PSN Update – Your Details may have been compromised

Sony have provided an update on the now 7 day outage of the Playstation Network which has been down due to an external intrusion into the system. In their latest update they have said it is likely that personal information (such as name and address and purchase history) has been compromised as well as Credit Card information if you’ve kept it on the system for purchases.

Update

Shacknews have official confirmation from Ubisoft that Assassin’s Creed 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction now only authenticate on first load.  Other games will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, so if you’re steadfastly against this clusterfuck of a PR disaster, you won’t be adding Settlers 7, Silent Hunter 5 or H.A.W.X. 2 to your collection any time … Read More…

Mass Effect 3 Official (but Not Officially Official)

Given how Mass Effect 2 ended (and all the posturing about the ‘Shepard Arc’ being a trilogy of games), we all knew Mass Effect 3 was coming.

I don’t suppose anyone expected it quite so soon, but BioWare have been teasing a new game for a while.  The internet was generally predicting it to be a Mass Effect MMO or (more obtusely) a sequel to BioWare’s first game, the mech sim Shattered Steel .
