Meanwhile, talking about computer games, watch out, it seems that the 3D revolution is about to begin with Playstation3 promising to go 3D this Summer according to the Thurles top International Gaming Website thegamingliberty.com run by Joseph Murphy and Shane Willoughby. They claim that all those rumours about 3D Firmwares look like they could be true. According to Qore over on the US PSN, a plethora of titles including Killzone 2, Wipeout Fury HD, Super Stardust HD, Gran Turismo 5 and LittleBigPlanet are going 3D.
This could potentially be the start of something huge, especially if more developers jump on the 3D bandwagon.
A happy Easter Weekend to all our viewers.
 Enter our competition and win the games “Dragon Age” (PC) and “Army Of Two:The 40th Day” (PSP)!
The question is “What new game release will feature a song by Leona Lewis?”

 For Santa or indeed parents not familiar with the current gaming trends the information supplied hereunder will be more than helpful.
Playstation 3
Sony’s black juggernaut, the Playstation 3 had a stellar 2009. If their competitors can be accused of faltering slightly in the last year, the PS3 can only be applauded for its dedication to revitalizing and strengthening its brand and consumer likability. After a price cut and a sleek redesign, the PS3 is probably the cheapest and most accessible multifunctional multimedia devise available out there this Christmas. Apart from games and free online play, the PS3 comes with a Blu-Ray drive as standard for the best film watching quality, a web browser, compatibility with PSP and enough hard-drive space (125 GB or 250 GB) to save a plethora of photos, games, music and movies. The PS3 does everything. Here all TGL’s three PS3 picks for Christmas;
1: Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.
Uncharted 2 is the jewel in the PS3’s crown. Arguably the most graphically complete and stunningly rendered game ever made, Uncharted 2 puts you in the shoes of Nathan Drake, a descendant of Sir Francis Drake and a would be Indiana Jones treasure hunter. Uncharted 2 is an exciting and explosive title which sees you traverse the globe in search of the ancient Cintanami Stone of Shambhala. It should be a compulsory purchase for any PS3 owner.

Video gaming is big business in Ireland and the character and weight of the industry grows more and more each year. Gaming has penetrated the mainstream and has become a near daily source of entertainment for so many. More and more children, young adults and even older generations are turning to their home consoles to play games, watch movies, listen to music or simply surf the Internet.
 So with a booming gaming industry and an ever expanding fascination with the Internet in Ireland, it might come as a surprise to hear that the many thousands of video gamers on these shores don’t really have a voice or a online forum in which they can be heard or represented. TheGamingLiberty.com is a Irish website which hopes to change all this and is quickly becoming Ireland’s most formidable and recognized Irish Gaming Website.
The Gaming Liberty is the brainchild of Joseph Murphy and Thurles born Shane Willoughby, two dedicated gamers who recognized the need to create something that would best represent the needs of the average Irish Gamer. Shane and Joseph both decided to create the website earlier this year and envisaged the creation of a dedicated one stop destination for the Irish gaming community. Since the sites launch, The Gaming Liberty has enjoyed some considerable successes, due mostly to the sheer drive and ambition of both the site’s creators.
The Gaming Liberty primarily caters to the needs of its Irish based community, but also to the needs of the seemingly infinite international gaming population. Put simply, it is a site designed for gamers, by gamers and is updated daily to include all the latest and greatest in news, previews, reviews and interviews within the gaming industry.
Wondering what PlayStation 3 game to buy this Christmas ? Well according to TheGamingLiberty.com it’s got to be ‘Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, one of Sony‘s flagship exclusive Playstation 3 titles which promises to be a big seller this Christmas and is one of The Gaming Liberty’s big stocking filler recommendations in the run up to the festive season.
The site is live and is really worth checking out. You can sign up and join its community. If you’re into games then this is the place to be.
Like Joseph and Shane told Thurles.Info “You now have a voice, so be sure you use it”.
