Well, here’s another short story. I had a good time writing this one; I like the idea, and the end product is close to what I imagined. First off, thanks to the person who edited this (You know who you are 
), and thanks to all of you for waiting patiently.
And so, I give you Paper, a Ray Bradbury-inspired short story, by me. Enjoy! Read the rest of this entry »
You finish Fallout 3. Watching those credits roll, you decide halfway through that you’re going to go and do a couple more side-quests before you turn in. If you’re a 360 (or PC) owner, no problem! The DLC provides you with many more hours of tromping through post-apocalyptic DC, so go right ahead! Wait, you’ve got Fallout 3 for the PS3? Oh, well… sorry, but no can do.
Bethesda told MTV’s Multiplayer Blog recently that there aren’t any plans to carry over the ability to continue enjoying Fallout 3 via fan-demanded post-game DLC, which provides additional side-quests/expansions, to the PS3. Quoting the original article:
We got in touch with “Fallout 3″ executive producer Todd Howard for an answer. So, is post-ending adventuring something Bethesda is considering for PS3 players?
“Not at this time, no,” said Howard.
…Why? It doesn’t make sense to show preference to the 360, while shunning the PS3, and vice versa. Both sides have money, and are willing to give it to you if you give them a reason to. This is alienating part of the gaming community, and they are going to remember that in the future. Also, it doesn’t make sense to only partially support one platform, and fully support the others. It makes sense to go at this with an ‘all-or-nothing’ case. Financially, and from the public’s perspective, this is a very illogical move. Sorry, Bethesda, but you better right yourself before this blows up in your face.

Also, Ubisoft’s promising seven new games by April 2010, including Assassin Creed 2. Mario and Sonic at the Winter Olympics has been confirmed by IGN, and have also said that the DSi’s coming to North America by April. Finally, a Wii version of Spore’s been announced.
Well, the Killzone 2 reviews are pouring in, and it’s looking good for the PS3 exclusive. But has the game been overhyped? Sarcastic Gamer thinks so, and its own Rothbart sounds off on overyhyping in general. Also, Sony’s losing big amounts of Yen (or Dollars/Pounds/Seashells, depending where you live), and a list of games to save up your hard earned cash in 2009. All and more after the jump!
