News Bethesda: PlayStation 3 Fans Can Still Enjoy Brink Without The PSN
Let's be honest, Brink is a game all about online multiplayer
Thus it's unfortunate that the game should be releasing at a time when the PlayStation Network is still down [though there is a chance the service could return this week, just believe - Ed]. However, in a statement to GiantBomb, a Bethesda spokesperson said there's still plenty for...
News Brink Launch Trailer Shoots Up The 'Net, Out This Week
Brink looks awesome, and it's out this week
Unfortunately the biggest kicker for the game's launch is that the PlayStation Network is still not online yet. That creates a big problem because Brink is very much supposed to be played online. Grrr. It's unfortunate timing for the team at Splash Damage. We can only hope that people choose to pick up the...

We like a lot of what we've seen of Splash Damage's Brink, but the last thing we were expecting was an interesting narrative behind the first-person shooter

E3 2009 Betheda & Splash Damage Collaborate On Sci-Fi Title "Brink"

We're guessing the gunshots mean there will be shooting. We're guessing from the monologue that it's going to be some kind of sci-fi game. Other than that, all we have is a release date, Spring 2010. Absolutely no doubt E3...
