Biological Conservation
Biological Conservation has as its main purpose the widest dissemination of original papers dealing with the preservation of wildlife and the conservation or wise use of biological and allied natural resources. It is concerned with plants and animals and their habitats in a changing and increasingly man–dominated biosphere – in fresh and salt waters as well as on land and in the atmosphere. Biological Conservation publishes field studies, analytical and modeling studies and review articles. While its main basis is ecological the journal aims at fostering other relevant aspects of biological conservation and hopes thereby to encourage more research and publication of work which contributes to our knowledge and understanding of wildlife communities and their value to mankind.
The journal's coverage of the discipline of conservation ecology is relevant to universities and research institutes while the emphasis on the practical application of the research results is important to all land managers, from those dealing with landscape design problems to those whose concern is nature reserve management.
Journal of Biology is an international journal that publishes biological research articles of exceptional interest, together with associated commentary. Original research articles that are accepted for publication are published in full on the web within two weeks, are immediately made freely available to all, and are also distributed in a print edition sent to several thousand life scientists. Articles from the full spectrum of biology are appropriate for consideration, provided they are of outstanding interest and importance. (As a guide, the journal will consider articles of a standard similar to those published in Nature, Science or Cell.)
Conservation Genetics
Conservation Genetics promotes the conservation of genetic diversity by providing a forum where data and ideas can be presented, facilitating the further development of this field of study. Contributions come from researchers in a variety of fields including population genetics, molecular ecology and biology, evolutionary biology, and systematics, to name just a few.

Including the latest papers from all branches of zoology, it gives up-to-date information on aspects such as taxonomy, zoogeography, ecology, physiology, anatomy, genetics, palaeontology and biometry, and covers all groups of crustacea. Boasting a large international circulation, Crustaceana takes care to supply its readers with an abstract of each article in both English and another congress language.
Current Biology
Current Biology publishes articles in any area of biology, provided that the research clearly represents an important advance of especially broad interest to biologists. Articles must be written and illustrated in a way that is appropriate for nonspecialist readers. Articles should normally occupy 4-10 pages of the journal; there are about 900 words or 40 references to a full page. Brevity is a virtue except when it is at the expense of essential information. Current Biology also publishes Reports: short papers reporting results that are of genuinely broad interest but that for one reason or another do not make a sufficiently complete story to justify publication as a full Article. Authors are welcome to suggest that their paper be considered as a Report if they feel it is suitable for that format. Reports should occupy no more than five pages of the journal.

The Virtual Journal of Geobiology is available exclusively on the Web. It is a virtual journal in that it lists articles with a geobiological component recently published in a wide range of Elsevier Science journals. The articles are personally selected by the editor, Professor Lee Kump, on the basis of their potential to highlight interesting and important developments in the area of geobiology.
Geobiology is emerging as a new subject at the many interfaces between modern biology and the various fields of Earth and space sciences. Yet, there remains uncertainty and discussion about the origin of the current interest in this area. Has it to do with fashion or obtaining research funding, with breaking down barriers between traditional disciplines, or with attempts to revitalise Earth and planetary sciences in the universities? Is it a dynamic new field, a new name for an old subject, or just a short-lived excitement that will soon die away?
Hydrobiologia publishes original articles in the fields of fundamental limnology and marine biology. A wide range of papers is published, including ecology, physiology, biogeography, methodology and taxonomy. Applied (technological) papers are also published, provided they are of general interest and not solely technical in nature. Occasionally very long papers, reviews and special issues are published at the invitation of the Editors, as are the proceedings of relevant, specialized symposia, e.g. Seaweed Symposia; Saline Lakes Symposia; Sediment/Water Interactions Symposia; Rotifer Symposia; Aquatic Oligochaete Biology Symposia; Turbellaria Symposia; Symposia on Copepoda and Cladocera; Tropical Limnology/high-latitude Limnology Symposia; and recently North Sea-Estuaries Interactions; Phosphorus in Freshwater Ecosystems and Expected Effects of Climatic Change on Marine Coastal Ecosystems.

Among the specific fields included are population dynamics and distribution, evolutionary ecology, ecological genetics, theoretical models, conservation biology, agroecosystem studies, and bioresource management. brief notes on both empirical and theoretical investigations, as well as comments on previously published papers, are published as Notes and Comments. Discussions on new concepts, analyses, and data are published in Forum. Special Features, collections of research articles and reviews organized by the editors, are published periodically and focus on specific research topics.
Progress in Oceanography
Progress in Oceanography publishes the longer, more comprehensive papers that most oceanographers feel are necessary, on occasion, to do justice to their work. Contributions are generally either a review of an aspect of oceanography or a treatise on an expanding oceanographic subject. The articles cover the entire spectrum of disciplines within the science of oceanography. Occasionally volumes are devoted to collections of papers and conference proceedings of exceptional interest. Essential reading for all oceanographers.
