We have all heard of Sony's Secret game for the ps3 thats supposed to blow away everything ever made. The buzz about this game first started by a BBC reporter. You can read the origin of the secret game in his blog here

heres a part of the blog
"So what else was I shown? Well, I was shown a trailer for a game not due out till 2009 but was sworn to absolute secrecy. Apparently, Sony just wanted to give a glimpse of what the console will be capable of.
In fact, the game is such a secret that when I mentioned the game to Phil Harrison last week he was unsure at first whether even to admit the title existed. When I explained I had been shown it under strict Non Disclosure Agreement terms he looked relieved.
I don't mean to be a tease - all I can say is that I was left speechless. If the footage I was shown truly is "in game", as told to me by the Sony PR people, then we could be on the brink of a step change in what games consoles are capable of in terms of story-telling and immersion"
A reader of this journalists blog sent him an e-mail asking if the secret game was shown at e3, you can read his response in his new blog here

"A reader of the blog - Kyle Barrett - has emailed to ask if a mystery game I had teased people with a few months ago had finally been revealed at Sony's E3 press conference.
At the time I wrote:
If the footage I was shown truly is "in game", as told to me by the Sony PR people, then we could be on the brink of a step change in what games consoles are capable of in terms of story-telling and immersion.
So, sat in the audience in the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles at the Sony briefing I was really looking forward to seeing everyone's reaction to the game.
As the briefing wore on I was beginning to wonder if it would ever appear.
But then Sony executive Jack Tretton said: "We have one final thing to show you."
And I thought: This is it. This is the big reveal; finally I can be unburdened with this secret.
And on the big screen MAG appeared - the massively multiplayer online FPS game.
As it turned out: this was one of the games I had been shown some months before but under strict instruction I was not to write about it.
But this was not the game I was referring to. It still hasn't been shown publicly.
And so I still can't talk about it. Or even tell you what it's called. In fact when I referred to it in passing and without detail in front of a BBC colleague this week, the Sony PR man drew a sharp intake of breath and shot me a withering look.
Some of you might be thinking the game is pure vapourware. But I promise you it's real"
So this "Secret Sony Game" is starting to create a buzz, I originally thought it was God of War 3 but that was shown at E3 (although it was a very short pre rendered preview) So what can it be? and can it really deliver what this journalist has stated? heres hopin
