These days, cross-promotions are all the rage in Japan. Monster Hunter in your Metal Gear Solid. Ace Attorney in your Professor Layton. This Tales of Graces collaboration might be overdoing it, though. More »

Heeeeey, it's Toro, Sony Computer Entertainment's kooky mascot cat. And his friends! And their new official line of action figures/desk paperweights. You may be ordering yours (as we speak!) as a devoted fan of all things PlayStation, but since the figures come with interchangeable faces, I'm ordering mine as a handy mood indicator. If Toro's happy, I'm happy. If he's sad, I'm sad. If he's that face on the far right, I'm...having toilet issues? More »

Bored and want to do something with scissors besides just running around your cubicle with them? Then some Toro papercraft just might be up your alley, especially if you have been admiring the figurines from earlier today.

After last week's update for the PSP (which really only allows you to access the content downloaded on or streamed through your PS3), it's a hopeful sign that Playstation is starting to use the technology to, oh I don't know, actually play a game with.

For the ladies. Or the children. Starting late June, PlayStation.com will begin selling these Toro (AKA the Sony Cat) shirts to Japanese women and children. Sizes run M and L in kid's and lady's, and the shirts cost ¥3,150 (US $26). Not too expensive, not too memorable either. Brian Ashcraft More »

Toro (AKA the Sony Cat) celebrated his birthday over the rainy weekend. Star of Doko Demo Issho, the character was given flowers and posed for photo ops with fans. There was even a birthday cake! But, is this really a birthday cake or actually a game cake? Puzzled. Brian Ashcraft More »

Sony cat Toro (not Kotaku commenter, Toro-kun) has a download on the PlayStation Network. It's not really a game per se, but more of a talk show in the form of two cats in a tiny apartment. More »

Late last week, old man Crecente had his birthday (he turned 58). If he had given me, Mike, Eliza or Florian a heads up, we could've pooled our moolah together and bought him something. Instead, we just made fun of him. Mercilessly. More »
