Sony and GameStop have joined (unholy) forces to bring an exclusive early glimpse of Killzone 2′s demo for all pre-orderers from the popular retail chain. It’s not all bad news though. This demo will also be released on the PSN but only after the final game has been released in February. So, expect it in March or April then.

Are you 18 or older? Will you be in Las Vegas this Saturday January 10th? Are you any good at Street Fighter? Are you related to Daigo?

If you answered ‘yes’ to the first three questions then you should write your name, PSN ID and why you think you should have a chance to compete for Team PlayStation at iwannaplaystreetfighteriv@gmail.com.

If it weren’t for the inclusion (and Rock Band debut) of Snow Patrol, this would have been an all 70′s classic rock track pack. James Gang, Jethro Tull and Deep Purple come back from the past with tracks dating from 1970, 1971 and 1972 respectively. Neat huh?

So after rolling out of the unmade bed that is Christmas and landing with a thud on the thin end of 2009, we have to do two things. Firstly, we have to take stock. Looking back at 2008, it is clear that us PS3 Attitudees had a great year. With the likes of LBP and MGS4, we can’t surely expect 2009 to be as good.

Can we?

Which brings me nicely onto the second thing we have to do at this time of year; look forward to what the next 12 months will bring us. Brodiesan has already started outlining many of the components making up the raft of games careening toward us with careless abandon in the coming months, but I thought I would take advantage of my shiny new crystal ball.

PS3 Attitude takes a look into 2009 and documents all 123 known games scheduled to be released during the year. Though 2008 was a stellar year it is definitely safe to say that 2009 is looking even brighter for Sony’s console.

This time of year is universally synonymous with “Gaming News Death”.

I am not a fan of baseball and my last baseball gaming experience is easily described with a three-lettered console and a two-worded game: NES and Bases Loaded. So why am I actually (kind of) looking forward to MLB 09: The Show’s recently announced Spring 2009 release?

Merry Christmas! If you don’t celebrate Christmas then you are missing out on tons of free gifts and should reconsider. Thanks to us gift recipients we PS3 fans have this early PlayStation Store update, so it can’t be all that bad.

So: Was I the only one who waited with bated breath for the MGS pack to go live on the EU store? Apparently not. A post has appeared over on the PlayStation Forums announcing that we here in Europe will not see the MGS pack for LittleBigPlanet today.

Just a few days before the end of 2008, the X-mas spirit seems to be affecting gamers. Love is in the air and that shows from LittleBIGPlanet’s sales. For second consecutive week, Media Molecule’s masterpiece remains at the top. But, did we have any realignments in the rest of the top 10?

Let’s find out in Chart Track’s UK charts for week ending 20 December 2008…

The final box art for Street fighter IV has been unveiled and guess what, Chun-Li’s 15 minutes are officially up in North America until the Chun-Li-centric Street Fighter movie opens (why?). Capcom has done their homework in the form of listening to fans through their Unity boards, other interweb outlets and oddly enough, laser cats.
