PlayStation Home is open for business on December 11, tomorrow, worldwide. At last PS3 owners will be able to create a house, play Namco arcade games, and bask in corporate sponsored spaces. Any PlayStation Home user can get their own space too by purchasing Clubhouse space.
Clubhouses are private places for club members to gather. Up to 32 people can be in a clubhouse at one time and that includes the creator. Inside each clubhouse there is a bulletin board the leader and sub-leaders can use to post messages. Clubs and clubhouses are designed for users with like minds to meet up providing one of them has money. Sony explains clubhouse owners will need to “buy the entitlement to run the club.”
Since Sony didn’t mention a cash transaction clubhouse space could be sold for virtual money, but looking at the PlayStation home model don’t be surprised if it costs bucks, not necessarily big bucks, to build a clubhouse.
Spammers get your wallets ready?

Avalon Code is possibly joining the already long list of Nintendo DS RPGs slated for February 2009. This isn’t definite, but two retailers plan to ship Avalon Code in North America then. When XSEED announced Avalon Code for North America it was scheduled to arrive in “Q1 2009″ so these listings correlate with XSEED’s original plan.
Matrix Software developed Avalon Code and it looks great for a DS game. The book system sounds pretty neat since you can scan and reconfigure monster attributes after whacking them with a magic book. However, if Avalon Code comes out then it’s going to face fierce competition from established franchises like Dragon Quest and Fire Emblem. XSEED might be better off releasing Avalon Code two or three weeks later to push it into March the February DS RPG wave is a memory.

The last time we heard about Muramasa: The Demon Blade was around Tokyo Game Show where XSEED confirmed they were co-publishing it in North America and Rising Star Games mentioned Europe was getting it in November. Fortunately, our wait for Muramasa: The Demon Blade might not be as long Europe’s. Two separate retailers claim the game is coming out in July. XSEED must have sent out marketing materials today because this isn’t the only XSEED retail rumor we discovered. While retailers aren’t always accurate it seems like we’re going to get Muramasa: The Demon Blade sometime in the summer.
Random fact: Did you know Vanillaware gave a nod to Super Mario Brothers in Muramasa: The Demon Blade? The kunoichi in the pink kimono is called Momohime and if you translate this from Japanese to English you get Princess Peach.

World Destruction… ahem… I mean Sands of Destruction is scheduled to come out in North America this fall care of Sega USA. The news of that Sega is localizing the game shouldn’t be much a surprise now since English screenshots leaked out last week. We know a talented team is working on Sands of Destruction, but what is the story about?
In Sands of Destruction, a race of powerful beastmen known as the Ferals rule over the human population with tyranny and prejudice. A group of warriors, the World Annihilation Front, believe their only option for ending the corruption of the Ferals is to end the world as they know it.
This intense game puts gamers in control of an intriguing cast of characters including the crusading Morte Ashera as well as Kyrie Illunis, who unknowingly holds the key to global destruction. Gamers will explore a fantastic world, traveling across oceans of sand, battling colossal enemy monsters and unraveling the mystery of the creation of the world.
Sands of Destruction sounds dark, but intriguing. We’ll hear what Imageepoch’s President Ryoei Mikage thinks of the story tomorrow. Speaking of Imageepoch fall 2009 is a long way away for Sands of Destruction. There are plenty of Nintendo DS RPGs to keep us busy until it comes out so the wait won’t feel long. However, the Japanese version is done and Imageepoch told us back in October they were already working on a US version. Perhaps, Imageepoch is using this extra time to rebalance the game.

Resetti may be just about the best thing about Animal Crossing. His furious tirades are, after all, both entertaining and informative.
Entertaining for the fact he doesn't just break through the fourth wall, he lives amongst its rubble. And informative because, well, after 2-3 visits from him, you know that every time you turn off Animal Crossing, you save your damn game.
Pity, then, that parents are being warned about his antics, as though he's a bad thing.
Tucked away in the Animal Crossing: City Folk instruction book is the following passage:
Information for parents - Mr Resetti
It is important that players save before switching off the Wii console in order to retain data after each play session (see Saving Data, above). If players switch off without saving, the character Mr. Resetti may appear upon restarting.
Mr. Resetti's purpose is to teach players the importance of saving. However, parents should be aware that his personality and tone of voice, while intentionally humorous, are authoritative and may be disturbing to young children.
May be? They will be. But parents, your kids need to run into him. The toughest lessons life teaches you are rarely the most pleasant ones.

Atlus' latest foray into the land of ultra-freaky Japanese Rps is on its way across the sea, as Square Enix announces a Spring 2009 release for Persona 4 in Europe and PAL territories.
Released on July 10th in Japan and yesterday in North America, the PlayStation 2 RPG has been given a release window of spring 2009, as localization teams scurry to make the game playable for the folks that can't understand anything I've written in this article.
John Yamamoto, president and chief executive officer of Square Enix Ltd. comments, "Persona 4 epitomises Square Enix's commitment to bringing the best gaming experiences to the European market. This new installment in the highly anticipated Persona series is the perfect example of an exciting new experience and how the PlayStation 2 still has a lot to offer."

On December 10th 1993, id Software introduced a title that would change the face of gaming as we knew it. Today marks the fifteenth anniversary of the revolutionary FPS, Doom.
Crafted lovingly by gaming legends John Carmack, John Romero, and a host of other people, some of who weren't named John, Doom is credited with pioneering networked multiplayer PC gaming, immersive 3D graphics, and the ability for players to create and share their own custom-built expansions. The game is estimated to have been downloaded by over 10 million players over the first two years of release, with ports spanning 16 PC platforms and 11 different console gaming systems, not including source ports.
It's been a rocky road, what with the controversy over the title's satanic imagery and violence and one of the most horribly movie adaptations this side of Uwe Boll, but fifteen years and multiple sequels later, Doom still remains one of the most important franchises in the history of gaming. Here's to another 15 years of hell on Mars!