Review of Hydrobiology
A Journal Covering all Aspects of Limnology and Marine Biology. Throughout the decades, the development of water ecology has been reflected in this journal: the analysis and assessment of biological structures in water in their interconnection with the internal and external cycle of materials. Today the articles reflect the journal's title: Hydrobiology - the science of life processes in water. It is international, forming the basis for relevant decisions in politics and society, since mankind is dependent on water in so many ways. An international team of scientists guarantees the international character and comprehensive coverage of this journal.
Science is a weekly, peer-reviewed journal that publishes significant original scientific research, plus reviews and analyses of current research and science policy. Our offices in Washington, D.C., and Cambridge, U.K., welcome submissions from all fields of science and from any source.
Science of the Total Environment
The journal is primarily an international medium for the publication of research into those changes in the environment caused by man's activities. Specifically, it is concerned with the changes in the natural level and distribution of chemical elements and compounds which may affect the well-being of the living world, and ultimately harm man himself. emphasis is given to applied environmental chemistry and environmental health.
Sea Research
The Journal of Sea Research is an international and multidisciplinary periodical on marine research, with an emphasis on marine ecosystems. This field should be seen in its widest sense, including both biotic and abiotic aspects of all types of marine and estuarine systems, benthic as well as pelagic. Apart from quality, the main criterion for selection of papers will be whether they contribute to the understanding of the functioning of marine systems. As several subdisciplines add to this aim, manuscripts are welcome from the fields of marine biology, marine geology, marine chemistry, and physical oceanography, provided they are not only descriptive. Although the emphasis is on fundamental research, papers describing important and relevant new techniques, methods and apparatus will also be considered.
Systematics and Biodiversity
Systematics and Biodiversity is an international life science journal devoted to whole-organism biology, especially systematics and taxonomic biodiversity. It emphasizes the importance and multi-disciplinary significance of systematics. It records the diversity of organisms through descriptive taxonomic papers. The underlying basis of biodiversity is addressed directly and indirectly, through studies of taxonomic relationships, and of growth, form, adaptation and function, and through analysis and synthesis of biodiversity patterns in time and space, especially with respect to environmental and human factors. Coverage also includes relevant theory and methodology, and conservation biology.
Theoretical Biology
The Journal of Theoretical Biology is the leading forum for theoretical papers that give insight into biological processes. It covers a very wide range of topics and is of interest to biologists in many areas of research. Many of the papers make use of mathematics, and an effort is made to make the papers intelligible to biologists as a whole. Experimental material bearing on theory is acceptable. Comment on theoretical issues or on papers published in the journal is welcomed in the form of Letters to the Editors. The Journal of Theoretical Biology now operates receiving offices in San Diego and London ensuring faster publication times for papers.
The ScientificWorld
A 'Journal of many Journals', TheScientificWorldJOURNAL is organized as a matrix of overlapping Domains. Each Domain has its own Editorial Board of distinguished scientists acting as Editors and Board Members. Articles published in TheScientificWorldJOURNAL are published simultaneously in all relevant Domains to promote inter-disciplinary exchange. Domains within related subject areas are organized into Clusters (Cell Biology, Environmental/Ecological Sciences, Genetics/Genomics/Proteomics, Pharmacology/Pharmaceutics, and Physiological/Health Sciences).
Trends in Ecology & Evolution
Now the highest-cited journal in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Trends in Ecology & Evolution contains polished, concise and readable reviews, opinions and letters in all areas of ecology and evolutionary science. It serves as an invaluable source of information for researchers, lecturers, teachers, field workers and students. Trends in Ecology & Evolution keeps these scientists informed of new developments and ideas across the full range of ecology and evolutionary biology - from the pure to the applied, and from molecular to global. Now, more than ever before, is it necessary for life scientists to be aware of research from a wide range of disciplines, especially in the face of the gathering momentum of global environmental change and destruction. More than any other journal, Trends in Ecology & Evolution is the major forum for coverage of all the important issues concerning organisms and their environments.
Water, Air, & Soil Pollution - An International Journal of Environmental Pollution
Water, Air, & Soil Pollution (WASP) is an international, interdisciplinary journal on all aspects of pollution and solutions to pollution in the biosphere. This includes chemical, physical and biological processes affecting flora, fauna, water, air and soil in relation to environmental pollution. Because of its scope, the subject areas are diverse and include all aspects of pollution sources, transport, deposition, accumulation, acid precipitation, atmospheric pollution, metals, aquatic pollution including marine pollution and ground water, waste water, pesticides, soil pollution, sewage, sediment pollution, forestry pollution, effects of pollutants on humans, vegetation, fish, aquatic species, micro-organisms, animals, ecological implications of pollution and pollution models. Water, Air, & Soil Pollution also publishes manuscripts on methods used in the study of environmental pollutants, environmental toxicology, environmental biology, environmental engineering related to pollution, biodiversity as influenced by pollution, environmental biotechnology as applied to pollution (e.g. bioremediation), environmental modeling and biorestoration of polluted environments. Water, Air, & Soil Pollution publishes research letters (short communications of significant research generally not exceeding six journal pages), regular papers, reviews and book reviews. Special and topical issues are published in the companion journal Water, Air, & Soil Pollution: Focus.
