"Starting in January, Fox and Universal will join Sony and Disney in supplying pics online to users of Sony PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable machines for either unlimited-time purchase or limited-time rental.

The aim is to boost use of Sony game gear with popular Hollywood titles. The exact number and titles of the pics has yet to be announced."

129w ago - Today Ken Schramm at Sucker Punch Productions shared a brief InFamous 2 PS3 update complete with new screens alongside details from their 2010 recap.

To quote: 2010 was a huge year starting with the amazing response to our announcement at E3 to the sharing of Cole's comic book inspirations at Comic-Con.

Whether it's exciting new powers, gruesome new enemies, or a new comic book, there's a lot in store for our hero/villain Cole MacGrath.

We're busy working on making inFAMOUS 2 the best action game experience we possibly can, and we'll have more to share in the New Year, including some big announcements.

What will Cole's powers be? How will your choices affect the game? What lies unseen in the city of New Marais? Your questions will be answered in 2011.

Until then, check out the holiday issue of PlayStation: The Official Magazine where you can get more details on inFAMOUS 2 and soak in some new images from the game.

We'll have more updates soon -- thanks for your support!!
