Not many great things are remembered from the 2008 E3 press conference, but, we've learned, when Jack Tretton promises something, you can take it to the bank.

A pair of THQ demos leads this week's worthwhile downloads on the North American PlayStation Store, with Red Faction: Guerrilla and UFC 2009 Undisputed giving PlayStation 3 fans a bite-sized taste of the games.
Watchmen's out this week. Not interested? You may instead want to spend those hard-earned Pounds/Euros/Dollars on Prince of Persia's "Epilogue" DLC, then, or the delayed "Femme Fatale" pack for Street Fighter IV.
This week's North American PlayStation Store cannot escape the watch of the Watchmen, as Watchmen: The End Is Nigh joins a handful of Watchmen promo videos, making you that much more Watchmen fatigued.
This week, Europe and Australia finally got Super Street Fighter II HD. Shame, really, since with Street Fighter IV also with us this week, it misses much of the point.
"Spring Fever" continues this week with two new downloadable titles for the PlayStation Network, Zuma and Noby Noby Boy, the latest from Katamari Damacy creator Keita Takahashi.
Yup, that's about all you need to know. Unlike the US store, the PAL PlayStation shopfront has a free demo (no preorder required) for Guerilla's Killzone 2. I'm enjoying it right now.
This week's North American PlayStation Store update is no slouch, bringing a little something for everyone. Downloadable games, demos, freely downloadable goodies and... a little bit of sadness, better known as "Evil Clown" premium themes.
Nintendo's strategy of re-releasing classic GameCube games that have been Wii waggle-readied looks to be working, as least in the case of Mario Power Tennis. The "Play on Wii" version is still Japan's favorite game.
Sorry, PAL land. Still no Street Fighter HD. But on the bright side, you do finally get the first episode of the Penny Arcade game, which surely counts for something!
