The Dark Hills of Cherai is beautiful, fun casual gameplay. Fantastically, it bucks the latest trend of the ever shrinking game time and will keep players busy for hours. This is not a game to speed through. Take your time, explore, and experience the wonders of India without ever leaving your home.

And by "PS3 backpack," I don't mean some fashionable branded bag, I mean an actual backpack, hooked up to a PS3 and battery.

In some kind of promotional stunt that wasn't expressly for Sony but rather EPSON, a stuntman was saddled with this ridiculous harness mounted with an EPSON HD office projector-thing, then sent out into the world to play what looks like Need for Speed SHIFT while projecting the images on ceilings, building sides, inside wind tunnels and in nightclubs. Um, yeah, so that's a thing that happened, which you can watch a video of below.

Congrats, EPSON (and EA and Sony), you got the publicity you needed from us. That said, I'd have preferred he play different games.

Since EA helped sponsor the stunt I suppose it wasn't possible, but it would have been hilarious if the guy had gone around playing Modern Warfare 2's "No Russian" level, projected onto a huge wall out in public.

Which EA-published PS3-present games would you have liked to see the stuntman play? My vote's in for the love scenes from Dragon Age, honorable mention for Mirror's Edge. The latter would look great at night, projected onto a floor, while the former would just look kind of awkward.
