With so many shooters that came out last year, it was hard for gamers to get their hands on them all without putting a decent dent in their wallet. Beyond the heated rivalry between the Battlefield and Call of Duty franchises, 2011 hosted other shooters such as the long-awaited Crysis 2 and THQ's Homefront. That year has passes, but one game has a neat trick up its sleeve to keep itself relevant in 2012, and that game is Killzone 3.

With E3 a few months away and the reveal of the Wii U last year, all eyes have been on Microsoft and Sony in anticipation that either one or both companies would reveal their next console some time soon. Numerous rumors have come up over the past year, speculating just what might be in store for the next generation. While another report hinting at a new Sony console may not be a surprise, one of the details regarding that just might be.

Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) announced a new free-to-play business model for its popular massively multiplayer online (MMO) game DC Universe Online (DCUO) — where players have the freedom to become legendary fighting alongside DC Comics icons like Superman, Batman and The Joker in an ever-evolving online action adventure that has already logged more than 42 million hours of super-powered gameplay action by players since its launch earlier this year. Starting later this year, gamers will be able to choose from three play options, including a free-to-play business model like SOE offers for Free Realms and EverQuest II Extended.

When firing up your PS3, you have a few options at your disposal besides simply playing the game you have inserted into your system. You can shop for some downloadable titles or even give a demo a shot in the Playstation Store, you can watch a movie or 2 on Netflix, or you can simply surf the net for a little bit. Another option that you may not really have taken advantage of is Playstation Home. In a nutshell, Home is a large internet chat room of sorts where you can hang out with other PS3 gamers and play a few games with them. However, it isn't something that a large share of PS3 owners have taken advantage of. Sony looks to change that with some big changes that will take place this fall.

The video game industry is starting to changes in the way it handles DLC, namely offering up packaged deals that can offer discounts such as the Rockstar Pass and the Mortal Kombat Season Pass. Sony is jumping on that bandwagon by offering the Playstation Network PLAY program, a group of 4 games that, upon purchase of all 4, will score you a free game in PAYDAY: The Heist, a game some have been raving about since its showing at E3. While getting a free game is always a good thing, the cost to get it seems a bit steep.

When it comes to 3D gaming, Sony is making a big push to be the leader in delivering a quality 3D experience to PS3 owners all over the world. At E3 this year, they announced a brand-new, 24" 3D TV to hit the stores and give people a 3D display at an affordable price of $499.99. I got a chance to see this display in action and can surely say that this new TV is quite the bargain, and still a really nice display even at a cheap price.

With the launch of the PS3, one of Sony's aims was to produce a large library of exclusive content to their newest console. To date, Sony internally owns 15 studios that have helped to develop exclusive titles such as LittleBigPlanet and God of War 3. This morning, a 16th studio was added to the list in Sucker Punch Productions. With the success of the Sly Cooper series and the recent inFAMOUS titles, Sony felt the need to acquire the studio and continue its push with more exclusive content in the future.

While Sony Online Entertainment won’t be doing its typical open house bash in conjunction with San Diego Comic-Con this year, it will have new content at its booth on the convention floor (Booth 4436). The game publisher will have playable never-before-seen Green Hornet DLC content for DC Universe Online, new levels for E3’s runaway hit PAYDAY: The Heist, and a graffiti-filled new demo of the new PSN title, Sideway.
