Assassin’s Creed II for PS3 Slim
Finally the much-awaited Assassin’s Creed II
was launched in November 2009. For those new to PS3 gaming, Assassin’s Creed
is an action-adventure series of games meant for both PS3 and XBOX360. It’s published by Ubisoft Montreal and they have planned PC version of the game for a 2010 release.
Beating all odds and expectations the game sold 1.6 million copies in the first week of release. Ubisoft said that the PS3 and Xbox game sales were 30% better than the Assasin’s creed original title that was released in 2007. The overall graphical artistry, use of historical data, character background and better game engagement quality are some of the reasons behind the success of this game.
The story moves around ‘Animus’, which is a machine that allows the players to see genetic memories of Desmond Miles, the chief protagonist. Thus as player you’d be taken through the history of Desmond’s ancestors, along line of assassins.
A major success-point of the game is its ability to use real-life historical events and characters within the game’s storyline. Animus will enlighten the journey of a nobleman-turned-assassin Ezio Auditore Da Firenze, who belongs to 15th-16th century Italy. The story moves through the renaissance period and encounters many known characters including Machiavelli.
With a price tag of only $60 and record sales this is a must-have game for your PS3.

7 Reasons Why Playstation 3 Slim Means Business
PlayStation 3 Slim
, the slimmer, lighter and cheaper PS3 came out with a bang. The price war started and both Xbox and Wii responded. But is the new PS3 Slim worth the attention it’s receiving? Lets checkout some great reasons why PS3 Slim is a better buy any day.
- Lower Price Tag- Well, you can get a PS 3 120 GB
for $299 in US/Canada and for around £250 in UK. Xbox users might sneer at this but for a PS3 to fall within this range is a great thing for consumers in this recession. - Slimmer- It is now 11.42 x 2.56 x 11.42 inches, which is an inch less on all sides. You have to see it to believe how slim it looks.
- Lighter- It has shed some 3 pounds and weighs around 7 pounds now. SO it shouldn’t be a problem carrying it around in your laptop bag anymore.
- Greener- In a bid to find ways to be environmental friendly, Sony claims that PS3 Slim uses 34% less power than any previous model.
- Quieter- If you have ever used a Playstation you must have noticed the noise level. With growing dissatisfaction regarding the noisy PS consoles, PS3 Slim claims to be 10 decibels less noisy.
- Larger- Well, not in size but in HDD storage. PlayStation 3
comes in two HDD versions- 120 GB and 250GB. Infact it’s only a regular SATA slot so you can upgrade further if you wanted to. - More Games-If you always moaned about lack of backwards compatibility with PS3 you will be delighted to know that PS3 Slim will allow you to play with more games, such as Drake Fortune 2 and Eyepet etc.

Sony Playstation 3 Flying High With US Air Force
Why would you think that US Air Force has ordered a heap of Sony Playstation 3 consoles? Are they trying to master simulation games to train their pilots or something? Or they just want the crew to chill out with the best gaming experience? No. US Air Force just like many other organizations have realized the true potential of Playstation’s cell processor.
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Cyber Crimes Center recently used PS3 cell processor’s to find out codes to de-crypt hidden files to aid in several key court cases. Just an example to prove how useful a gaming console could be. Well,not just any, its Sony PS3
.
US Air Force has bought a consignment of 2200 PS3s in addition to an existing 336 to further reinforce their research labs. The previous 336 PS3 have been used in various projects like Neuromorphic Computing, High Definition Video image processing and Back Projection Synthetic Aperture Radar Imager formation. This new consignment of PS3 cell processors will be used in researching Advanced Computing Architectures and High Performance Embedded Computing concepts.
It’s not because the Air Force couldn’t find anything better that’s why they choose PS3. It’s the cost that’s deciding factor..A single 3.2 GHz cell processor, which comes for around $8k, can deliver over 200 gigaflops, whereas the Sony PS3 cell processor delivers approximately 150 gigaflops and costs $600. This cost difference alone makes PS3 a worthy option and when it comes to Sony brand name’s quality record, it becomes an automatic winner.

What’s New In Playstation 3 Slim?
It’s out now and selling like hotcakes. PlayStation 3 120 GB
is priced at $299 only. It can’t get any better. Sony has launched this slimmer PS3 with a distinct target audience. They are out to woo those who found standard PS3 version fatter and expensive.
PS3 slim is lighter and slimmer- true to its name. It weighs only 7 pounds as opposed to 12-pound earlier models, and is only 2.5 inches wide. Compared to the regular version, Slim does not come in glossy finish but only in matt charcoal colour.
One downside with the slim design is that you’ll need a stand if you want to erect it like a tower. Not that you really need to do that for optimum gaming experience. PS3 Slim has upgraded the memory options. From 80GB it now offers 120 GB and 250 GB, with an option for you to upgrade further anytime if you need to.There is a standard 2.5 inch SATA slot. Another technical difference is that Slim does not support ‘other OS’, so no more Linux hacking with this one. If you’ve used a PlayStation 3
lately you would have realized that they stopped PS2 game support in 2007. Same applies to Slim, so no backwards compatibility.
Best Games to get for PS3 this Holiday Season
With the holidays just around the corner, I thought I’d post a few of my favorite PS3 games so far this year:
Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time
Our friends over at Amazon are running a special right now. If you purchase $80 worth of new games (the ones above are included) they will send you a $20 gift card to use on future game purchases! Pretty sweet deal. Think we left any games off our list? Leave your feedback in the comments!

New 250gb PS3 Slim for Sale Now!
Recently Sony came out with a larger PS3 Slim. It is the same size as the current model, but features a 250GB hard drive. For an extra 50 bucks you can get twice the space, which can be used to store movies, music, photos, gamesaves, and game installations on the drive.
At first I thought that 120GB was plenty, but I have had my PS3 Slim for less than two months and I already have used 65 gigs! Perhaps 120 isn’t so much after all!
Anyway the new Playstation 3 slim is on sale now so check it out at Amazon. You may want to order them now if you want them for the holiday season, as they have been flying off store shelves.
