ESRB listings point to a PS2 Classics release.
Two ESRB listings have leaked what appear to be upcoming PlayStation 3 rereleases of Grand Theft Auto 3 and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Neither Rockstar nor listed publisher Sony have announced anything, though this is the second time in 2012 the two games have been listed by the ESRB, following a similar leak back in January.
EA's Total Control mechanics come to Tennis.
Grand Slam Tennis began life exclusively on the Nintendo Wii. While versions were planned for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, they were delayed indefinitely, giving players the choice of only the cartoonish, less realistic version of the game. This year, EA has taken it to a new level with Grand Slam Tennis 2, which offers a much more serious game, complete with a new presentation and control scheme.
Available now for the PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.
Nate McDonald, producer, gives us a brief look at the feature depth available in Grand Slam Tennis 2.
The demo for Grand Slam Tennis 2 is available now for download on the Playstation 3, and Xbox 360.

An ex-Rockstar employee is claiming to know all about the new game.
Someone going by the Twitter handle TorontoJack233 claims to be an ex-employee of Rockstar and posted this picture of what he claims to be the overview map for Grand Theft Auto V. The game takes place in the fictionalized version of Los Angeles called Los Santos and the map shows as such.
Players will return to a Los Angeles-like setting, as featured in San Andreas.
Phone ports and a limited edition action figure.
No one can deny Grand Theft Auto III's place in history. It created the open world genre as we know it and pissed off hundreds of thousands of parents and senators. The previous entries in the series had a similar idea but it was fully realized in a 3D world with this game. Well, believe it or not, the third entry in the series is turning 10 this month.
Nick takes a look at the claims and provides some counter points to the study.
Based on a PR email I just received from the University of Missouri, they have finally proven the link between violent video games and an increase in aggressive behavior. The study performed was a fairly simple one. A group of 70 participating children were each randomly assigned a violent or non-violent video game to play for 25 minutes. Immediately after, each of the participants were given the ability to give an opponent a blast of loud noise. The level of the noise blast was used as a gauge of aggression. As you might expect, the findings have indicated that those who played the violent game were more "aggressive" than those who did not. I don't want to get too in-depth, but I find these claims dubious, to say the least.