Water, Air, & Soil Pollution: Focus
Water, Air, & Soil Pollution: Focus (WAFO) is a companion journal to Water, Air, & Soil Pollution. Water, Air, & Soil Pollution is an international, interdisciplinary journal on all aspects of pollution and solutions to pollution in the biosphere. This includes chemical, physical and biological processes affecting flora, fauna, water, air and soil in relation to environmental pollution. Because of its scope, the subject areas are diverse and include all aspects of pollution sources, transport, deposition, accumulation, acid precipitation, atmospheric pollution, metals, aquatic pollution including marine pollution and ground water, waste water, pesticides, soil pollution, sewage, sediment pollution, forestry pollution, effects of pollutants on humans, vegetation, fish, aquatic species, micro-organisms, animals, ecological implications of pollution and pollution models.

WAFO publishes special and topical issues where WASP publishes research letters (short communications of significant research generally not exceeding six journal pages), regular papers, reviews and book reviews. The scientific scopes of both journals are the same.
Wetlands Ecology & Management
(as of 2000, incorporating 'Mangroves and Salt Marshes')
Wetlands Ecology and Management is an international journal that publishes original articles in the field of wetlands ecology, the science of the structure and functioning of wetlands for their transformation, utilization, preservation and management on a sustainable basis. The journal covers both pure and applied science dealing with biological, physical and chemical aspects of freshwater, brackish and marine coastal wetlands. The journal aims to encourage the exchange of information between environmental managers, local and national authorities and scientists by providing a forum for papers dealing with scientifically-based management issues around all types of wetlands.
Besides original research papers, discussion papers and short reports, the journal will occasionally include invited review papers on topical subjects. Book reviews, notices of scientific meetings and special issues, arising from chosen scientific symposia or workshops, or as a collection of papers on special topics, will also be published.
WWW Journal of Biology
The primary purpose of this journal is to create an open forum for rapid interactive peer reviewed information exchange in the biological sciences. The journal encourages articles from both plant and animal biological sciences. In general the journal is open to quality articles from any discipline of the biological sciences.
Since its foundation in 1830, the traditional aims of the Journal of Zoology have been to publish research on taxonomy and on descriptions of new species of animals. However, with the proliferation of specialist journals, which cater for these important but specialist topics, the Editors have redirected the focus of the Journal to publish hypothesis-driven research that will be of greater interest to the general reader in zoology. Apart from the exclusion of papers of only specialist interest, the Journal will continue to publish original research and reviews within the whole field of zoology, and it will continue to provide information on the latest trends and developments in this ever-expanding subject.

Gamepro just released this new batch of Ninja Theory's upcoming beat-em all for the PS3, Heavenly Sword.
I was just about to submit this, hah. It's too bad they're so small.
....can't breath....so proud of the ninjas. Wahhh...and the great thing is! It's HS week on gamepro! SOmething new every day. gameplay footage!?
I'm so sorry for doubting Sony marketting again.
Look at her in-game playable face...looks like their research into eye specular has paid off as well. Look at the lovely scenery - the grass and flowers and so many enemies! The shadows and the colours look great...ps3 games washed out my ass. (oooh that last sentence sounds strange...wouldn't need to go to woolworths then..)
You're the only person that is obsessed with this game on the same level as me. I've been watching this damn game for over two years now and the anticipation just grows with every bit of info. The shot of Nariko over the hundreds of soldiers has exciting potential! The shifting release dates are definitely driving me crazy though...
Same here. I've always said it's about the games and I'll tell you this now. If HS was on the 360 I'd pick it over the ps3. Really this game is what dreams are made of lol.
I'm going to cambridge now to go and get a hands on test! Not too far for me. Dang. DOn't hype, don't hype. Calm.
Looks average... q: LOL no demo for a while figboy, it only entered Alpha last month.
Gene sounds like we have the same taste in games. I also can't wait for this or uncharted...David Jaffe said personally that Uncharted was breathtaking! hehe.
Note: I love these screens as they show of the scenery, but they are missing the bloom and HDR of previous gameplay...I'm sure that's coming back, and these are great to show the quality of the scenery and the colour to dispell the "ps3 games are washed out and uncolourful"...it also shows off the great shadows...really just look at the soft shadows on everything and the lighting of Nariko. It does look amazing...just want to see those Bloom affects back, because they gave a real atmosphere.
the environments are stunning and detailed, the scenery is grand, and the amount of enemies on screen is going to be just spectacular. they've also improved the texture of her hair.
this game is evrything i hoped it would and more
OH MY GOSH you can even see the ditail on the persons foot on PIC #8
i'm just as obsessed, if not moreso, with Heavenly Sword than you also!
it doesn't help that i actually got to get my hands on it for 3 oh so brief minutes at E3 last year.
oh, Nariko, you c*cktease you!
Sony really needs to get a demo out for this game asap. like, this month.
i know the Ninja Gaiden Sigma demo is hitting this month (man, i can't wait for that one either), but a Heavenly Sword, Lair, and Warhawk demo would really be a kick in the pants for the PS3.
it *NEEDS* demos of upcoming potentially AAA games, instead of demos of games that have been released already.
on topic, HS looks great, and i can't wait. i'm really hoping it doesn't come out in September like what's been rumored. a July release would be golden.
