Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
The latest installment of the CoD series departs from it's WWII roots, and moves on to tackle new battles... more modern battles. Here is the recently released trailer showing gameplay for CoD 4. It looks somewhat cinematic, hopefully very will not dissapoint.
PS3 1.7 Firmware Update Released
The latest Firmware (Version 1.7) was released last night for the PS3. Here are the changes it has made, shown after the download installs.
Updates:
- PSOne downloaded games are now playable on the PS3
- Saves from the PS3 can now be used on the PSP (I.E PSOne saves)
- Vibration support has been added to emulated PS1 and PS2 titles. ( All older titles now support vibration when you put the disc in your PlayStation 3)
UPDATE: It appears that you will still need a PSP to download PSOne titles at the moment. Hopefully Sony will fix this hiccup soon. ( You must have your PSP connected through USB mode to download titles still)
Update #2: Another small feature that our keen eyes have picked out is that the display of the date and time appears now below your downloads for games.
Tekken 6: New Info
New tidbits from the latest issue of Arcadia Magazine indicate a massive overhaul for many of the older characters in Tekken 6. Among the main highlights of the article were:
* Animations have been changed for every character! * All characters have an “item move”, like the Bryan shotgun we saw at the AOU trailer. Although not all of them will have the same effectiveness. * An example of an “item move” will be Anna throwing her high heels at her opponents. * Harada officially stated that Leo IS a girl. * So far Yoshimitsu has gone under the most drastic change. Harada notes that it will be much more difficult to use Yoshimitsu this time around and they consider him an “Expert” character. Part of his story includes the fact that his sword is now losing power and he must take a new fighting style, Kenjutsu from the Manji clan, this includes both dual sword fighting and pure fist fighting! * A lot of Lei Wulong’s laying down stances have been changed. They look more like Lei Fei and Shun Di’s laying down stance from Virtua Fighter 5. They also changed the properties where Lei can be counter-hit and juggled out of his laying down stances. * Many changes were done to Marshall Law. It is noted that fans of Bruce Lee and those that know of Jeet Kune Do will be very pleased.

PS3 Folding@Home
There is a great new way to utilize your PS3 when you are not gaming on it. It is a project called Folding@Home in which you donate your PS3 processing power to "fold" proteins for some very important research. The Folding@home project was started in 2000, but is brand new for PS3 owners. The benefits of this are really quite amazing. Folding proteins can help to better understand many diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, BSE (mad cow disease), Cancer, Huntington's Disease, Cystic Fibrosis and other aggregation related diseases. As of March 30, 2007, 49 scientific research papers have been published using the project's work.
The reason this is such a great opportunity for PS3 owners to contribute is that with the advanced technology of Cell processing, PS3's can fold proteins 20 times faster than a personal computer can. How cool is that!? There has also been talks of other companies wanting to utilize our PS3 cell processors for similar projects, in which PS3 owners may be rewarded in some way.
I just thought people should be aware of this opportunity, and how you can really contribute to a great cause.
There is also a PS3 team over at www.ps3forums.com which you can join to fold with. They are just now joining the ranks of the top 200 teams in the world, and are moving up strong. Head to this thread below to see how to join.
