Watchmen fans get ready! This Thursday MediaMolecule is adding four Watchmen costumes to the PlayStation Store for LittleBigPlanet. The costume pack will let you dress up as one of four Watchmen characters: The Nite Owl II, Ozymandias, Rorschach, and The Silk Spectre II. Unfortunately, there is no Dr. Manhattan, but you can always remove all the clothes of Sackboy and use the blue material…
Robert Bowling, Infinity Ward’s director of communications and community manager, has confirmed that the studio has no plans to release a demo of Modern Warfare 2 prior to the game’s launch on November 10th. Posting on his Twitter, Bowling revealed that the team are far too busy adding the final spit and polish to the retail version of the hotly anticipated shooter to ship a demo before release.
The PSPgo launches later this week and brings with it a UMD-less future. To aid in the launch of the new PSP model, Sony has uploaded 16,000 downloadable its, from games and movies to TV shows (region dependent). However, not all of this is new content. If you live in the US, you will have access to all 16,000 items – but as for Europe, the number is significantly less. See below for a breakdown of content.
If you are thinking of upgrading to the PSPgo but have a load of old PSP accessories, there is a accessory that can help you out. The PSPgo Converter allows you to use accessories like the Go!Camera, GPS device and other devices. The converter costs $20 and makes the PSPgo less portable due to its large size. Of course, spending $20 is a lot cheaper than forking out on all the new accessories available, but there it would also be cheaper to just stick with your older PSP and make use of those UMD games you have lying around.
Gaming fans can look forward to taking control of the SLS AMG in the Gran Turismo 5. Mercedes-Benz Japan has issued a official press release that confirms the SLS AMG will be included in Gran Turismo 5.

Earlier this week, we reported that LittleBigPlanet will be getting motion controller support via a patch when the motion controller is available next year. During the TGS presentation, Sony showed off exactly how the motion controller will be used and we have included the video for you below. The four minute demo shows two players playing the game; one using the DualShock 3 controller to mode Sackboy around and the other using the motion controller to move objects around.
Mercenaries 2: World in Flames is an explosive open-world action game set in a massive, highly reactive, war-torn world. A power-hungry tyrant messes with Venezuela’s oil supply, sparking an invasion that turns the country into a warzone. But for you, international crisis is all upside: You are a mercenary, and you profit from chaos.
This week on the US Video Store, you can get nostalgic for the 1980s (and for summer!) when you rent Adventureland, a sweet coming-of-age story centered around a recent college grad who takes a nowhere job at his local amusement park (trailer below). As for this week’s top movie downloads, X-Men Origins: Wolverine is on top followed by Next Day Air and Observe and Report.
Square-Enix has done a good job of keeping most everything about the game under the table and all that has done is left fans more eager. Below you will find a summary of everything we know about the game so far, including details of the battle system and details on some of the characters.
