The Wall Street Journal recently published an article that sheds some light on why the PS3 is where it is right now. If this article were entirely true (I still have my doubts about it), then yes, I guess Playstation fans only have IBM to blame for the downturn on their favorite console.
It would appear that the award winning shooter has taken it to another level. Valve writer Chet Faliszek stated that L4D will indeed have its own set of downloadable content. I mean, yeah sure the gane is fun but rushing through the same scenarios over and over again is getting kinda old.
Bad Rumor: It would appear that L4D’s DLC requires a fee for 360 users (I dont know… blame Micro$oft). PC gamers however will be getting these things for free (Ahhh…. lucky).
Personal Note: I wanna try a new scenario…. with more Guns…. a rocket launcher may come in handy 
We here at Game Brood have decided to get our shiny crystal balls out, mine is quite awesome, and decided to take a glimpse of the future, specifically, the year 2009. I am the PS3 gamer among the group so I have harnessed all of my crystal ball’s power into showing me what lies ahead for Sony’s troubled console, its games and its fans in the new year. So without further ado - and any solid basis, proof and any sort of explanation whatsoever - here are my predictions for the PS3 in the year 2009.
It looks like Capcom is on the right track to giving its fans the best 2.5D Street Fighter experience to date! Hit the link for the OXM review!
Once in a blue moon, I would stumble upon a photoshopped screenshot of some video game that’s so horrible and awesome at the same time, I just wish that the powers that be would turn this into an actual game. Hit the link to check out the screenshot.
Yes, there will be a public demo of Killzone 2, but there is a catch though: you got to pre-order the game from GameStop to get the demo. Hit the link for the full details.
It would seem that WAR is finally taking action, making it a bit closer to the MMO it was supposed to be… aside from the other fixes issued I’m sure you wont be disappointed by the new features WAR has brought upon us.

General
* Players may now create death knights on any realm once they reach level 55.
* Bonus Armor: The mechanics for items with bonus armor on them has changed (any cloth, leather, mail, or plate items with extra armor, or any other items with any armor). Bonus armor beyond the base armor of an item will no longer be multiplied by any talents or by the bonuses of Bear Form, Dire Bear Form, or Frost Presence.
* Racial restrictions on mounts have now been lifted. Night elves on mechanostriders? Tauren on raptors? You’re not seeing things.
* Tapping: All player spells which cause a creature to become aggressive to you will now also immediately cause the creature to be tapped.
* A new mailbox is now available at the Crows Tavern in the Dalaran Sewers.
* We have added over 60 new graveyards to Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms.
* The run speed in spirit form has been increased by 50%. Night Elves in Wisp form will now move at 75% speed.

Finally! Resident Evil Degeneration, a RE movie that isn’t directed or produced by Paul W.S. Anderson. The guy who replaced the scares for shocks and the horror for explosions in the last three Resident Evil movies. I still cringed at the image of Milla Jovovich riding her motorcycle through a stained glass window and then running over a licker with it. Flashy, overly edited, unnecessary slow-mo/bullet-time scene ensues. No. Paul W.S. Anderson. That’s not cool. You’re lucky gamers don’t hate you as much as Uwe Boll.
Anyway! So does Resident Evil: Degeneration, a RE movie that actually is connected to the popular survival/horror games, fair with my cynical eyes? Hit the link to find out!
With all the shitty WoW videos crafted by half-talented emo teenagers with tools like Windoze movie maker and Fraps (an unholy combination in the hands of the untrained), One can rarely find something as awesome as this WoW video, created by a real PRO — that deserves the all caps. Check out this WoW machinima created by Percula titled “The Craft of War : BLIND”. Oh and one more thing before you play the vid… Brace for epic!.