Getting to play a demo of this game and having to wait as long as you have thus far would be torture... I'm going crazy and I've just seen pictures and the few videos. These screenshots are so great cause they actually show off scenes that we havent seen before! I feel like the last year has been so sparse in terms of new HS goodness so this batch of screens is just amazing. Its scary how good this game is starting to look. I loved the 2005 vs 2007 comparison photos. This and Uncharted are without a doubt my most looked forward to games of the year.
OH MY GOD , these screen shots just gave me goose bumps. i cant believe nariko strated out looking like a jap anime character but look at her now. her hair is no longer so choppy and the skin textures look off the hook.(look at the toes.) her face looks less asian inspired and she actually has a butt now. PLEASE give me more sony i NEED this game like a crack head needs rocks..i think this will be the first game to show off some of that cell processor power, 2200 characters at once.......excuse me why i go walk off my chubby
Nice, this game looks better every time i see it.
...so I'm pretty sure I'll love that game too...and damn, that thing looks hot!
You know they've fixed quite a few things. The hair for one..observe how it sits over the sword, no cutting...and how it is more flowing and less "choppy". The shadows for another, turning down the bloom a little. And the Depth of Field is amazing as it is not as blurred as it used to be. And note the left buttock q:
ps. instead of gamepro providing two of each and zooming in and cropping on them they shouldve given us 720p screens damn it as I'm sure Ninja Theory provided them with! grr naughty gamepro.
HAHA yeah didnt wanna say anything, but the ass shots were a plus, im sure GAMR would approve
At frist I thought it would be like 2 or 3 at a time but damn
I'm looking forward to the most right now. Did someone say HS week? New stuff all week? Awesome.
2,200 or more? running at a great framerate ?
Not kidding. q:
Damn it I used up all my bubbles to tell you that! And I wanted to save them if someone came in hating. Oh well.
Boink. It's HS week at gamepro...something new everyday so gameplay footage has to be a must! :)
Ludwig...what's your point? The only difference is the blur...and that was gameplay footage from November last year...to me it looks better.
ps. give me more bubbles and I can answer all (most) your HS questions. :)
look at that ,prepare to hit button combinations till your fingers bleed my friends
this game was the game that got me interested on buyin a ps3.although their are orther great games coming out for the ps3 that i want,i would get the system even if that was the only game on it.*drools*:)
I have it reserved. I'm so excited. It's unfortunate that many children will masturbate because of this game...
But, really, this game looks amazing. It'd be great to get a demo sometime.
well,i read somewhere that there will be big and small mythical monsters that you will be able to fight.anyone else knows about this?also does anyone know anything about boss battles?
Look at that (CG) picture from a month ago and now look at the real time game play. I think the game play one looks much better! Looks like she got a tan( like most of the American girls in winter)
This game definately will rock!
want to see in action, i think it will look like CG.
And this game coming in first year of PS3 live..
Imagine how will look the HS2... =)
if the in game screenshots looks this good, why not release some in game footage to help build the hype?
seems to make sense to me?
Just go to youtube and type in heavenly sword, the videos are old but they should do.
the youtube vids are such crappy quality. I mean the company wants to take the time to capture these beautiful screens, why not capture some of the game and send it out?
I mean if it looks as good as these screens show, then that'll pretty much sell the game? it's basically free publicity.
they will release gameplay videos and more screenshots. Remember, there was that period when there was nothing new of Heavenly Sword, and then all of a sudden they came out with screenies, trailers, and a commercial clip. I think some gameplay videos will be right around the corner, maybe I'm wishful thinking.
Are you people BLIND?...
I didn't think this game would look better. If they're still working on the graphics I don't mind when it comes out.
The platforming looks cool, jumping from rope to rope. I want them to release like at least a 5 min. video just showing off the environments and some battle sequences. I want to see how far they've gotten as far as the fighting goes.
but i have a feeling that this new screens that gamepro has just put out are about.....a couple of months old,but they are new to us.ny new info on gameplay?weapons?
I can feel microsoft sweating already.
Bill is suddenly feeling hot hot hot.
Hot news on release, PS3 Sells another 3million. Game receives 10/10
I highly doubt bill is sweating it the xbox 360 has some really big heavy hitters coming out this year including Halo3, Mass Affect and Bioshok which I have already pre-ordered and they will all look better than this game...minus mass affect
and have always be impressed, till now...
The art direction is amazing, but the lighting effects lacks too much for me now.
Hope they change this before launch.
you play games for lighting effects.
that`s un-fun.
i like lighting FX too, but don`t say that why your not impressed.
I was going to wait for Little Big Planet but if this turns out good i'll be picking up a PS3 for sure
Same here, i'll be picking up my ps3 xmas:) Plenty of sweet games by then.
the best eye sockets in any polygon game. ever see the eye sockets on madden players....ughh scary
how do you guys think she will sound when she talks.ive just watch all the videos realeased and she hasnt talk in any of them.
