New “Department” at the PlayStation Store: The Capcom Storefront- I’m loving what the team is doing for the PlayStation Store.  I admit that I’ve forgotten whether this is applying to all versions of the Store, or just the US version.  My brain’s scrambled these days!  I’m particularly impressed with all the dev replies in the [...]

LittleBigPlanet is here, and gamers everywhere are giddy with excitement- and that’s just the adults!  Children are going to love this game, as in fact, will anyone really.  From what I’ve experienced, I can totally see how this can be a cult classic for the cool, hardcore gamers, but still be fun for all the [...]
