The latest round of update for the US PlayStation Store is now available. This weeks lineup includes the usual game add-ons, a few price drops, three new game demos including the much awaited Ratchet And Clank Future: A Crack In Time, tons of downloadable PSP games and a pair of Oddworld PSone classics as well as some brand new downloadable games for the PS3 and PSP.

The NPD results are out for the month of September, and look at what we have here! A mighty and proud showing of PS3 sales finally taking over the spot beyond the Xbox 360 and the Wii -- for the first time ever. That's not to say that it topped all of the charts, though. A couple hundred thousands more till it successfully topples down the Nintendo DS from its # 1 spot.

For the fifth consecutive month, the US gaming industry experiences a downward slip, this time with a 29% year-over-year decline to US$ 848.9 million. Details on July's NPD results are at the full article.

Despite the lackluster appeal of movie adaptations of video games, super Hollywood producer Jerry Bruckheimer remains positive that one day, they just might get it right. And it won't suck the living daylights out of us anymore.

1UP caught up with Dhani Harrison right at the red carpet back in the Spike VGA and the thenewno2 band member gives us a little tease about the upcoming title featuring The Beatles. Everything's being tightly-guarded as the game is still under development. Video inside.

In a recently concluded interview, Q Entertainment boss Tetsuya Mizuguchi shared some interesting insights into his company's growing repertoire of titles (Rez and Lumines), along with the upcoming Every Extend Extra titles that's hoped to make an equally big splash as Lumines.

In the interview, Mizuguchi discussed some of the more important inspirations for his games, such as his first taste of the Beatles and Pong when he was child. Aside from this, the conversation also drifted into a favorite gaming discussion: female gamers.

As Mizuguchi reflected on why he thinks female gamers tend to prefer puzzle titles:

I think the male and the female… everybody has part male-brain and part female-brain… The ratio is always moving, so some male players still love the puzzle games…But many female players love to play puzzle games. The male player loves to fight each other – it's basic DNA!

Moving on with the interview, Mizuguchi also reiterated on his game's "trippy" feel. Did he mind?

No, that's okay. I’m seriously thinking about what is the future of entertainment via visual or audio or stimulation by good vibration. My DNA of creation is coming from like a "sensorama" concept or games like ELIZA [an early therapist sim] and crazy, experimental games based on new science …so I’m always thinking what should we do, not only for amusement, but to expand our consciousness in different ways so … "trippy"… yeh, that is good.
