Oh no, it looks like the shipped/sold bug is catchy… Codemasters the guys who made DiRT originally claimed that they sold 500 000 units in it’s release week… However after a bit of research it seems that VG Chartz president Brett Walton has revealed that they actually shipped 500 000 units and sold 260 000. Now 260 000 is a respectable figure but after …
Over at the PS3Forums.com Aquanox has posted a couple of screenshots of “The Darkness” on Xbox 360 and PS3… Apart from none of the screenshots being taken at the same time and the top one just being a black screen(?) they look pretty identical to me. According to the original IGN reviewer “You’re gonna get several more jaggies in the Playstation 3 version especially …

The lucky guys over at CVG have been given the opportunity of playing the first 6 levels of Lair…. I don’t think they managed to get a bad word out about this game. The graphics are superb, the levels are massive and detailed. The gameplay is top notch.. All in all it looks like Lair may end up living up …
PS3 fans have some reason to celebrate today as another PS3 exclusive has been announced. Record of Agarest War is a fantasy RPG that takes place over five generations.

More stories are coming out about the upcoming PS3 rumble controllers… and it looks really awesome. Not only will the new controller rumble it will also have “Touchsense”….
