Sackboy's a cute creation! Nay, adorable. But come on, LittleBigPlanet's not even out yet, Sony! You don't want to risk over-exposing the guy, do you? Course you don't. So it's puzzling that it's been announced today that he'll be made available as a downloadable character for PSN game Pain. Yes, that Pain. You could have at least made it Hot Shots Golf, he might have got a little more exposure (not to mention there's a precedent). What's next, High Velocity Bowling? More »

Pain producer Travis Williams has once again dropped in over at the official PlayStation Blog, this time revealing some of the trophies being added to the game in the upcoming Amusement Park expansion, due out on the 4th of September. There's a nice little selection of trophies, ranging from the impossible Gold "Affliction Addiction" - Get one billion points - to the more modest (in a way) Bronze trophy "Harder Dick's Balls, which challenges you to get all of Dick's Balls in the Block Party dumpster without resetting.

Sony's PAIN, released just last week on the PlayStation Network for the PlayStation 3, lets players inflict suffering on horribly dressed ragdolls for points. It also treats them to plenty of billboard-style in-game advertising. Sony's taking a somewhat unique approach to how it charges advertisers, however, as the PAIN's advertising scale increases for those planting ad spots in the game if more players are playing the game online.

Looks like Thursday's PlayStation Store update with bring PAIN with it, as the game's producer Jason Coker mentions at the official U.S. PlayStation blog. For those unaware of PAIN's premise, you essentially launch some hapless ragdoll of an avatar against all manner of things. Hence, PAIN. I played a bit of the game at Tokyo Game Show, but may not have spent enough time with it to "get" what it was all about. Coker walks you through in his latest entry. Hope they've got a demo planned to clue the clueless in. More »

If the recent overload of PLAYSTATION 3 and PSP announcements from Sony's Gamers Day has PlayStation fans floating on air, today's PlayStation Store update will bring them right back down to earth. While a flood of new media has been pouring from SCEA this week, you'll find absolutely none of it on the Store today. Want a hi-def video of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune? You won't get it. Pain? SOCOM? Bowling? No, no, and no. More »

I woke up Saturday morning after a Friday filled with at least 10 hours of playing Dragon Ball Z and Raving Rabbids on my Nintendo Wii, and my shoulders hurt like hell. I was sure I had slept wrong or something, since the pain felt similar to a stiff neck. It wasn't until later when I pulled out the Wiimote for some more crazy-haired fighting action that I realized where the pain was coming from. A day of holding my arms out and swinging them around had taken its toll on my poor, neglected muscles. Apparently I am not alone. Wall Street Journal, world renowned for its video game coverage, posted an article on Saturday related to the Wii-pain phenomenon, in which Nintendo's Perrin Kaplan addresses the issue. More »
