Just came back home after spending most of the afternoon and evening at the Sony Press Event and God of War III Media Event.

Sony spent the press conference showing off their new controller peripheral that was rumored for some time now. Moving forward with motion control and in some ways copying the Nintendo Wii’s large advantage in motion gaming, Sony announced their new controller designated: PlayStation Move.

I was again given a chance by Electronic Arts to check out the newly revealed career mode of Skate 3. Prior, they had only focused on the team-based multiplayer. For the event that they had on February 10, Black Box revealed what the career mode was going to be about.

A lot was shown during the quick presentation, and then I was given another chance to get some hands-on time. It’s safe to say that Skate 3 is still evolving in a positive direction, and the controls are still among the best.

The goal of Skate 3 is to expand the brand of the player across Port Carverton and become a skateboarding mogul. This is through the creation of your team, challenges, online events, and almost everything that can be done in the world of Skate 3. There is going to be a lot to do to get anywhere close to finishing the title, just for the single player.

There are days when a developer is hiding out in the city and wants to show off a new game that they’re working on. Other times, the developer is running around demoing a title at a writer’s house or apartment.

In this case, W!Games came by Monday to show me their new PSN and XBLA title Greed Corp, a turn-based strategy game that does away with long winded matches and introduces something not often seen in turn-based games: the need for efficient expedience.

Greed Corp is the first of a series of games that takes place in the universe that W!Games have created called Mistbound, a world that is crumbling at the feet of those who live in it.

W!Games’ plan on creating different genres in the same universe is a good one, because they are able to expand the world of Mistbound rather than jump somewhere else with a new title.

There are times when I missed a game release. Actually, there have been many instances where I never realized a title arrived at retail. The original Kane and Lynch: Dead Men was a game I never played or read much into for the simple reason that I hadn’t jumped to the PS3 or 360 yet.

But when given the chance to see the title in its Alpha build, I jumped at the chance to get a look at the game, along with learning the history of these two characters.
