    PS3′s firmware bug causes Bluray skipping or freezing 

    Hellboy tosses the baby into the air, winds up his grenade launcher, and the baby never comes down.  The movie has completely frozen.

    Was the disc broken?  Was my PS3 dying?

    Nope.  The latest firmware has trouble with a specific audio codecs on the 60gig fat PS3′s.

    Wait. Tell me if you’ve heard this one before 

    So, here we were watching some movie trailers over lunch when we stumbled across the new Narnia 3 trailer.  After having read and been disappointed with the books as a kid, the movies haven’t really caught my attention.  The trailer music did however, because I had heard it before…

    Pixels invade as art 

    A very neat little music video featuring a blend of pixel art and real world shots.  You aren’t cool unless you have corners.

    Get hyped for: Monday Night Combat 

    Monday Night Combat is a new Xbox Live Arcade title coming out in the near future.  It plays like a cross between Defense of the Ancients and Team Fortress.  A more detailed description would be a 3rd person shooter, where you control 1 of a few teammate “heroes.”  During the combat, large waves of robots spawn in each team’s base and march to the center, where without intervention they will meet halfway and come to a standstill.  It is up to each team’s heroes to push their team’s army of robots further and further into the enemy base, where they can be used to destroy it.  It plays out like a Tower Defense game, if you were controlling the mobs, and the towers placed throughout the map are your enemies.

    Monday Night Combat looks like it will support modes for 4 on 4, split screen, and a 2 on 2 mode.  Demo to be available (as with all XBLA titles) when it is released.

    Check out this trailer:

    Get hyped for: Transformers: War for Cybertron 

    This. Looks. Great.

    High Moon Studios made a fun multiplayer title with their Darkwatch game, and proved they can think outside the box with Bourne.  Now they’ve got a transformers title in the works, and it looks outstanding.
