			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The calendar may still read &#8220;August,&#8221; but I think this is the week that the summertime gaming lull is officially dead and buried. And it&#8217;s pretty clear what the biggest game is this week: <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/batman-arkham-asylum/">Batman: Arkham Asylum</a>. The game isn&#8217;t just racking up some really <a href="http://www.1up.com/do/reviewPage?cId=3175696&#038;p=37">rave</a> <a href="http://ps3.ign.com/articles/101/1016585p1.html">reviews</a>, it also comes packing some compelling exclusives for PlayStation 3 owners, like the downloadable Joker Challenge Levels (available &#8211; for free, no less &#8211; on the <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/playstation-network/playstation-store-playstation-network/">PlayStation Store</a> right NOW), and a special <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2009/08/12/batcave-outpost-apartment-motorstorm-event-space-and-tons-more-coming-to-playstation-home/">Batcave Outpost Personal Space for PlayStation Home</a> which unlocks with the game disc.</p>
<p>For those who can&#8217;t wait until tomorrow, you can learn more about these exclusives tonight on Gametrailers TV, as well as more on the combat system, musical score, and Invisible Predator mode. Also, they interview <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000434/">the man who played Cocknocker</a> in <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0261392/">Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back</a>. Apparently he has something to do with the game :-)</p>
<p class="center"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" id="gtembed" width="480" height="392"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="movie" value="http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?mid=54303"/><param name="quality" value="high" />/><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><embed src="http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?mid=54303" swLiveConnect="true" name="gtembed" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="true" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="392"></embed></object></p>
<p>You can catch this special on <a href="http://www.spike.com/">Spike TV</a> tonight at midnight (Eastern and Pacific), because host <a href="http://twitter.com/Geoffkeighley">Geoff Keighley</a> &#8211; like Batman &#8211; is a night owl. (Not <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characters_of_Watchmen#The_Nite_Owl_II_.28Daniel_Dreiberg.29">Nite Owl</a>, that&#8217;s something entirely different. Mostly.)</p>
<p>In the meantime, try out the demo on the PlayStation Store &#8211; it definitely got my attention!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Calling all citizens of PlayStation Home!
It’s that time again – and by “that time” I mean “the time where I put the proverbial pen to paper and let you all know what’s coming up next in the rapidly-growing world of PlayStation Home.” I think you’ll be glad to see that &#8211; whether you come into [...]]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Calling all citizens of <a href="http://www.us.playstation.com/PSN/Home">PlayStation Home</a>!</p>
<p>It’s that time again – and by “that time” I mean “the time where I put the proverbial pen to paper and let you all know what’s coming up next in the rapidly-growing world of <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/playstation-network/playstation-home/">PlayStation Home</a>.” I think you’ll be glad to see that &#8211; whether you come into Home to game launch with your friends, unlock rewards from your favorite games, or check out free music and video content and socialize &#8211; there’s a lil somethin’ somethin’ going on in-world  this week that you can get down with.</p>
<p>We know that you Home-dwellers just love your rewards, so we’ve worked with the fine folk over at Eidos to ensure that their next release integrates tightly with our platform. Those of you who scoop up the highly-anticipated <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/batman-arkham-asylum/">Batman: Arkham Asylum</a> for your PLAYSTATION 3s next week will be pleased to see that the game unlocks a special Batcave Outpost personal space. It’s safe to say that hardcore Batman fans are going to seriously spazz out when they unlock Bruce Wayne’s secondary lair under Arkham, so if you count yourself a disciple of the Dark Knight, you’d better rush to get your hands on this title when it is released on August 25th.</p>
<p class="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblog/3815463310/" title="Batcave SCREENSHOT 1 by PlayStation.Blog, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3499/3815463310_44bacf2147.jpg" width="500" height="281" alt="Batcave SCREENSHOT 1" /></a></p>
<p>Hardcore gamers have yet another reason to enter into the PlayStation Home fold as we will be launching a new game-themed event space specifically to host our <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/motorstorm-pacific-rift/">MotorStorm: Pacific Rift</a> game launching parties, set to occur every Monday night between 6pm and 10pm PT. This space, which marks the first ever “Globe of Death” to publish in Home, will showcase some rad MotorStorm footage and will serve as a hub for all of you racing fanatics in the Home community to meet and launch into games of <a href="http://www.us.playstation.com/PS3/Games/MotorStorm_Pacific_Rift">MotorStorm: Pacific Rift</a>. This event space will only be up for a limited time (though we do have some more surprises for fans of the franchise scheduled to release in the not-so-distant future, including a bunch of awesome MotorStorm clothes, so stay tuned to this here blog thingy for more news).</p>
<p class="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblog/3815379430/" title="PlayStation Home MotorStorm Sphere by PlayStation.Blog, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2645/3815379430_11985fbaaf.jpg" width="500" height="281" alt="PlayStation Home MotorStorm Sphere" /></a></p>
