Most PS3
owners will be excited to know that so far the PS3 leads the
market for 3D entertainment in 2011 and that expansion and future
adoption on the console is looking very promising. With
newly-released titles such as Gran
Turismo 5, Killzone
3 and MLB
11: The Show, players
have already been introduced to the 3D experience and have seen how
it enhances the gameplay. The official PlayStation Blog reports that
there will be over 30 stereoscopic 3D titles available for the
console by the end of this year, including SOCOM
4: Navy Seals
and Uncharted 3:
Drake’s Deception.
Naughty Dog, the company behind the Uncharted
series, states that having 3D in their game helps to enhance depth of
field and some of the game’s shooting and cover mechanics.

Duke Nukem Forever Delayed Until June

Randy Pitchford isn’t too excited about it. Duke Nukem Forever, having been in the works since 1997, and one of the most notorious vaporware products ever, is seeing another month-long delay. No reason has been given for the delay, but a few believe it may be because of mediocre and mixed reactions to the demos shown at recent conferences and conventions. The good thing that came from this, however, is a hilarious video featuring Gearbox’s charismatic CEO.