PS3 Sucks. There are no games for it. All the games rated 9.0 or above are on XBOX360. These new screens are not that good. Nariko or whatever her name is looks very ugly. No attetion was paid to the details. Her hair looks choppy .. e.t.c
But really guys what i dont get is... there was a vid at the last E3 that showed Nariko pretty much castrating a dude, the primary costume she is wearing shows nudity... yet there is NO BLOOD. I dont understand it. Maybe the devs are trying to set a diff tone from god.o.w. But why add elements like i mentioned above if theres no blood.. The game will already get an M rating from that alone so whats holding em?!?
AMAZING GAME THOUGH .. i might add. Will get this Day 1.
that the reason the game was delayed after the launch had to do with blood. Apparently they realised that the realism of the violence alone was going to stick them with an M rating and decided to just go all out. I really hope this is true because it means the game will be even crazier.
Do they have a release date for this game yet? This is mainly what i bought my ps3 for.
sry stingray9191 but none of those look better than this game espeially halo 3 cuz it just looks like crap plain and simple(the other 2 look really good but not as good as HS) but graphics are not what is important about games its the gameplay and everybody always seems to forget that. That is the reason i go back and play my n64, cuz the games were fun even though the graphics are not good, like goldeneye, zelda, mario party and mario tennis.
The close ups or cutscens of the chick look great the actual game is alright. I dont understand what you're talking about. It looks a smidge better than Tomb Raider with more going on or scenes that might be gameplay or some sort of scene, lets not get carred away. Be honest! look at the action carefully(Gameplay pics) and you'll see its looks great for whats been coming out for the PS3. I'm suprized #19 did not get ripped a new asshole for being honest, you havn't noticed the big time Sony fans fans are not in here talking sh*t, Yah! thats the reason.
360 had a game called 99 nights (N3) and HS are of the same quality. N3 was released year ago. What the hell is wrong with these fanbois?
Look like crap but, it's score isn't anything to write home about either. 5.6 at IGN.
This game looks way better then you two give credit.
Till Heavenly Sword for my Playstation 3!,It looks amazing!,and it's scheduled for a August release this year.
I'm really not trying to be biased at all here and I have looked at those pictures time and time again and I am hesitant to say anything so I don't get attacked, but I am so not impressed by these. Their are certain things that look good in every picture than their are other things that turn me off. Example: 1 looks like concept art look at her leg, #2 is good no complaints, #3 looks like a bunch of jumbled guys and she is all blurry, hardly any texture anywhere, #4 looks good no complaints, #5 looks horrible compared to that short clip we saw a month ago that was airing on Heroes, #6 detail, texture, hello??, #7-10 are all really good looking except for is their no hdr in this game, theirs like no realistic lighting at all, so many dark surfaces...all of this is so weird because I feel like the game has looked MUCH MUCH better than this in previous media. I really believe and HOPE these are super old because these don't excite me at all and this is one of my top 5 games I am excited about, as I tore through GOW 1 AND 2 earlier this year I really am waiting for another game like this...ok so after reading back through my comment I guess I don't really have that many complaints but I still think it will look 10 times better than this...
EDIT:: EVERYONE look at Number 19's post it totally makes my case make total sense...
wow simply wow, really can't believe you guys, the screens look amazing, and you are talking about #19, its a screen capture from the heroes teaser trailer, the game is running at 60 fps, and you wonder why its blurry on a screen cap. If you thing this game looks bad, well I feel sorry for you. These screens, plus the gameplay shown at E3, make this game blow out the competition. Ninja Gaiden has nothing on this game. Just step back and reevaluate your thoughts on games and gaming itself. The fanboys always show their true colors.
You make a lot of good, honest points. They look like an improvement in some parts like her hair and the environment lighting, but it still looks like it needs improvement in the amount of textures in some areas. But there's a small part in this trailer http://www.games.net/video/... at 1:34 where it's showing gameplay and all of the textures and lighting look really incredible. I think it for sure looks way better when you're actually running it on an HDTV.
HDR and Bloom effects are very big in the game and is something they talk about since the begining and is something they've had since the begining...they have an amazing lighting guy. I believe these have those effects turned off..for reasons that may be to show off the enviroments and colour in screenshots...I'll try and get this confirmed from the devs. :)
Smokey I'm not bashing this game whatsoever, I am totally looking forward to this title I was just commenting on these pictures as they seem like a step backward in areas from previous screens. As for the video, unless I am mistaken, it was a gameplay video and it far exceeds these shots. Anyways my whole point was that these look horrible compared to past media, these shots will be blown away by finalized game code, I can almost guarantee that, and no I am not a "fanboy"
actually looks quite a bit better than this. But these still look fairly good. It's hard to say how old they are though since we're being kept in the dark. I have some other photos from another magazine attached; it was released back in December in the UK. Sony is basically saving their entire software onslaught for E3 in July.
i know. it's driving me crazy.
it was only the arena demo we've seen so much of, but it was so fun.
the controls were fluid and responsive, the animations were smooth and graceful, and the number of moves she had at her disposal between her various stances were sweet as hell, and fun to pull off. and that was nearly a *YEAR* ago! having worked in the gaming industry for 3 years, i know the type of tweaking that goes on during the last 2 to 3 months, so i can't even imagine the tweaking and perfecting that's been going on for the past 10 months!
