SPFIITHDR sports a shiny 1080p make-over, full online play with leaderboards, and tweaked gameplay balance -- all things fans of the game should greatly appreciate. Anybody else going to get their jeweled Hadouken on?

Moving from Christ to Lair: creating the music
And he also offers a sample [Download MP3] of one of the tracks from the game. In typical Factor 5 fashion, it is incredibly epic. No, it's not from some big-budget movie ... this will be coming from your PS3 when the game comes out next month.
Not sure where to find PS3 wallpapers?

Where's Rampage?
According to Sony, this week they released the Midway arcade classic, Rampage: World Tour through the PlayStation Store. There's a problem though. Rampage is not actually available for download in most places in North America. We have reports of people on the east coast being able to download it, but for most people on the west coast - Rampage is conspicuously absent.For many people (me included), the ONLY thing added this week was the Joust video. Whats up, Sony? When you say a game is available for download, it's a good idea to actually make it downloadable.
*Update*
It looks like Rampage is available to some people on the west coast after all. It appears its a lot more random than we thought. We'll let you know if we hear from Sony about what happened.
Calling All Cars due for release tonight!
Finally, after a month or so of doing the will-it-won't-it dance, David Jaffe's Calling All Cars has a set release date: Today! It will appear alongside Rampart (as promised) as part of the US PlayStation Store line-up tonight. There's no word on when it will be coming to Europe, but we're hoping it'll be within the next few weeks.
The full line-up for tonight is as follows:
- Calling All Cars ($9.99)
- Rampart ($4.99)
- Warhawk video (free)
- Burnout Paradise trailer (free)
- Rampage video (free)

Rampart this Thursday!
It's like Nick said, sometimes 1080p just doesn't really matter ...
What's waiting in The Darkness? New multimedia info, that's what
Fancy some new details about The Darkness? Go on then, you've twisted my arm. If you've been keeping an eye on the Myspace page for the game then you'll probably already know this, but for those who haven't I'm here to relay Lord Sonatine's message. Here's the skinny:- Release date: Confirmed for the 25th of June
- Demos: No cover discs. Expect to see a downloadable demo on the PLAYSTATION Store three weeks before release.
- Videos: Three in the works. One is ready and is working on being approved. Apparently we'll LOVE it. Two other videos, showing off multiplayer and 'supernatural elements' of the game, have started being produced.
- Pre-order: Doing so at EB or Gamestop will net you an in-game 2K Sports Darkling.
[Thanks, Ben Furneaux]

LittleBigPlanet demo this fall?
Fresh from the German site Gamefront.de comes news that Sony is planning on releasing a demo for LittleBigPlanet over the PlayStation Network this fall in the USA. The quirky platformer has captured the hearts and imagination of PlayStation fans all over since it was shown-off at this year's GDC, so this is good news indeed.And if you've missed it, I highly recommend grabbing the HD trailer for LittleBigPlanet from the Playstation Store. It's a large download (450 MB), but it is well worth it. I still giggle in excitement every time I watch it.
Devil May Cry 4 week had started, this was Monday
Like it or not, 3D action really got its start on the PlayStation 2 with the original Devil May Cry. There hadn't been a game quite like it (well, games with bad stories have always existed, but using the bad story as a cheesy joke is pretty cool too), and ever since there have been a lot of games that look and feel similar. The speed, intensity, difficulty, swords n' gun action... it was all there. According to this trailer released Monday, it's still there and looking awesome. We'll keep you posted on the week of DMC4 as it progresses. Because time will keep going.
Awesome Alone in the Dark trailer, nuff said [update]
It's time for another flowery post on a game that I'm personally excited about. We're talking about Alone in the Dark -- headed to the PS3, 360, and PC "later this year". We've talked about it a few times before, but we haven't had anything really exciting to show you other than our fantastic mad writing skillz. The "z" makes them more extreme... or X-treme, as the case may be. Now things are changing -- we've got a trailer for you to download and it's pretty excellent (you'll have to click the "launch player" button on the right of the website).It starts off with a "everything you see is real-time gameplay footage" disclaimer which makes the following scenes all the more impressive. Taking place around events focusing on the pseudo-mystery of Central Park in New York City, something supernatural is out to get you! Whatever... the trailer does a much better job of setting the story up. Anything that gets an insane choir singing in some other language (reminded me a little of the Ghost in the Shell movies/series... and a bit of Suikoden III's opening) is going to get gamers pumped. Let us know what you think.
[update: apparently the trailer is really old, but it doesn't change the fact that it's cool, right?]
F.E.A.R. PS3/360 comparison video
From what Factor 5's Julian Eggebrecht said, we should already know that the 360 version of F.E.A.R. will look superior to the PlayStation 3 because of how the two console's hardware is arranged (ports from PS3 to the 360 would actually be easier and look identical, supposedly). The video above may surprise you at just how similar the game looks on both consoles. The PS3 seems brighter, the 360 seems shinier, but overall it's the same game. Cool.
Time to get your label makers at the ready, PS3 font for you!
Ever since its debut, worldwide people have taken note of that awesome PlayStation 3 font -- the Spider-Man font. It turns out everybody was just jealous that their computer didn't have the font available. Well, someone who really loved the font has tossed it up for downloadsies on the internet. We would have typed this post up using it, but you know. Protocol, rules, whatever. We don't really have much else to say about this except to go ahead and download the font, somehow connect a label maker to your computer and slap up PS3-fonts on all of your goodies. If you actually do that and send us a picture, we'll gladly use them on our posts.
GTA IV -- real life spoof trailer
This is a great weekend post because sometimes, after a hard week of working and reading news, you just need something to stare at and blankly chortle to yourself. Yes, we said chortle -- what're ya gonna do about it? Whoever put this real-life GTAIV trailer together deserves props, because we all know Liberty City is just a mask to disguise the truth. Enjoy, guys and gals.
Beautiful, high-res, direct-feed screens of Ratchet & Clank
These screens aren't just any ol' screenshots, these are huge, high-res screens that demand your complete attention (and for the fanatics, wallpaper-ization). The game looks absolutely glorious, so check out their site, see if you like what you see and take a chance when the game comes out! Everything is worth a rental, or a borrow from a rich friend...
