Sony Announces Full Playable PS3 Line-Up for TGS
With the palpable sense of disappointment spreading across this week's GCDC in Leipzig, it's good to have something to actually look forward to next month instead. Three things, in fact.

Firstly, Sony Computer Entertainment has announced the full list of 27 playable PS3 and PSP games which will be available to the general public at the Tokyo Game Show next month. And with no further ado:

PlayStation 3 playable titles:
Armored Core 4 (From Software)
Blade Storm Hyakunen Sensou (Koei)
Coded Arms Assault (Konami)
Devil May Cry 4 (Capcom)
The Eye of Judgment (Sony Computer Entertainment)
Fatal Inertia (Koei)
Formula One World Championship (working title) (Sony Computer Entertainment)
Genji (working title) (Sony Computer Entertainment)
"Gran Turismo" Series (Sony Computer Entertainment)
Heavenly Sword (Sony Computer Entertainment)
Lair (working title) (Sony Computer Entertainment)
Mahjong Taikai IV (Koei)
Minna no Golf 5 (working title) (Sony Computer Entertainment)
Mobile Suit Gundam: Target in Sight (Namco Bandai Games)
MotorStorm (Sony Computer Entertainment)
Railfan (Ongakukan)
Resistance: Fall of Man (Sony Computer Entertainment)
Ridge Racer 7 (Namco Bandai Games)
Warhawk (Sony Computer Entertainment)

PSP playable titles:
Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception (Namco Bandai Games)
Boxers Road 2: The Real (Ertain)
Gundam Battle Royale (Namco Bandai Games)
Homestar Portable (supports GPS) (Sega)
Jan-Sangokumusou (Koei)
Jeanne D'Arc (Sony Computer Entertainment)
Metal Gear Solid: Bande Dessinee [released in the US as Metal Gear Solid: Digital Graphic Novel] (Konami)
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (supports GPS) (Konami)
Minna no Golf-jou (supports GPS) (Sony Computer Entertainment)
Monster Hunter Portable 2nd (Capcom)
Navigation Software (working title, supports GPS) (Edia)
Ratchet and Clank Portable (working title) (Sony Computer Entertainment)
Sarugettchu Piposaru Racer (Sony Computer Entertainment)
Tales of the World Radiant Mythology (Namco Bandai Games)
Tenchi no Mon 2: Busouden (Sony Computer Entertainment)

So, SPOnG has almost had it with Leipzig. Unless we get some actual proper news announcements today, our guys will be coming home feeling mildly cheated. Thank heavens for the TGS.

On the Nintendo front, the company has announced a special press event on September 14 in the States and - SPOnG has just been informed this morning - we will be hearing some major announcements from Nintendo in Europe in the coming week. Finally.

Last - but by no means least - on the Microsoft front, it is of course their annual European Lager and Games festival in Barcelona at the end of the month, otherwise known as X06. Or, in the SPOnG office, 'That event where Stefan and Pat nearly carked it that year they went skinny dipping'.

SPOnG certainly looks forward to a busy September, with some definite and actual important news to report upon. For now though, stay tuned to see what SPOnG's stringers currently in place in the far flung corners of Scotland (EIEF) and Leipzig (GCDC) manage to unearth for us later today.

Devil may cry, lair, and resistance are the only things that excite me on that list.

Played motoro storm and warhawk and both seem like good solid games, but nothing terribly earth shattering.

Course to be fair MS didnt really have much of real worth to show this time last year (playable atleast)so kudos to sony for having atleast a few intriguing titles.

I'll give Sony credit that 10 or so of those PS3 playable titles are out of their own developer studios. I'm glad they are building their own IP up. Maybe they can afford to do more games than many other developers I guess.

Yeah, that list sounds like a PS2 list, a few sequels along with some stuff we don't know of yet. Roll on TGS so we can see the goods.

I was about to ream you hard but the next paragraph there did it for me. Condemned was the only exciting launch title for me. Sony has Lair, Gran Turismo, Devil May Cry 4, and more. So I find that commendable.