at the very least, Heavenly Sword will be a fun game to play.
at the most, it will be very fun to play, and have a great story adding to it's backbone.
i really hope the rumors of it's September release are false, and that it's more closer to July (the month of my birth).
it was just one of the reasons last year that i decided the PS3 was for me. i understand that you have to wait for the good games to come (360ers waited a year for Gears of War, PS3ers have to wait for MGS4, Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank, Home, Little Big Planet, etc).
well, the days have been going by at a decent pace for me lately, so it'll be Q4 before i know it. in the meantime, there's some good games hitting between now and then that should keep me busy (like Ninja Gaiden Sigma, and Lair), so i think i can whether the storm. i did it with the PS2 (possibly the bearer of the worst console launch line-up in gaming history), i'm sure i can do it again.
looks a little like god of war but with a bird character instead. no bad thing :)
I would really want to see more in-game clips of this. A hands-on or demo would be even better, so we can hear a bit more of how it plays, which should be the most interesting question. With 2200 on screen, i want to see how smooth it runs too.
If only they where bigger! But I'm not too impresed, don't get me wrong they look very good, but still... maybe I played too much GoW2 :D
Man, I've been following this game since it was announced on 360 all those years ago. And just look at her now. This may finally be the game that'll make me glad I bought my PS3 (it may be the sole reason I did it too). They have tweaked the visuals so well too, so they suit the art direction more. I've noticed that the self-shadowing and other lighting nuances have been removed or toned down quite a bit, but I think it makes for a better overall presentation.
Isn't this nice? No fanboy-ish comments in a 62 comment thread? Just people commenting on a game. Keep this up and this place might become hospitable again.

BATON ROUGE, La. Gambling at every opportunity, No. 1 LSU stayed perfect.
Florida's hopes of another national title appear to be over after a remarkable Saturday night in Death Valley.
The Tigers barely converted a pair of fourth-down runs on their final drive before Jacob Hester powered over from the 2-yard line with 1:09 remaining, completing a stunning comeback that gave LSU a 28-24 victory over the No. 9 Gators.
Tim Tebow shredded the nation's top-ranked defense for three quarters, giving Florida a 24-14 lead with 15 minutes remaining. He threw for a pair of touchdowns and ran for another.
But LSU (6-0, 3-0 Southeastern Conference), top-ranked in the AP poll for the first time in 58 years, kept rolling the dice and coming up with winners. The Tigers scored two touchdowns on fourth-down plays and another after pulling off a fake field goal. Then, on the game's decisive drive, they finally hit the jackpot.
Florida (4-2, 2-2) failed to bounce back from a last-play loss to Auburn the previous week, giving coach Urban Meyer his first two-game losing streak since he was at Bowling Green in 2002 and likely snuffing out the Gators' chances of repeating as national champions.
Hester bulled his way into the end zone for LSU's first lead of the game. When the Tigers knocked down Tebow's final long pass in the end zone, the record crowd of 92,910 let out its biggest roar of all.
The Tigers should still be No. 1 when the poll comes out Sunday. And, with second-ranked Southern California losing to Stanford in a 24-23 stunner, really there's no doubt about it.
"We took great strides in showing our character and ability to come from behind," coach Les Miles said. "I like the way this team is coming together."
Miles should head straight to one of those casinos on the Mississippi River after this one.
Backup quarterback Ryan Perilloux scored on a fourth-and-goal run from the 1 in the second quarter. Starting quarterback Matt Flynn pulled off a fake field goal that led to Keiland Williams' 4-yard TD run in the third quarter. And Flynn tossed a 4-yard scoring pass to Demetrius Byrd on fourth-and-goal with 10:15 remaining.
But the Tigers weren't done. Not by a longest of long shots.
First, with 7 minutes left and the ball on their side of midfield, LSU passed up a punt and went for it needing nearly 2 yards. Hester took the handoff and put his head down. The chains came on after he was tackled. First down by about the length of the football.
"I gamble more than you think," Miles said with the devilish grin of someone who doubled down and hit blackjack. "Their offense is a possession offense. ... They keep the ball. We knew if we got some fourth-down opportunities, we were going to make those calls. We just didn't know if we were going to make 'em."
They did, over and over again.
LSU kept driving down the field, but found itself facing another fourth-and-1 at the Florida 6. Most coaches would have taken a chip-shot field goal and their chances in overtimes. Not Miles.
Hester got the ball again and dove forward for a first down. Finally, facing third-and-goal from just outside the 2, Hester plunged into the end zone
Hester, who finished with 106 bruising yards, was shaken up on the winning score. But he finally got up and trotted off the field to a second rousing ovation, the capper on a magical night at Tiger Stadium.
LSU improved to 30-2 at home over the last five years.
Tebow got the ball across midfield on the final possession. But his final, desperate heave was batted down in the back of the end zone.
"I don't know if I've ever done this, but I guarantee we'll be back," Meyer said defiantly. "The Florida Gators will be back. Smokin'."
