The Sony PS3 will be the most powerful game console ever released. The impressive parallel processing architecture and powerful GPU allows for arguably the most ambitious releases on a console ever. Certainly, the graphics and performance the system will deliver will outstrip that of its more prudent competitors, Xbox 360, and Nintendo’s Wii. It should come as no surprise then, that many of the most anticipated titles of 2007 will launch on the PS3, some on multiple platforms, others exclusively. As impressive as the hardware is, it’s really not important in the scheme of things; what really matters is what games you can actually play!

The PS3 is costly enough as it is, and as with anything else you invest in, you wouldn’t want to do it before reading up on it first. What better way to do that, than to check out some PS3 game previews? Generally speaking, the best sources of PS3 previews will come from those websites and magazines that have generally covered PS2 and the original PS from the outset. General gaming sites like Gamespy/IGN, Gamespot, 1up, and GamesIndustry.biz are generally good sources of quick, easy to read news, game previews, and reviews. The quality varies, but what is common to each of these is that they will compare their subject matter to the competition. In this case, exclusive PS3 titles would be compared against games on Xbox 360 and Wii in any PS3 game review.

If you’re already a fan, and you’re set on having a PS3, you might prefer PS3 reviews from sites that deal with nothing else. Dedicated community fansites tend to have active discussion forms full of analysis of every last detail. More to the point, the staff who run such sites are generally fans themselves, and are just as interested in the system and games they post about, which is usually reflected in their reporting. Sites like PSXextreme, PSrules, PS3 Power, and PS3 Land are all good sources of PS3 game previews. Naturally, there aren’t any PS3 reviews out yet, but these sites are already geared up and equipped to start posting them as soon as they hit the shelves in November.

Anticipated titles at release time will include the fourth game in the ever popular Gran Turismo series, Madden 07, Vampire’s Rain, Crysis, Fatal Inertia, MotorStorm, Assassin’s Creed, Call of Duty 3, NBA Live 07, Need for Speed: Carbon, Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire, Resistance: Fall of Man, and F.E.A.R. Also keep in mind that the PS3 is going to be widely backwards compatible with older PS and PS2 games, which you’ll be able to buy from Son’y PNP service, if you don’t already have them – one of the major selling points! For your PS3, game reviews already written will be just as useful. Finally, going back even further, Sony has announced that a wide variety of Sega Genesis (MegaDrive) games will be also be compatible with the PS3, opening up yet more games to its repertoire.

Batman: Arkham Asylum On Ps3 And Xbox 360

Batman: Arkham Asylum is an action-adventure stealth video game which will be release in August 2009. The game has been developed by Rocksteady Studios and is being published by Edios Interactive in conjunction with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.

The game, Batman: Arkham Asylum, is based on the DC Comic’s character Batman and takes its story from the long-running comic book mythos. The game begins with Batman escorting the Joker and a large number of sane convicts to the Arkham Asylum after apprehending him after his latest plot. However, shortly after arriving at the Asylum, the Joker, with the help of Harley Quinn, frees all of the inmates and locks down the Asylum with Batman, Commissioner Gordon and most of the Asylums staff still inside. Batman is then given the task to uncover the full extent of the Jokers plans along with contending with the inmates of the Asylum.

The Gameplay places just as much focus on Batman’s role as a detective throughout the game as on his combat prowess. Most of the game is played from Batman’s perspective through an over-the-shoulder, third person perspective. The player is able to roam freely throughout Arkham, including an area that serves as Batman’s secret on-site Batcave. As expected, many of Batman’s gadgets are included in the game, especially the famous grapple gun to help give a better perspective of a particular area.

The Arkham Asylum will feature Kevin Conroy as the voice of Batman, Mark Hamill as ‘the Joker’ and Arleen Sorkin as ‘Harley Quinn’, who are all reprising their voice roles from the long-running DC Animated Universe. The game will be based on the 70-year Batman franchise as a whole rather than being tied to any particular adaptation.
