Sony has recently bought the game developer Sucker Punch, who is behind the hit game inFamous.

After passing the control of Sly Copper to Sanzaru Games, they dedicated their time to inFamous, which has had huge success with the

Hey gamers! So with the end of summer approaching we cant blame you if you are trying to squeeze in as many hours of game time as possible. School can really get in the way of prestige mode and accordingly you are trying to game as hard as you can before the inevitable beginning of school. I personally have been playing Ocarina of Time again with the impending start of the new semester (its a yearly tradition of mine).
So, I can understand the sentiment of non-stop gaming before homework and studying starts to eat up more time than the online gaming communities can. This being said, it is important to game hard but more important to game smart!

The Gears of War franchise has a new addition, and a new way of engaging the Locust horde in combat. Gears of War: The Board Game is expected to be out sometime this year, and was designed by Corey Konieczka, who helped create the Starcraft board games.
The board game allows you to play with up to three other friends, and recreates classic battles from Gears of War and Gears of War 2. The game play includes seven different missions, the ability to choose the COG soldier of your choice, and randomized battle movements. It is an exciting new addition to the GoW experience, and we are excited to get to see the game in person.

We can all remember family game nights, and one of the staple games for these occasions in my family was Battleship. It is a game that has been played by a huge part of the population and has been enjoyed for decades. The game has gone through many changes over the years, with the addition of built in sound effects, light up boards, and new game rules. This year however the game is taking on a form it has not previously extended into.
The teaser trailer for a Battleship movie features Liam Neeson, Taylor Kitsch, and Rihanna, and the movie is due to be released in 2012. This debuts a new twist on the classic board game. The movie will not follow the traditional game play, but the concept of naval warfare is the central theme of the movie.
