It isn’t often that I truly get sucked into an open world without feeling like it’s just a collection of map dots and radar blips, and with a year’s time, I was ready to jump in again on PC....

In speaking with “a reliable source who is not authorized to talk publicly about next-gen hardware but has shared correct information with us before,” Kotaku has put together some fairly believable details about the next PlayStation, currently dubbed Orbis. Pegged as having a holiday 2013 release, the system will not be backward compatible with PlayStation 3 games.

DtoiderKodykoalahastucked his business back in his pantsand returned to making miniaturized, bipedal weapons of doom. While his previous mechs have beenbasedoncharactersfrom theMariouniverse, his latest creation turns towards Mario’s corporate rival, Sonic the Hedgehog.
