MLB 15: The Show launches on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and Vita tomorrow. That's the same day Game Informer staffers will be getting their hands on the final version of the game. Sony didn't send out early copies of the game to critics, citing the importance of the servers being online for players to get everything out of the game.
We are planning on posting early impressions and videos throughout the day tomorrow for those of you thinking about picking it up on day one. Sports reviews take time, and we don't anticipate having our review for MLB 15: The Show ready at any point this week.
For now, check out our hands-on impressions with a preview version of the game from earlier this year.

Sony has announced that Spotify will launch today on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3. You don't need PlayStation Plus to use it, and it sounds like you don't need a Spotify premium membership.
Spotify's paid program removes the ads, improves audio quality, and gives users access to music offline on mobile devices. If you want to try premium ($9.99 per month), there are a couple of ways to get a free trial. If you had a Music Unlimited account active as of March 29, you get two free months of Spotify premium. If you've never used a trial of the service, you can get one month for free.
Using the iOS or Android app, Spotify users can control their music on the console. This allows you to add custom soundtracks without pausing.

GameInformer News John Malkovich, Bill Paxton, Rose McGowan, and Jon Bernthal are back for more zombie fighting in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare's Exo Zombies Infection DLC.
You can check out the trailer below, which teases the continuation of the celebrity-stuffed Ex Zombies storyline as they try to survive in Burgertown franchise. The DLC adds new weapon, new traps, new exo zombies, and new allies. The zombies are getting stronger and as Malkovich says in the trailer, "Looks to me like Atlas happened. They excel at f***ing s*** up." It also sounds like – and this is pure speculation – Bruce Campbell is flying a helpful Warbird? I could be totally wrong about that.
You can check out the trailer below and the DLC will be available March 31 on Xbox One and Xbox 360.

In Hyrule (and most of the other worlds where Link has his adventures) bottles and the glass used to create them is very hard to come by, which means it's unlikely the act on display in this video could ever happen in a Zelda game.
Little is known about the video regarding where this is or who the artist is as the YouTube video has no description. The musicians simply says, "Those of you who have heard it won’t know when I mess up, but those of you who have heard it countless times may. Here we go. This is my attempt at a very difficult song." He then proceeds to play the familiar Zelda theme using the collection of water-filled glasses in front of him.
