Gran Turismo 5 Prologue on PlayStation Network at 12AM EST
Yes folks, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue will be racing to the PlayStation Network tonight at 12:00 AM Eastern time. The game will cost the same $39.99 that it does in retail stores (so if you want the box, go to the store). The game comes with 70 cars, a drift mode, interior dash view, and online racing with up to 16 players. It may be a demo, but it is a damn good one.

Update 12:00 AM: It Should now be live.
PlayStation Network: Get With the Community
Okay, so we have a "super sexy super awesome super chocolaty fudge coated mega" PlayStation Store redesign now. Once those slow images are fixed, it will be almost perfect (besides the lack of a text scroll through functionality, or at least a way to see the titles without having to hover over the images, maybe it is just me).
Head over to Xbox Live for a second (yes, we are comparing), and you'll see plenty of community content from the likes of GameTrailers TV, Major League Gaming, and more. Every night, when an episode of GameTrailers TV airs, it will soon go live on Xbox Live and available for download. How great would that be for the PlayStation Network as well? Not just GameTrailers TV, but other things such as G4 Community Content, bring in fan site community content (maybe onAXIS will do) as well. As long as it is from the community, it will help create an even bigger one.
Feel free to share your comments.
Unreal Tournament III 2D Mod Is Mario With Guns
What 2D Game do we know and love that features an Italian plumber that involves finding the flag at the end? We all know what I'm talking about. A new modification for Unreal Tournament III makes the game just that, a 2D version of it. Take a look at the video above, and hit the link for the mod download.

Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Features First 135 Episode Story, God of War Bosses, DLC
A new preview from IGN at Namco Editors' Day 2008 revealed that Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm will feature a primary story mode loosely covering the events of the first 135 episodes of the anime. The story mode will feature bosses as well. The boss seen in the demo by IGN was Gaara, a huge sand beast. They describe the battle as a battle "similar to God of War". We may be looking at an epic game for the PlayStation 3.
Regarding online play, unfortunately it will not be incorporated. "Unfortunately, we don't have any individual online matchmaking modes for the game, but we will be planning downloadable content that will hopefully compensate for the lack of that feature. We'll make sure we have something interesting for the downloadable content, don't worry." We won't worry one bit.

Namco Editors' Day 08: Afro Samurai Gameplay Footage
Today must be the day of new gameplay footage and videos because thats all we seem to be getting.

New Monster Madness Trailer Looks Incredibly Fun
This new trailer SouthPeak has released for Monster Madness: Grave Danger makes the game look incredibly fun. I've never played the original on the Xbox 360, so I don't know how it was the first time around, but what I'm watching above looks like something I can play with a few people. Where is the phone? "Oh hey Danny, want to play Monster Madness?"
