The latest issue of PSM3 has posted dates for both Grand Theft Auto V and Hitman: Absolution. According to the magazine, the Rockstar title will hit retail on March 9, 2013, while Agent 47′s latest mission lands in December of this year. The dates were posted in the “Readers’ Most Wanted” section, and while not listed in the mag’s rumors portion, we’re still calling it as such until both games are given set release dates by the publishers. Thanks, Gematsu.

A teaser page with a picture of two bullets pointing downwards and the text, “A mystery shooter sequel,” features prominently in this month’s issue of PSM3.

Future’s PSM3 mag has blown the lid on EA’s Dante’s Inferno, revealing a “muscular six foot knight with magic powers” fighting through the nine circles of Hell to a showdown with Old Nick himself.

From PushSquare.com:

• The game runs at a solid 60FPS and is brought to life by the excellent animations of its enemies and protagonist.
• Dante Aligheri, the Florentine poet of whom the game is based upon, has been turned into a “muscular six foot knight with magic powers” to suit the tone of the game. Dante is fighting his way through Hell to save his lost love Beatrice, who has been murdered and wrongly sent to the underworld.
• One of the first boss encounters takes place in “Limbo”, an area of lost souls who are agonisingly close to God but can never reach Him due to a life of non-believing. It’s here that Dante fights Death himself and steals his magical scythe before plunging into the underworld.
• The game shares the exact same control scheme as God Of War. Even down to Circle being used to open chests.
• The games artist Wayne Barlowe was chosen because of his work on Barlowe’s Inferno, a collection of images based on Dante’s poem.
• Structurally, the game is designed to take the player through the nine circles of Hell. The first circle, Limbo, is where you will encounter Death and moving through the world areas get more horrific. Circle 5, “The Wrathful”, is where violent people are forced to endlessly fight each other. The game will culminate in Circle 9, presumably with a massive boss fight against Beelzebub himself.

No date on it yet. Watch for an embargo-lift in the very near future.

First real details have surfaced on EA Redwood Studio’s multi-platform third-person action title, Dante’s Inferno.

Dante Alighieri’s adventures through the nine circles of Hell will be a mixture of God of War meets Dead Space, according to a PSM3 article, with the protagonist facing off against crosses spewing lava, demons and other nasty denizens as he searches for his lady love Beatrice.

Quick time events, such as climbing a 20-foot monster to battle its demon rider over control of the beast, should be familiar to any one who has played any of Kratos’s adventures, and even combo controls will be reminiscent of the Spartan’s lauded control scheme.

PSM3 has a 10-page spread on the game in the latest issue, and in case you have not seen the teaser trailer, head on over to CVG, and check it out.

Thanks, Blerk.

According to CVG, UK mag PSM3′s published the first BioShock PS3 review, which claims the game “plays identically” to its 360 counterpart.

The 93 percent review is summed up thus:

If you’re a lucky multi-format owner who favours visuals over some extra puzzle levels, you’re probably better off with 360′s original. Otherwise, you needn’t panic: Rapture shines on every format and plays identically.

And:

Overall As fresh today as it ever was, BioShock’s an essential PS3 play.

We’re started to see something of a pattern here. The cover article from the latest PSM3 – a 12-page preview of Metal Gear Solid 4 based on a visit to Konami’s “super campus” in Japan – has been scanned in its entirety and can be found on 360Indians. We haven’t read it, but there are some major spoilers in there, apparently, so don’t go if you want to remain pure.
