New Uncharted 2 single-player Gameplay (spoiler)

New Uncharted 2 single player footage courtesy of 1UP below.In this level (chapter 11 Keep Moving) you are trying to escape while having to help a guy called Jeff (i think that’s his name) who is wounded, just watching this video had me on the edge of my seat, imagine what it will feel like when you are actually playing it yourself.Enemies seem to come from out of no where which keeps the action following.

From the videos I've seen so far it looks like every level will be different from the last which not many games do well this generation.You have a level where you are chased by a truck, a level on a train, levels in snowy and icy locations, a level with a chopper, this one where you are escaping while having to support a wounded ally, and we still haven’t seen the rest of the levels.Also there will be co op missions this time with up to three friends being able to play together.Plus up to 10 players online in 5 vs 5 Deathmatch, Gold rush and Plunder modes.

Uncharted 2 is shaping up to be a front runner for game of the year, in my mind it’s a game all Playstation owners should buy this Christmas.

                    

Also the video below contains analysis of the above footage but be warned it contains mild spoilers.

                    

PlayStation Store Update (13th August 2009)

So there we go, that's your lot.

Looking forward to taking a peak at the new MGS trailer....

The "Call of Juarez" demo is the update I've been most anticipating though- yet another demo to add to my list....

And for anyone interested, I've been playing loads of demos lately, with plenty more to get through. I'll write an update soon- another list of recommended downloads, with possibly a list of downloads you should avoid (and there are plenty!)

So if anyone has any recommendations for me, feel free to send me a message, Email, comment or Twitter.

Official Borderlands PS3 Box Art

Above is the official PS3 Borderlands box art for the US, but expect the European art to be the same just with different ratings.I think the box art is really nice and different from most other games, and should stand out really well in the stores against the other games coming out this Christmas.

Release dates

(October 20th, 2009 US)

(October 23rd, 2009 Europe)

Batcave Apartment Coming To Home

Platform Exclusive
(ATTN: As confirmed by Sefton Hill of Rocksteady, the Joker will only be playable on the PS3 and will not be playable on the 360 at anytime in the future. It is a permanent PS3-only exclusive. This is due to an exclusive deal that Sony has for the video game.)

PC
There will be Physx implementation for users with nVidia 8800+ graphic cards, or Ageia Physx Cards (if anyone ever bought these before nVidia bought the company).

Xbox 360
None.

PS3
Able to play as The Joker in eight Challenge Map which will be released as downloadable content on August 25th on the PlayStation Network. This DLC will be free.

There will be a "Batman Arkham Asylum Batcave Outpost Apartment". Apparently, this will be only for PlayStation Home. It will contain items such as the Batsuit, Batmobile, and Batwing, along with various Bat-gadgets. This content on PlayStation Home will be free.

The comic book "The Road to Arkham" will be given to PSP owners via download on the PlayStation Network. This comic will be free but will most likely NOT be able to be read by your PS3.

The PlayStation 3 version of Batman: Arkham Asylum will use some elements of SIXAXIS Motion Control.
