Capcom has released a new trailer for Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, this time featuring something that is perhaps more dangerous than the zombies, lickers, and tyrants rampaging through Raccoon City.

We don’t often write reviews for minis at PS3 Attitude, but we make an exception for titles as fun as The Marbians, a physics-based puzzler developed by Denmark-based developer OASO, which is the company’s first venture into the world of PlayStation.

You probably spotted the Netflix logo on your XMB this week. Well. The service went live today, and in doing so it introduced some much needed competition to the UK streaming market. Do you need proof? Just look at the reaction of rival LOVEFiLM, who responded to the launch with a new cheaper contract of its own.

Motosports come in all shapes and sizes, from the massively realistic races of Gran Turismo 5 to the slot cars of PixelJunk Racers. Somewhere in between lies TNT Racers; an arcade-style multiplayer racer where driving skill and power-ups determines the winner.

Originally released for the PSP and Wii, TNT Racers has finally made it to the PSN and Xbox LIVE. Does the downloadable title manage to pack an explosive punch, or does its fuse fizzle out before the starting flag is waved?

With the Wii U slated for full reveal this year and rumors of Microsoft’s next console announcement swirling PlayStation fans have wondered when Sony would make its move.

According to a ‘concrete’ source, the PS4 will be announced at this June’s E3.

We’ve moved on from 2011, but what a fine year it was. It was a year packed with many highlights: Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Portal 2, Skyrim, L.A. Noire and Uncharted 3 and Batman: Arkham City, to name just a few.

But we now turn our collective eyes towards the gems 2012 will bestow on us, and it looks set to be another fantastic year.

Over two articles, the PS3 Attitude’s writers are selecting their three most anticipated games of 2012. Staff writers Stefhutch20 and Ryanmoto3 put their votes forward in part 1 and editors DolphGB, Majiesto and Seanoc are following up now.

So without further ado, here are the hottest PS3 games of 2012, selected by Team Attitude.

High definition releases of the famed first person rail shooters The House of the Dead 3 and 4 will be coming soon exclusively to the PSN, SEGA announced.

The House of the Dead 3 will release first on February 7th with The House of the Dead 4 coming later in the spring. Both versions will feature updated HD graphics, trophies, and PlayStation Move support to give you that full arcade zombie experience.

Namco Bandai has teamed up with video game t-shirt company Insert Coin Clothing to bring fans an official SoulCalibur V shirt, just in time for its February release date.

Insert Coin Tees have always been of the highest quality gaming shirts, and typically feature some of the more obscure references such as Calber’s Fine English Ketchup from Metal Gear Solid or Hog Wild Airtours from Uncharted. No doubt the SoulCalibur franchise is in good hands.

These days pre-order bonuses, and more specifically predictable profit margins, are all the rage. In anticipation of the launch of Commander Shepard’s final mission, EA hath revealed the extraneous pieces of retailer specific pre-order bonuses gamers can expect for Mass Effect 3.

The European Store’s first official update of 2012 leaves a little something to be desired. Nary a demo for your judgement. However we can all give the store a pass this week in the spirit of the new year.

New content this week includes twin-stick shooter, All Zombies Must Die! and a couple pieces of worthwhile downloadable content.

Check it out.

The PlayStation Store has officially entered the new year. Right off the bat PS+ members are given free downloads of Back To The Future The Game, Swords & Soldiers, as well as Syphon Filters 1-3.

Downloadable content is somewhat limited this week but there are some free content nuggets for Resistance 3 fans.

Check it out.

I’m staring apologetically at my copy of Uncharted 3 as I begin writing this game of the year piece. It’s because it isn’t my game of the year, despite it being the best attempt yet to tie cinematic action with great gameplay and an emotional story. It is a sensational game, and it probably should be the game of the year.

I’ve gone for L.A. Noire instead though, and I’ll briefly explain why. At about this time last year, I decided I wanted something different in 2011. Don’t get me wrong, I looked forward to the big sequels and blockbuster action games as much as the next person did; however, I hoped for something more mature and thoughtful. I wanted a game that dares to be different. I wanted the next Heavy Rain, essentially.

Another year over. A new one just begun.

2011 was a real corker for the PlayStation 3. And for PS3 Attitude too. We got up to all sorts of shenanigans over the last twelve months, and some of us still have the bruises to prove it.

But this isn’t going to be one of those lame retrospective list articles that counts down our favourite moments from the last year. Oh no. This is 2012. This is about what comes next.

So strap yourselves in and get ready for the ride.

2011 was a superb year for video games with titles such as Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, Killzone 3, Modern Warfare 3, and a slew of other games, both with and without 3 in the title. With so many great contenders out there, it’s been difficult to pick just one to crown as Game of the Year.

I’ll admit that narrowing down my list of top games was a difficult task, but there was always one game that stuck out most; one game that managed to satisfy every criteria in my head; one game that excelled in all aspects. As a result, I’ve chosen Deus Ex: Human Revolution as the best game of 2011.
