Extras :
Africa PS3
Video games have a function in life, and that is: wish fulfillment. You can become a mercenary, a fighter pilot. On PS3, we can expand the realm of that experience. Africa allows you to experience a very interesting part of the world, a safari in the plains of Africa. The gameplay is entirely non-violent. You don't kill the animals. It emphasizes the positives rather than the negative

PS3 over 100titles already..
If you were wondering just how big Sony's game development studios have gotten in the 10+ years since the release of the original PlayStation, you only need to hear this bit of news. Phil Harrison, head of Sony Worldwide Studios, revealed to Japanese site Famitsu.com today that the company's vast array of international studios now has around 190 titles in development for the PlayStaion 3, PlayStation 2, PSP and other systems.

That's a whole lot of games, especially considering how many games currently bear the Sony Computer Entertainment name on release charts in the likes of Famitsu.

Of the 190 titles, Harrison disclosed that 100 are for the PlayStation 3. Sony's focus has clearly shifted to the new generation of gaming.

Famitsu also asked Harrison to share the World Studios title that he most recommends. Harrison cited Resistance as a game that's getting lots of attention in the US and European markets. He also noted that Level 5's White Knight Story is getting attention throughout the world.

The Famitsu interviewer mentioned a personal interest in Sony's mysterious Afrika title. To this, Harrison responded, "Afrika is a perfect example of a game that expresses the crossing point of real and virtual."

We're still not sure what the game is all about, but we're getting more and more excited.

Interesting...a price drop prior to release?

I wonder how much that increases losses?

pretty incredible how such company can sell with losses and still win at the end.
