CES 2009: See Sony’s Booth

Posted by Jeff Rubenstein // Social Media Manager

How big is Sony’s booth at the Consumer Electronics Show this year? So big they’re filming episodes of Jeopardy! on-site (no Trebek sightings for me yet, but that will hopefully change today).
While the vast majority of the acreage is packed with Bravias, VAIOs, Handycams, and awesome audio setups (find out more at Sony.com/news), a number [...]

Wanna play Street Fighter IV? Shoryuken for Team PlayStation!

Posted by Jeff Rubenstein // Social Media Manager

Sure, who doesn’t want to get their hands on Street Fighter IV more than a month before it’ll be in stores? Well, Capcom is offering some PlayStation.Blog readers the chance to do just that, later this week in Las Vegas. Better yet, your Dragon Punches, Flash Kicks, and That-Thing-Vega-Does-Where-He-Jumps-Off-The-Edge-Of-The-Screen-And-Suplexes-Fools will count for Team PlayStation in [...]

The PlayStation Holiday Recap

Posted by Jeff Rubenstein // Social Media Manager

How many of you are dreading having to go back to school/work on Monday?
While I’ve definitely enjoyed the past 12 days or so away from the office (and the comparatively massive amount of gaming time it afforded me), I’m looking forward to heading out to CES next week to share what we’ll have at the [...]

Merry Christmas and 5th night of Hanukkah!

It’s been a tremendous year for us here at on the SCEA Social Media team. For instance, I know that nearly 3 times as many of you will read this message than our last holiday wishes post. And like Tim Tebow after the Ole Miss game, I promise you [...]

Resistance 2: Vegetables Sound Like HURT

Posted by Jeff Rubenstein // Social Media Manager

When you were little, did you ever try the old Halloween trick where you’re blindfolded and told that a bowl of cold spaghetti is witches hair, or grapes are werewolf’s eyeballs? Maybe my parents were just strange. But the point is, everyday household food could be used to trick a bunch of kids into imagining [...]

Posted by Jeff Rubenstein // Social Media Manager

By now, I’m sure you’ve seen the God of War III gameplay trailer which debuted at the SPIKE 2008 VGAs. It’s been everywhere online, it’s downloadable right now on the PlayStation Store, and it’s in the video below.
But right before it was shown publicly for the first time, I caught up with the game’s Director, [...]

SPIKE 2008 VGAs: Uncharted 2: Among Thieves trailer World Premiere

Posted by Jeff Rubenstein // Social Media Manager

If you watched last night’s 2008 SPIKE Video Game Awards, you heard the term “World Premiere!” quite a bit. Perhaps the most impressive “World Premiere!” was the reveal of the Uncharted 2: Among Thieves trailer. Shortly after the show ended, I caught up with the Josh Scherr, Cinematics Lead at Naughty Dog.
As the man [...]
