Believe it or not it's real. Sony introduced the concept of EyePet over a year ago but any people couldn't grasp their feeble minds around the concept of having an actual virtual pet. Still many approached to Sony's vision with excitement.

The EyePet is a virtual simulator that lets you interact with a totally customizable pet. You will be given a magic card through which you can play with the little guy, pet, groom or even feed him. You can further on teach him to draw shapes or behave in specific manners. Hell if he's sleeping, make some noise and he will wake up with a jump. Hold your hand up high and he will jump up and grab your finger tips. A very strong linking to realism, you can actually say yes I have a furry 2 foot virtual monkey as a pet.

Above you can see a brief glimpse of Sony's new EyePet in action.

Borderlands is the latest and much anticipated RPG (Role Playing Game) from Gearbox Software. If you're still thinking as to whom they are then this might help, they are the creators of the Brothers In Arms franchise.

The game Borderlands has been planned to come out on the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC systems. The game itself is featuring an amazing visual style and has a Fallout 3 theme to it. Which is good since Fallout 3 was a big smash hit and I personally found the game amazing.

Previously there have been reports about new iPod Touch getting a camera and a mic, but it looks like that the iPod Touch isn't the only device that Apple plans to update with a camera, but the Nano too.

Cult of Mac

The evidence comes from some of the photos posted by Cult of Mac which are being labeled as the photos of the new cases for the upcoming iPod Touch and Nano. The new cases make us believe that the new iPod Touch and Nano will both be getting a camera, which coincides with one of the rumors published by us a couple of days ago.

Today we have in review Left For Dead 2 where we go personal with the new infected called as the Spitter.

Honestly! I'm no Left For Dead fan but after seeing the wave of new gameplay trailers from Valve for the sequel, I just might become one.

The sequel is supposed to have a more eerie theme than the original. In addition it will have more ammo packs for players so that u always have enough shells to blast a zombie herd. Not to forget that players will now be getting a new item called Adrenaline. It will work like pills but have a different effect. The effect allows players to constantly melee and also removes the slow down effect when infected are hitting you. The new effect will allow players to run if they find themselves separated from the team and can’t get away from the circle of zombies beating on them.

See the 'Spitter' in action in the video below:

There were talks on a new infected in the game but due to the murky gameplay no one could get a clear view of the new character. Here she is, her name is "Spitter" and her one spit can take down your whole team.

She, or it, lobs some green toxic sludge at you that puts an area of effect on the ground that will damage anyone with in the area. This combined with a Boomer attack can become a powerful attack combo. Have the Boomer rush in and vomit on the survivors disorienting them while pinning them with the sudden wave of zombies, then simply drop a Spitter wad at the feet of the pinned survivors and the rest will be history.

Here are some more screenshots of the game provided by Valve. These shots reminded me of the new weather effects that Valve mentioned earlier. They look good, the dense fog and rainy skies combined with zombie herds coming at you from the darkness is totally epic. The more Valve shows us of L4D2 the more we think it’s going to be a bigger and better game than L4D.
