#playstation3 Coming as a surprise to no one, Game Informer's July issue confirms the sequel to Sucker Punch's PlayStation 3 superhero hit inFamous, with a cover showing off a new look for series protagonist Cole MacGrath. More »

Over the last several years, Zombie Studios has devoted a lot of its resources to the so-called "serious" games business, including training products for the US Army. With its latest project, Blacklight: Tango Down, Zombie is breaking out of this serious mindset without straying too far from the military theme.

Blacklight sounds great on paper: a hefty downloadable multiplayer shooter, with 12 maps and 7 game types, set in near-future Eastern Europe and inspired by Blade Runner with a focus on customization. "Over two trillion weapon and armor combinations," quipped a representative during a recent preview of the game's co-op mode, which was held at publisher Ignition Entertainment's Calif. offices.

In practice, however, I found that Blacklight -- at least, in its currently unfinished state -- didn't come together to be a very entertaining experience. What did impress me, though, was the deep weapon and armor combination system.

Coming from the official Interplay website… Legendary Wars: T-Rex Rumble is coming to Nintendo DSiWare™ on June 21st, 2010! Thanks to CoffeewithChess for the heads up!

Cole makes his return, and is sporting a new 'do.

Sensibly capitalized sequel news now, with the long-rumored and impatiently awaited inFAMOUS 2 Infamous 2 making a bold debut on the cover of July's Game Informer. The developers at Sucker Punch are taking their current superhero to a new city, granting him new powers and -- judging by the cover art -- casting him in a surprisingly different aesthetic. Is that really Cole MacGrath? Seems more like a Cole MacPleasure, doesn't he?

Expect to hear more about Infamous 2 at E3 2010.

If you've got $30, a PlayStation 3 and an overabundance of supernatural, zen-like patience, you seem like a perfect candidate for a deal which recently cropped up on Amazon. Atlus's notoriously punishing action-RPG Demon's Souls is now only $29.99 through the retailer. If you prefer going to stores, or buying from a different website, you can get it for the same price from GameStop.

That's a pretty wicked deal on a decidedly wicked game -- though we must insist you make a few other Amazon purchases to complement your Demon's Souls experience.

Hello again! Laughing Jackal is pleased to announce that our first PlayStation minis title, Cubixx, is coming to the US PSN Store on June 8th, 2010 for the great price of $3.99!

Cubixx has been very well received in our native EU PSN Store, and now we’re sharing the cuboid love with our friends across the Atlantic. We hope you’ll take this opportunity to check out this super-addictive retro title. Be there, or be, um… cube-shaped, I guess.

Cubixx takes inspiration from a couple of older games of the same type and tasks the player with using their laser to cut away the surfaces of a mysterious cube and free the energy within. Cutting longer lines and crossing multiple cube surfaces will reward you with larger combos, but at far greater risk.

The game features 20 levels of increasingly lunatic difficulty, we really do challenge anyone sane to try and beat Cubixx’s 20th level. Many have tried but only a brave few walked away with their pride intact (unfortunately I am not included in that number).

Cubixx is a pure fix of old-school, high score-chasing gameplay with a modern twist. Do you think you have what it takes to top the high score table? Check out the trailer above for more details on the game. Look for Cubixx to laser-cut its way onto the PSN Store on June 8th for $3.99! Check it out.