Facing a defense that had two shutouts and was allowing less than 175 yards per game, Tebow passed for 158 yards and rushed for 75. But the Gators had two crucial turnovers in the second half, which allowed LSU to get back into the game after twice falling behind by 10 points.
"It is something that just cannot happen," Tebow said. "We have got to straighten it out."

Sarah Jane Adventures Series 3, The (UK - DVD R2)
The Wilson Bros always respond when older women say "I need you" to them...
Once Sarah Jane Smith left the company of The Doctor all those years ago, it was only a brief appearance in The Five Doctors, and that awful episode she went through in the 80s that gave us a glimpse of what her future would be. Being a hard-nosed journalist, we figured her career taking her down a very different path to what was eventually revealed. To us, she would be sitting at a desk in the newsroom of a seedy tabloid, stinking of cheap scotch, with fags spilling over the top of a broken ashtray as she makes phone-calls of the following variety:
"…you tell your boss I'm getting sick and bloody tired of waiting for an interview he promised me two days ago. As the head of a couple of children's charities, he knows he's in a very dicey position, so you your head out of your arse and get me that Goddamn interview or he'll find out mud sticks. Got that? MUD STICKS!"
Well, you get the idea.
The legacy of the shudder-inducing K-9 and Company extended to Sarah Jane being partnered (though not in the Biblical sense) with K-9 in The Five Doctors, and continued with her appearance in New-Who story, School Reunion. Like the Tolpuddle Martyrs, the legacy is what will be remembered and felt today, rather than the incident that initiated it. Though they didn't share any time together during the 1970s, Sarah Jane Smith and K-9 are now as inextricably interlinked as Laurel and Hardy, Cannon and Ball, or Manning and Crompton - well, maybe not that last example.
The success of School Reunion, the second series Doctor Who episode that saw The Doctor reunited with one of his most popular companions, Sarah Jane Smith, started things rumbling within the Doctor Who production office and the result was that not long after the story went out, it was decided that the plucky journalist would have her own series. The main difference between The Sarah Jane Adventures and Doctor Who was that where the original show was aimed at a family audience, Elisabeth Sladen's spin-off would be strictly aimed at children.
The premise is that Sarah Jane Smith now lives in a suburban street (one that was bizarrely named after Sylvester McCoy era story, Delta and the Bannermen) in Ealing and she is still investigating possible alien presences on Earth. She is assisted by smug super-computer Mr Smith (voiced by the ubiquitous Alexander Armstrong) along with several teenagers from the neighbourhood. The irritating fanfare that accompanies Mr Smith's activation was even joking criticised during the final story in New-Who's fourth series. She also has a "son", Luke (Tommy Knight), who is really a genetically-engineered lifeform that she has adopted. There have also been a changing line-up of youngsters, the most constant of which has been Clyde (Daniel Anthony) a solid, dependable type, not unlike Doctor Who companion Ben; along with Luke and Clyde is Rani (Anjli Mohindra), a young woman with a nose for investigation.
With the reappearance of K-9 from the dreaded copyright black hole, there will doubtless be sniggering from some sections of Doctor Who fandom, as the internet has been around long enough to form a solid backbone for rumours about what single, middle-aged women get up to with their dogs.
The Sarah Jane Adventures seems to adhere to the principles of legendary movie producer Milton Subotsky, who advocated that horror films shouldn't be the exclusive domain of the adult, and that kids should have their own fright flicks. This echoes a problem with the show which stops it being as much fun for grown-ups as the intended audience - that is in trying not to be too scary or contain too much politics in the stories, there is less to engage the older viewers. It is certainly not without entertainment value, but there is something inherently "safe" about the experience.
Prisoner of the Judoon:
An unidentified object enters Earth's atmosphere, but this is no ordinary meteor; Androvax the Annihilator has managed to escape his captors - the Judoon - and there is a race against time to recapture the fugitive Veil before he can wreak havoc upon Earth's technology and before the Judoon fleet reaches Earth and impose their rather fascist and blanket penalties upon the entire planet.
This was a transparent attempt to link the series more directly with New-Who by featuring one of the popular villains, but sadly they weren't available, so they had to make do with bringing back the Judoon. Enough comedic moments featuring the fascist Captain Tybo keep the two-part story bubbling along nicely enough and the possession elements that have Androvax inhabiting the bodies of humans allow for numerous interesting, if not terribly original, possibilities and story twists.
The Mad Woman in the Attic:
In the year 2059, a young boy named Adam happens to explore the seemingly deserted 13 Bannerman Road, where he encounters the titular female - an elderly Rani Chandra - who begins to tell Adam her story of how she came to be in the uppermost room in her house.
This is quite possibly the best story of this series, with a fascinating premise and a well-written and intriguing script; the decision to have a large part of the action set in an abandoned funfair was a good one, as there is something undeniably creepy about a place of joy being run-down and deathly quiet. There is the well-worn concept of time and effect, but this is well-handled and the end of the two-part story will put a smile on the lips of all but the most hard-bitten of viewers.
The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith:
Sarah Jane has been acting suspiciously; a little investigating leads Luke, Clyde and Rani to discover that not only does she have a boyfriend, she also happens to have a fiancée and the nuptials are imminent. Forthcoming groom Peter Dalton (Nigel Havers) is a Charmer, but there is more to him than meets the eye, and only the intervention of a certain Time Lord can save the (wedding) day.
