Timegate’s Section 8, one of last year’s more interesting efforts in the multiplayer shooter space, is available on PC and Xbox 360. For some reason, it’s also coming out on PlayStation 3.

It may not be as easy as you’d think. Capcom is releasing Sengoku Basara 3 (Devil Kings in the West) on the Wii and the PS3 this summer in Japan. The game map screens for both platforms look identical. This is not a dig at the PS3’s graphic capabilities — not in the least. The…
