"We’re looking into it. Since we haven’t sent out a single disc, it greatly reduces the number of places this might have come from."

No one can doubt the incredible popularity of PixelJunk Monsters. That game continues to sell, months after its release. Now, the PixelJunk team wants you to try Eden, their latest game. As a bonus, they’ll give you a free download of the Monsters Encore expansion. The add-on pack adds 15 new levels (and a random level generator). This should be a deal for those that love PJM and are looking for something new.

The deal ends on 10/16.

[Thanks, Remix!]

So, apparently the PS3 version of Alone in the Dark is so radically different from the 360 version, that it merits a brand new title. Eden Studios has tried its best to appease critics of the original release by taking their feedback and rolling it into this new premium PS3 edition. Alone in the Dark: Inferno, as it will be called when it finally launches on PS3, is the definitive version of the game. Not only will it have better controls, but it will even have additional gameplay in the form of an extra chapter.

We have preview code waiting for us back in the US. Once we get our hands on it, you’ll certainly find out if Eden Studios was successful. Trailer is embedded after the break. (You must be 18 or older to watch — it’s an M rated game, y’know.)

It isn’t too long until PS3 owners can get their hands on Trusty Bell Eternal Sonata. We’re hoping that the PS3 version, which includes a significant number of extras over the 360 original, will do exactly one thing: explain what the heck a Trusty Bell is. The original game had absolutely no bells at all — that’s pretty untrustworthy to us.

In an interview with Eurogamer, Sony’s president of Worldwide Studios Shuhei Yoshida said he’d like to see both the PS3 and Xbox 360 succeed in Japan. “I’d really like to see both PS3 and 360 succeed here … What Microsoft is offering and what we are offering are closer, compared to what other platforms are offering. Because of that commonality, the new games coming out on 360 and PS3 help to get consumers more interested in this generation of gaming.” These statements might sound shocking to the typical fanboy, but with the Nintendo Wii trumping the combined sales of the PS3 and 360 week after week, Yoshida might be onto something here.

Yoshida even praises the new Xbox Experience, set to launch November 19th. Some see the Xbox Experience as a rival to Sony’s own Home service. “I think it’s quite nice. I like the avatar designs they’re working on. Personally, Microsoft’s work is closer to my personal preference. The Miis are very nice, but everybody looks cute, like Japanese-style characters.”

Do you guys think Yoshida’s logic is sound? Will interest in the 360 or the PS3 lead to a higher interest in high-def gaming in general? Or do you think consumers are generally happy to choose one over the other? Or are they already satisfied with their Wiis? For the full interview, head over to Eurogamer.

Bringing the Heat
The Fire element has been known to be pretty straight forward with physical attacks, and deck 3 brings some new and useful cards to help assist that on top of a couple of new and very useful abilities.

Flame Lizard Barracks (card #216)
Flame Lizard Barracks completely changes strategy as it has the unique ability to let any allied creature move to any empty field, facing any direction instead of using an attack option. Just think of the possibilities. Does your opponent have a card attacking one of yours? Move it next turn to get it out of harms way! A very useful card for any deck.

Torrid Nightmare (card #221)
Like a lot of Church of Parmus cards, Torrid Nightmare has some brutal effects on the opposition. With Torrid Nightmare on the board, each time an allied Church of Parmus creature is destroyed, all other allied creatures gain 1 HP. That alone would make this card a must have for any Church of Parmus deck, but it gets even better. Torrid Nightmare attacks all enemies that are the same race as the target, and if the attack doesn’t kill a target, it loses half of it’s HP. Nightmare seems like a fitting card name to me.

Wet n’ Wild
Water creatures are always crafty and slippery, and the new Water creatures in Set 3 are no exception.

Siam’s Sentinel (card #235)
Siam’s Sentinel lives up to it’s name and then some. Not only does it’s attack hit both fields in front of it, all allied creatures facing the same way as Siam’s Sentinel gain perfect dodge while Siam’s Sentinel is on a non-Biolith field.. Now that would be a welcome addition to any deck.

