E3 - Innovation Unveiled: June 5-7, 2012. Rumor: Next PlayStation coming in 2013. (Photo credit: AP) There have been plenty of leaks, whispers and rumors about the next Xbox for a few months now, but there hasn't been a lot of talk about Sony's plans for the next generation.

Rumor: Next PlayStation coming in 2013

Kotaku, though, claims to have uncovered some inside information about the system that, on the surface, makes it sound like the next generation console race is going to be a tight one -- and begin next year. Citing a single anonymous source, Kotaku says it believes the code name for the next PlayStation is "Orbis. " And while the next console from Sony is widely expected to be called PlayStation 4 when it hits shelves, the site infers that Orbis might be the system's final name. Whatever it's called, Kotaku says we can expect to see it released in the holiday period of 2013 -- the same timeframe most expect the next Xbox to arrive.

Out of the corner of my eye I notice a mohawked psychotic in leather bustier levelling a shotgun at me. The world slows, I take careful aim and blow her head off.

These weird juxtapositions of triumph and desolation have defined my experience of "Fallout 3", a startlingly detailed role-playing game (RPG) set in a post-nuclear-war landscape. But their respective worlds couldn't be more different. And that's hardly the only dark scene. The game is known for giving players unprecedentedly consequential choices.
