Sony Computer Entertainment has shipped Untold Legends Dark Kingdom fantasy role playing game for PlayStation 3 to retailers, meaning that anybody who has enough forethought or luck to set hands on a PS3 system at (or shortly after) the console’s launch tomorrow should be able to set hands on a made-for-PS3 RPG title in short order.

Dark Kingdom is set in the same world as two previous Untold Legends titles developed for the PSP, and enables players to choose one of three characters on a hack-and-slash journey through dungeons, caverns, villages, and the lair of an evil warlord. Along the way, characters can unlock spells, collect weapons, armor, and other items, and—of course—smash up their surroundings and even use enemy characters as (unwilling) weapons. The Untold Legends stories are developed by fantasy novelist Keith Baker, known for Dungeons and Dragons novelizations, and the PS3 title is designed to feature mechanics, audio and video effects, and physics-based action enabled by the new console.

The fate of physical game discs seems to be set in stone, with an all-digital library becoming increasingly inevitable. Microsoft, though, may at least give Xbox owners a way to bring their shelves full of physical games along for the journey.

A leaked Microsoft roadmap sent to game publishers details the planned rollout of Xbox’s Disc-to-Digital program alongside a much larger backwards-compatibility push. The document reportedly targets August for general availability, October for the full launch of original Xbox games on PC, and a gradual Xbox 360 rollout beginning in 2027.

Gaming mice usually let you adjust sensitivity, polling rate, and button assignments through software. Pwnage’s new Vanta goes a step further by letting you physically change how each primary click feels.

The company describes the Vanta as the world’s first lightweight gaming mouse with mechanically adjustable clicks. Turning a pair of screws changes how much force and movement the left and right buttons require, without replacing the switches or adding more electronics.
