CVG is reporting that "development sources" close to them have revealed that PS3 firmware update 2.5 will include a new screen capture function. If this turns out to be true, not only would it be great to take pictures of priceless in game moments you'd like to show off to your friends, but it could come in handy to us reviewers for a nice and easy way to get screen grabs.

That reminds us, do you have any in game moments you're particularly proud about and would like to show off? Go ahead. We're listening....err, reading that is....

Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2 Review

            I will not say that I am not a fan of the Trauma Center series, I am, but in no way does that affect my praise of this game as  I was very skeptical about this game.  It is not only the fourth entry in the franchise in 4 years, but it is a sequel to 2004’s Trauma Center: Under the Knife,  a great game by any means, but its Wii remake and sequel showed the flaws of the original game.  I am happy to say that Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2 not only proves to be a worthy sequel, but also has a vastly improved user interface and the controls work 10 times better.  I am so happy with this version that I now actually prefer this to the Wii version.  It is going to take a big revamp in Wii controls to match the DS’s.  For those who have played the Trauma Center series before and enjoyed it, buy this game, it is a great purchase. It's longer than the first and has another deep storyline that will entrance the player once again.   For those of you who have no idea what I am talking about, follow me after the proverbial jump so you can see why this series is great and why you should get this game (or play the first one first).

Alright, so we are in the final stretch of '08, aka the Holiday season meaning a ton of games are coming out.  So what am I excited for?  Read below.

 Number 10:

Moon (DS)

Moon is a DS game that I kept hearing some hype about but never really cared about.  It's an unknown game with an unknown publisher, Mastiff.  Being devoloped by Renegade Kid, none of their work comes to mind.  When I was reading Matt Cassamassina's blog, as I always do, I saw him remarking about how Moon is a lot like Metroid on the DS done right.  When I heard that from him, I knew that this must be a good game.  I am excited for it, obviously, as it made the list.  It is coming out November 18, 2008.  It is an FPS in which you navigate the Moon fighting aliens.  It sounds cliche, but on the DS it sounds great.  I am really anticipating this game and am excited to play it this holiday season. 

 Number 9:

Samba de Amigo Wii (Wii)

As you know, I am excited about this game.  I really like Sega's classic characters, and while lately we have seen poor renditions of Sonic and NiGHTS, I have faith in our little monkey friend Amigo.  I like the maraccas and hope that this game is good, it is hard for even Sega to ruin a rhythm game.  Comes out September 23, 2008.

Yes, Left 4 Dead has been delayed, but not so long, only until later in November.  Left 4 Dead is a multiplayer online game made by Valve.  The game uses the famous Source engine in which you fight through hordes of zombies.  Yes it sounds like Resident Evil, heres the cool part though.  You can team up with your friends in around the world co-op to fight the zombies together.  Which is why Left 4 Dead is on my top 10 list of anticipated games for 2008.  Which actually I think I'll make a post about.

Fallout 3 was given a date an Leipzig to be a release of October 28, 2008.  I think I might pick it up.  It's supposed to have 100 hours of gameplay in it alone and is a very interesting style of RPG and FPS mixed together which makes me curious about the game.  I also like the idea of a post-apoclyptic Earth. It is coming out for 360, PS3 and PC.

When you think of PS3 is the first thing you thing of more storage space?  Because Sony decided to announce today the 160 gigabyte PS3 for Europe (most likely coming to America). Its in an Uncharted: Drake's Fortune bundle.
