WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2010 Cover Art



So what do you think of the cover art? im not a cena fan so for me i would rather see Jericho but Cena is a big money maker for WWE so he needs to be on there, otherwise the other four are spot on Edge, The Undertaker, Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio.

Expect more details on the roster and features over the coming weeks.




Is OnLive the future of gaming?


I have seen and read a lot about OnLive and its promise of cheap, easy gaming on any PC or TV but will it really work? The problem everyone as being going on about lately is how will this work in home's and areas with slow broadband or even no broadband?

so for this reason i cant see Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo worry about OnLive at this stage as OnLive is online the whole time even when playing single player so the problems are lag and the fact some ip's are not unlimited download per month for the people with unlimited this is not a problem but for everyone else this is, OnLive apparently uses about 1.5-5mbps so it can eat up your monthly download limit quickly. Also one of the other problems will be where the servers are placed and if you can play against people from other countries.

Here in the UK homes should have access to broadband and faster download speeds by 2012, the government has said.

One other problem could be the fact most gamers want to have a physical copy of the game they are playing so it may be traded in for other games, OnLive will be a subscribution based service.

So for the time being it seems OnLive wont be able to compete with home consoles and pc's until broadband speeds are increased and in every/most home's.And even then there will be a lot of competition from Gaikai,OTOY and Slingbox plus Sony registered a trademark for cloud gaming called "PS Cloud" the day after OnLive was announced.However, the trademark covers a broad range of possibilities, including online videogames, Internet radio, eletronic magazines, cloud computing, etc. and thus no direct conclusions can be drawn from it. But if this is the future of gaming then Sony,Microsoft and Nintendo will no doubt bring there own version's of OnLive to the market.

Ghostbusters coming to LBP



The PlayStation Blog as now confirmed Ghostbusters is coming to LBP, no other details but could this mean free/paid costumes or even Ghostbusters themed levels? or maybe just some Ghostbusters sticker packs. Hopefully we will see something similar to the MGS packs.



PlayStation 3 Hardware and Software deals


If you are looking for a good deal on hardware or software i highly recommend shopto.net and checking HotUKDeals.

shopto.net are very good price wise and seem to always price match other sites as long as you post a link to the deal in there forum. Also i must say i have never had any problems with them unlike play.com who told me i had to wait 21 days for a refund or another copy of Metal Gear Solid 4 to be sent due to it being lost in the post,shopto send all there games recorded post where as the last time i used play.com they were sending by normal first class post which means no signing for or recorded. Also shopto keep you well informed on status of your order via email or text message or even both. The other great thing about shopto is every game i have ever pre ordered as arrived one or two days before release.

i have used other sites as well like HMV,GAME and ZAVVI but shopto is by far the best site i have used.

HotUKDeals is also a good place to look for deals to, people post the deals they have found as well as any coupons or codes that can be used for online sites or even in store's to.
