Newly released today:



Get ready for a story so epic it could only unfold in the corridors of the world's largest museum - the Smithsonian Institution.

Museum guard-turned entrepreneur Larry Daley discovers that his favorite exhibits, and some of his best friends, from New York's Natural History Museum are being shipped off to the archives at the Smithsonian.

Larry gets a distress call from the miniature cowboy, Jedediah, reporting that Egyptian ruler Kahmunrah and a trio of heinous henchmen - namely Ivan the Terrible, Napoleon and Al Capone - are plotting to take over the museum, then the world.

Speeding to the nation's capitol, Larry is clearly in over his head. But with some impressive new pals, including the irrepressible Amelia Earhart, along with familiar friends Teddy Roosevelt and Octavius, Larry will stop at nothing to restore the Smithsonian before dawn.

The Atari Jaguar was a flop. Though, despite being discontinued in 1996, the console continues to get lovely made games from indie devs. Never say die!

The latest game is Mad Bodies, a Breakout-style shooter. The game's developer Force Design worked on this title for six years — something even more remarkable when you consider that the Jaguar had already been discontinued for eight years.

The humorous title boasts 10 stages, digital speech samples and multiple power-ups and weapons. Priced at US$80, the game features "oversized plastic clamshell case with full color cover and cartridge label, and a semi-gloss, black and white instruction manual."

Pricey, sure, but we're assuming that this is the best new Jaguar game that will be released this year — next year, too. We don't know about the year after that, though. That year is wide open.

The PLAYSTATION 3 has outsold the Wii for the past two-and-a-half months. That we know. What percentage the Japanese PS3 sales have spiked since the same month last year, that we didn't — until now.

According to April data released by Famitsu publisher Enterbrain, PLAYSTATION 3 sales are up 288 percent from the same period last year. The reason for the dramatic increase was the Blu-ray release of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete. The flick was bundled with the eagerly anticipated Final Fantasy XIII demo.

A sign of things to come when the game is released only on the PS3 in Japan?

PlayStation Home is in the middle of one of their biggest content updates ever, and the North American release of the Japanese Siren: Blood Curse space plays a major part.

It's a big week for PlayStation Home. They're giving away Patapon 2 t-shirts on Thursday; they're adding a living room stage set perfect for machinima; and now they've brought the chilling Siren 2: Blood Curse home space over from Japan. The Siren space consists of three areas. A run-down circus serves as your entry point into the space, from which you can move to the Ward of Despair mini-game lobby, with the third section being the game itself.

The Ward of Despair is a mini-game for up to five players, set in the Saiga Hospital stage from the downloadable PlayStation Network game. each given a task to complete within five minutes. If all players manage to complete their tasks without being taken out by zombies they receive creepy costumes as a reward.

You'll want to score these rewards before May 12th, which is when the Siren: Horror Bowl Tournament takes place. Players who show up to the event in their Siren costumes will qualify for a chance to win the first four episodes of the PSN game.

Note that the Siren: Blood Curse space is only coming to North America at the moment, with a European release planned somewhere down the line.

The PlayStation Blog post announcing all of this new content also hints at upcoming Tekken 6 costumes and Killzone 2 t-shirts to stand around in.

I'm really glad to see so much happening in Home these days. I don't think they've come close to tapping its full potential yet, but Sony is definitely making headway.
