Killzone 3 Multiplayer coming to PSN next week
To keep the addicting Killzone 3 multiplayer alive, Sony is implementing something interesting. Next week the multiplayer version of Killzone 3 will be on PSN for free. Catch is - They will implement a level cap.
Once you hit the level cap, you'll have to pay up in order to unlock the full multiplayer. Again To unlock it, it will only cost you $15. Pretty good deal and a way better than getting the retail version of the game.
To me, this is a win-win. Not only does it prevent servers from being a ghost town, you get to try the best part of Killzone 3 for free, and if you like, go ahead and unlock it. I have Killzone 3, and the multiplayer mode is the saving grace of the game. The singleplayer, not so much. Sony is actually doing us a favor by removing the bad part of Killzone 3 and offering us the best part.
Again this is only for the multiplayer mode of Killzone 3. If you want to explore the single player campaign yourself, you'll have to get yourself a copy of the game.

Pandora's Tower teaser trailer
With this, Operation Rainfall is a success in a very major aspect as we finally get a "trailer" for Pandora's Tower.
Now, while Xenoblade Chronicles will be coming to North America in April and the announcement of The Last Story coming to the US this year, Europe will get the first taste. Still, if Pandora's Tower doesn't get a US release, at least the game has an English iteration and that is surely better than having it in Japanese only.
This isn't really a trailer nor would I call it a real teaser but the video shows what looks to be the collector's edition of Pandora's Tower. Pretty standard fare, steelbook case, a copy of the game, and a dinky art books. Very similar to The Last Story's CE with the exception of the game's OST being included.
Alright Wii owners, we got what we wanted. Rejoice!

Borderlands 2 dated, out on September 18 in North America and September 21 for the rest
After the reveal of Borderlands 2, Gearbox has gone silent with the sequel. Now they lifted the curtains and revealed tons of information with just one trailer. The video gives us a look at the new and improved Pandora, all new playable characters, more guns to loot, and most important of all, a release date.
The sequel will bring a new set of skill trees, playable characters, and a bigger variety of guns to loot. The game of course can still be played as a 4 player coop, so is split screen. The old characters from the first game as you can see make an appearance but now as NPC's.
They also mentioned bonuses if you pre-order the game. Pre-ordering will earn you the Gearbox Gun Pack, a Golden Key and the Vault Hunter’s Relic.
I played Borderlands recently with friends to finally finish all the DLC's of the game. We knocked out everything but claptrap's revolution. Thanks to the trailer, I'm hyped again to hop back into it and take on the last DLC.
