PixlTalk Episode 38: Zone of the Casuals

Delayed due to some technical difficulties, the latest issue of PixlTalk is finally available!

With the PS3 price drop, Nick, Chessa, Jason, and Nate talk about the effectiveness of the cut and if it will pull in a larger market share for the third place Sony system. This leads very naturally into a discussion on the Microsoft-Sony team up rumor, which also brings up a discussion of the proper resting place of the casual gamer (hint: it's not the Wii).

Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One Hands On Preview

Ratchet's latest adventure looks to be fun FOUR everybody!

Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One brings co-op multiplayer to the beloved Sony franchise for the first time. Many fans were wary of how well it would work, since the series has been firmly rooted in single player action platforming. I can safely assure everyone that the game works extremely well and is a lot of fun, especially with multiple players.

PlayStation TV Hands On Preview

Jason's eyes on impressions of the crazy 3D TV that allows two players to see the entire screen, rather than needing to split the screen.

Straight after the Sony press conference today, I was able to go, hands on - or more accurately - eyes on, with the PlayStation branded 3D TV. The TV as you have already heard is 24" and will be offered at release for $499. It's clear from the set up here, which is strewn with beer cans and looks like a frat house, that the TV will be marketed at college students.

Insomniac returns to the world of Resistance with the third installment in the hit franchise. I only played a little portion of the original Resistance, so bear in my mind I may not know the title or name for everything.
