The latest episode of CheapAssGamer's CAGcast brings with it a rumor: the PS3 will be getting an cross-media bar redesign which will be revealed at E3.

Nolan North, who voices Nathan Drake in the action-adventure video game series Uncharted has said in a recent interview that he encourages "everyone to tap into their common sense" and think about what the likelihood of a third Uncharted game is.

The guys who created what is currently Activision's multi-billion dollar Call of Duty franchise have joined EA, one of Activision's biggest competitors and have formed their own studio.
