Hey, video gaming on mobile devices is one of the fastest growing segments in the industry.
With the gazillion iPads sold, not to mention all those smart phones, it's no wonder why.
I downloaded Dead Nation earlier, one of the free games available as part of Sony's Welcome Back campaign. From watching videos and reading about the game, I thought it was like Left 4 Dead but after playing the game a little bit I'm reminded of the old Contra games.
Anyone other PS3 gamers here getting Dead Nation? Also what other games do you plan to get? I'll also be getting Wipeout HD, Infamous, and Little Big Planet. I forgot I had created a second PSN account so I could practice different characters in Street Fighter, so now I can get 4 free games, two for each account.

LulzSec Leaks Hundreds of Classified Arizona Police Documents in Attack Against Border Patrol
Sam Biddle \ Lashing out against the "racial profiling anti-immigrant police state that is Arizona," LulzSec has released their newest data dump: "hundreds of private intelligence bulletins, training manuals, personal email correspondence, names, phone numbers, addresses and passwords belonging to Arizona law enforcement."
The release, entitled "Chinga La Migra" (Fuck the Border Patrol) is the first time LulzSec's purported to release personal information of government agents, rather than just disrupting their websites (see: CIA, US Senate). This is a powerful move. Home addresses are home addresses\about as personal as personal data gets. LulzSec's also clearly placed a political motive behind this thrust, as opposed to the HACK HACK LMAO ethos we've seen before.
And LulzSec says this is just the start:
A politically radicalized LulzSec is a big step away from the crew that was pissed off about videogames.

Every week we plan on releasing more classified documents and embarassing [sic] personal details of military and law enforcement in an effort not just to reveal their racist and corrupt nature but to purposefully sabotage their efforts to terrorize communities fighting an unjust "war on drugs".

Man Dies After 12-Hour Xbox Marathon

In the latest example of "everything in moderation," too much Xbox-playing may have led to a young British man's death.
Twenty-year-old Chris Staniforth, who reportedly played the game "Halo" on his Xbox for up to 12 hours at a time, died in May from deep vein thrombosis, a condition triggered by sitting for extremely long periods of time. A coroner said that there was a blood clot that formed in Staniforth's leg that moved up to his lungs to cause a fatal pulmonary embolism, the New York Daily News reported.
Deep vein thrombosis usually occurs among people who have to sit on a long-haul flight, according to the Mayo Clinic. Symptoms include swelling in the leg where the blood clot originates, followed by shortness of breath, chest pain and dizziness.
"After my research I saw there was no difference to Chris sitting at a desk on his Xbox and someone on a long-haul flight," Staniforth's father, David, told BBC News.
In a statement, Xbox manufacturer Microsoft said that it encourages gamers to take breaks from playing, BBC News reported.
While David Staniforth said he is not against playing video games, he wants to warn children and parents that playing for too long of a time without breaks can be dangerous and have health consequences, The Daily Mail reported.
