Yes, I know, I already wrote about it, but now I'm through (not at 100% but anyway), so I can make this a real review. But since I already wrote about Red Faction: Guerrilla, I will try to make this review a bit shorter since I can mostly stick with my first impression: The game is a really competent 3rd-person shooter with tons of side-missions and some strong story aspects that really motivate you to finish this game. It never gets in the way of the bombing and shooting action but it just adds the right amount of atmosphere to make you please "just 5 more minutes".

Release Fail
It only took nearly 4 month, but today and according to Eurogamer.net we here in Europe are finally going to receive our dosage of Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix for the PS3. If I remember correctly the Xbox360 version was basically release at the same time in Europe and North America but for some obscure reason the PSN-version never hit the net.
I'm currently at a point where I don't even care anymore who messed that whole affair up: SCEE or Capcom. There is simply no excuse for ignoring one region (which was more or less a 2nd home-market for Sony during the last console generation, thank you) when it comes to any title where the localization should be pretty limited not to mention games as anticipated by fans like SSF2THDR. If the game had been available even in December or January I would have got it without thinking for more than a minute. But now with SF4 being available this Friday in local stores I hardly find any motivation to spend those 15 EUR.

PULSE ... the browser-only show for PSN
Sony seems to be trying really hard to get some original content onto their PSN service. Last summer they launched the Qore magazine for paying subscribers and on the 5th a new show on PSN called "PULSE". It's basically a small preview of what's about to get released in the near future combined with some nice charts, so actually not bad for a corporate advertisement show.
There are some bummers for me, though, as far as I can tell: Not downloadable (just in the browser, I think), no RSS/Atom-feed and not on iTunes. The last one is kind of redundant but the first two really annoy me. I simply don't really enjoy watching shows in a browser but on my iPod on the go or in Quicktime/VLC when on the laptop. So eventually it will probably go the way of Gametrailers for me: Every now and then, but probably not regularly (GT has at least downloadable views but only the smallest versions in the feed).

Prince of Persia
Every once in a while, I get a game more or less by chance. Back when I was a kid this happened quite a lot but now I only very rarely get a game without thinking about it for weeks. So happened just a week ago with Prince of Persia for the Playstation 3. Amazon.co.uk had a sale back then I thought it couldn't be not worth EUR 23. It's not like it got bad reviews or something but its developers definitely made some controversial gameplay decisions.

inFAMOUS
When I first saw some longer gameplay footage of inFamous for the PS3 I thought: "Crackdown + shooting electricity from your hands? I'm in". But inFamous is more than just a simple iteration or only a slight improvement over the two-year-old Xbox360 game. And with its successor still far away, there was nothing holding me back on getting this one.
