- Shots of the alternate outfits for Resident Evil: Mercenaries have been posted.
- EA has announced The Sims 3: Pets.

- XSEED’s Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls is now live on PSN in case you missed it in the massive update list.
- That odd-sounding poison frog game for PSN, Papo & Yo, has a trailer.

Man, looking at that casting call, it’s no wonder videogame stories suck so bad.
“Let’s make a gallery of one-dimensional archetypes snatched from movies”.
Way to take it seriously. It sounds a bit like the tank guy is snatched out of Kelly’s Heroes, which is totally justifiable. WHOOF!

Papo & Yo sounds really good!
The blog post itself is really affecting; seeing a dev poor his tormented upbringing into a quirky fantasy game is amazing.
I hope the gameplay matches the heart.
