It’s Part III of our four part (comprehensive) Games of 2009 series. This edition covers 45 titles starting at ‘L’ and all the way through to ‘S’. What titles are you looking forward to this year that sit within this alphabetical selection? What games in the list have you never even heard of (Rainy Woods anyone?). Check the list and find out.

So here we are again, after having celebrated and eaten until our bellies started to crack. Last week we had no UK charts post due to the fact we were too busy eating turkey and opening presents.

But let’s see if the new year has affected the sales, in Chart Track’s UK charts for week ending 3 January 2009…

Here’s a few shiny new shots of Cammy – both arty-farty action drawings and spiffingly exciting in-game shots.

Who are you looking forward to getting to grips with most? (Ahem)

New images of A2M’s violent femme fatale inspired Wet game due out this year have surfaced over at Illuminate Labs. We’re going to go out on a limb here and predict you’re going to like what you see.

Hollands’ Official PlayStation Magazine reveal that they’re off to Hollywood to get a look at a new PS3 exclusive not yet officially announced to the media. What could it be? Is it the fabled BBC Reporter game? L.A. Noire stays PS3 exclusive? Is it the other Rockstar game? We’ll have to wait and see.

Once again online and brick and mortar retailers are luring some more pre-order bait to get those dollars flowing out of your wallets and into theirs. Call it one of the few positive by-products of this current credit crunch.

There are currently three retailers enticing you with free bonuses for buying possible game of the year contender and all around Sony AAA blockbuster Killzone 2. Read on to see all the North American pre-order bonuses available so far.

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.

What’s set to burn our corneas with awesomeness and what is set to underwhelm us to tears? In part one, we take a look at the ‘Good’.

Edge Magazine get a look at the early build of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. Want to know what Drake is after this time? Read on.

Pixel Junk Eden to get easier with new patch and even more PJ goodness for 2009 according to Executive Producer Dylan Cuthbert.

Part II of our look at the games of 2009. Over 50 new ones here for you to enjoy.

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”.
All the great games of the year are out, the press people are spending some well deserved time with their families (we miss you guys, …

Tis’ the season to…game.  Europe’s store update finally brings some much needed (and asked for) demos in the form of Wipeout HD, Metal Gear Online and Sonic Unleashed.  Put down your pitchforks, LittleBigPlanet’s Metal Gear …

We’ll be back later with the full EU PSN update for December 24th but, just to quell those burning fires across Europe as soon as possible, yes we can confirm that the LBP MGS …

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?
