Sony may not have had anything big to announce regarding the PS3 hardware this week, but news about the console's software has continued to pour in. We heard stuff about the God of War III demo, the Uncharted movie (Wolverine as Nate Drake?), and this one scene in Modern Warfare 2 that's raised the hackles of a few. The Network got some attention as well, what with Netflix finally being confirmed and all. Oh, and that banned Resistance guy still hasn't given up on suing Sony. I guess some people just don't learn.

Nothing like a slew of big names to get the crowd going for ya. Be it in games, apps, or other forms of software, this week's batch has a big name on it. Let's see - Wolfenstein, Dracula, Metallica, Doom, NASA, iTunes, Blackra1n. Wouldn't want to miss those, so read up and stay informed.
