As Heavy Rain's release approached, we talked allot about what Quantic Dream was trying to accomplish. It was clearly a shift from what the vast majority of games are doing. No shooter-type of gameplay or anything that resembles "traditional gameplay" would be allowed.

Some of us were excited. Some of us were unsure. The rest laughed at the idea. So I decided to reach out to Sony and see about getting an interview with the development studio about the very focused idea of storytelling.

Licensed games often have bad reputations for generic, boring gameplay. Does Aliens Vs. Predator fit into this category, or does it break the licensed game curse? Read more to find out!

Mass Effect 2 owners who also have the Cerberus Network downloaded will get some free DLC in late March, according to Bioware's website. Here is what the developer has posted.

"Download the Firewalker pack and gain access to 5 new missions featuring the Hammerhead. The Hammerhead is a heavy assault vehicle that hovers over the battlefield at up to 120 kilometers per hour and features a guided missile system ensuring accuracy even during aggressive maneuvering. Coming late March, free to all Cerberus Network members!"

This week's PSN store update is probably the best so far this year. They have some new demos, including Darksiders and The Eye of Judgment demo for the PSP. Remember that Warhawk is on sale starting today through March 11 for $14.99 and the DLC bundle that includes all 3 DLC packs is also on sale for $9.99. The Capcom game sale featured this week is Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix so if you don't already have it, you may want to pick it up for the low price of $7.49. Make sure you check out The Tester episode 2, and take a look at the new Borderlands DLC and also the new Uncharted 2 DLC. I already made all my purchases so what are you interested in today? Read more for the full details of the PSN store update.

MAG has been out for a month now. So Matt and I decided to talk about what the game can do to keep the party going past some of the big releases coming the rest of the year.

Both of us really like the game. But how can it stand the test of time? Read more to watch the video, then you tell us. The audio file is coming later

Sony announced that starting today you can pick up the "Classic" PS3 game Warhawk for only $14.99 from the PSN store starting Thursday, February 25th. You can also download the 3 booster packs titled Operation:Broken Mirror, Omega Dawn and Operation: Fallen Star for $4.99 each or as a bundle for $9.99. This game is pretty cool. I picked it up for about $20 on sale a few months ago and tried my hand at it but I was no match for all the Warhawk Veterans that were still playing the game. This is actually a very good price since you can buy the whole game and all the add ons for around $25. This should also boost the community and the amount of players who still play this game til this day. Check back for the PSN store update later today and give Warhawk a run if you haven't already tried it.

Oh yeah, they also make mention of some changes the development company, Lightbox Interactive, have made over the past few years and they hint at a new game they are working on. Is it going to be the rumored Starhawk? I guess we will find out soon.
