June Update: PlayStation 6 and PlayStation Portable future visions

 The recent PlayStation video about the "simulated" technology in development, discussed between AMD and Sony engineers that will power the PlayStation 6 was interesting from a geek point of view. But from a gameplay perspective, there is - IMO - no need for a PlayStation 6 for another few years. Especially with the limp Xbox is-it-isn't-it launch .  June 2026 Update : The latest snippet of gossip for Sony's next-gen systems is a modular/external drive that will connect to both devices.

Assassin's Creed III Liberation scores now coming out

Kotaku - Yes
Just Push Start – 8.7/10
Gaming Trend - 84%
Game Informer – 7.75/10
Hardcore Gamer 4/5
IGN – 7.2/10
Games Radar 3/5
1UP - "C"
Cheat CC 4.8/5

These come hot on the heels of Need for Speed scores, which I think was looking the better bet.
