With the PS3 and PSP able to access the internet, it’s a safe bet that internet security will become a concern sooner or later and Trend Micro has offered an option for the Playstation 3 and Playstation Portable since November of 2007.
They are now offering a new service which is called Trend Micro Kids’ Safety that will block access to sites which are not safe for kids such as adult theme based websites.

Batman: Arkham Asylum
I’ve played the demo version of Batman: Arkham Asylum on the PS3 at Frys Electronics and the game is beautiful in it’s graphics quality, fast action, and easy use of the PS3 controller to play the game.
Better news is that, Batman: Arkham Asylum for the Playstation 3 will offer a download version on June 23, the release date of the game, which will let you play as The Joker in what is called Challenge Maps.
I expect the Xbox 360 will have a similar release or the same release sometime after the PS3 version, probably for a download fee like other games that have offered exclusive characters and later offered for a fee on other consoles.
Right now, I’m not sure what my current employment status is, with this recession, the company is looking at cutting costs and I might be one to get cut.
I am currently working on getting another position, which hopefully will be more stable within the company.
As such, my mind has been preoccupied with my future job prospect.
So this is it for my post today. Thanks for understanding.
Not since your last fishing game in Nintendo’s Legend of Zelda did you have a hankering to spend hours on end trying to catch that big fish.
Thanks to Griffin International who has developed the fishing game called “The Strike” for the Xbox 360, you will be able to just that!
The game will feature realistic lake bottoms, ai fish behavior that mimics real fish, customizable characters, and your choice of lures to use.
The game is sponsored by the Bass Pro Shops.
The game will cost $69.99 and includes the rod pictured above and will be available for the Xbox 360, Wii, and the PC sometime later this year.
The Bluetooth Special Interest Group has announced new standards for their upcoming Bluetooth 3.0 which could see it’s way into game consoles like the Nintendo Wii and Sony Playstation 3.
As the PS3 and Wii both utilize Bluetooth in it’s current configuration, adding the new chipset for 3.0 for future releases might be an easy thing to do.
The 3.0 standard will allow for wireless transfer of data up to 24mbps allowing for high-definition video streaming as an example.

In some fun news, GamePolitics reported last week about Electronic Arts sending their Godfather 2 press kit which included…Brass Knuckles.
Godfather II
No comments are given by EA but they have been contacting the press departments that were sent the illegal brass knuckles and telling them, “I hope you’re enjoying our Godfather II press kit, including the novelty brass knuckles. To help you take proper care to dispose of the item, we’re sending you a pre-paid shipping package.”
Truly a bad marketing idea from some PR person at EA.
The CEO of GameStop, Dan DeMatteo told CNBC during an interview on April 15, that Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony to cut the price of it’s game consoles, especially Sony.
Dan believes the price cut of the PS2 by Sony is a little too late, since publishers will not create any more games for the PS2, once they’ve stopped development, it’s stopped.
The CEO of GameStop might know something about it, since his company has reported earnings of $232 million for the forth-quarter, which is 22.4% up from previous forth-quarter earnings last year.
