Lot of gaming I want to do tonight so this is going to be kind of quick. Sorry for the lack of attention but I have a box full of SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation goodness sitting on the next next to me, and then Resistance 2 public beta begins tonight as well. So I have new toys and for good or bad new toys win out. Let's do it!

Add-Ons
Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 09 drops with anouther golf course to try your clubs at this week. So far this game's been doing quite well with new DLC, but I'm not sure I'd personally pay $7.49 for each course. As I recall they're much cheaper for Hot Shots Golf. Hot Shots Golf is more the game for me, but for those die hard Tiger Woods fans out there, go snatch up Spyglass Hill Golf Course for the aforementioned $7.49.
I went to pick up my PlayStation Eye this past weekend and basically lucked out. Instead of paying $69.99 for the THE EYE OF JUDGEMENT/PlayStation Eye bundle, or $39.99 for the PlayStation Eye by itself, I paid $17.48 for the THE EYE OF JUDGEMENT bundle at Target. I had a triple take, asked my sister to verify the price (Which I got wrong as I originally thought it said $17.99!), and then asked a sale attendant was the price legit. Turns out they're "trying to get rid of the game." So if you were interested in this game, or want a PlayStation Eye for when LittleBigPlanet releases next week check out your local Target.
Now for those that already have and play THE EYE OF JUDGEMENT then we have a new expansion as well as a bundle to allow others to catch up cheaply. THE EYE OF JUDGEMENT: Biolith Rebellion 3, which as the name implies is the third expansion set, and will run you $14.99. Now if you haven't picked up the 2nd expansion set it is now available in a bundle lumped in with the 3rd set for only $19.99. I haven't opened my game, but I think I will try it out just for the heck of it. Not really something I'm interested in, but I'll give it a try.
Demos
Thanks to the newly released PSP PlayStation Store I was able to download LEGO BATMAN: THE VIDEOGAME DEMO direction to my PSP nice and easily via my crappy wireless router. Router aside the new PSP Store is quite clean and crisp and even on my crappy wireless set up it runs very fast. I haven't touched it so I can wrap this up quick, and go get started on SOCOM & R2, but I'm going to charge my PSP tonight and take it in to work to play on lunch tomorrow.
As a Qore member I've already played the MotorStorm Pacific Rift Demo, and it's a huge step up from the original game. For those of you with out the Qore goodies go check out how the new game is shaping up.
Games
As I mentioned I have my SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation box sitting next to me with the game and the new *OFFICIAL* PlayStation Bluetooth headset, but for those of you who already have a Bluetooth headset they use and like, you can now download the entire game directly from the PlayStation Store. Game with headset is $59.99, Blu-Ray disc with out headset is $39.99, and if you download it from store it's also $39.99. For me it was a no brainer to get a game worth $40, and a headset that's worth $50 for a combined $60. I'm going to love that mute button especially in Burnout since it runs with the mic on.
Dead Head Fred, which is a game I've never heard of, tells me it's a M rated game that "puts the gamers into a classic tale of murder, corruption, revenge and... interchangeable heads." I dunno about you, but that sounds awesome. I'm not sure if this was a UMD game that's now getting digital love, or an all new game. Either $14.99 for a title with an interesting concept isn't half bad. I've spent $15 in worse places.
PQ2: Practical Intelligence Quotient 2 I know was a UMD game release back in 2007, and it's all kinds of puzzle goodness just like the first one was. As I mentioned previously the demo I played for PQ1 was entirely in Japanese and I still have it on my PSP today and play at random. Having said that, perhaps I should actually buy the game and enjoy the full goodness. Perhaps in another 2 years once game stop rolling in all at once and eating up my expendable income.
Videos
Another week with out any movie trailers, which I find odd as there are tons of new Blu-Ray movies coming out this month. Latest Indy movie dropped this week, Incredible Hulk drops next week, I believe American Gangster released last week, and of course Iron Man released not too long ago. Either plenty of things to download and not watch yet like I've done with the past two weeks worth of videos.

Two free themes this week and one Premium Theme. I'm not a horror movie fan, but I did enjoy the first two Saw movies. Either way I'm not going spend $1.99 on a SAW them.

6 basic Eternal Sonata Wallpapers that are really simple, but may be nice to mix in with your favorite theme, or the newly released Eternal Sonata theme.
4 creppy Silent Hill Homecoming Wallpapers that I have already deleted. Did I mention I don't really do horror?
As I mentioned tonight was going to be short and sweet, and then I'm off to melt into my couch as I basically give up sleeping. I wonder how much trouble I'd run into if I just slept through work tomorrow? Off to shoot something, whether it's a Chimera in R2 or somebody in SOCOM.
