I know this game isn’t popular on this blog, but I still love it. Anyway it will be a automatic update on Tuesday, January 27th. It’s called Bomb Mission and it’s free!

The mechanics in Bomb Mission are pretty simple. If you’re on the offense party, you got to find the bomb that’s randomly placed in the map and detonate it within the time limit. Once the bomb is activated for detonation, you have to protect it and wait for it to explode (heh, suicide bombing, what next?).

As for the defensive team, the goal is to defuse the bomb with some coolant and fend off the opposing party from the base.

That actually sounds very fun, can’t wait to try it out

Bombs away: free Bomb Mission DLC for Metal Gear Online next week

It’s been a long wait but it’s almost over, it will be released April 16th. But the date is just for Japan .. so I hope other regions come very soon after that. But if you want to import, it will have English subtitles.

There is a special edition 160GB PS3 bundle as well pictured here, again this is Japan only at the moment. But it does include a Final Fantasy XIII demo too.

Prices are as follows:

* ¥49,980 [$550] - 160GB PS3 with Cloud wolf logo and copy of ACC
* ¥5,900 [$65] - Advent Children Complete with demo
* ¥4,900 [$54] - Advent Children Complete without demo

Special edition FFVII PS3 revealed, FFXIII demo dated

Being able to hold your own tournaments sounds great. All the things I’ve heard about the multiplayer have been positive too. I wish the Killzone 2 demo had mulitplayer

Now you can watch YouTube on your PS3 in full screen Still in the Beta stage, but check it out and let us know how it is. Seems pretty cool to me.

YouTube on your PS3…in Full-screen!

Will Sony do some massive advertising with Killzone 2? A superbowl ad would be perfect, but I doubt they would do that. But they need to heavily market this game! I was talking to a couple PS3 friends at work and they have never heard of Killzone 2. Not everyone stays up to date with the latest PS3 news like we do.

The hype for the game is not enough to sell tons of copies, it needs advertising! I’m hoping the Killzone 2 ads will start in early February at least.

They aren’t even doing a special edition of Killzone 2, which is a shame. This was a official comment on the PlayStation Blog. Doesn’t Sony handle the collector’s or limited edition stuff?

There is no collector’s edition slated for Killzone 2. Guerrilla Games has put all of their effort into creating this masterpiece of a game, so we didn’t actively pursue a CE.
