a new Q&A on their Official Website site they have said :

Sony Boss would be Distracted by PS4 announcement in 2012
Sony America's president Jack Tretton doesn't want to make a Playstation 4 announcement this year. He said "I, quite frankly, would be very distracted if I had to be talking about next generation hardware this year."
He was also quoted by IGN, saying :
By the way, this almost means a PS4 announcement in 2013!

Screenshot comparison of Alan wake : 360 vs. PC
Alan Wake released this past week. It had earlier come out for the 360 exclusively on the 14th of May, 2010. Two years have gone by and now the game is now out on PC, and it looks Glorious!
Please visit here (http://www.pcgamer.c...ison-360-vs-pc/) to realise why PC Gaming is so much better! If you have already completed this game once on the 360, this is definitely a new reason for you to play it once more on the better platform, with beautiful visuals.

EA : Give us "18 to 2 years" to make Origin good
There's a saying which says that Rome wasn't built in a day. It now seems like EA COO Peter Moore has turned that into years.
In a recent talk with Kotaku, Moore said that "If you go back and dust off the transcripts of when Steam first came out, it had the same reaction. People didn't like it.They provided, over the years –- to Gabe and the team's credit –- value to the gamer. Those first 12 months were very rocky."
He also went on to defend origin and said that "It got off to a rocky start for all the wrong reasons which were mostly inaccurate: accusations of spyware. The EULA… We were clearly focused on by some folks who said, 'We don't like this. How can we start picking things apart?' It's quieted down. I don't think you see the initial level of vitriol.It's one of those things where I would ask give us 18 months to two years. And if we sit here two years from now, start looking at it then."
I personally am not a huge fan of Origin as of right now, but I definitely feel that everything should be given a chance. And I'm sure better discount's would surely help!
