Games-

Killzone- This game is following the first two in the series for the PS2. It is expected to be the Big HALO Killer by many fans.

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames
- Now supporting a Co-operative play for the game, you may also start your own army and actually hire mercenaries as apposed to playing the hired like in the first game.

Need For Speed: Carbon
- The newest installment in the NFS series, adding a new type of race called canyon racing where you gain points by closely following the opponent and loose points by letting the opponent follow you to close.

Assassin’s Creed- In the time of the third crusade, you play as Al Tair, an assassin of the Hashashin sect. This game will feature a completely free roaming world in comparison to other games such as Elder Scrolls series, Grand Theft Auto, and the Shadow of Colossus.

Battlefield: Bad Company
- The first game from the Battlefield series to be created for the Next Gen. Consoles, it will have a new featurette of destructible environments. Release date is expected for some time in 2007.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma
- This is another remake of the first Ninja Gaiden on the Xbox with more upgrades and additions. Two additions will be combat on top of water and dual-wield weapons.

Unreal Tournament 2007 - A first person shooter following previous games from the UT series. It is mostly designed for multiplayer purposes but contains a single player mode in which it uses bots and basically duplicates the multiplayer mode.

Tekken 6 - A continuation of Tekken 5, this highly detailed fighting game even implicates sweat into the fight. It shows s detailed scars and shadows as well.

Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire - Based on the Anime and Manga series. Released on November 17, 2006. In the First Gundam era, a war was waged between the to factions, the Earth Federal Forces and The Principality of Zeon.

Gran Turismo HD - HD for High Definition, it is also know as Vision Gran Turismo. This is the newest part in the Gran Turismo family. The number of cars per race is now doubled and there is a choice of ten vehicles. Notice that the word “cars” was not used. Three of the Vehicles will be motorcycles, which can race against the seven cars.

Accessories-

The SIXAXIS- Named for its ability to detect motion in six degrees, this is the standard controller for the PS3. It also looks cosmetically similar to its predecessors, the Dual Shock 1 and 2. This one though, is lacking in the vibration ability, due to interference with the wireless capabilities and Blue tooth technology. The blue tooth technology will support up to 7 wireless controllers.

Boomerang- The original, Banana-shaped controller is no longer going to be soled on the market. We believe Playstation removed it and returned to the Dual Shock design due to constant ridicule and criticism of this controller.

Memory Card adapter - This adapter makes it possible to transfer files and data from old memory cards from the PS1/2 to the hard drive of the PS3. This could be useful when it comes to the backwards compatibility feature.


BD Remote - Through the blue tooth feature, this remote promotes easy control for Blue-ray DVD’s although the PS3 will not accept standard rays. This means it cannot be intertwined with the family home theater system’s universal remote and can only use the BD Remote.
