It was recently leaked that Square Enix's LA studio was (keyword: was) working on a co-op shooter for PSN and XBLA called Project Dropship. It was never publically announced and has sadly been cancelled. It's really a shame because it's reported that the game was being built with co-op play as a central foundation to the mechanics. We even have some videos of the game in action for those of you who are curious about this game that will likely never be finished and released.

Are you trying to get into the Uncharted 3 beta, but you're not a PlayStation Plus member?  Did you miss out on our awesome beta code giveaway?  Never fear, steadfast gamers, the Uncharted 3 beta goes public today!  This marks week two of the game's multiplayer beta.  You will find it as a regular item in the PlayStation Store.  I did some in-depth research (I turned on my PS3) and yep, it's available.  

Happy 4th of July Hangover Day!  How's everyone feeling?  We hope you all had a great Fourth, and we hope all of our non-American readers had a pleasant Monday.  This week we crack open a giant can of Raid, and a PlayStation 3 staple gets the bundle treatment.

Even though Epic Games' slick idea to unlock items in Gears of War 3 for players who have attained certain Achievements in Bulletstorm, Unreal Tournament III, and Shadow Complex failed miserably...they have re-confirmed that certain Gears of War and Gears of War 2 Achievements will still garner some cool unlocks. In a nice touch, Gears 3 will even recognize Games for Windows Live Achievements from the PC version of Gears.

We've seen some zany collector's editions in our day, but I think this one might take the cake.  The Lord of the Rings: War in the North collector's edition comes with a leather quiver case for the game.  It's a quiver for arrows, it's a case for the game, and you can wear it on your back while you play and shout "FOR FRODO" as you charge into the battles against Sauron.

A version of the Gears of War 3 single player campaign has leaked onto the internet in fully playable form.  The game isn't scheduled to ship until September, but there are dozens of YouTube videos out there filled with spoilers from the game's story.  There's no details yet on how the build was obtained and if it is related to the recent hacker attacks that have seemingly swept the gaming industry.

Please release me, let me go (and eat brainz)