It's hard to see this story as anything but a cynical attempt to get more mileage out of the David Tennant Victory Lap that was 2009, the Tenth Doctor appears in this two-part story, which was actually the last thing he filmed as The Doctor. Tennant seems to be having a ball, probably because he was starting to feel the sense of liberation that was about to become, but it was also possibly due to being back with Elisabeth Sladen once again. The scenes with Tennant force all of the younger performers to raise their game and this can certainly be seen on-screen.
The Eternity Trap:
Professor Rivers (Floella Benjamin) returns and this time she is in charge of a team investigating apparent supernatural manifestations in a sprawling mansion, Sarah Jane and company eventually discover that the goings-on in the house are the product of science rather than phantoms...
This is another great story, which does what Doctor Who frequently does - takes a classic horror staple (in this case, the haunted house) and applies science to it - but whereas attempts to do this in New-Who have been patchy, it works very well here. An interesting premise and a satisfying conclusion that sticks to the noble ideals of Doctor Who. It's nice, if a little odd, to see former Play School presenter Floella Benjamin in a dramatic role, but it works, and if she had started singing, that would have made her Professor Rivers Song. Oh, and if there is one element to this story that didn't work for us, it's Adam Gillen as Toby Silverman. Adam delivers a performance that we can only hope was intentionally annoying.
Mona Lisa's Revenge:
The subject of Leonardo Da Vinci's most famous painting comes to life in a London art gallery; she gets her hands on a Sontaron weapon and begins to unleash hell in the search for her brother, The Abomination, just as Clyde, Luke and Rani are visiting on a school trip.
Now this one really got on our nerves. Take an intriguing premise and then urinate all over it by pandering to the lowest common denominator. Mona Lisa (Suranne Jones) is indeed brought to life, but not in the manner that anyone over the mental age of 12 would anticipate - the Mona Lisa seen here is a hip, trash-talking sassy bitch, which grates the nerves of anyone old enough to legally drink alcohol in a pub. This is far and away the worst story (from the usually reliable Phil Ford) in this series - the idea of bringing the subject of a famous piece of art to life is an interesting one, but it is done in such a ghastly manner that you have to wonder just how this was allowed to go ahead by The-Powers-That-Be. It sets a bad example for young people - we know that we sound like a couple of old farts for saying this, but we honestly couldn't care less. Oh and the idiocy of this premise was briefly touched upon in the fourth series story, Death of the Doctor.
The Gift:
The supposed enemy of the Slitheen - the Blathereen - arrive on Earth and give a gift to humanity, Rakweed, a hardy plant that could bring about the end of global famine. The motives of the Blathereen turn out to be far from honest, as Rakweed generates spores that could possibly wipe out all life on Earth and the race is on to stop both the spores and the Blathereen.
This is a fun story to finish the third series on, with a nice spin on an old (and not very well liked) enemy; there's a pleasing amount of jeopardy and some great performances - including having such acting luminaries as Simon Callow and Miriam Margolyes voicing the Blathereen; that all combine to make something which thrills and entertains in equal measures.
The anamorphic 1.78:1 image is pretty pleasing; looking a little better than the way you saw it look on television. The vibrant colour palette is faithfully reproduced and levels of detail are quite high. This is good stuff.
Sadly, there is no Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack for this Doctor Who related set - what you get is merely a Dolby Digital 2.0 track, but it can produce a reasonably good surround track when you set your amplifier to the appropriate setting.
It's a bummer to report that the only extra included in this set is a 2m5s extract from a forthcoming Sarah Jane Adventures audio book, The White Wolf; read (or should that be narrated?) by Elisabeth Sladen, it's a transparent plug for related merchandise. Given all the plugging and promotion that the series has on CBBC, surely it wouldn't have been too much of a stretch to find something to include? Even an audio commentary or two from the kids would have been good, especially on the crossover episode - but no, all fans get is just a plug for a bloody audiobook.
The Sarah Jane Adventures is a fun little show, with good performances and interesting stories (well, apart from the odd crap one...) - kids love it for the action and older viewers can enjoy it for Elisabeth Sladen and the references to Doctor Who. It's a nice set at a great price, but it's just a pity that 2Entertain have seen fit to skimp on the extras.

I love The Sarah Jane Adventures they're great fun, have good production values and are often quite moving (especially this weeks two-parter), but for the life of me I can't understand the beeb's broadcast schedule. I've missed too many episodes because of it. Why don't they have this show on a Saturday night (it's as good as Merlin in my opinion) or a Sunday omnibus? Come on beeb you only make a handful of programmes worth watching each year put this one where it deserves to be.
Another good one Wilson Bros.

Thanks for the kind words, guys.
Yeah, the sole extra IS pretty pathetic - just a gratuitous plug for another BBC product.
The show is squarely aimed at kids, but there's still good and surprising stuff in it now and again.
Oh, and the screenings that the Beeb have ARE decidedly erratic - it would be nice to see a Sunday omnibus.
