I came across DC Universe on my PS3 while looking around for some new stuff and it took forever to download and install (and update etc). You can also download and play this for free on Windows, not 100% sure if they are the same servers. The game is a 3rd person viewpoint and you get to choose Male or Female, Good or bad and various skill types to start the game with.

Valve makes Team Fortress 2 Free
Online games portal Steam has bolstered its selection of free games by adding one of its own-brand titles to the pot: the hectic, caricatured first-person shooter Team Fortress 2. It used to be part of the Orange Pack for example and it features cartoon like graphics plus team play. The way they will make money is to have micro payments in the game itself and you can buy extra guns, costumes and so forth. Head over to Steam to grab this or you can get a complete list of Free steam games HERE.
Three New PS3 Games
While I was out and about I went into HMV for some headphones as it goes and while I could not find a decent pair of headphones, I did manage to see a whole range of bargains in the PS3 Section. Some of the prices of the games were about the same I had seen elsewhere but some were so cheap it was almost silly not to buy them. I saw EyePet which included the PS3 Camera for a steal at £10, now I already own the Webcam and have no great need to buy this Eyepet thing, as it is aimed at kids. The other Bargain I saw was at another store with Socom 4 which came in at £15 and this included the Bluetooth Headset.
Playstation Network Finally comes back online
Time to rejoice PS3 people because finally Sony have started to flip the switches around the world and they are finally the PSN to live once again. The first part was to download a firmware update (3.61) and then when I got the word, logged onto PSN vis the PS3. It asked me to change my password – which makes sense as the hackers have them all now and once that was complete, I was back online. Nothing showed up yet in the way of a “sorry we had the PSN down so long” bonus that I heard about but I am sure it will come out soon.
Still no Sign of Playstation Network
It is now the 8th May 2011 and although Sony have been making noises about offering a free Month of PSN+ service, a free game of some sort and other such good things, In the UK nothing has been heard and still no news of getting the service back. I have heard of people selling there PS3 and buying an XBOX360 and saying they will never buy a Sony product ever again and if you do not, then you must be a fan boy or something. I want to set the record straight from my own viewpoint of this whole PS3 debates.
Sony Finally come clean about lack of PSN Network
For some time now the Sony Playstation Network which is the backbone of playing online and getting software was down with little word from Sony other than “We are fixing it”. I had already told my friend at work who had bought many songs via his credit card to seek to replace that card as soon as possible as the data may have been compromised. Upon checking yesterday from the Playstation Blog, they released a statement:
Burnout Paradise Ultimate Box Serial Problem
I thought I would buy some games for the PC for a change and whist out and about yesterday, I spotted a few games which might tickle my fancy, these been Burnout Paradise Ultimate Box, Kane & Lynch 2 Dog Days and finally Brothers in Arms Hell’s Highway. I installed Burnout Paradise which installed also the EA Download Manager and finally when I ran the game, it told me there was an update. Once I got into the game, it asked me a EA Login to allow me to play on-line, once logged in it told me that the Serial key was Invalid and close the program down back to the desktop. After much searching on Google – I finally worked out why this was happening there si a story with this.
Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days
Today I shall do a review of a Playstation 3 title called Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days – I bought this for a very cheap price of £9 at Game and this was the Limited Edition title which includes extra on-line maps and items. By Sheer chance I saw the PC version also on sale for £5 but I left this as I really only need it on one format. It is billed as a Shooter but it steers away from the normal FPS type games in that going in all guns blazing will not get you very far. I would like to describe this as a “Hide and shoot” type game as you fight from cover to cover to complete each part of the game.
