New PSN "Programing" & Bioshock

Besides all the crazy stuff about MGS4 and the supposed 90 minute cut scene there has been some other PlayStation 3 news.

First off is a new subscription based gaming program going to be available at PSN. The service is going to be called Qore, will have monthly episodes that can be bought separately or by purchasing a 13 month subscription. From what was posted at the PlayStation.Blog, it's going to download and be installed under the Games menu and be accessed there. Y'know what? Let's just cut to the video.

From Crackle: Qore preview

Qore will provide news on upcoming games and more as well as offer beta invitations to popular upcoming games like SOCOM: Confrontation. Seems like a pretty good concept, and I'll be buying it tomorrow and commenting on what I think about it in my post tomorrow night.

The other bit of news is of course Bioshock, a number of media publication's Game Of The Year for 2007, is coming to the PS3 this fall. As I mentioned in a previous post this was one of 3 reasons I ever had to play an XB360. (Bioshock, Gears of War, Mass Effect - the later two are already available on the PC.) To further provide more information on what's to be expected from Bioshock on the PS3 the devs dropped by the PlayStation.Blog to drop some knowledge.

Some were worried that this would be a dumbed down port of the XB360 game much like last year's Madden was, but it turns out the PS3 will get some new goodies and the game should appear like it was always built for the PS3. So time to get excited about another game coming out this fall that's going to be a must have!
