Last week’s update was great (Lost Winds: Winter of Melodias!) and while this week’s update may not be nearly as exciting, perhaps in some ways it is even more so.  Why?  Because Zombies Ate My Neighbors is finally available via Virtual Console.

Yes, it is a weird game, but you just don’t see stuff like that made anymore.  Back when Zombies were “real,” man.  Now I just have to wait for them to release Duck Tales.

The third episode of Tales of Monkey Island is finally available, and if you haven’t already played it on PC, you OWE it to yourself to get this version.  Trust me.

Check out a video of Zombies Ate My Neighbors and the full list of releases hitting your Little White Box today.

It’s October 1, and you know what that means, boys and girls!  That’s right!  It’s Sony Thursday!  Every week, boys and girls around the world anxiously await the PSN updates and new releases that actually usually end up arriving pretty late.  But this week isn’t just any Sony Thursday, it’s PSPGo Day, otherwise known as the launch of Sony’s new overpriced version of the PSP!

With the Go’s launch comes a sleighful of updates to PSN, including the 6.10 firmware update for the PSP, which, among other things, will allow you to use a new feature, “SenseMe,” to create different music playlists based on mood.  The update also includes a feature exclusive to the PSPGo, which allows you to use the handheld’s Bluetooth capabilities to link it to your cell phone in order to create a WiFi hotspot.  I guess you can chalk that up as one “bonus” the Go has over the 3000 model (it has to have something, right?).

Why is it that now-a-days no one can release a game that actually works out of the box?  The recent release of EA’s celebrated franchise sequel, The Sims 3, was no different.  After dodging the DRM bullet, the highly anticipated game was riddled with mediocre reviews by disheartened fans.  Among the complaints?  Several bugs that hampered gameplay.  Well, now you can fix that with a new patch.

The patch fixes several issues, including improving the speed of “Speed 2″ and “Speed 3,” which many had complained caused the game to progress agonizingly slow.  Additionally, this fix supposedly enables you to actually use the Turn Story Progression Off button, which means you don’t have to worry about your precious families being deleted by the game’s maliciously cruel AI. Without the patch, apparently this feature doesn’t work, causing you to lose families if you left their household.
