We’re updating the Shopping Centre this week, as LOOT move in with their own store. Replacing the Diesel store, the LOOT store is a massive vault where you’ll be able to pick up everything LOOT related. Launching concurrently with the new store is LOOT’s arcade game Cabin Boy, which can be added to any personal space. Even better, the furniture piece is now available in two styles to choose from! Cabin Boy challenges you to a retro game involving juggling multiple tasks – such as catching fish – to post the highest score you can. And keep an eye out for more to come soon!

Also available in PlayStation Home this week is a new hairstyle from Lockwood. For furnishing your apartment there’s a pair of wonderfully detailed Sun and Earth lamps. From Sodium there’s new teleporter pads that you can place in your personal space to get from one side to the other faster than ever before.

Looking for something new to decorate your personal space and a fan of Street Fighter 4? Good news this week, then, as the Street Fighter 4 statuettes have arrived! There’s a huge collection of characters to choose from – or collect them all!

Check out Alter Ego this week for a range of Top Gun outfits, including flight suits of the iconic characters Maverick, Goose and Iceman alongside khaki and dress uniforms. Finally, Dead Rising 2 shuffles its way into the stores, with a selection of clothing and unique weapon ornaments.

Hello and welcome to this week’s comic update!

Dragon Age is back with issue #3 today! After a family tragedy, Gleam and her two brothers go on the road to find the killers and attract some very, very unwanted demonic attention. The suitably epic story should please all fans of fantasy, particularly fans of the Dragon Age game: created with the support of the BioWare team, this comic adaptation allows them to delve deeper into the Dragon Age world and its intricate history and dynamics – with all new stories! Read more from Aaron Johnston, the series’ co-writer, and his love for the Dragon Age world here.

The weekly Silent Hill comic tradition continues with Silent Hill: The Grinning Man. In this stand alone story we meet State Trooper Robert Tower, who has patrolled eerie Silent Hill for ten years while managing never to see its demonic inhabitants. As you can guess his luck is about to change… with the arrival of the gun-slinging double-barrelled terror Grinning Man. Illustrated by Nick Skatal (Hyde, Containment) and penned by Silent Hill favourite Scott Ciencin.

We also have an oldie but goodie series starting this week: the master of mutants himself in his first solo series… Wolverine (1982). Written by comic legends Chris Claremont and Frank Miller, Wolverine (1982) brings you the usual Logan mayhem, intrigue, and even romance! Issues #1 and #2 see Wolverine travelling to Japan to join the master of ninjas and to hook up with the infamous ronin Yukio.

DC Comics bring us many cool comics this week (see the list below), but today I will focus on the quirky and popular series Victorian Undead. “Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth”, said Sherlock Holmes. So what will he make of a Biblical proportion zombie plague, slowly destroying Victorian London? Follow his investigation and admire his zombie-dodging skills in this fast-paced mini series, of which issue #4 is out today.

And finally I’m pleased to announce that the Transformers: Spotlight series continues with Blurr and Jazz! Blurr is faced with a decision that could change the face of Cybertron (and not for the best), and Jazz gets tracked by the Predacons, in a situation that goes from bad to hopeless… These are the 21st and 22nd instalments of the expansive Spotlight series, so check out the other issues to find your other favourite characters.

Don’t forget to check out our free comics section, where you will find new additions Dual #1 and Supertron #1… and many more! In the meantime, here is the full list of releases: (more…)

Good afternoon all.

In the spirit of the speedy blue one that graces us this week, I’m going to keep my intro short and sweet. Here we go….

…thanks very much, enjoy this week’s content!

Okay, okay.

(None of you probably read this anyway, and I’m in a rush, much like our blue friend) You can grab Sonic Adventure, the next Deathspank instalment, join a new hero in Blade Kitten, ride the plains again with your posse (or simple race them in the new mode) with more DLC for Red Dead Redemption, and enjoy all the other goodies as listed below. We even have PSP content this week, rejoice

How’s that for concise…and I won’t accept accusations of laziness!

*Deathspank: Things of Virtue for one week only comes bundled with the DLC packs released separately next week.

See you in the comments.
