The latest round of updates for the European PlayStation Store is now available. This week's content includes the much awaited Marvel vs Capcom 2, the downloadable puzzle game Droplitz, a demo of western-based shooter Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood and the usual array of additional game contents for LittleBigPlanet, Pain, Madden NFL 10, Rock Band, Guitar Hero: World Tour and more. For PSP owners, you can grab the original Patapon game, watch a free trailer of Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker and more.

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.

Get ready for another multiplatform adventure set in a galaxy far, far away. LucasArts has confirmed a new game in the Star Wars universe: Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Republic Heroes. Check out more details and a trailer in the full article.

Yo Joe! Now we're gettting more screens for the upcoming G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, DS, PSP, Wii.) from Electronic Arts. These are taken from the Xbox 360 version of the title, and the graphics appear to be as cool as Snake Eyes. Check 'em out.

And so another classic game is resurrected on your PSPs. Having previously appeared on several systems with the last being Sega Game Gear in 1992, Alien Syndrome will have you running and gunning down (make a wild guess on this -- yep, ya got it) aliens.

Don't expect to see Ricky and Mary though, as Aileen Harding will be featured as the new Earth Command Trooper. Not to worry, we trust she'll be just as kickass, what with 20 different types of weapons to blast the bejeezus outta the 100 alien species you'll encounter in the game.

And to give you a sneak peek at all this action, we're gonna share with you this Alien Blasting gameplay video we scored via GameTrailers which shows us some of the aliens you'll be fighting off -- from the ginormous creepy crawlies (that multiply when blasted) to the three-legged weird-assed creatures.

But anyway, we'll just let you catch all that yourself, just hit play and you're good to go.

Sometimes, it's the simple things that rock. The Swiss-made Sig-550 assault rifle for example swapped out standard issue tin rifle mags for a clear-plastic set, which not only made the gun lighter and more reliable (plastic doesn't dent like tin, hence less jams), but also allowed the trooper using it to just take a glance at the mag to see how much ammo he had left without having to rack the bolt and yank out the mag, as with what Solid had to do in his trailer (You know you want one, Snake).

As far-fetched as it sounds, we were thinking that when we picked up this short video clip cannae45 posted over at youtube. Nothing fancy here - he just remade his PSP UMD door with a viewing port, which allowed the user to get an eyeful of the UMD's metal cradle, and the title of whatever game he pops into the console. Sure, it ain't as pimpin' as a light-up door, or even a PSP port of the PS2 analog stick, but like we said, there's an elegance to subtle but practical mods like these we love. Enjoy the vid.
