I’m not really sure how Sony is planning on making money from that sale but I suppose they have a good reason for that.

Social Shots a Game Screenshots Community
I have seen many niches come and go in the last year and I’m not sure if Social Shots will survive the coming year. It is basically a community portal where everyone may post game screenshots. Those screenshots can be tagged, rated and commented on by registered users.
Weekend Fun Covert Front

Zero Punctuation
I recently came upon a series of video game reviews called Zero Punctuation over at the Escapist Magazine which could probably described as reviews in a hurry.
