These new maps trace their roots to the multi-player terrains of the original Killzone game. The maps willshow the planet Vekta in high definition. In Beachhead, the fighting is done at close-range as the Helghast attacks a Vektan stronghold from the shore. Southern Hills will feature a Helghast outpost on a hill. This site with its numerous hiding places is the bolstered version of the original.

Let these two new maps take on your journey! Are you ready to pick up the trail? These “retro” level packs which Guerilla Games has entitled “Flash and Thunder” are in honor of the Beach Head and Southern Hills. Both of these levels were fan favorites in the first KillZone game. They have been upgraded and enhanced to portray a technologically updated environment. The new levels will have lots of twists and turns to keep you at the edge of your seats. The game play will keep you moving and alert you as you dodge attacks from stealthy weapons and opponents.

With the Beach Headmap, unrestrained hand-to-hand battle fills up the limited level as the ISA defends their domain from the marauding Helghast who landed on the Vektan beaches. Water filled craters dot the landscape providing meager cover for the combatants. You are sure to enjoy stalking your enemies and taking them down with no mercy. You can also take the higher grounds to take up sniper shots.

For the Southern Hills map, the site for the encounters is the central Helghast base on top of the hill. Small structures encircle the base providing excellent sites for close-quarter fighting. The huge compound makes long-range shoot-outs possible and more exciting as shots criss-cross between the structures. This is ideal for large groups where players can number to as many as 32. The enhanced site provides more structures that serve as hiding places.

EA Montreal, a studio of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS), today announced ARMY OF TWO™: THE 40th DAY. The ultimate two-man private military team of Salem and Rios return in this epic sequel where they must survive and prevail in a city under siege. EA Montreal is once again leading the next evolution in co-op shooter games, offering a fresh, innovative and fluid co-op experience with a deep arsenal of customizable weapons so players can team up with their friends online for the fight of their lives.

“With ARMY OF TWO: THE 40th DAY, we’re pushing the tactical two-man military team into new battlegrounds offering a completely organic and rich co-op experience to deliver an action-packed co-op shooter this winter,” says Reid Schneider, Executive Producer, EA Montreal. ”As chaos blankets Shanghai, China, you must rely on your partner to survive as you weave through a broken city left devastated in a mysterious wake.”

When a disaster of epic proportions strikes Shanghai, China, Rios and Salem find themselves right in the middle of it all—the wrong place, the wrong time, but the right team. A carefully orchestrated series of mysterious catastrophes is dragging Shanghai to the brink of ruin, and now the Army of Two must fight their way through ravaged city districts as they try to beat the odds and uncover the secret of the 40th Day.

ARMY OF TWO: THE 40th DAY features a bigger playbook of new co-op moves that either player can use at any time, opening up new strategies and countless choices for both players. The result is a bigger, better, more organic and immersive co-op experience that lets gamers put their best two-man tactics to use whenever and wherever they want.

There is however a great solution for this enoyance. The PlayStation 3 Wireless keypad is a small, lightweight keypad that uses a spring loaded clamp to attach itself to your PS3 wireless controller. This is a great addon for your Playstation and will come in handy, especially for Home or games that require lots of typing. Using the PS3 on screen keyboard is a royal pain in the rear and PS3 Wireless keypad will definately make your life alot easier. It currently retails for $44,99 at Amazon.com

Is it worth the for $44,99? The buttons are kind of small but it does make the process of entering text much easier than the alternatives. For heavy users of the PS3′s messaging system or for anyone who has already spent hours pimping out their pad at Home especially for hours of text-based discussions, it may be a worthwhile investment.

Christmas is almost here and Sonic Unleashed, a great new game, is due to hit store shelves just in time for the holliday shopping rush.

Sonic the Hedgehog, an incredibly fast blue hedgehog was originally created for the Sega Master System back in the 1980′s. Since then Sonic has skyroketed into massive popularity with the development of many Sonic games throughout the years, including dosens of free flash Sonic games one can play online. Sonic has spead all over the world and has even made his way onto our early morning kid’s television shows.

Over the years Sonic has made some friends including an orange two tailed fox named Tails and the red close combat Knuckles. Together Sonic the Hedgehog and his friends go on missions freeing small animals, fighting evil robots, collecting rings and much more.

Sonic Unleashed is yet another fantastic game to add to the collection, which is apparently due to be released on the PS3 in several days.  The game seems to have all the classic hallmarks of a fast paced super sonic game and as the release date nears, it looks like it’s most likely going to get sold out this Christmas. In this latest game Sonic is due to battle against time and the race is on. Till we can start waving our Wii Controllers or stamping on our old-school controllers of the 360 & Ps3, Check out this official trailer for the game – looks very cool!

And since the official numbers are expected to be released tomorrow, we don’t have long to wait to find out if Microsoft is right.

“The PS3 is a third player, they are at risk of reaching a single digit market share,” Greenberg added. “They are a premium priced product in a tough economic time. They have a tough position to try and sell a product… The window of time when they were the cheapest Blu-ray player, those days have passed now.”

Greenberg claims that the key to success in a three console market is to differentiate your console, something he believes Microsoft has acomplish while Sony has not.

“The type of experience we are delivering is very different than the Wii,” he said. Microsoft and Nintendo “are both doing really well delivering our different experiences. I think the problem that the PS3 is running into is that they are trying to deliver the same experience (as the Xbox 360) at twice the price.”

Greenberg believes Sony is floundering, and places the blame for that squarely on the shoulders of Blu-ray.

Sony “has made a very expensive product built on the promise of Blu-ray,” he said. “That hasn’t worked out for them. Blu-ray is clearly not the next DVD.”

And while Greenberg acknowledges the successes of the Nintendo Wii console , he does not view Nintendo’s console as a threat to the Xbox 360.

“We see a lot of data that households are buying the Wii60,” Greenberg said. “But at the end of the day Xbox is where they spend the bulk of time. They want entertainment, Netflix, movies, games.”

“We think those consumers (Wii owners) will want to upgrade.”
