PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale (PS3 - Holiday 2012)

You can find a great interview on the PS3 brawler with the game’s director, Omar Kendall, as well as some footage for your eyes to munch on over at the PlayStation blog.

Kendall claims his studio and staff were handpicked for having the most experience in the fighting genre and I sincerely hope they put it to good use.  The gameplay looks to paint a target on the casual gamer’s forehead (much so to the point I’m shocked Move support hasn’t been loudly announced yet), but wouldn’t it be a helluva thing if there was a tech-heavy fighter beneath All-Stars’ kiddy veneer?

Developer Superbot also makes mention on the PS blog that a bigger reveal is slated for this year’s E3.

Kaz Hirai, Sony’s Executive Deputy President, finally dispelling rumors of the PS4’s announcement at E3 2012.  This news is a crushing blow to consumers distraught over having hundreds of dollars lined up in their wallet with nowhere to go.

A series of limited edition pin ‘medals’ that celebrate the memories of endless epic battles, infinite high scores and numerous blistered fingers.

They are listed at 18€ each, which is @ USD$24. This would make a great Christmas gift for any gamer.

Just supporting the Dreamcast before it fell in battle should earn you its respective medal.
