SOCOM 4 deploys April 19

Zipper Interactive's tactical shooter will arrive in under three months with full playstation Move support.  
At the 2010 Game Developers Conference, Sony showed off how the PlayStation Move would work with core games. One core game was shown, specifically SOCOM 4: U.S. Navy SEALs, the latest iteration of the popular tactical shooter series. The Zipper Interactive-developed game can be played normally with a DualShock 3 controller or with the Move controller and subcontroller for full motion control.



SOCOM 4 is gunning for an April 19 release date.

Now SOCOM 4 finally has a release date. Sony announced today that the game will ship on April 19 in North America, just over a year after it was first shown to the public. The game has been rated M for Mature by the ESRB and is exclusive to the PlayStation 3.

SOCOM 4 will be set in Southeast Asia after a revolution endangers a vital shipping lane similar to the Strait of Malacca. Players assume the role of the commander of a five-man squad of NATO commandos dispatched to prevent international trade from being disrupted. Their mission will only last six days, a time limit that Sony says will add urgency into the campaign.

As is a staple for the series, SOCOM 4 will have an extensive multiplayer component, allowing for teams of players to shoot it out in 32-player matches. Terrain types will include a hostile jungle and half-ruined cities.

Motorola Atrix 4G apparently priced at $150 by Costco, too


Never would we have guessed that third-party wireless retailers would be aiming to launch AT&T's powerhouse Atrix 4G for just $150 on contract -- $200 or $250, sure, but not $150. Alas, just a few hours after AmazonWireless' peep show, we're seeing an alleged leaked screen shot of Costco's inventory system showing the same blockbuster price. Now, bear in mind that AT&T itself will probably sell the phone for at least $50 more -- third parties usually have a second ETF on top of the carrier's that allows them to subsidize a little more heavily -- but it's a good sign regardless.Motorola Atrix 4G apparently priced at $150 by Costco, too originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 28 Jan 2011 11:16:00 EDT.

Tomb Raider Trilogy bundles up March 22

PS3-exclusive Lara Croft compilation of Underworld, Anniversary, Legend priced at $40.  
Fans of the crafty Lara Croft won't get their hands on the adventurer's recently announced origin story for some time, but those wishing to relive the older stories can pick up a remastered collection in just two months.


The Lara Croft three-pack hits in March.

Sony has confirmed that the Tomb Raider Trilogy will drop on March 22 (as suggested by an Amazon product listing), exclusively on the playstation 3. The bundle will include Tomb Raider: Underworld, as well as high-definition remastered versions of Tomb Raider: Anniversary and Tomb Raider: Legend. Additionally, the Tomb Raider Trilogy will include (also as suggested) Lara Croft and Viking Thrall avatars for use in Sony's PlayStation Home, as well as a static Lara Croft-minded theme for the PS3.

The pack will join the trilogy ranks of the Sly Collection, which was released on November 9, and the Splinter Cell trilogy, also due out March 22. There's also still the possibility of a Prince of Persia three-pack, although the likely games in that rumored compilation--the Sands of Time trilogy--have already been released as stand-alone downloadable titles on the PlayStation Network.

Dish Network remote access app extends its long arm to Android tablets


Dish Network is still on a mission to make sure that you get your TV Everywhere, and as of today, that means your Android tablet. We reported in November that the provider was bringing its Dish remote access app to Android, opening up the world of paid-for TV to even more smartphones. As with the smartphone app, Android tablet users will have to have a Sling-enabled device, like a Sling Adapter, to access their hard earned programming, and as with the smartphone, the tablet app is free. The Dish Network app's got all the same functionality as its predecessor: browse and search options, DVR scheduling/management, and a remote control function. So it's basically the same beast, but we're definitely still impressed.Dish Network remote access app extends its long arm to Android tablets originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 07 Jan 2011 01:40:00 EDT.

BLOG: The Glitch Gremlin Visits Super Mario All-Stars Wii!

With video!
The other night while I was playing Super Mario All-Stars Wii (you can read my review here), I noticed that something was going on in Super Mario Bros. 2. While playing level 4-1, the characters started to jump around, the scenery disappeared, and everything went crazy. That's when I realized... I GOT A VISIT FROM THE GLITCH GREMLIN! It was a very odd event. I hadn't experienced a game glitch in ages, much less old-school glitches like the one I just saw. I did get video, but only of a part of it. By the time I started recording, the glitch gremlin had gone home. Still it was an interesting event!
