What's happening on PS3T? PS3T Game Nights We were all took by surprise last week when the PS3T Staff announced yet another Game Night at the end of this month. It was looking doubtful that we would have enough time to squeeze one in, what with the THL now well under way. So what game is it going to be, you ask? Well, since the decision was left up to the members again, nobody really knew which game we would be playing until the final votes were counted up. After a massive 118 votes, the final result came down to a tiebreak between Max Payne 3 & Assassin's Creed: Revelations. With the voting locked at 38-38, it was clear that the staff couldn't turn one game down over the other. So for the first time ever, the site will be hosting a double game night session on Saturday 28th July. Note - You can only sign up for either Max Payne or Assassin's Creed: Revelations.
