The second one can be found after the jump, because we don’t want to put too much awesome up front and overwhelm …

GameDaily had a chat with Sony Online Entertainment president John Smedley about the recent Sony corporate shuffle and what’s going to happen to SOE as a result of this. According to Smedley, the change is “an opportunity and not a restriction” as SOE will have better proximity to SCE and will possibly develop more intimately for the PS3.

According to Ubisoft, the nectar-sucking first person shooter Haze is going to remain a PS3 exclusive for all time. It was expected to be a timed exclusive, but Ubisoft reps are now saying it will “never” go to another console. Those who want to play the adventures of Mr. Lightbulb Head will have no joy on the Xbox 360.
The decision is stated to be recent, but definite. So far, no official announcement has been made, but the reps were apparently very sure of themselves, so I guess we can expect …

This Xbox Live Arcade Wednesday, we’ll sadly not be treated to any new Arcade releases. And we agree, that’s a stinker. But there is a bright spot this week when, this Wednesday, March 19th, both the previously released XBLA games Assault Heroes and Doom will graduate to Xbox Live Arcade Hits status. And, as everyone knows, when an XBLA game becomes an Arcade Hit it means that its price gets slashed and in this case, in half to 400 Microsoft points each. No new releases …
