It only does great games!

Kevin Butler the host for the “It only does everything” commercials  is back to spotlight this incredible new addition to the Ratchet & Clank series. In this commercial(posted above), Kevin serves as “Chief Weaponologist,” fielding a “Dear PlayStation” request from a mystery man working with an unidentified organization hoping to acquire the Ratchet & Clank weapons arsenal. The exchange leaves even the typically sharp-witted Kevin at a loss for words.

Also there’s another “Dear PlayStation” commercial that will debut later this month that showcases a ton of great PS3 content with a crescendo that only Kevin Butler would dream up. You can watch it after the jump.

The Tester // Open Casting Call!

“Are you at the top of your game? Now you have a chance to prove it in the new reality competition series for PlayStation Network called “The Tester.” This original program will challenge a select group of gamers in a series of tests to determine if they have what it takes to make it as an official Game Tester. The elimination competitions throughout the series will not only test the contestants’ video game knowledge, but they will also challenge the gamers’ memory, stamina, dexterity, and overall mental prowess. Contestants must have the whole package to take home the coveted prize in this new original series. That’s because the lucky winner will earn a contract position at Sony Computer Entertainment’s Quality Assurance department in San Diego, CA, where he or she will get hands on time with the most highly anticipated games in the industry.”

You must be at least 21 years of age and legally eligible to work in and a current resident of the United States for consideration.

Gamescom trailers // Dante’s inferno

Limbo, Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Anger, Heresy, Violence, Fraud and Treachery are the nine stages of hell. Only nine levels in this game? Maybe they should have used a different story as background because nine levels is a tiny bit on the short side if you ask me. Or does Visceral games have something up their sleeves that will keep players occupied once they finished the story? Multiplayer? Trophies? or maybe even co-op in hell??? Anyway the game is getting my attention so they are doing something right, but that could also just be from the fact that Dante’s Inferno has always been one of my favourite bed-time stories…sleep well.

Prefuse will be visiting the Gamescom on saturday and make a full report about that day.
