The Gorillaz will be headlining next week's Rock Band update with three songs being made available as DLC for the game's PS3 and Xbox 360 versions. The Wii version is also getting its own update in the form of eleven tracks taken from the Rock Band back catalog, while Rock Band Unplugged will play host to a pair of new Iron Maiden songs.

This week's European Playstation Store update is now available. Leading the pack is the World War 2 first-person shooting game Battlefield 1943. Not to be left behind, the much awaited Ghostbusters demo will also be available this week along with the demo of Fuel. Also included in the update is the second expansion pack for MotorStorm: Pacific Rift, extra contents for Skate 2, High Velocity Bowling, Dynasty Warriors 6 Empires and some new games for the PSP.

The 80s and the 90s can be considered as the golden era of cartoons. It's the time when the concept of mutant turtles were born, robots as tall as buildings were created, and talking bears with cute drawings on their chest was considered cool.

Entertainment media has spawned new avenues in modern Earth, but we're sure these old-school cartoons can still kick ass. So in this article, we look at old-school cartoons and wonder how great it would be to have them as a video game.

Calling all cowboys: Saddle your horses and get ready to ride as Activision games has announced that the PSPs very own cowboy 'simulator' has shipped to game stores across North America today. If free roaming in the nomadic lawless west back in the good old days with drunkenness, prostitutes, and gun slinging is your thing, then you should definitely give Gun Showdown a try. This game gives much more than the title would like to suggest though, with the action-adventure hybrid having much more proportion than your average first person shooter as the 'bullets fly, people die' trailer shows.

Gun Showdown expands on what previous games have left behind, allowing you to take control of the untamed West on both sides of the law. Firstly as a gunslinger, you must shoot, knife and dynamite your way through an epic story. Good cop or bad cop, it's your choice. You'll be overjoyed that you bought your PSP when you get to see the game's list of features, taking full advantage of the PSPs technical abilities with a brand new wireless multiplayer and Quickplay modes, exclusive missions, and gameplay features that you won't find on any other console.

In Gun Showdown, players have a licence to dish out vigilante vengeance as you face-off against corrupt lawmen, a murderous preacher, a renegade army psychopath, and merciless outlaws that won't listen any other way. In a world where greed, lust and murder reign, the only way to survive is to wage war on horseback, hold up banks, collect bounties on prisoners dead or alive, and commandeer trains as the lines between good and evil are drawn in blood.

If you fancy a break from all the killing and bloodshed then you can settle down with multiplayer modes which allow you to team up or go head-to-head in Showdown mode; includes Deathmatch, Golden Cross and Texas Hold 'Em poker gameplay modes via the PSPs wireless network capabilities.

Now doesn't that sound fun? What are you waiting for, it's out today!

Monkeyboy1916's mod for DeNitro and Devin923's PSP Revolution, Anime Style, is saying sayonara for now. Maybe, you're thinking that he has already announced that in version three, but because of some bugs that were found in that game's release, he continued to refine his work. This time though, it's the real deal.

"Unfortunatly this is my last version this time, only because there aren't many more songs worth adding, but when a new version of PSP Revolution comes out I will be here to update Anime Style, and maybe throw in a couple songs," says Monkeyboy1916 on the letter he sent QJ.

However, the recent additions to his mod would make it a farewell to remember. Since the last release, there are a number of new animes added to the pack like Samurai Champloo, Ruronin Kenshin, Ghost in the Shell, Eureka Seven and Cowboy Bebop. The previously included anime packs were given new tracks as well.
