Looks like Sony and Media Molecule are going to update the community on a regular schedule now with their “SACK IT TO ME” posts. The first installment contained two interesting pieces of info. The first of which is stats from LittleBigPlanet itself:

• # of user generated (UG) levels = 177,657
• # of comments = 1,093,491
• # of times Story levels have been played online = 36,661,881
• # of times UG levels have been played online = 22,463,892
• # of levels played online = 59,125,403

That’s a whole lot of levels being played online. And the number of user generated levels isn’t something to scoff at either.

Next, they’ve said that they’re working on a better searching solution. No further details were revealed, but at least they’ve acknowledged the request.

Update: Oh snap! GameInformer will have the world exclusive feature in their next issue. The sequel will be called Uncharted: Among Thieves.

How can you get me to watch the SpikeTV VGAs? Show me this:

Uncharted 2 world premiere?! I’ll be there! Or I could patiently wait for the trailer to hit the web so I don’t have to put up with embarrassing B-list actors pretending they care about video games.

Did you hear? YouTube is finally offering “HD” videos and QSF5.com is hopping onboard with this trailer from the upcoming PSN game, Soldner-X.

Pretty, isn’t?

Söldner-X: Himmelsstürmer will be released for PlayStation Network on December 4th, 2008 — that’s 10 days shy of being one year later than the PC version. They’re asking just $9.99 USD for it as well.

This game’s checklist is impressive (1080p visuals, Trophy support, 2p co-op), but I’m not the biggest fans of horizontal shooters. Hopefully there will be demo for all of us to try.

You can checkout some info and screenshots here.

Street Fighter IV was given an official release date after some speculation, and now the folks at Capcom have confirmed that Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo: HD Remix will be available next week.

The PlayStation Network version will debut on Tuesday, November 25th with the Xbox Live! Arcade version debuting on the very next day.

I’ve been vocal about my lack of interest in this remake, especially in the light of Street Fighter IV’s debut in just a few short months.

Nothing else needs to be said. My beloved Street Fighter IV will join Killzone 2 in February 2009. North America will be blessed with the title on the 17^th while the Europeans get it on the 20^th. Oh, and it’s for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Great news, Capcom! Thanks! Now give us more details about those arcade sticks.

They’re not frightening. I lied. It’s just fifteen screenshots which were reduced from super high resolutions for you all to gawk at. It’s Resident Evil 5. It looks gorgeous and it comes out next year. Who cares? Focus on 2008’s plethora of titles!

On the plus side, thanks to Capcom, we do have an awesome 2009 first quarter to look forward to.

This Tokyo Game Show 2008 story trailer of Level 5’s White Knight Chronicle manages stir interest and excitement for the game. Well, for me anyways. The screenshots and the other videos were alright, but it was this well crafted trailer which did it for me. The PS3 could sure use a solid JRPG like this.

Japanese PS3 owners get to pick this title up on this upcoming Christmas day. The rest of the world will have to wait.

I grabbed the free costumes last week, but ignored the paid stuff. Paying dollars for digital costumes? No, thanks. Anymore freebies on the way? Just one this week. A Venus fly trap costume which won the “Design-a-Sackboy” contest.

Additionally, there are several paid costumes this week. There’s the MotorStorm costume which will cost you $1.99 and four “Animal” ones which will cost $0.99 each. You can save yourself a bit of money by purchasing all four for just $2.99.

The animals include a frog, a penguin, a gorilla and a shark. It’s all very nice, but I’ll take the freebie and leave the rest.

Another week, another nineteen screenshots from everyone’s favorite HD remake of Super Street Fighter 2: Turbo. This batch features Sagat, Fei-long and more Akuma.

Can’t go wrong for more Akuma.
