PS Fanboy Week in Review: 7/7 - 7/12

This week has actually been pretty crazy -- possibly even crazier than The Last Guy developers seen in the above clip. With E3 coming around, we're both really excited and close to losing our marbles in preparation for the big E this year. We have already made our E3 predictions and have sorted out our meet up plans. Check, check, check. All that's left to do now is go to the show and bring home all the goods to you fine folk! So until then, sit back, relax, and read PS Fanboy's Week in Review to get you up to date on all things Sony.

Reviews

• PSP Fanboy review: Secret Agent Clank
"After an excellent first outing on PSP, High Impact Games has created a follow-up to Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters that's worse in almost every single aspect."

Previews

• PS3 Fanboy hands-on: Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm
"Ultimate Ninja Storm, more than any anime game before it, looks just as good, if not better, than its source material. Not only is the level of detail stunning, the fluidity of the animations and the strong use of motion blur give it a truly cinematic look."

Columns

• Give me a reason to fight!
"Since when do competitive games need a narrative? Tic-tac-toe never had a narrative. Neither did chess, the most pervasive simulation of military strategy in the Western world."
