PS3 Fanboy hands-on: SOCOM Confrontation
This is SOCOM. On the PS3. That’s SOCOM Confrontation, put simply. It’s somewhat strange to think that the team that brought us the incredibly innovative SOCOM Tactical Strike (PSP) is bringing us a game that feels so by-the-numbers. But for the hardcore SOCOM community, this is the game they’ve been waiting for. It’s been years [...]
SOCOM headset officially revealed PS3
The Blu-ray retail version of SOCOM Confrontation will include a Bluetooth headset. However, expect something much classier than the one included in the Warhawk bundle so long ago.

Bishojo game White Album coming to PS3

WALL-E Review (Xbox 360)
With the movie’s opening today, expect WALL-E to be a Pixar’s ninth hit in a row. And, though it shouldn’t be any surprise after all these years of seeing bad games-made-from-movies, the interactive version of the film doesn’t come close to matching up.
