Now one can only wonder, will the monkey...
1. Bless us with those 2 PS One Street Fighter games
2. Fling poo at us
3. Search for the wrestlers and pass out before pressing the button
4. A combination of the above
 
So do we know what the Thanksgiving and Resistance costumes are? I don't want to be Nathan Hale but I'd love to be a Chimera or at least to be able to stick all those multiple eyes onto things. And since there's already a chicken costume in-game, I am hoping for a Puritan costume replete with buckle hat and buckle shoes.

Actually, Penny-Arcade Adventures was hampered by development problems and Hothouse is probably giving Episode One some time to breathe.

I don't think we're getting it this week. The Playstation Blog would've had a preview by now. I pray for it though.

If it helps you sleep, not one PSN game was previewed this week. Not even Street Fighter. Maybe it's a big surprise.
Also hell yeah at Dead Space demo.

I have a bunch of points left on my JPN PSN account, anyone have any idea when SSF2HDR will be available there and if it'll also have English and not be region locked? Lol. I guess I'll have to wait and find out, but the precedent is that Capcom released Bionic Commando Rearmed on the same day in JPN with English option, so I guess it's a possibility.

So......what's going on with National Geographic: Afrika. The press release said it was coming out in November 2008, and there isn't a lot of November left. :(

Other upcoming titles include "Rain Forests" and "Greencity," slated for next year from National Geographic, as well as "National Geographic: Africa," available next month from Sony.

Looks like December to me.

I was almost certain it had something to do with the engine they used, not exclusivity.

My backlog is too vast to purchase Episode 1 now but....is it any good? It certainly intrigues me.

This could be an expensive week. I'm definitely getting the Killers pack, and probably one of the Soundgarden songs (didn't know they were 99 cents). And of course there's Street Fighter.

Soldner X looks pretty cool too, that would be another chunk of change next week.

It's a fantastic time waster. They should totally do a iPhone port. Combat system is fun and the game is certainly witty. Solid game.

That HK music video with Sackboy is pretty bizarre. I thought it was interesting that some of the footage was from the pre-made levels, but some looked custom.
 
So will we Europeans (dirty scum that we apparently are) also get to enjoy some high definition street fighting or are we going to get screwed... again.

OldJadedGamer said:
Keep the free LBP costumes coming... the pay for ones, not so much.

I heartily concur, it doesn't hurt that the free ones have been the best ones. Although with the exception of that ridiculous t-shirt the pricing hasn't been too bad. I'll pick up the Snakeboy costume for £1.50 or under.
