Who here loves Bomberman? Well, you’ll be glad to hear that the Hudson Gate public space arrives in PlayStation Home this week! Each disc of this futuristic space offers something new, from information on Hudson Soft games, to a store selling Bomberman outfits and Hudson Soft games. Stick around for the regular Dolphy races – correctly vote for winner of this sky race to win rewards!

If watching the Dolphy races isn’t enough for you, drop into the store and purchase the Dolphy Apartment, where you can raise your very own Dolphy to take part in races. Raise your young Dolphy to adulthood (takes 5 days), feed it with special digital fish to improve its stats, and enter it into the Dolphy race!

Kane and Lynch items arrive in the stores this week, with a range of clothing and furniture items from Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days.

PS3 Home – Poker

Yep, you read that right. We have been busy producing a Poker table here at work. Well not a real poker table as we are developers and not carpenters. However this new game is a lot of fun. I am sure most everyone know what poker is and how much fun it can be to play with friends. well that is what we have made.

I got to take part along with a lot of my workmates in a big playtest and videoing session yesterday afternoon. It was to work on some video for the promo of the poker table as well as do some serious testing. What a great way to spend the afternoon. All dolled up like pretty girl (which i most certainly cannot pretend i am in real life!) for the video shoot, and then i got to do some great poker playing.

It was all going really well till my 2 pair were taken by a flush that dropped on the 4th card, ARGH! I hate that Mike guy!. The whole office (or most of it) got to take part and it was a real break from all the work we have been doing lately. A real respite. It is also really nice to actually just play ya own stuff and enjoy it.

Needless to say, Brimstone poker will be out at the beginning of September barring any issues with the full test cycle. I have a picture of us in the Neptune suite playing.

That is me on the far table on the near left seat. YAY!

I think everyone will like this item. I have no idea how much it will cost, but it is a piece of scripted furniture. So it gets placed in your personal spaces. (up to two of them, gasp!)

Laters all

Ladies and gentlemen, step right up and marvel at this wondrous, bizarre game of crustacean-based skill! Judge the distance, set the power, take aim and FIRE! The more lobsters you can get into Oscar’s mouth, the higher your score and the further you’ll progress through the levels. Every level wins rewards for your personal space! The first level is available free; purchase and wear the staggering lobster suit costume for €1.99 / £1.59 to gain access to all 12 levels.

Once you’ve checked out the crustacean chaos of Oscar’s Lobster Mania, jump into the Navigator and head for the Irem Seaside of Memories. Summer might be winding down here, but in this beach space it’s always summer. Pick up your beach wear, then explore beneath the waves – where you could find a variety of rewards washed ashore! This week we also have an update to the Irem Square, where you’ll find new clothing and items waiting.
