The SBK X demo features one track, Portimao, home of the Portugal round of Superbike and Supersport, in all four weather configurations. Two riders for two bike categories ( Superbike and Supersport) will be playable: Max Biaggi, who’s fighting hard for the championship in SBK this year with his Aprilia RSV4, and Cal Crutchlow, 2009 Supersport World Champion, on his Yamaha R6.
The game looks interesting, plus it seems that Sony will go a-la Guild Wars model (buy the client no monthly fee) or totaly free with an hybrid system, or the classic cash shop…
Following some trailers…
The Champions Online demo offers unlimited playtime in the game’s first zone (Millennium City under alien attack), two character slots, and the ability to play up to level 15. Meet other Champions and help save Millennium City from a Qularr invasion.

Dolphin is a Gamecube, Wii and Triforce (the arcade machine based on the Gamecube) emulator.
Gamecube compatibility is okay-ish – lots of games work, many games don’t work.
Wii compatibility is not quite as good as the Gamecube compatibility, but many games are playable, and lots of games are showing intros and more.
Triforce compatibility is not really known yet, but at least one game runs, with minor glitches.
This is a working Wii Emulator with a lot of people involved in the project!
DC Comics Universe Online NO Monthly Fee?
DC Universe Online is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) set in the DC Universe. SOE hopes to make a different kind of MMORPG, with The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction being cited as one of the main inspirations for gameplay. SOE is working to make DC Universe Online more interactive than standard MMORPGs, while trying to keep key elements of RPGs, which include a leveling system and inventories. The world is mainly shared, public space instead of heroes or villains owning territory. The public space features dynamically-generated content designed for both hero and villain player characters (uniquely created by the player, who cannot choose DCU stalwarts), which may lead to interesting Player Versus Player battles.
It is known that players choose a city of origin for their character, the currently known cities being Metropolis and Gotham City. Another location currently known to be in the game is Arkham Asylum, Gotham City’s mental institution for criminals (including a number of Batman’s more psychopathic enemies, such as the Joker, Poison Ivy, the Riddler, and Two-Face). The character is given either a Justice League or a Legion of Doom communicator – depending on their choice of playing as either a hero or a villain – and the character’s allegiance will affect how the game is played; for example, a hero character may encounter a thug robbing an armored truck while a villain character will instead rob (or, depending on character level, assist in the robbing of) said armored truck. It is also known that player characters have threat ratings which will cause both heroes and villains alike to interact accordingly with the character.
DC Universe Online or DCUO is a MMORPG being developed by Sony Online Austin. Jim Lee serves as the game’s Executive Creative Director, along with Carlos D’Anda, JJ Kirby, Oliver Nome, Eddie Nunez, Livio Ramondelli, and Michael Lopez. EverQuest developers Chris Cao and Shawn Lord are also involved. When asked whether the game would require a monthly subscription to play, or free to play, Sony’s Wes Yanagi gave OneLastContinue a very strong impression that they are leaning towards the expansion-pack business model, as opposed to the traditional subscription fee although such matters hadn’t been solidified yet over at Sony Online Entertainment.
According to various website the new mmo superhero game from SONY will have no monthly fee, after buying the game it will be free to play, a similar business model like Guild Wars. These are just rumors, btw i think wouldn’t be bad to do a trip to Metropolis or Gotham City.
The game has been scheduled for release between late 2009 and early 2010.
Recently i watched the movie Watchmen, everything about this movie is amazing, from the story (Which is based on a DC comic series books published in 1987), great actors, great visuals, 300 style (same director).
A masterpiece? Probably. Oh and don’t forget the music.
