From Software is on a roll, with Demon’s Souls doing extremely well and another title in the pipeline called 3D Dot Game Heroes for the PS3. 3D Dot Game Heroes is an homage to the classic action-adventure RPG games of yesteryears such as the Legend of Zelda.

Recently Valve struck out at the PS3 community once again leaving many angry at the studio. An employee of Valve indicated that the Xbox 360 and PC community is “head and shoulders” above the PS3 community. He stated this as the main reason why Left 4 Dead was not on the PS3.

And the next big game is always the one touted as “a PS3 system seller.”
Dragon Age: Origins is Bioware’s next big title for this year before Mass Effect 2 hits in 2010. The reviews for the game have started pouring in and there is an odd difference between the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions. The PS3 version of Dragon Age: Origins is apparently superior to the Xbox 360 version.
Gran Turismo games have never been short on content. The number of cars, tracks, body kits, and tuning options in the games so far have been nothing short of miraculous. One thing it’s never had however is a track editor, which along with damage would be pretty high on most fans’ list of wants. Maybe Gran Turismo 5 can deliver on both counts.
For some odd reason Bayonetta has become the catalyst for the second console war. There are more articles about the impact Bayonetta is making in the console war than about the game itself.

A sore subject regarding the Xbox 360 is around the mod community or hackers running rampant with the console.
