Courtesy of our friends at G4TV, Sony Entertainment's entire press conference at GDC can be viewed live, in your browser, tonight. This is great news for those of us who don't have cable, and those of us who do, but lack that station. Find out where after the jump.

Did you enjoy Final Fantasy 11 online?  I personally found it to be one of the most boring games I've ever been convinced of buying and paying monthly for.  That's just me, though. It's still going strong today and we even have a few community members still playing it on and off.  Apparently they addressed the boring parts, but I won't believe it until I see it.  What about the new Final Fantasy MMORPG you ask?  Hit the jump to read more about it and sign up.

Most human beings have thought about killing someone. The rest are liars. However not everyone has thought about killing someone in a creative and gruesome way. If you happen to be one of the rare few who have, you have a chance to have your kill featured in the upcoming Dead Space 2 game. 

But wait! There's more! Along with your Necromorph killing skills, your own likeness will also be featured in the highly anticipated sequel. Hit the jump to find out how to enter.

If you've been playing Battlefield: Bad Company 2 non stop like the majority of Couch Athletics, there's no doubt you've run into several issues trying to log in, stay connected, and generally play the game online.  Most developers keep a tight lip as to what the cause is on their end but Dice played a different card by giving fans a rare look into what's going on and what they are doing about it via a post on their blog.  More detail after the break.

Quantic Dream doesn't want you calling Heavy Rain a game. By self definition, they are referring to it as "Interactive Fiction." Since its unveiling at E3 2006, the game that plays more like a movie has been on most gamers' radars. Being a big fan of Fahrenheit, Quantic Dream's previous offering, this was a game I did not want to miss. But how would it hold up on its release? Is "interactive fiction" something that we would want to play? Or would it just be an extra long, bad movie? Press on to find out!

Capcom released it's latest batch of DLC for 2009's co-op action-horror hit, Resident Evil 5, with "Desperate Escape" on the PS3 & Xbox 360 for $5 or 400 Microsoft space points.  Unlike the last offering, "Lost In Nightmares," this scenario takes place during the events of Resident Evil 5, detailing Jill Valentine & Josh Stone's story right after Jill is rescued by Chris.  In addition, more characters for "Mercenaries Reunion" come with this DLC pack letting players assume the role of Resident Evil 0 star Rebecca Chambers in addition to Josh.  For $5, this pack sounds well worth it.

The Mega Man franchise is one of the most recognized names in gaming. Since the character’s creation in 1987, there have been over fifty titles bearing the Mega Man name with sales exceeding the population of Malaysia. It is also one of my personal favorite series. I celebrated when Capcom released Mega Man 9, but I remained skeptical of their ability to bottle lightning a second time. Did the latest entry live up to its lineage? Find out after the jump.
