It’s been a great year for football; especially if you’ve got a PS3. Since the first game kicked off at the start of the season, PS3 users connected via PlayStation Network have been able to watch NFL Sunday Ticket right on their PS3 every Sunday. That means every out-of-market Sunday game has been at the hands of subscribers across the country, delivered in gorgeous HD. But if you haven’t subscribed yet and are looking at a great way to get more NFL in your life, listen up.
As of the PlayStation Store update later today, the NFL Sunday Ticket subscription for the remainder of the season will be $199.99, split into two easy payments of $99.99. It’s the perfect way to enjoy all the action of the NFL in high definition, with live multi-game scoreboards and field position trackers. Not to mention, you’ll be able to access highlights, stats, standings, and schedules, as well as the Red Zone Channel.

It’s 11.1.11 and we are pleased to announce that UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception officially storms store shelves in North America today!
Nathan Drake’s latest outing will force him to confront some of his deepest fears as he sets off on a globe-trotting journey that leads him into the heart of the Arabian Desert in search of the fabled “Atlantis of the Sands.” You’ve seen the power of fire (Chateau level), air (Cargo Plane level), water (Cruise Ship level), and most recently sand (Desert Village level) in the game. The Dogs strove to outdo themselves in all facets of production, as we aimed to innovate upon the core tenants of the UNCHARTED franchise.
Keeping the narrative compelling and the characters authentic and relatable while delivering a top-notch cinematic experience was paramount to our past success and the foundation of where we wanted to go when we undertook the blockbuster task of building UNCHARTED 3. Pushing the capability of the PlayStation hardware and using a myriad of technical innovations, we took our in-game physics, particle effects, and visuals to a whole new level. Aside from these elements, we strove to make Drake feel even more connected to his surroundings as players move through different situations in different environments.
November is epic every year. And this November’s episode of Qore’s is huge with 3 epic stories and the reboot of a classic.
Enter the rich fantasy world of Bethsdea’s Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim in this month’s lead feature story. The open world environment is re-imagined and gorgeous. Veronica Belmont explores the new character progression and enhanced visuals as she re-experiences going one-on-one with a dragon!
Next, jump into Assassin’s Creed: Revelations. Much has changed with the end of this story arc, Qore discovers why Ubisoft has a playable Altair, how Ezio’s new eagle vision impacts gameplay, and where the series will go from here.
We’re truly living a fighting games renaissance. Ever since Street Fighter IV reignited the genre in 2009, we’ve been getting a number of interesting and diverse fight titles, ranging from the lush visuals of BlazBlue to the air combo extravaganza of Marvel Vs. Capcom 3. Along the way, we had The King of Fighters XII from SNK Playmore, touted as a “re-birth” of the traditional 3-on-3 series. And although it really gave new life to the franchise with gorgeous hi-def 2D sprite art and sleek animation, the game delivered little in terms of contents.
Two years later, SNK Playmore is hard at work to regain the crown with The King of Fighters XIII for PS3 courtesy of Atlus in the US. And based on the prospects, 13 seems to be the lucky number for KOF. The game was originally launched in Japanese arcades back in July 2010, being praised by fighting game connoisseurs for its vastly expanded roster (31 playable characters, including the return of fan favorite Mai Shiranui), revised fighting system (with faster gameplay and elements from previous titles in the series), and a multi-path Story Mode (with the conclusion of the Ash Crimson trilogy). For the home version, the team is adding even more fighters, stages and a variety of game modes – not to mention balance adjustments based on feedback from players of the arcade version.
