Not able to make it to San Diego for Comic Con? Then have no fear, Jeff Rubenstein of the PS Blog is over there bringing the CC to you. He’s scoping out Sony’s booths, checking out the crowds gathering to play LittleBigPlanet, SOCOM: Confrontation and Siren: Blood Curse (out today on PSN!), as well as those nice blue PSPs out next month. The only thing we wished we hadn’t seen was the tons of swag they’re giving away over there. If only we were still in California …

It’s not uncommon to hear parallels being drawn between Fallout 3 and Bethesda Softworks’ other big title: The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion; even if they are two very different games — one’s fantasy, the other is futuristic sci-fi. The image above is probably the only one out of this new bunch that gives any sort of resemblance to the medieval world of Oblivion. So let’s play a little game: can you spot the difference that truly points out that this screen could not have taken place in Oblivion? Look closely. Here’s the answer for the lazy: [transmission tower]

Other than that one pic, the rest of the new screenshots in our gallery below are definitely injected with the post apocalyptic vibe that Fallout is known for. Check them out for giant bazookas, mutant roaches, and … kids in party hats.

We don’t know much about the story of Mirror’s Edge, other than it’s written by Heavenly Sword and Overlord’s Rhianna Pratchett. EA has today announced that a prequel comic is in production in collaboration with DC Comics, to elucidate the pre-game story and get some more hype for the game going. As if it needs it.

The first issue of the series, which will be written by Rhianna Pratchett along with the game, is available exclusively at Comic Con. So if you’re in the San Diego area, stop by booth 5233 at the convention to grab the comic and try out the game first hand. Even if you don’t enjoy it, issue 1 will probably sell quite well on ebay. If you do make it to the show, make sure you stop by the PlayStation booth too, for lots more hands-on gaming opportunities.

Valley Newss typo

Monday’s edition of New Hampshire’s Valley News was the epitome of professional journalism, except for one tiny typo — the paper’s name on the front page.

As Homer Simpson would say, D’oh!

It seems that the most obvious place for an editor to, well, begin editing, was overlooked completely. The mistake was acknowledged in an Editor’s note the following day. The note ended with the editor saying “for the record: We sure feel silly.”

Don’t be so hard on yourselves guys and gals, it could have happened to anyone…maybe…sort of. [Source: Telegraph.co.uk]

Yes, we’re all bummed by WipEout HD’s epilepsy-related delay. However, we’re reminded of the old adage, “good things come to those who wait.” It appears that the team at Liverpool isn’t just sitting around. They’ve taken this time to add a number of new features to WipEout HD, most exciting of which must be Trophies. A SCEE representative told TVG that the delay has added “8 reverse tracks, 4 extra ships, 2 alternative HUDS, 2 Player offline split screen and XMB Trophy support.”

Wow, that’s a lot of added content. We’re excited for WipEout HD, and we’re glad to see more being added to the upcoming racer. Now, we all have to do just one thing: wait.

ARGO Medical Technologies’ ReWalk has been out a few months now, but it’s tough to really appreciate what this thing can do unless you see a patient utilize one on video. Hailed as a “quasi-robotic ambulation system,” the wearable device was specifically created to assist those with lower-limb disabilities and give them back upright mobility.

In the video waiting in the read link, one particular individual relies on the ReWalk to stand up and move about after being stricken to a wheelchair for 20 years — no need to take our word for it, though, real live proof is but a click away. [Source: Israel21c Via MedGadget]
