A look back at the big PlayStation games of 2008 with the team from Play magazine

The Play team discuss their tips for Christmas 2009′s best PlayStation 3 releases

We’re reaching the end of the show now, and my battery life, so it’s time to sum up

Jack’s back on stage and he’s announcing a new PS3 pack for $399, an 80GB PS3 with the same functionality as the 40GB one, so that still means no move back the backwards compatibility

Right, Wi-Fi is back up and I can now blog a bit quicker

Okay, so Sony has shut off the Wi-Fi connection at the conference so this isn’t quite as live as I’d hoped it would be

EA’s press conference had hardly any big announcements, but it still made for an entertaining watch

We’re livid, about FFXIII on the 360

Well we managed to stay awake long enough to crawl into the Square Enix press conference, which (as we predicted) was exclusively focused on FFXIII

We’re still watching Microsofts E3 keynote speech, and we just saw Bethesda’s Todd Howard take to the stage to give a compelling demonstration of Fallout 3

It’s only an hour or so into Microsoft’s E3 conference and Sony’s arch rival is going going straight for the jugular.During his keynote speech senior vice president, Don Mattrick, bravely stated “I’m willing to declare here, today, that Xbox 360 will sell more consoles worldwide than PS3 and Wii.”Those are fighting words indeed, especially when nearly everyone else is predicting the exact opposite

After a 12 hour flight that consisted of stinky man-farts, French air hostesses with stupid hair, and other things that made it a living hell, Play has finally arrived in Los Angeles and has infiltrated E3 (we say infiltrated because everyone seems to think we’re the American ‘Play Magazine’, and our badges say we’re from Massachusetts).Anyway…not much has happened yet, in fact we’re surrounded by plastic wrapping and massive cardboard boxes as most of the exhibitors are still getting their shit together

I, like everyone who didn’t have to attend the event, used to love E3

I had a planning meeting with Sony recently
