The NGP gets a name
Sony's NGP (Next Generation Portable)Apparently people have found the name in the HTML source code of Sony's official E3 website. The successor to the PSP will be named "PS Vita". Vita is an Italian word meaning 'life' or something like that. To me it sounds like an expensive cracker or like a terrace or whatever.
These are still just rumors but if it's real, I'm gonna call it PSV, not PS Vita. Why not just call it PS Life or something? I guess Sony wants it to sound classier while still being completely gay inspired.
Even though it has a stupid name... I still want it.
Playstation Store is back!
The Playstation Store is finally back for us to spend our money on after Sony was hacked back in April and compromised over 1 million user accounts. The Welcome back Package is still not live so don't rush to your PS3's to download your freebies. Sony says the package is on it's final testing stages and will be out soon enough.
For now, head over the PlayStation Blog to see whats new in the Playstation Store. With almost 2 months of being offline, the Store has been updated with loads of new content to browse.
There have been reports though that as you browse through or start downloading content you get error code “80710D36”. Nick Caplin, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) communications boss has issued a statement on the matter, stating, "There are so many of you accessing the store at the moment that due to the excessive load, it is a little slow."
I too have experienced this error just by browsing the Store. it's understandable since millions of players are inside the Playstation Store downloading and buying content.
What's the first thing your going to do when you enter the Playstation Store? me I'm currently trying to redeem my "Naked City" free DLC for L.A Noire but getting the error code “80710D36”. Dammit Sony!
Batman: Arkham City - Catwoman Trailer
Batman: Arkham Asylum was an amazing Batman game(best one even) and I'm sure all of you can't wait to control batman again but this time going around Gotham City. Arkham City will be bigger and better than the first and we also get to control Catwoman in some parts of the game.

Arkham City will be around 40 hours long, 25 hours for the main story and 15 side quests and collectable to gather. Compared to Arkham Asylum, yes it's definitely huge and Catwoman just might be the perfect ice breaker to give something different during this lengthy game. They say Catwoman is only about 10% of the game and i think thats just enough.
Batman: Arkham City will be out on PS3 Xbox 360 and PC on Oct 18.
Red Faction: Armageddon unleashes Mr. Toots!
This is actually pretty hilarious. The Red Faction Armageddon demo is out and is said to unlock Mr. Toots in the full game if the demo reaches 1 million downloads. Well nowadays, 1 million downloads can be achieved easy and thanks to the all those demo players, we get to wield the deadly Mr. Toots after finishing Red Faction Armageddon's Single Player for the first time. Rainbow death!!

The rainbow farting Mr. Toots, is Mars' last hope. Hilarious stuff, but before i was about to release this post i realized where I've seen Mr. Toots first in action. If you know freddiew in youtube, the famous vfx editor with amazing action videos, made a video of Mr. Toots. THQ was kind enough to hand them assets of Mr. Toots for them to use in one of their videos. This is the result below. Go check out freediew's channel, they have amazing videos that you'll enjoy.
