Qore, PS3's monthly digital video game "magazine," has abruptly ended. The April 2012 issue, which debuted on the PlayStation Store yesterday, will be the last issue ever produced.

Said freebies include PlayStation 3 demos for Bayonetta and Fairytale Fights, along with a Santa outfit for owners of LittleBigPlanet. Should you be interested in more LBP costumes, Sackpeople can now dress like Assassin's Creed II's Ezio for $2. Read more »
