Fire up your copies of LittleBigPlanet and you'll get the prompt to download the latest update, 1.11. The update hit yesterday afternoon,  clocking in at approximately 38MB. It took me about five minutes or so to download, which is great considering the PSN is usualy dog slow for me!  Remember that this is not the Cornish Yarg update (that'll be 1.12), but a fix to patch various DLC. 

Action-horror fans will want to take note of this little announcement found in Nintendo Power. Silent Hill: Shattered Memories will be appearing on the Wii as a remake, complete with motion controls and a slightly alternative storyline. Events will unfold in a different order, and your choices in the game affect how the game unfolds. Pretty exciting if you ask us!

Oh, EA. We were praising you just yesterday, and now you've proven once again that you're just another money-hungry conglomeration.

Apparently, if you want the cool weapons, you'll have to shell out some cash for DLC that will be released a few weeks from now. New maps will also be available via DLC, and we have no doubt that most of this content is already on the disk. The game hasn't even been released yet.  This is just another way for EA to nickle and dime you. Our advice: don't buy this shitty DLC, save your money to support developers who don't try to rip you off by selling you access to content that's already on the disk. 

EA's on a roll lately with the good news. I think the mega-publisher is finally realizing that you don't piss off your consumers, especially during tough financial times. While we'd like to think that they're doing this out of the goodness of their hearts, we strongly suspect it's a bottom-line issue: profits. People are getting pissed off with the fascist DRM methods and aren't buying their games. They're opting to pirate them in some cases, and we can't blame them.

A week ago EA announced that the Sims 3 was ditching intrusive DRM. Now, it seems, the publisher is going one step further - unlocking any EA PC game published afer May 2008. Show your support for this awesomeness and tell EA you appreciate it!

That just-announced PlayStation 2 price cut sure isn't impressing anyone, including Microsoft.  The PS2 is what, like 9 years old now?  For people out there who are a bit behind the times and just now buying a console, it might be a good starter system. There are tons of games available for it, to be had on the cheap. However, that's the key point here - anyone just now buying a PS2 is probably not going to spend a lot of money on software. They'll be buying used games, or bargain bin games, and how does that help Sony? Or hurt Microsoft? 

Come on, Sony, announce the damn PS3 price cut already.

In what must be the most "who gives a shit" moment of recent history, Sony has announced a price drop for the ever-popular PlayStation 2. The system can now be had for a mere $99, which, in all seriousness, still seems ridiculous when you can get an Xbox 360 for $199.

The as yet-unnanounced PS3 price drop, which is coming,  would have been much more exciting, don't you think? What are you waiting for, Sony? Wholesale prices don't drop for no reason. We'll just sit back, kick our feet up, and watch it all unfold.

Damn you, iPhone! Every time I think I've resisted you, someone announces another great game or feature heading to the platform. And it IS a platform - we can no longer kid ourselves into thinking it's just a phone. It's not. It's a gaming system, too.

The much-anticipated Ghostbusters game, due this summer, has been officially announced for the iPhone. So, if you don't have a PSP or DS, this is great news for you - and, it will likely cost less than their PSP counterparts.
