Per usual my intro consists of why I'm not going to be playing any of the demos and how you'll have to do it your self, and this week is no different. With my addiction to LittleBigPlanet grows, especially now that server related issues with levels seems to have been resolved, my playing of this master piece is now in full swing! That being said that does not however mean that I still don't download everything. Well here's what we have.

Add-ons
Months and months after the initial release of Civilization Revolution the DLC really starts pouring in. For the second week in a row now new content and fun is available for your pocket change.
- The Mythic @ $3.75
- The Iconic @ $3.75
- The Eternal @ $3.75
Each of the packs brings in new wonders and artifacts along the lines of pack's theme. The Mythic pack brings in wonders like Lighthouse of Alexandria, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa while Eternal brings Eiffel Tower and Tesla’s “Peace” Ray. All in all looks like a good addition of content.
Guitar Hero World Tour shows up with only one song this week, but I guess considering how new the game is, they figure you're playing the songs it comes with. Go pick up No Rain by Blind Melon for $1.99
Rock Band Thursdays as always comes along with 7 new songs and song pack. I should probably have done some research since now I'm wondering will all RB1 songs work in RB2 since it's now in full swing. Surprising enough I've never played a single game of Rock Band or Guitar Hero.
Demos
Mirror’s Edge Demo is now available and has many a gamer excited; including me. A new fresh take on a first person action adventure and from EA no doubt! I'd probably be playing it now but a few people are catching up to me in our combined Trophy addiction so I must continue to play LBP. I want more Trophies but I'm putting off finishing the game because the levels are so awesome! Go figure.
Tom Clancy’s EndWar isn't so much a "me game" but all the videos I've seen for it have my interests piqued. If they get this right games like this could take over the world. Global World War III happening in everybody's living rooms and favorite chairs with out anybody getting hurt.
I'm no fan of wrestling, and haven't been since the late 80s or the very early 90s, but I can't deny that wrestling games have often been a lot of fun. Tonight we get to find out what "new" can be brought to an on going franchise in a sport I think is slowly dieing out. WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 Demo brings tag team action that could actually be quite enjoyable for once. I'll check it out this weekend... I think.
Alone In The Dark: Inferno has a huge following and I think if not for those huge masses of fanboys, this game would have stayed an 360 exclusive. Now it's getting a "make over" and is it wrong that I couldn't care less. Year later releases of games that didn't do so hot on other platforms don't interesting, and hell even year old Game of the Year game don't always grab my attention. I'll try the demo, but every time I see news about Alone in the Dark it's just sounds like whining followed with delay. Eventually I'll find out if I've been harsh for no reason.

Themes
No themes or wallpapers today, but there's now an option to preview themes that wasn't there originally. You can actually make them widescreen to get an idea of what the them will actually look like on your display but keep in mind it is just a stretched image so the image quality will obviously look much better. I'm still wondering why they thought they should start charging for these themes, especially after looking the college themed ones. Wow.
There's supposed to be a PixelJunk Monsters update today (Tonight, eventually, here soon) that includes Trophies, XMB music support, YouTube Support and difficulty settings but it's not available yet. I was kind of excited to see how those play out. Would likely drive my sister cra
