If you’re anything like me, then you’ve been searching for the perfect messenger bag, sling bag, or backpack to carry all your gadgets for a long time.

Did you notice that the European PlayStation Store was missing the DLC table packs for The Pinball Arcade for PS3 and Vita? As it turns out, Farsight Studios made an announcement on Facebook informing fans of an unexpected, but welcomed delay. Since when are delays welcomed?

And two, you’re in luck because this week the store update brings a crop of Uncharted and Resident Evil games to the digital scene.

With two giant franchises providing content this week we jump to the early 90′s with Digital Underground’s ‘Freaks Of The Industry’. It’s time we dug up some of that old-school hip hop.

Tecmo Koei has revealed the Dead or Alive 5 pre-order incentives and Collector’s Edition, and in true DOA fashion, included are a set of premium swimsuits. Clearly Team Ninja missed the recent heated debate on sexism in games.

The pre-order bonuses offer a choice between two exclusive sets of costumes, which are the ‘DOA Angels’ (a set of white swimsuits for Kasumi, Hitomi and Leifang) and the ‘DOA Devils’ (a set of black swimsuits for Tina, Christie and Ayane). Each set is exclusive to select retailers.

Sony has announced the pre-order bonuses for LittleBigPlanet Vita over on the PlayStation Blog. Depending on where you pre-order from, you’ll be treated to either a BioShock and Knights of Old costume pack.

Namco Bandai says it’s asking its fans “one simple questions”, which is: “if I were in charge of Tekken Tag Tournament 2, what would it look and sound like?”

When deciding which adventure platformer starring a pink-haired caveman to play, only one series comes to mind: Tomba. And while PSone Classics can rarely hold a candle to games released this generation, there aren’t many that are cut from the same cloth.
