Playstation 3 Launch

Hi def gaming is about to get a huge shot in the arm as the PS3 launches in the next month. Developers of many popular titles have been feverishly working behind the scenes to hit launch deadlines between November 2006 and March of 2007.

Fatal Inertia, Virtual Fighter, Stranglehold, Brothers in Arms, Full Auto and a huge list of titles are going to flood the market in the coming months and give every console gamer a rush as they load up and start working their way thru the new offerings.

If you’ve played Full Auto on XBox 360 you’re gonna’ love Full Auto 2: Battlelines on the PS3. Run, don’t walk, to pre-order a system and get your Christmas wishlist out early so everyone that knows you knows what games you’ll need for the holiday season.

Xbox 360 is due to launch some new items to battle the PS3 so we’ll have to keep our eyes peeled for them . I’m looking forward to playing a few driving games with their new steering wheel.
I can’t wait!
