GamesCon 2009 Tons of Vids!

LittleBigPlanet PSP - Looks awesome! Sadly, multiplayer support has been dropped. However the whole creation process has been retained in a 2D plane. I can't wait for it!

She's Back In The Latest Store Update

The PlayStation Network Store is updated and one of our fine ladies of gaming has returned once again. The PS1 classic Tomb Raider returns in all it's glory for $9.99! I was curious when we'd start seeing the PS1 Tomb Raider classics on the network once the PSP games arrived. It's nice to see they're arriving sooner rather than later.

Those with PSP's might want to invest the extra 3 bucks and purchase Tomb Raider Anniversary instead. However, If your a fan like me or want to experience the original game that started it all, you can easily now. Hmmm... With all this Tomb Raider stuff going on, I might have to pick up Underworld.

Staying on topic, it appears that there is huge interest in "relaunching" the Tomb Raider movie franchise. Much like the Batman or Hulk flicks, a new creative team/cast would take over and hit the big fat reset button. I'm all for it. I enjoyed the two Angelia Jolie adventures, they were some fun stuff but to go all "Batman Begins" with it. Oh hell yeah!

John Hughes R.I.P.

I know this is a PSP blog and all but I had to post this. John Hughes died at the early age of 59 from a heart attack. His contributions to Hollywood cinema is substantial. His films include The Breakfast Club, Pretty In Pink, Weird Science, Ferris Beller's Day Off and Plains, Trains & Automobiles. Goodbye John! You will be missed.

A Couple of Screws Loose

Look, I love Sony. I have a PlayStation 1, 2 and 3. I have a VIAO laptop. I have a big ass 1080p Sony Bravia II LCD TV. I have a PSP(several mind you) and I'm purchasing the PSP GO. So if I'm gonna complain about the company's WTF moments, I have legitamite reason too.

Let's go back to the PSP GO. Joystiq is reporting that the GO will come BUNDLED with a VOUCHER for a ROCK BAND UNPLUGGED DEMO. Whoopee! A demo. Can't we just go online the network store and already download that demo? Why do we need a voucher? Aren't there a thousand other demos to download there already without the requirement of a voucher? Hey Sony, if you're going to spend the money to print and package vouchers in with the PSP GO, why not let it be a full game or a network cash card. Boo Sony, Boo! Oh wait... It's an exclusive PSP GO demo. Wow! It's probably got 2 extra songs to play. EXCITING TIMES INDEED! It makes me wanna just go out and buy the PSP-3000 Rock Band Unplugged bundle instead.

Meanwhile, one of my favourite blogs PlayStation LifeStyle is reporting that Microsoft is using LittleBigPlanet music in one of their latest ads. Ah! Isn't that cute? Couldn't they steal somebody else's awesome tunes? Check it out below.

This concludes the "A Couple of Screws Loose" post of the day.

Games Girlz Play

This is a neat PlayStation portal to attract girl gamerz to the PSP platform. The site shows off what the hand held can do, alongside current content offerings. The lilac PSP-3000 certainly looks hot and sexy. With the network store expanding to more smaller, casual fair and applications, that will attract a diverse audience. It's that kind of content that has my wife hooked onto her iTouch. Hopefully, we will see The Secret of Monkey Island and Pac-Man Championship Edition released for the Sony platform as well.

Check out the portal here.

Oh, Yeah There's More To Get October 1st...

It's going to be a major money busting day October 1st. Not only will I be gettin' the GO, but accessories and network titles will be hitting my bank account as well. I'm thinking it'll be a good $400 day. Ouch!

The guys over at Gaming Bits have a list of official accessories that will be released alongside the latest PSP. Get your calculator out and start throwing more into your piggy bank.
