The enigmatic Journey arrives on the PlayStation Store this Wednesday and to mark this event we have put together a little something for you in PS Home. Immerse yourself in the mysterious beauty of the Journey space and see if you can unlock its secrets…

GAME are delighted to announce the arrival of Superhero Madhouse, the third release in their series of exclusive-to-PlayStation Home arcade cabinets.

With five challenging levels of 2D side-scrolling 8-bit beat-em-up madness, can you help the hero rescue the Diamond of a Thousand Princesses? Can you unlock all 15 medals as you progress through the asylum attempting to stop the dastardly Captain Wacko?

You can tackle Captain Wacko and his cronies in the GAME Moonbase using arcade tokens or buy the “Superhero Madhouse – Arcade Cabinet” for unlimited plays in your personal spaces and clubs. Purchasing the cabinet also gives you the full range of Superhero Madhouse clothing as an added bonus – KAPOW!

Get into the St. Patrick’s day spirit with Sprocket O’Cog! You’re sure to glimpse a pot o’ gold behind every rainbow with this adorable new companion from Juggernaut Games. Check out Sprocket and all the other MechPets in Series 1 at the Stuff store!

Keep up with the spring trends with some fresh new gear from the very popular Billabong. Why not try the new Fargo Flannel hooded top, with some Stripe Platinum X Walkshorts… Or if you want to go smarter, try the striped Spinner tops. Available in the Billabong store.

You may think you know the Minotaur’s story, but you do not. The one who called himself a hero was really a betrayer. Strong and intelligent, Enkomi unlocked the secrets of his labyrinth prison and made his escape. Rising above his mistreatment, he has harnessed the beast utilising its bullish strength as and when he chooses.

Become Enkomi the Minotaur and unleash the power of the bull! Demonstrate Enkomi’s awesome strength by pounding the ground.

A new age of Fool Throttle is dawning.

PlayStation Home will be offline from 8AM GMT on Wednesday 7th March for routine maintenance. Here is what to expect after the update…

Come visit the subconscious of nRage! A place to socialise and purchase quality items from top brands such as Atticus, the original music inspired street wear label created by Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge from Blink-182. New areas and brands will be added regularly, so make sure to check back often.

Drey usher in the Spring with some fresh new looks. The Bonita range is European, chic and figure-hugging for ladies who can rock a strong outfit. Bright colours and vegetable prints are a nod to what’s hot on the world’s fashion runways. Trusted staples like platform heels and a simple ponytail keep the outfits from looking overworked.

Male Drey fans can evoke sixties America in the sleek Retro leather jacket and chinos. Complete the look with a slick hairstyle and two-tone shades. Ultimate Bundles with colours to suit all tastes are available in store now!

Also this week, Granzella present… Fossil Digging and Wedding Ceremony!

The fossil excavation area is opening at the Southern Island Hideaway. Now players can enjoy the thrills of excavating fossils! The fossils should be located in the rock wall, which can be reached by the hanging scaffolding. However the ropes holding the scaffolding are only so strong. To determine the optimal strategy for excavation, players must consider both how much to dig and its impact on the rope’s stability. A fall to the ground will cause the player’s fossils to break, not to mention it’ll be quite an embarrassment!

If a player has recently dug up a fossil that they don’t recognise, they can try asking the expert appraiser just under the stairs. Fossil excavation can be done once per day.

The wedding ceremony venue is located in the Southern Island Hideaway on the edge of a cliff overlooking the sea. Here, players can take a ceremonial oath to love each other. A couple that makes their vows here will be given a special ring to celebrate their love.

Last up this week, Konami invites you to fly across the globe in your personal luxury plane. Available in the Estates store in the Shopping Centre, this plane comes with elegant furniture and a minigame.
Impress your friends with the Jacuzzi in the back or the many sofas for relaxing throughout the plane. Play. Relax. Enjoy!
