This game has been on my “check-out” list for some time. It is scary to know that it is releasing Jan 19, 2010 as I feel that it would be accumulated in my backlog but looking at the trailer…I don’t think I will let that happen. So check out a quoted selection from the 1UP preview and watch the trailer below.

1UP – “As game premises go, strapping a jetpack on the back of a Han Solo/Indiana Jones sort of adventure hero sounds pretty strong. And as Dark Void developer Airtight Games has shown in previous press demonstrations, it allows a good variety of gameplay — from full-on free flight, to ground based firefights where the jetpack allows you to pop over and around cover, to the signature “vertical combat” which stands the world on end and has you fighting up and down surfaces using the jetpack for support.”

New this week are a few dynamic PS3 themes for $2.99. Of course, there is no sign of Trine but don’t let that stop you from hitting up the PlayStation Store. Capcom gives us digital bundles to enjoy as well as the PSP fighting title Fate Unlimited Codes.

Capcom is apparently getting ready to push several download-able titles to the PSN which makes me ask the question “Why isn’t Sony doing this?”.

Previously we have heard the excuse that it was too costly and not financially worth it to put old PS1 and PS2 classics up on the PSN store. Then we heard their excuse of licensing being hard to resolve and that they were looking at it. Does this show a lack of preparedness at Sony regarding the PSN? Is it really that difficult to get these older titles on the store?

We are going into the 3rd year of the PSN and we have very little playstation classics available to us. The store has certainly grown and changed for the better since it’s launch but classic playstation software/franchises have still failed to make an appearance. It is as if everyone in the boardroom forgot they produced content for the PS1 and PS2 when outlaying plans for the PS Store. Let’s just hope we hear more from Sony and maybe I will cross my fingers for an E3 mention.

So, after complaining about Street Fighter yesterday, I will now take my anger out against others!!!!!! I now posess SFIV but I am in a dilemma…I have taken precious time away to blog about my recent purchase, but I face the innevatable decision; SFIV or LOST.

Now, Lost is one of those shows that I MUST watch live. I have to know whats going on at that very minute as I lurk around Neogaf reading their responses…tough decision…

Edit- So I suck. I never said I was good. I am just going through arcade practicing. My choice of fighter, Chun-Li. I really like the game thus far but hate the title track!! For those interested, I picked up the PS3 version since the PS3 is my default system and I am curious about the Home integration. Also, regarding the PS3 version, the game does not require an install to the HDD but I fully recommend it! Just go to Options > Settings > Install. I do not know the size of the install but it is about a 5-10 run. The load times are vastly improved.  See you online:

Update: It would seem Europe got their answer today. Tomorrow the EU PSN store will make glorious download of SSF2THDR available to you, and then on the 20th you can go buy SFIV

Well, this week many many gamers will be playing Street Fighter IV including our overseas brothers, but that makes me ask, where is Turbo HD for the PS3 in Europe? To answer that myself I can just say that it is simply not there, as in, not in the EU PSN store.

So what exactly is going on Capcom UK, and SCEE? Will Turbo HD even matter now that IV will be released? And please don’t give me that “We don’t foresee these two competing in the same market. The PSN download is for those new to the franchise and allows them to experience it at a lower cost point”. I can say if I were in their shoes, I wouldn’t care. HD was supposed to get me hyped for the new release of IV…so why should I pick it up again?

Capcom announced that they have sold over 250k units of SSF2THDR.  This is simply amazing considering it is only a digital release available on XBLA and PSN.  Capcom suspects that this title will also break 30 day sales records as well. Although we don’t have break down data per platform we do know it was the Top Arcade Title for XBLA for week of 12.8.

It is great to hear information like this for digital releases and it would be great to hear more about other digitally released titles in the future.
