Rumor: Beatles Rock Band supports multiple mics, harmonies
From the pages of Game Informer, according to Destructoid, comes a rumor that the upcoming The Beatles: Rock Band will support multiple microphones so that players can harmonize on vocal tracks.

PSN scores a new exclusive: ZEN Pinball
The PlayStation Network has a lot of games, but it’s missing one key genre: a pinball game. ZEN Studios plans on rectifying this with a PSN-exclusive game this Spring.

Sony: PS3 beating Xbox 360 in per-title attach rate
While Microsoft often touts the Xbox 360’s impressive attach rate — the number of games sold per console — Sony isn’t sitting on its laurels.

Sony asking if God of War III CE should include first two games
It’s no surprise that God of War III will most likely be receiving collector’s edition treatment. What’s surprising is one of the bonus items Sony is considering: a Blu-ray disc containing — it would seem — PS3 compatible versions of God of War and God of War II.
In a survey sent to registered PlayStation 3 [...]
Terminator: Salvation trailer includes sweet action, bad voice acting
Grin is on a licensed game streak, having taken the reigns on Capcom’s Bionic Commando reboot, breathing digital life to Mark Millar’s Wanted and now shining light on Linda Hamilton’s dark vision of the future in Terminator: Salvation. Based on what we’ve seen and our hands-on impressions, Terminator: Salvation has potential; however, the voice [...]
Final Fantasy XIII demo plugs game for winter ‘09 in Japan
At least one lucky (industrious? shop-owning?) Japanese blogger has gotten a hold of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete in advance of its April 16 release. That and the little pack-in known as the Final Fantasy XIII demo.
