It looks like Eric Lempel wasn’t kidding when he stated that Sony would “shortly” be posting part 2 of their video walkthrough of PS3 system software update v2.40. The second video was posted on the PlayStation.Blog around 8 AM EDT. Lempel starts off this five-minute segment by introducing the Trophy Collection under the Game tab of the XMB. First is a list of all the games you’ve earned Trophies in. The game title will be accompanied by a progress bar, which represents the percentage of trophies you’ve gotten in that …

While everybody in Japan and America have been enjoying their “last-gen” rumble, we in Europe have had to do without. Obviously, this is understandable, because just like Smash Brothers, there is simply so much translation involved. You need to change “DualShock” on the boxes to “L’DualShock,” and that takes forever!
Sony claims the DualShock 3 is the “first choice for gamers,” which is funny, because up until now we’ve not had that choice. Fear not, however, for we have now been graced with a release date, and that date is July …

The time is at hand, fellow PS3 owners. First, we saw a purported list of the v2.40 update’s features, and a proposal of a release date: three weeks. The very next day, a tip arose from the murky depths of NeoGAF; it stated that we’d see an official announcement and a video walkthrough from Sony on June 30th. It’s funny just how true some rumors turn out to be. The forumite over at Le GAF was proven correct early this morning: shortly before 3 AM EDT, a five-and-a-half-minute video walkthrough …

Saturday, EA issued a statement via the official Battlefield: Bad Company website, proclaiming that they are aware of connectivity issues that some players have been facing while trying to play on the web. The statement is written as if the tech guys live in the fictional world of Bad Company, where mercenaries carry gold bars in their pockets at all times.
We’re aware that some X360 players are having issues connecting to the Bad Company servers. We’ve been monitoring stats non-stop and are working with several partners to locate any possible …

As mentioned last night, I got to play Legendary again last week. This is actually the third time I’ve previewed the game, and each time, it’s gotten better and better. The game looks nothing like when it was first revealed, as a ton of details have been put into each facet of the game.
Since Destructoid has already previewed this game a few times now, I thought I would cover just the essentials this time around. Hit the jump to read about what’s changed in Legendary.

Nothing is worse on a red-eyed, dazed morning than realizing that the previous night’s escapades with the Rock Band drum set have yielded a broken foot pedal. The only recourse in this scenario is lie your guts out to any EA warranty representative willing to aid. The fib may be innovative and ironclad, but EA is still going to ask for a less-than-60-day-old receipt. While lying is a hilarious way to get hardware replaced, what about the honest man who may have purchased one of the defective November bundles?
For those …

OK, I get that everyone has different tastes. Really, I do. But why, Harmonix? Why follow up the Pixies and Weezer with M

Destructoid has checked out Spark Unlimited and Gamecock’s Legendary a few times now. In fact, I got to check out the game just last week. A small hands-on of that’ll be going up some time later in the evening.
In the mean time, here’s the first released screens of Legendary’s multiplayer. It’s not much, but it’s the first time that we’re seeing anything of it and I’m already salivating at the thought of fighting other people and werewolves at the same time.
Legendary is getting closer and closer to release, and …

A few weeks ago, LucasArts announced that it was laying off some internal staff as part of its restructuring plans. Yesterday, however, we were shocked to learn that those cuts included key staff that’s been working on The Force Unleashed.
Most surprising of all is that some of the employees who were let go aren’t exactly new to the company, and have worked on such games as Grim Fandango, X-Wing, and Full Throttle. Just why LucasArts decided to trim down this particular team remains unclear, but as on ex-employee pointed out …

I can’t wait for this fall’s release of Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice for the PlayStation 3. Each time I see or hear more about the game, I get that much more anxious. Hamza got a Prinny plush! I hate him!
While we’re here waiting, Japan is getting some awesome downloadable content packs for their version of the game. Japanese Web page Watch Impress has a big collection of screenshots from the first new pack, which adds the past game’s characters, Adell and Rosalin, as playables. Oh, and Nekomata beasts. Meow.
