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.

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.
