PS3 Ultimate Deals are Tasty

Starting today and going through June 4th (2012 that is), you can grab some of the greatest PS3 titles for up to 50 percent off (via PSN).

If you don't have Playstation Plus, nine titles including L.A. Noire, Bioshock 2, Mortal Kombat, and REd Dead Redemption, will be 30 percent off. If you do have Playstation Plus, you can grab these titles for half off.

Come to think of it, I could use another copy of Red Dead Redemption. Never too many copies of that classic.

Mass Effect Hoodies - #seriously?

Look, I'm as big a fan of the next of Mass Effect, but there is no way that I can support the actual retailrelease of these hoodies. There's just really nothing cool about these in the "real world" setting.

Don't get me wrong - I think they look great on paper. Hell, they would be a sweet thing to wear to E3 or PAX. But to imagine gamers wearing these things in public is concerning to put it lightly.

Maybe I'm just in a bad mood. What do you think?

'Skyrim' to get Mounted Combat... soon

According to the folks over at the Bethesda blog, the next big update to Skyrim will in fact be mounted combat. This is also known as Horse combat for those of you out there who aren't in the modding community.

Of course you do mod the game, then this is nothing new at all... but I digress.

While there is no release date (or any information at all actually), PC gamers can test the beta version via Steam.

Or just mod it. But whatever.

Guide: 'Dragon's Dogma' Complete Locations Map

Dragon's Dogma is a massive game. To make the  map seem even more overwhelming, there's really no structure to the game. You just drop in, find some quests, and begin your journey.

Needless to say, having a map at your disposal is absolutely going to help.

Luckily I have spent the last several days discovering every location. They are now on the map below.

Hope it helps!

Guide: 'Dragon's Dogma' - Complete Item Combination List

There are hundreds upon hundreds of items to be found through the land in Dragon's Dogma. Not only are some of them great by themselves, but they can also be combined to make even better items.

Find yourself with a plethora of Twigbean? No problem. Simply combine them with a chestnut branch and you'll have a few blinder arrows coming your way. Did you know that a berry and an airtight flask combine to make a kept berry?

Neither did I. Until I just started throwing things together. The complete list of every item that be combined and what the result of such combinations are.

Guide: 'Dragon's Dogma' - The Pawn Essentials

If you're going to survive in Dragon's Dogma your going to have to recruit a few pawns. You can create them from the ground up, including their appearance and stats.

But there's a kicker - other players can recruit your pawn as well.

This means that it's even more important that you make the correct decisions in creating your pawns. If they end up being recruited by another player, your pawn can loot items from their world and bring them back to you.

Review: 'Max Payne 3' – Now I Need Pain Pills

I'll never forget the original release of Max Payne for the Xbox. It was one of the games that in my opinion truly defined what that generation of gaming was capable of. The appearance of slow-motion fight scenes via bullet time, the gripping narrated story, and the all-too-powerful feeling of a good cop gone sour placed Max Payne as a standout title.

Then there was Max Payne 2, which was somehow equally as great (if not better) than it's predecessor. Despite having massive shoes to fill, it produced on every level. Continuing the story of Max Payne with perfection, the idea of a third game was enough to make even Ben Stein excited.

Which is why I can't seem to understand just how Rockstar managed to screw it up so badly.

The 'Borderlands 2' Box Art is B-A-N-A-N-A-S
