Tomorrow you can look forward to the Dark Void demo coming to PSN. Capcom’s science-fiction, third-person shooter is coming in under the radar for a lot of people. I have been looking at this game for awhile now and I’m intrigued about this third person shooter where you spend a lot of time flying and using jetpacks.

Well I guess I will get my chance like the rest of you this Thursday. Check it out and let me know what you think?

Firmware 3.10 went live earlier today, bringing with it Facebook integration facilities, a colour palette for your gamercard, and a more convenient way to view and manage pictures and photographs. Of course there was no mention of error 80022A07.

For anyone who has yet to encounter error code [80022A07], the code signifies a trophy synchronisation failure, and prevents you from accessing your profile. It also makes it impossible to change the colour of your gamercard.

Not everyone is experiencing it but if you are they say to just install firmware 3.10 and it should solve the problem “should” being the keyword here.

A new PSP-3000 bundle is available today, on the day that Assassin’s Creed II is available for the PlayStation 3 as well. Italso includes the Assassin’s Creed: Bloodlines PSP game and a PlayStation Network Voucher for the Angels & Demons movie.

Packed in the Assassin’s Creed: Bloodlines PSP Entertainment Bundle:
- White PSP-3000 system
- 2GB Memory Stick PRO Duo
- Assassin’s Creed: Bloodlines UMD game
- Angels & Demons movie PlayStation Network Voucher
- Sony Music Voucher for 10 song downloads

Those excited about Braid will be happy to know that the popular Xbox 360 arcade title will be making a home on PSN on November 12th.  No word on the European release date, although it will be after the North American date.

Braid is a puzzle/platforming game that takes you through a series of unique worlds to solve puzzles and save the princess, who has been abducted by a horrible creature.  I played it and was impressed with it, but not the price tag. You too will have to fork out $14.99 if you want this title.

I say wait a while until you can get a discount, like you could on Xbox Live.

Lotsa rumours flying about whether or not there will be trophies for the map pack coming up for World at War on the PS3. Treyarch certainly isn’t saying anything about the matter.

If you look here at this site you will see trophies for map packs 1, 2, 3 and 4? I don’t know how worthy this information is but it’s something to look forward to if it’s true.

Well it seems that LittleBigPlanet will not be moving forward with a sequel. Martin Lynagh stated “what you’ve seen so far from LittleBigPlanet that’s the way it’s going to continue” he is referring to DLC and updates for the existing game.

Danny Lever a level designer said “a sequel would fragment the LBP community” He stated he “would never want to do that as it would be the most counterproductive thing you could do”

Sounds like they are on our side from a gamers perspective.  If only Valve had taken the same stance for the L4D community.

On the Europe PSN store update this week, several expansion packs have been released for various games. More songs can be purchased for both Rock Band and Guitar Hero: World Tour on the PS3 as well as for Rock Band Unplugged. Many addons for Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 have also been added.

Another week, another PSN update and this time round, it’s an exciting update!

Notably, Sony have added WipEout HD, a two-player, adrenaline filled ride which is a must for any speed fan out there. Burnout Paradise is also debuting this week. Both WipEout HD and Burnout Paradise are top ranking games so Sony should have a huge grin on it’s corporate face right now with such a superb update for the PSN! There is also the usual collection of demos, trailers and themes along with some new Rock Band tracks, available for download.
