For some reason I just don't feel that excited, might even be worst than after E3 was over, this year. Maybe something about Kingdom Hearts 3 would stir the emotions up but even that I doubt. Can't believe Blizzcon will be of more importance to me personally o.O.

Wait that's weird, Tekken Bloodline Rebellion was supposed to be coming on PS3 right? I knew about the Tekken 6 360 exclusivity but for it to also have the Bloodline Rebellion update too? That's impressive.

I wonder what Sony has to say? What can they say, as long as they bring out titles I like then i'm happy.

Some Sony Highlights:-

Another next-gen Castlevania title has been announced for the PlayStation 3. a brief 10-second teaser involving a blonde dude and a glowing red sword. The game's story involves a "cursed fate" that's placed upon a kin ... in other words, a typical Castlevania plot.

PS3 may have lost an exclusive, but it gained another. Quantum Theory is a PS3-exclusive third-person shooter that's supposedly Japan's answer to Gears of War. It comes from Tecmo's Makoto Shibata and will undoubtedly feature all the things needed for a good American-style shooter: greys and browns, explosions, a cover system and ridiculously large arms.

The Killzone 2 hands-on even includes a little bit of cam footage. And best of all, because it was a Sony event, all multiplatform games played were the PS3 versions, so it was definitely worth checking out

* 30 minutes with Prince of Persia
* Killzone 2
* The beginning of Dead Space
* Revisiting Quantum of Solace

Home's open beta is on track for release in Japan later in the month. The open beta will end in November, at which time we take for granted, in the absence of proof to the contrary, that the final product will be released.

Is Star Ocean 4: Last Hope still 360 exclusive? Because on game reporting sites like 1up and gamepro, they used to have it listed as 360 only until yesterday when they added both. >.<

It is not an exclusive? Did you mean the DL content?

[Tumble]

It's coming out on both. He misread it...probably.
