Did anyone else think that the Fracture demo wasn't as abysmal as you were expecting? Sure, it was the epitome of mediocre third-person action with a gimmick attached, but at times it was almost fun. Well the full game is out this week in both the US and Europe and, unless you're a European lego fan with vigilante tendencies, that's pretty much it. Oh, except for basketball. Lots of basketball. Here's the full release list:

US Games EU Games
 Asian Games
 Release dates are constantly subject to change, so be sure to check with your local retailer before making any sudden moves. Your PS3 will play games from any region, so go ahead and import anything you see above. Do be aware that DLC is locked to specific regions, though, so European games will require DLC from the Euro PSN Store. You may also be interested to know that NBA 09: The Inside is the only NBA game to support trophies.

Quite possibly the biggest feature for this year's NBA game from SCEA's San Diego Studios is the addition of The Life, a story a mode which chronicles the player's journey from the streets to the NBA. This first trailer highlighting the single player campaign looks pretty epic -- will this be able to differentiate itself from the other NBA games coming out this year?

Regardless of your enthusiasm for the sport, it's undeniable that Sony San Diego's first-party sports games on PS3 look incredible. MLB 08 The Show really took the series to the new generation and the upcoming NBA 09 The Inside looks to do the same. This time, The Inside goes beyond just standard ball games -- take a look at these new screenshots to see the other aspects of the game's most exciting mode, "The Life."

Sony is looking to repeat the success it found with MLB 08 The Show with NBA 09 The Inside. The first-party basketball game is being handled by SCEA San Diego Studios -- the same team that took care of the well-received MLB 08. Sony revealed new screens and talk new details about this upcoming basketball game, scheduled for release on PS3 on October 7th.

1080p and 60fps are being promised yet again for this realistic-looking sports game. The Inside adds a new mode for the PS3, "The Life," which offers players the ability to see life inside the NBA through a story-based campaign. Franchise Mode is expanded upon greatly, with a new focus on performance and player morale. Stats will be tracked on a variety of levels, such as salary, playing time, trades, team performance

Other features include the return of NBA Replay, which allows players to relive great basketball performances from the '07-'08 season, and upcoming downloadable NBA games from the '08-'09 season. In addition to a boost in AI, online functionality will be expanded upon. Expect to easily show off customizable characters and improved leaderboards.

The graphics have, as expected, been improved, and Havok physics has been implemented as well. Two min-games will round out this incredibly fully-featured basketball package. Check out the first screens:

Dozens win free PS3 systems at NBA All Star Skills Challenge

Wow, what an incredible night for these lucky fans at the NBA All Star Skills Challenge. Everyone from section 331 of the stadium was treated to a free 40GB PS3 and a copy of NBA 08. That must be one of the most feel-good things we've seen in quite some time. Congrats to them.

But look closer at the picture. Notice the section next to them? (We'll call them section 332.) Notice the sad expressions they carry? It must feel horrible to think: "if only I sat a few seats down ... "

Worldwide PS3 releases for week of May 22nd

Ready for your weekly worldwide PS3 releases? Good. Here they are:

US Games
 EU Games
 Asian Games
A game for each territory this week. Aren't we lucky. Ready to get started on some hardcore 1080p pirating? My brain has a habit of glossing over any mention of franchise-based games, so I'll probably be giving this one a miss. Let me know if I should reconsider.

Don't forget that the PS3 is region free, so feel free to choose any of the above list as your next purchase. Maybe you're a huge Pirates of the Caribbean fan and fancy playing a copy from each territory? It could happen, I suppose. And yes, I will be reminding you that the PS3 can read discs from any country every week. It's so easy to forget.

Release dates are subject to change, as always.

NBA Live 07 to be launch title, Mavericks win Finals

If you're a basketball aficionado you may be interested to know that NBA Live 07 is slated to be one of EA's lineups for the PS3 launch. By "one of" I'm of course alluding to their tendency to include an army of sports games for November and the Sony console as well. You may also be interested in the fact that they've predicted who will take the cake in the NBA Finals coming up via their NBA Live 07 simulation (though we don't know for which console). Hope this doesn't ruin anything for you, but it's Dallas Mavericks over the Heat.

Sorry Miami fans.
