Bethesda has released some awesome looking screens for what's expected to be another great installment in the long running saga.

Yes believe it or not, some people out there believe that not only is the Xbox 360 equal to the PlayStation 3 in power but is actually superior as well. One prime example is Richard Leadbetter, the writer of the Digital Foundry blog. His latest attempt is their latest comparison Face Off: Final Fantasy XIII. It's about time someone called him out.

Jaffe writes "Playing GOD OF WAR 3 this weekend and really, really loving it.But it being a great game aside, it is an AMAZING and RARE game design learning opportunity. To play a game based on your initial design formula that you had nothing to do with is eye opening! Because for the first time, I can actually see how the game/God Of War formula feels to a normal player!"

The official embargo for God Of War 3 reviews is 5pm GMT today...

However, some early God Of War 3 review scores have already begun trickling out - and they're full of praise for Sony's game. Like, 10/10 praise.

A Microsoft trademark could have forced Sony to rename its PS3 motion wand.

Though it's never been officially Christened, the PS3 motion controller has been heavily tipped to be called 'Arc' - with several third-party execs coining the name.

It's emerged this morning, however, that a range of Microsoft-trademarked PC accessories of the same name could have forced Sony to change its plans.

Some new Rome screenshots of Gran Turismo 5 have been emerged.

2K Games has announced it has signed a license agreement with Playboy magazine for a unique in-game integration to use more than 50 the publication's vintage covers and Centrefolds in Mafia II,

Mafia II will enable players to collect virtual copies of the iconic magazine, which has served as the definitive guide to lifestyle and culture for men since December 1953.

CC: With just weeks separating us from our copy of Just Cause 2, the demo has been a godsend, allowing us to learn the controls, get a feel for the game, but most importantly, blow stuff up. Our eyes are red and bloody from watching explosions all day long, so we thought we'd share the best bits of the Just Cause 2 demo. Why? Just 'Cause.

Brett Walton: "Final Fantasy XIII pre-orders hit 475,000 units this week, with over 70% of those for the PS3 version. For week one sales, I don't expect the split to be quite as strongly in favour of the PS3 version because whereas a lot of loyal Final Fantasy fans (the kind who would pre-order) will be PS3 owners, the more casual buyers will be more evenly split between consoles, as well as the Xbox360 bundle that is being offered and heavier advertising for the 360 version. For week one sales, I'd estimate around 400,000 on PS3 and 250,000 on Xbox 360."

God of War III's embargo lifted today, resulting in an endless batch of reviews, most of which are perfect-including PlayStation LifeStyle's. With all the exquisite praise the PlayStation 3 exclusive title is receiving, it has become a "God" on Metacritic, reaching a landmark feat in such a short space of time.
