Naughty Dog revealed yesterday that they have created a series of Valentine’s Day cards based upon their many games which fans can download for free in order to give to their video game loving significant others. The cards feature characters from Naughty Dog’s roster of titles such as “Uncharted” and the upcoming “The Last of Us.”

The year is quickly coming to a close, and while most are looking to party 2012 away, gaming personality, The Gamer’s Ghost, is closing the year with a 7-person deathmatch. Earlier this morning, the gaming enthusiast announced that he would be hosting an “Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception” deathmatch tournament on Dec 29, the Saturday before the year’s end.

Patch 1.13 is the biggest patch Naughty Dog has ever made. We are introducing the new Tournament System in the patch. Learn all about the ins and outs of the system from Robert Cogburn (Lead Multiplayer Designer) and Quentin Cobb (Game Designer). Be sure to visit www.naughtydog.com for more information.

Whenever someone makes a “Best PS3 games” list, Uncharted 3 (along with its predecessor) would definitely feature on it. Now, this excellent game has a Game of the Year edition, and here’s the trailer for it. It highlights some of the best moments from the game, including some great writing by Naughty Dog’s writers.

The Game of the Year Edition of Uncharted 3: Drake’s Fortune includes all the multiplayer DLC packs- 12 maps, forty character skins, co-op adventures and all the new modes that have recently been added on in the MP. The GOTY Edition is out now and you can purchase ts at any gaming retailing outlet. Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception came out November last year and was met with great critical acclaim and sales everywhere. We gave it a perfect 10/10, calling it “the biggest game of this year” and “one of the best reasons to own a PlayStation 3″. Read our full, in-deapth review here. [source]

Sony announced a second redesign to the PlayStation 3 during its press conference at the Tokyo Game Show Tuesday. The new model will be available in two colors. A “Charcoal Black” version will be available October 4 in Japan, in both 250 gigabyte and 500 gigabyte models. A 250 gigabyte “Classic White” version will be available November 22 in Japan.

The 250 gigabyte model will launch in North America September 25 for $269.99 in a bundle with Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception: Game of the Year Edition, and a $30 voucher for Dust 514. The 500 gigabyte model will be available on October 30th for $299. Sony teased a Assassin’s Creed 3 bundle with the 500 gigabyte version, but a release date and price were not included. According to Joystiq, the white model has not been announced for North America. The new system is 50 percent smaller than the original PlayStation 3, and 25 percent smaller and lighter than the current slim model. [SOURCE]

Naughty Dog’s announced a gigantic patch for Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception’s multiplayer component. The update – memorably dubbed version 1.13 – includes over 137 pieces of DLC, various gameplay fixes, and a new Tournaments mode. That’s all in addition to over 50 PlayStation Network Trophies. It's set to release later today.

You’ll be able to unlock the new DLC by earning in-game levels and completing various treasure sets. Alternatively, you’ll be given the option to purchase the content directly from the PlayStation Store. Meanwhile, the new Tournaments mode will allow you to compete in special matches with the aim of unlocking unique rewards. Anything you unlock will be offered to aid your progress in the next tournament.

Confusion surrounding new Uncharted 3 DLC has raised many questions and this in turn has amounted to Naughty Dog adding to an earlier response yet things do not seem much clearer at present. Back in January ND informed players on its blog that becoming a member of the Fortune Hunters’ Club would provide users with “all currently available and any upcoming DLC packs for Uncharted 3.”

In addition, an exclusive Fortune Hunters’ Club theme will be available to let you know when new Uncharted 3 DLC hits right from the XMB of your PlayStation 3. Highlighting the word “upcoming” Gaming Everything reported on the confusion and Naughty Dog’s response, as a fan questioned whether any future map/character DLC packs are expected and if FHC members will receive a discount.

By the end of this month, Naughty Dog intends to release patch 1.11 for Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception. This patch will resurrect the Lab, the popular feature introduced for Uncharted 2's multiplayer. As the name suggests, the Lab is a bit experimental. Naughty Dog's designers have concocted a number of slightly unusual game modes for online play. The first Lab mode, which will go live with the patch, will be a T-bolt and Pistole only match. Over time Naughty Dog will rotate in other game types.

The spiders of Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception are never properly explained in the game. Naughty Dog, the developer of the highly acclaimed PlayStation 3 title, left it for the readers to figure out. But we caught up with Richard Lemarchand, lead game designer, for a proper explanation. [We never did run this piece, but in honor of Lemarchand's departure from Naughty Dog today, we'll share it now.]

Like everyone else, we were been wondering what the whole secret was all about. Spiders have become the creepy non-human enemy of choice in so many games, so we wanted to get inside the developer’s view as to why they were such a big and mysterious part of Sony’s blockbuster game. The spiders are creepy, memorable, and enigmatic. When I played the game, I thought I had missed something explaining them, but Lemarchand says they were left unexplained on purpose.