Missionary Ship (card #239)
The Missionary Ship is one of the most complex and therefore one of the most interesting creatures to appear in Eye of Judgment. It has a laundry list of abilities that when coupled with other cards abilities create fantastic results. First on the list is any time an allied creature is adjacent to the Missionary Ship, the affiliation of all non-Biolith creatures in your library, hand, and on the board change to Church of Parmus. Now couple that with a Torrid Nightmare (card #221) or a Parmetic Vengeress (card #255) and you’ll have some real firepower at your disposal.

Now for the new to Set 3 Interrupt ability. When an enemy creature uses an attack action when Missionary Ship is on a non-Biolith field, you can choose to discard 2 creature cards from your hand to cancel the action! Oh, and your opponent loses the mana the just tried to spend on attacking you.

And yes, there is one more feature to this creature that needs to be revealed. Each time you summon a creature to a non-fire field, you can choose a non-Ultra Rare creature from the library with the same affiliation as the summoned creature, reveal it to the eye, add it to your hand, then shuffle your library.

Getting down and dirty
Earth creatures have been known to cause headaches by flipping fields, and in Set 3 there’s some new tricks that are going to raise some eyebrows for being borderline filthy!

Stone Wing Veteran (card #245)
Have you ever had an opponent on a strict mana budget use cubics to get those high cost cards out? Well the Stone Wing Veteran will make them pay big time. If your opponent sacrifices a creature to summon another, you gain mana equal to the number of open fields. So if the other player starts off the game with a cubic, pull out a Stone Wing Veteran and dare them to sacrifice it!

Callous Gaiakhan (card #257)
Callous Gaiakhan is the hard hitter of the Set 3 Earth creatures. With an attack of 5 plus the total mana of both players, Callous Gaiakhan makes short work of nearly any creature. But on top of it’s amazing attack power, it also gives all adjacent allies +2 protection. Callous Gaiakhan also has a unique ability to 1 magic damage to all adjacent enemies when either player gains mana outside of the mana charge phase while Callous Gaiakhan is on a non-Biolith field.

Going green (and mean!)
The Wood creatures are coming out of the forest to reek havoc on everything in their way by downright causing frustration for opposing players. Whether its looking at the other player’s hand, destroying their mana, or turning your creatures invisible, the Set 3 Wood creatures are ready to go.

Slumbertrap (card #260)
If you’ve ever wanted to know what was in your opponents’ hand so you could plan your strategy accordingly, Slumbertrap was made for you. When you summon a Slumbertrap, your opponent must show you their current hand. That by itself is incredibly useful, but Slumbertrap has another trick up its leaves. If there’s an allied Sleeptrap (card #58 from Set 1) on the board, all allied Plant creatures add 1 to their attack in your resolution phase, making the Slumbertrap a must have for any Plant based deck.

Moggy Howdah (card #270)
Moggy Howdah has one of the most useful abilities in the entire Eye of Judgment world. When you place Moggy Howdah on a non-Biolith field, all allied creatures facing the same direction as Moggy Howdah gain invisibility. Here’s a great tip going with the theme of Set 3 working with Set 1 and 2. If you have an Edin the Persecuted (card # 68) on a Wood Field and Moggy Howdah on a wood field both facing the same direction, they both become invisible as well as any other allied creatures facing the same way.

"A source who wishes to remain anonymous so as he puts it "won’t get hunted down", has sent along a wealth of pictures of him un-boxing the US version of Little Big Planet. As well as the physical un-boxing of the game, he has also sent a long a variety of screens"

Age of Booty, Capcom’s multiplayer pirate strategy game, will “soon” (Capcom’s official blog indicates an October 16th date) be available on the PlayStation Network Store according to a new post on the PlayStation Blog. The post states that the game will sell for only $9.99 when it launches and will support 8-player online multiplayer (4-player local). A demo will be made available a couple of weeks later, which will expire after a certain time. This may sound unfair, but the demo will allow you to play online, so it all balances out.

We had some time with the game at E3 earlier this year and we enjoyed what we played. It’s a real-time strategy game where you are tasked with pillaging coastal villages and removing other pirate threats before they do the same to you. Check the PlayStation Blog for a more in-depth explanation of the game. Age of Booty will ship with a map editor, so if you’re the creative type you’ll have something a little extra to play with. These maps will be uploadable for other players to download. There are hints that the title will support trophies, even if it hasn’t quite been confirmed yet. As always, we’ll keep you updated on that.
