Climbing Olympus symbolizes both the accomplishment of achievement …
SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo 3 came out today for the PSP: did anyone notice? There doesn’t seem to be too much buzz about this game, which is hardly surprising given the latest figures for Sony’s struggling portable game console.

But in the PlayStation 3 game, obviously, the stakes are much higher, and you’ve got a lot more choices than just page 10 and page 33. In …
Today I went back Home. To PlayStation Home, that is.
The PlayStation 3′s online, avatar-based social networking community is filled with plenty of other player avatars, mini-games, shops, music, advertisements and video previews. I’ve only hung out in the virtual world a handful of times since the beta launched about one year ago …
