Picross 3D


Game Information

Use Logic to Reveal the Sculptures in the Puzzles

Based on the international smash-hit Picross puzzle phenomenon, Picross 3D™ takes the mind-bending fun into the next dimension. Blending the logical challenge of a number-based puzzle with the excitement of discovering the hidden objects, this game is easy to pick up, but hard to put down.

FEATURES:
Players start with a solid block of cubes marked with numbers. Each block contains a hidden object. Each number represents the number of blocks in that row that are part of the hidden object. If a row of six blocks is marked with the number five, one of those blocks must be eliminated. But which one? Players must deduce the answer based on the number clues marked on adjacent rows and columns.

Once all the appropriate blocks have been chipped away, a fun object will be revealed. There are more than 350 unique puzzles to solve and objects to discover in the game.

Picross 3D lets players create their own customized puzzles. Players can either share their creations with other Picross 3D players via a local wireless connection or use their broadband Internet connection and Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection to submit their puzzles into a monthly themed puzzle challenge. Winners will have their puzzles featured in free weekly downloads available to all Picross 3Dplayers for a limited time after the game is launched.

Additional brain teasing puzzles will be made available throughout the year in themed puzzle packs via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

If multiple people want to play Picross 3D, game owners can also send a sample puzzle to others via DS Download Play without the need of a second game card.

A Bug Has Hit Original "Fat" Playstation 3's WorldWide


Original "Fat", Pre Slim Models, Playstation 3 Consoles around the world have reportedly been hit by a bug. initially, it was suspected that the PSN was down and the focus was on fixing this. However, a wider issue soon became apparent. It now appears that this is not a issue with the PSN, rather its a issue with the old "Fat" PS3 consoles.

its being reported throughout the internet that the issue started when the 28th February went to 1st March. its now suspected, by many, that the issue is a calender bug that has reverted the calender on the PS3 to 2000.

This Bug is reportedly affected more than Retail PS3 consoles. its been reported that Debug units have also got this bug. Debug units are used by game developers to test their games on a PS3 console as well as Major game sites who review non-retail versions of games. Its reported that these units are currently unusable.

The Official USA and EU Playstation Blogs offer no fixes but do say that they are working on a fix. they recommend that people follow the USA or EU Twitter feeds to keep up to date with any news on the issue. at present its recommended that Playstation 3 owners with a "Fat" Unit do not turn them on until a fix is found.

QTE Gamers will report when a fix is found.
