Wondering how you'll be interacting with your PS3 once you manage to actually get your hands on Sony's next generation console? If you have a PSP, you'll have a good idea of the system's basic Cross Media Bar (XMB) interface, but today Sony Japan provided a close-up look at the specific PS3 version.

Salman from Tech4Gamers writes "Mortal Kombat 9 revived the series from a low point after bringing it back to 2D combat. It marked a new high-point for the franchise due to its incredible roster, exciting cinematic story mode, and high-octane combat."
Shaolin Monks is a forgotten gem. I would love to see a new one, or a remake of the old.
That game was actually goated. It was the first time ever that I actually tried to get good at a fighting game. Unfortunately the online connection was so dogshit it made it hard to enjoy and eventually I gave up. Haven't really played much fighting games since.
Taking a trip back to Housemarque's forgotten platformer.
The Simpsons: Hit and Run, The Legend of Dragoon, and Chrono Trigger would benefit substantially from a modern remake.
The Xenosaga trilogy, the Wild Arms games, Xenogears, Parasite Eve, Dino Crisis, Suikoden. The Warriors game I know nothing about but it looks interesting. Anybody can do a list of games they want to see get modernized I would lose my shit if Namco brought the Xenosaga trilogy to modern consoles.
I don't want to start any wars here, but "PLAYERS WITH WHOM YOU'VE PLAYED"? Is that really what it says? They couldn't have come up with a shorter way of saying that, like um...recent players perhaps? I'm assuming that since this is translated from Japanese that there isn't really a "PLAYERS WITH WHOM YOU'VE PLAYED" section, but if there is...wow, that's just bad. Maybe instead of "messages" it could say, "WRITTEN VERSIONS OF SPOKEN WORDS WHICH HAVE BEEN SHIPPED ELECTRONICALLY TO YOU BY PLAYERS WITH WHOM YOU'VE PLAYED."
~Again, don't want to start any flame wars, I just found this really funny.
Im actually quite disappointed with that. Its basically a straight port of the PSP menu. Someone said earlier, "Sony are innovative" well if that statement is true, then whats up with the menu? Do ya all see what im saying though? Its boring.
the must be a major reason why the interface looks more like a psp one.Don`t forget the psp will be remote to this thing..virtually interacting with ur ps3 music, videos u name it.keeping both interfaces thesame kinda makes more sence
