Anyways, in case you haven’t heard, a shitload of Game stores are holding midnight launches for the game. Check to see if your store is one of them .

But what about the us average gamer who will be lining up to get the game? Well, we should be getting review code for it next week, but just for you, we are looking at ways where we can cover several launch events for the game.

Speaking to G4, Quantic Dream’s David Cage has revealed that there will be a demo on the way for Heavy Rain before it’s release next year.
He however said that they were looking at which point in the game to pick as the demo.
“We are currently working on a demo, which is a real challenge. Finding one scene that can convey what we are trying to achieve with Heavy Rain is something really difficult,” said Cage.
“If we show an action scene, some players will think that this is what Heavy Rain is all about, and it is the same thing if we show an exploration scene. The problem is that each scene of the game offers contextual game play, which is something very difficult to explain and convey in a single demo.”
Exciting. The game is out next year for the PS3.
Valve’s put live the demo to Left 4 Dead 2 on Xbox Live Marketplace.
It’s over 2Gb in size. Go get it, sports fans. It’s here.
It’s out on November 17 in the US, and November 20 in the UK.

Games consoles are still generally untouched from the genre that is the MMO so far this generation, but this job application over at Cryptic Studios strongly hints at their upcoming MMO, Star Trek Online, could well be coming to the PS3.
The game was always confirmed for the PC and was said to be coming to “consoles” but which one(s) was never specified, and this job posting does strengthen the rumours that the game could well be making it’s way to the PS3.
It’ll be a year next month since the last Prince of Persia game launched, and any of you out there looking for a sequel are in luck. Over at Neoseeker, they’ve previewed the upcoming Prince Of Persia film, but at the end of their article left this little snippit;
“Our last bit of news is a juicy one: Ubisoft will be announcing a new Prince of Persia game in the spring, according to the team, but it’s not their place to give out any details.”
When approached by CVG, Ubisoft didn’t deny that a new Prince of Persia game will be getting a Spring reveal, as an Ubi rep replied to CVG with a swift “no comment.”
The movie is due out in North America on May 28th, so if there is to be an announcement, expect it around then.
Continuous Play, which is basically insurance for your Playstation 3, is set to be up and running again for new customers in 3 months, a PlayStation representative told GOONL!NE.
The Continuous Play scheme stopped taking on new customers in the middle of 2009, due to ‘fraudsters’ abusing the system. All you needed to do was pay roughly £5 a month, and if your PS3 were to get the dreaded Yellow Light, Sony would replace it free of charge. While an exact date was not given, the representative said that the service would be widely available “shortly, about 3 months or so.”
Good news for all those worrying about the health of their console, then.
