We mentioned it was going to be BIG. Well, this news is so big we’re giving it its own blog space!

On Thursday Paramount Pictures International and AUDI AG will be launching a brand new Iron Man mini-game located in the Audi Space. As the first in-world game ever made for a film in Home, this is definitely worth your time to visit!

You will have the chance to throw on the Iron Man suit and pilot your way through a tricky skyscraper obstacle course, picking up arc reactors and dodging the mines to power your way onto the leaderboard.

If you make the leaderboard, then do your best to stay on it; the Top 10 scorers (when the game closes at the end of June 2010) will be rewarded with an Iron Man suit to keep. Do you have the raw talent – or sheer dedication – to prove that you have what it takes to wear the Iron Man suit?

To wet your appetites, check out the video below:

Don’t forget you can also grab a free Iron Man 2 t-shirt by completing the quiz available within the Audi Space. There are also plenty of clips, viral videos and trailers available to watch in the cinema.

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching! To help you celebrate in style, this week in PlayStationHome we have some great Valentine’s content! If you and your special someone enjoy spending time in PS Home, and in particular the SingStar space, we’ve got the event for you.

This week, SingStar will be updated with a Valentine’s themed dance area along with a mini-game aptly named Stupid Cupid. Pick a partner, get in the dance mood, and hit the dance floor: there’s a great new animated shirt for both male and female to be unlocked for those with the right moves! Once you’ve got your shirts, get your heart pumping on the animated dance floor.

The Valentine’s Day celebration doesn’t end there, though! We’ve got a fantastic emoticon bundle for male and female, so you can show your inner feelings, along with some amazing new tops. For the guys there is the “I’m Single” scrolling LED hoody and animated heart t-shirt. For the ladies there’s a scrolling LED “Love Stinks” shirt and animated heart shirt.

Come and visit the Audi Home Terminal in the Audi Space, where the Audi A1 will be revealed. You’ll be granted access to the currently locked showroom, with a model of the car on display and a web terminal with detailed information about “The next big Audi.”

Assassin’s Creed sneaks its way into PS Home this week with a massive offering in Threads. We’ve got several bundles available that are sure to be a hit! First up is the fantastic Ezio costume from Assassin’s Creed 2, available for both male and female. If the original is more your style, we’ve also got male and female versions of the Altair costume. Being an Assassin not your style? Then hunt them down wearing the guard costume; once again, for both male and female. Finally, for the women only, there’s the courtesan bundle.

Furniture more to your liking? Ligne Roset updates this week with a large range of new furniture: tables, chairs, sofas and footstools, there’s 18 new items in total.

Hi guys,

We have an enormous PlayStation Home update for you tomorrow – including three new spaces and a bevy of brand new items. Here’s everything you need to know:

Gravity Crash

First up, we have a brand new SCEE event coming to you tomorrow themed around the awesome retro PSN shooter Gravity Crash, aptly titled: Gravity Crash: Maze to the Mothership!

Head for the Presentation Podium (located under the PS Home stack of chips) where you will find an enormous PSN logo that will teleport you to the brand new neon maze. There are two prizes on offer here, one if you complete the maze (which isn’t easy) and another for collecting all of the crystals along the way (which is even harder!). Successful maze-completers will be rewarded with a fully animated Gravity Crash suit for their avatar (one of the best costumes yet if I do say so myself…)

As always, this space will only be open for a limited time so make sure you head on over to the Presentation Podium ASAP for some retro mazing action.

LittleBigPlanet

It’s arrived, the first wave of LittleBigPlanet content for PS Home is here!
