Good news readers! The official PlayStation site for the UK has just updated its release calendar for PSP and PS3 titles and we so love to share it with you. And from the look of things, May will be the month to watch out for.

On the PSP side, fans can kiss their waiting woes goodbye as SOCOM: U.S. NAVY SEALs Fireteam Bravo 2 is slated for a May release. Actually, the FPS video game has been available for Continental U.S. ever since November of 2006 though we guess that it's about time for our UK counterparts to join in the fun. The new game features a truck-load of improvements from the last version, among which include multiplayer support.

PS3 fans, on the other hand, get a combo as both Heavenly Sword and Lair were listed. Unlike SOCOM, these PS3 titles haven't been launched anywhere else, so this is a first for them, unless Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) says otherwise. And then there's Lair... need we say more?

Heavenly Sword is a marriage of movie and video game development. It uses real-life actors, including Andy Serkis (a.k.a., Smeagol / Gollum), to make the movements and facial expressions of in-game characters more life-like. The game is about a dying girl who embarks on a last journey to topple the tyrant king of her land.

If you think launch day was good, May is definitely going to be better. As they say, "It's gonna be HUGE!"

As London Games Festival kicked off, one of the most anticipated event in this week-long celebration is the BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) Video Games Awards. For all of you who are not aware, BAFTA is a British organization that has been hosting annual awards shows for film, television, children's film and television, and interactive media since it was founded in 1947. And video games is a category which was first presented in 2003. It aims to highlight the development of the contemporary art form of video games.

For this year, BAFTA Video Games Awards will host yet another memorable event for the gaming world, which is studded with famous faces and character - both from the real and virtual world. Vernon Kay will host the event. Personalities from television, music and media like Nick Rhodes from Duran Duran, John Culshaw, Andy Serkis, Angelica Bell, and Alexander Armstrong, to name a few, will be the attendees and presenters. In addition, the real-life model of famous video games like Lara Croft of Tomb Raider, Mario, Sonic the Hedgehog, and the Star Wars storm troopers will join the celebration.

BAFTA Video Games Awards will commence in red carpet this October 5 at The Roundhouse, Chalk Farm Road, NW1 8EH. Check out the list of nominees here.
