Tomorrow our third DLC “Napalm & Cordite” will be released, allowing you to nail or toast your enemies with the addition of the Boltgun and Flamethrower. For those of you that might have only just picked up Killzone 2, or have not jumped on the DLC wagon yet, we’ve got an announcement to make.
Also going live tomorrow is a Bundle of map packs Steel & Titanium, Flash & Thunder and Napalm & Cordite combined. And we are calling it the ‘Map Pack Bundle’, original I know, but it does what it says on the lid.
So enjoy all the destruction and beauty of Killzone 2 Multiplayer DLC with these 6 great maps.

LBP Hits One Million Created Levels
One. Million. Levels.
Amazing, isn’t it? Just think, this means that a new level has been published roughly every 21 seconds since LittleBigPlanet launched.
In case you were wondering, those million levels have been played a total of 244 million times.
The fact that you keep coming back to play, create and share makes us feel all warm and happy.
To those of you who haven’t yet tried LittleBigPlanet, let me ask you a question. What the heck are you waiting for? With over a million different levels to play … don’t you think you might be missing out? :-)
Oh, and one last thing before I’m off to play some of these great user-generated creations on PlayStation Network: check back on this blog around the 18th of August. The folks at Media Molecule might have something interesting to tell you about then…

PSP GO Almost Had Two Analog Sticks
In the most recent issue of Game Informer Sony exec Shuhei Yoshida confirmed that the company "had a very serious discussion" on the subject of adding a second analog stick to the PSP GO, but ultimately decided against it due to worries over splintering the market.
"The PSP Go is designed to be perfectly compatible with the PSP-3000 and all the games that released before that," Yoshida said. For him, it's not a question of improving future games' controls but keeping parity with previous PSP iterations. "We are talking about the mid-life cycle of this platform," he says. Considering the PSP launched in the US in March of 2005, it appears as though Sony is sticking to its 10-year life cycle plan for the handheld.
I think it's a good idea not to include the second analog stick on the PSP GO, but please Sony include it from the start on the PSP2 so that FPS games work the way they should with two analog sticks.
Littlebigplanet History Pack!
Oufits are:
Genghis Khan the great ruler of the Mongol empire (my fave)
Mozart the composer
Boudica the warrior queen
Countess of Lovelace seen as creating the model for the very first computers using the analytical engine
These outfits come out on the 13th of August (the date on the picture is incorrect)
Looks like this pack comes with stickers as well according to the background!
If you could choose which famous people would be in the next pack who would you choose?
Ghandi? Christopher colombus?
I personally would go for Napoleon or Horatio Nelson
Release Schedules
Bayonetta, Bioshock 2, Mafia 2, Singularity and MAG have all slipped from 2009 release dates into 2010 release time frames it appears there are two reasons behind this. The first is the fact you will always get games that get pushed back due to problems or the over crowded holiday season were most of the years biggest games hit the shelves. The second reason is that sales are down a third in 2009 at this present time so publishers like Take2 have said this is the main problem for their games and are pushing them back in the hope the world recovers from recession in 2010 and also there will be less competition with other games as most of them are releasing in the holiday season.
Despite the delays to some games there are still plenty due this Autumn. Uncharted 2, Assassins Creed 2, Brutal Legend, Ratchet And Clank: A Crack In Time, Borderlands, The Saboteur, Gran Turismo 5, Blur, Dirt 2, Need For Speed: Shift, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, The Beatles: Rock Band, Lego Rock Band, Guitar Hero 5, Dragon Age: Origins, Alpha Protocol, Avatar and of course Modern Warfare 2 plus many many more. Additionally two of last year’s big hitters, Fallout 3 and LittleBigPlanet, are getting re-releases as Game Of The Year editions.
Hopefully this will mean from 2010 we will see more games releasing not just around the christmas period, games like killzone 2, MGS4 and Resident evil 5 have proven that you dont always need to release your games around the christmas period for them to be succesful. I would like to see more games released around the summer time to seeing how the kids are off from school here in the UK for a six week summer holiday, most of the big movies for kids release around this time to like Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince so why not release some of the big games in the summer to?
