At Playstation Day, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe announce that Survival Horror game Siren Blood Curse will be available in the Summer, via the Playstation Network in episodic downloads. No infomation has been released on how much these episodes will cost, or how often a new one will be released. The story is : “in the Japanese village of Hanuda, where a TV crew from America arrive to research the legend of the ‘Vanished Village’ where human sacrifice is said to have taken place thirty years ago.” Players will be able to utilise the “unique Sight-Jack system to view events from the angle of your undead pursuers.

The latest developer trailer for Far Cry 2 is looking extremely impressive! In this trailer, the African surroundings are showcased with amazing attention to detail. It’s also interesting to learn the game almost wasn’t made, I wonder if ‘eaten by lions’ is covered by Ubisoft Montreal’s employee insurance policy?

Also, everything you see here will be exactly the same on all three target formats, video after the jump.

The title tells all, Prototype has been pushed back to April 2009. Well, April isn’t official but that seems about right. This is shame, as lots of people were really looking forward to this game. A spokesperson for Sierra said, “in the simplest explanation possible, we need more time to deliver the game the team initially set out to create.” Well, I guess if they need time to perfect the game then I’d give them time, and this also brings Online back into the picture. 

Well, it was obvious wasn’t it. Grand Theft Auto IV has taken the topspot, completely blowing the longtime no.1 Call of Duty 4 out of the water. And carrying on Grand Theft Auto’s domination of everything. It isn’t a suprise really, seeing as everyone on your friend list was playing it. And for those interested, the top 5 played games on Xbox Live are after the jump.

In an interview with CVG, Valve Marketing VP Doug Lombardi has revealed some shockers, like we wont see Portal 2 for another 6 years or so and Left 4 Dead my be coming to PS3. But anyway, read the whole interview after the jump.

It has appeared that info on the upcoming Prince of Persia has been released, and Ubisoft weren’t joking about them leading the franchise in new directions. It seams that they have dumped the Prince and the sands of time for starters. The game is made my Ubisoft Montreal, so it is the same hands as the first three games. They are also using the engine used for Assassins Creeds, but the team want the style to be “fantasy, but credible” like those found in the new Street Fighter or classic animated film like Princess Mononoke.” And as for the story, You’re thrown into a conflict between two gods: Ormazd and Ahriman, light and darkness respectively. Ahriman has released a plague on mankind or something like that, so you decide to meddle in this war and stop it. This game is set to be non-liner, unlike the others. I’m not too sure what to make of this, but I’m sure they can pull it off. If you want more info, pick up Edge on Thursday, as it has more info on this. 

The Wii has gone through a number of ports since its release, even one developed by Nintendo themselves (Twilight Princess.) However, one port you can expect never to appear in the future on Wii is the next-gen Prince of Persia.

“We ported Two Thrones to the Wii. It was a quick and dirty port, I can say. With that we saw a lot of potential. The controls were not fully optimized, did not take full advantage of the Wii, but a lot of people saw the POP universe could certainly have a home on Wii. Since then people have been looking into that, but there’s no formal announcement. We are investigating it very seriously. You would never see a port of the game we’re making however. That’ll never happen.”

Although I’m pleased that Wii owners will not have to sit through another lacking port, it’s impossible to say what can happen in the future. Publishers/developers have previously promised certain games to be exclusive to Wii, yet they’ve ended up on other systems. So, it does seem plausible that the same could happen with a Price of Persia port.

Those who are familiar with the Half Life series will know that there’s something not quite right with the G Man. And now we’ve finally found out what:

According to a report in the Economic Daily News, Asus’ Pegatron Technology has secured a deal from Microsoft to assemble Xbox 360 systems with a built-in Blu-ray Disc (BD)-ROM drive. Furthermore, the newspaper even claims that these new systems will begin shipping in the third quarter of 2008.

Not so long ago, there were reports claiming that Lite-On will manufacture a Blu-ray Disc drive for the Xbox 360, but Microsoft quickly denied such rumours, therefore it’s highly unlikely that this is true.

Writing in the Sun, British car show presenter Jeremy Clarkson (Top Gear) has said that playing Grand Theft Auto didn’t make him feel violent.

“This week the latest version of video game Grand Theft Auto hit the shelves — and pretty soon it will be cited as the reason why people feel compelled to lock their children in cellars, why Israel cannot find peace with the Palestinians and why everyone in Britain has been stabbed.”

“It was annoying. Not dangerous.”

At least Jeremy is trying to clear up that video games have no impact on a person’s decision to commit crime, if only the rest of the media thought this way.