<p>Many core areas of Home will see content updates this week, with new tunes being loaded into the Listen@Home kiosk, new clothes and furniture appearing in the <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2009/07/16/playstation-home-updates-mall-with-new-stores-and-items/comment-page-2/">Mall</a> (including animated furniture – this stuff has to be seen to be believed!), and some new videos screening in the <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2009/07/30/the-curtain-rises-on-the-10-screen-movie-theater-in-playstation-home-motorstorm-game-launching-crashes-in-and-fat-princess-needs-cake/">Theater</a>. One of these videos, scheduled to go live on Sunday the 16th, is part of the ongoing <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2009/08/06/criss-angel-mindfreak-hits-playstation-home/">Criss Angel: Mindfreak</a> event. Much like the Criss Angel: Mindfreak video currently screening in our new 10-Screen Theater, this clip will reward those that dare enter with another exclusive virtual item – this time, a Criss Angel custom coffin table. But you’ll have to come in between the 16th and the 19th if you want this limited item. Those of you who check out this clip will also entered into a giveaway for 1 of 2 Criss Angel: Mindfreak Coffins and 1 of 3 Criss Angel: Burn DVD’s and Book sets (5 winners total).</p>
<p class="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblog/3814568809/" title="Home Criss Angel by PlayStation.Blog, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2490/3814568809_779664c41c.jpg" width="500" height="281" alt="Home Criss Angel" /></a></p>
<p>As a demonstration of the ever-evolving nature of PlayStation Home, there are a few updates scheduled for the <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2009/01/08/ea-announces-ea-sports-complex-for-playstation-home/">EA SPORTS Complex</a> and the <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2009/07/31/burn-zombie-burn-patch-and-home-space/">Burn Zombie Burn game space</a>. You’ll also see some significant additions to Central Plaza in coming weeks, but you’ll have to keep your eyes on this blog for all the details as they are released. In the meantime, head over to the Listen@Home kiosk and check out our updated events calendar. You’ll see that there is a regularly-occurring event scheduled for every night of every week. Whether it’s a game launching event for Street Fighter IV &#8211; or any of the other titles that launch in Home &#8211; or an official PlayStation Home forums party (like the one set to go down on Thursday night), there’s truly something for every gamer in-world. And if you want to throw your own event or attend one of the many awesome gatherings our die-hard community members regularly throw, just check out the Clubs and Events sub-forum on www.us.playstation.com.</p>

<p>If you’re interested in busting the Joker, busting a tire, busting ghosts or busting a tackle, we&#8217;ve got you covered this month! We’re also excited to announce that <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/qore-playstation-network/">Qore</a> annual subscribers are invited to the upcoming <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2009/04/27/uncharted-2-to-include-multiplayer-beta-starts-june-3rd/">UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves</a> multiplayer Beta (see details below).</p>
<p><strong>Enter the Asylum</strong><br />
<a href="http://www.batmanarkhamasylum.com/">Arkham Asylum</a>. It’s the place where Batman’s most psychotic foes are kept under lock and key…at least, until the Joker takes control. Developer Rocksteady Games brings us inside the Gotham City landmark—the location of their upcoming game.</p>
<p><strong>Who You Gonna Call?</strong><br />
It may have been twenty years since the <a href="http://www.ghostbustersgame.com/">Ghostbusters</a> last strapped on their proton packs, but the films have not been forgotten. Audrey Cleo catches up with Dan Aykroyd about his contributions as writer and voice actor in the new game that’s revitalized the beloved franchise.</p>
<p><strong>Take a Spin</strong><br />
Veronica Belmont also visits <a href="http://www.codemasters.com/">Codemasters</a> in the UK for an early look at the next iteration in its <a href="http://www.codemasters.com/games/?gameid=2998">DiRT</a> rally racing series evolving the gameplay with improved handling and new stadium events.</p>
<p><strong>Natural Co-Motion</strong><br />
<a href="http://www.naturalmotion.com/euphoria.htm">Euphoria</a>, developed to create extremely realistic character AI and animation in upcoming games such as Backbreaker, will change the way you play&#8211; foregoing canned animation for real-time interaction. We take a close look at this new technology.</p>
<p>Everyone who downloads Qore this month will receive an exclusive <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/infamous/">inFAMOUS</a> PS3 “Good Karma” theme that, like the game’s main character, evolves over time. New Qore subscribers will also receive <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/high-velocity-bowling/">High Velocity Bowling </a>as our way of saying thanks.</p>
<p><strong>Great News for Subscribers!</strong><br />
All existing Qore subscribers will also receive a special voucher via e-mail allowing them to join the <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2009/04/27/uncharted-2-to-include-multiplayer-beta-starts-june-3rd/">UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves</a> multiplayer Beta on June 3. Everyone who becomes a new Qore subscriber on or before May 15 will also receive the Beta invitation.</p>
<p>This Beta is just one of the many benefits offered to Qore subscribers during this inaugural year. And, as a reminder for our June 2008 subscribers, you still have one more episode coming your way after May’s Episode 12 to complete your 13-episode subscription.</p>
<p>Look for Qore Episode 12 available tomorrow, Thursday May 7.</p>
