131w ago - ANZ Content Services Manager Nino Kalogeropoulos has unveiled the first L.A. Noire PlayStation 3 video game trailer today for fans!

To quote: Rockstar Games today released the highly anticipated first trailer for L.A. Noire, coming to PlayStation 3 in 2011, and it looks to be an absolute 'stunner'.

Developed by Team Bondi, a new Australian based studio founded by Brendan McNamara of The Getaway, in conjunction with Rockstar Games, L.A. Noire is a dark and violent detective thriller set against the backdrop of Los Angeles in the post-war years of the late 1940s, the most corrupt and violent period in the city's history.

131w ago - EA Bright Light Producer Justin Manning has announced today that Create will move fans on PS3 this November 16th.

To quote: Create is all about your imagination - tapping into both visual creativity and creative problem solving.

We have created challenges that require you to exercise many different types of thinking and problem-solving.

You will be tasked with a challenge, then given hundreds of objects in the game -- all with different physical properties -- that you can use to solve it.

We have themed 140 Challenges divided into four main types.





Object challenges encourage you to look for the most efficient solution to a simple problem using a small set of items. These can actually be quite tough to solve!

Scoretacular challenges seen in the video above are the complete opposite of the Object challenges, as you're tasked with solving a problem in the most outlandish way possible using multiple objects and setting up crazy chains of events.

This mode is incredibly fun and causes intense competition to find the wackiest solutions. Contraption challenges present you with a set of parts, such as wheels, planks, pivots and girders, as well as...
