1 -Wipe-out Fusion is said to release this month. It might get pushed to 1st week of April.... I don't know the exact date of it (so cross those fingers) but I have had a chance to play it and it was... Well... very... very.... very... fast. So fast it was almost unplayable at times. The game looks like an absolute dream and it is definitely going to be the big PSN draw.

2 - Motor storm 2 is 100% confirmed this week. We saw it here and it's amazing what they've managed to do to tweak the bikes! Love it & you will too. Trust me. The track we saw was a Sand dune pit run, complete with fully animated crowds who literally rioted and rocked and waved and just actually looked alive...

The lighting, as I said before, is vastly improved and it just looked more fun to play. Fighting, alah, road rash is pretty much a given in this one too. We didn't see out and out brawls & they didn't wanna come off it and say "hey, we remember RoadRash did this and so we're going to do it too" but it's a given... Look for Motorstrom 2 to make some pretty big waves, folks.

3 -Tekken 6 is, unfortunately, going to be hitting the xbox 360... Though it'll be denied until the Ps3 version is released as a timed exclusive.

4 - The Getaway was recently re-announced... I know. Didn't I tell you it was still in the works? Didn't so many people over at that one site try to deny me? Try to tell me I was full of it? Well, how quickly we forget who says what around these parts, huh?

Getaway is using some incredible tech, folks. That much I know. It's going to bend the reality factor within an eyelash of gamings face if they can pull off some of the stuff they're working on here.

Namely swap swagger, the actual communication you will use in game being yourself with full lip synching to each player... It's mind blowing what was shown. Mind blowing.

5 - R*'s, now project titled and pretty bad ass sound game NOOSE, is absolutely incredible. It was a show stopper and that's that. I kept going back to look at the loop of it, if that says anything at all.

6 - Siren 3 is on the way, yes. I don't know the release but it is definitely set for the U.S. this time out too.

7 - Expect an ICO or SOTC PSP port in some form to be announced pretty damn soon. I'm thinking more along the lines of those PSN PS2 DL's I made mention of way back when, though. We'll see... I'm pretty positive the new game TEAM ICO is working on is just the Ps3 game, Endless Abyss I've been on and on about

8 - Legend of Dragoon 2 will be announced either at E3 or before

9- There is some news coming in the next 4 to 6 weeks regarding the PS3's price and also on the hardware side of things

10- As for Naughtydog's next game... You might be surprised to find out that it's in fact a collaboration of sorts. You might even be more surprised to find out it'll be out this year & has been worked on for sometime now

I didn't provide links for these rumors because some of them are really just pure speculation, and thus a link to a speculator wouldn't do anybody any good...

Sounds good. I know that the Motorstorm 2 NDA embargo is lifted this Wednesday, so it will be great to see how it is shaping up. I really want the Team ICO news to be true.

I'd also like to take a minute to troll the 360 by saying that Tekken 6 + the 360 d-pad = worst idea ever. :P I kid because I care.

Nice! I've always wanted to switch to a fighting stick, but I'm so used to playing Tekken with a controller.

Great news about Motorstorm 2. The first Motorstorm, despite its hiccups, is hands down my favorite racer. The 2D bystanders were the visual Achille's heel of MS1, so its nice that its being addressed in the sequel. I can't wait to see the new vehicles. Motorstorm's designers do an incredible job designing vehicles.

I owned the original Getaway and while it was powered by some nice tech and the story was pretty cool, as a game it was an utter failure, something I undestand neither its two sequels (on the PS2 and PSP) changed so while its nice to hear the technology is impressive, I can't get excited until it becomes clear that there is a quality game behind the tech.

I hope I get my PS3 back from the shop before Wipeout HD hits.
