Unreal Tournament 3 is going to get keyboard and mouse support for the PS3. With the advent of PC gamers being able to share the same servers as console owners, PC owners currently have a huge advantage when playing games such as Shadowrun. This move should even things out a bit but will mean you’ll have to have 2 extra bits of kit in front of the TV. The missus won’t be happy!

It’s been announced there’s going to be a Lego Indiana Jones game coming to your lounge in Summer 2008. Lucas seems to love his Lego, and the trailer shows plastic Indy doing silly stuff from the beginning of Raiders of the Lost Ark and promises action from all three movies of the trilogy.
Those of you who didn’t manage to get a copy of Mario Party 8 before it was pulled off the shelves for having a bad word in it can now get excited all over again at the new relaunch date. It’ll be back in the shops on August 3rd. Those of you who got a copy, hang on to it, it may be worth something to someone one day, maybe.

Condemned Bloodshot is being toned down after Manhunt 2 was effectively banned in the UK. With the original being gruesome and bloomin’ scary to boot, the developers Monolith have taken a couple of things out to avoid getting the chop. So now you won’t be able to put anyone’s head in a vice and the decapitations are being toned down. Where’s the fun in that?
Sony have announced a version of LocoRoco is coming to the PS3. Titled Buu Buu Cocoreccho, the game will use the tilt function of the Sixaxis controller to move the world so you can guide your little smiling blobs through the level and into the goal at the other end. It’ll be coming to you over the PlayStation Network so hopefully this means we’ll all be able to play it sooner rather than later.
Its just been announced that Sony will be releasing a new slimline PSP in September in Japan, with the US and European versions following shortly after. The new handheld will be a third lighter and have a TV out socket so you can play games on your big screen and watch UMD movies. You’ll have to buy a special cable though which should set you back about 10 quid.
