Oh, and a product evaluator thought <em>Alpha Protocol</em> felt "barely RPG" -- final analysis: make it even more <em>Mass Effect-y</em>.<br/><br/>Additionally, the mention of PS2 games as downloadable content on PSN makes us reminisce all the way back to <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://www.joystiq.com/2006/03/13/playstation-3-could-feature-downloadable-psone-ps2-games/">mid-2006</a> when the idea first popped up on our radar --- surely, this isn't why Sony <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://www.joystiq.com/2009/08/20/sony-ps2-back-compat-not-returning-to-ps3-ever/">removed</a> built-in backwards compatibility? And either the person taking minutes was daydreaming or knows something we don't, as reference is made to "Eidos' <em>Batman</em>" featuring "PS3/PSP interoperability" support -- a <em>Batman</em> or related DC Comics PSP game then? Juicer still, that little mention comes right after talk of a project named "Vanquish" <em>and</em> a possible PSP iteration of the currently shelved <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://www.joystiq.com/tag/aliens-colonial-marines"><em>Aliens: Colonial Marines</em></a> that Gearbox Software is working on. Also, Sony is eager to check out that <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://www.joystiq.com/2009/08/19/marvel-not-doing-crappy-movie-games-anymore-says-exec/">hopefully not-so-crappy</a> <em>Thor</em> game soon (suggestion: make it less <em><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://www.joystiq.com/2009/08/19/impressions-iron-man-2/">Iron Man 2</a>-y).</em><br/><br/>The cherry on top comes in the form of what we've been calling around the Joystiq water cooler: "Sonic and the Inverted Castle." Found under the "Sonic Anniversary" subhead, the note taker jots down, "SCEA would love PSN exclusive power ups/different game modes (like <em>Castlevania</em>'s flip it over/backwards)." Actually, we believe that's Missy Elliott who puts the thing down, flips it and reverses it, thank you very much.</div></div><div class="postmeta" %match-tagslug-red%></p><div class="navbar clearfix"><ul><li><a class="related-link" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://www.joystiq.com/2009/09/22/rumor-leaked-minutes-from-sega-sony-meeting-reveal-ps2-and-drea/">Source</a></li><li class="email-this"><a href="/web/20090923030616/http://playstation.joystiq.com/forward/19169942/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a></li><li class="comments"><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://www.joystiq.com/2009/09/22/wtf-fable-characters-in-sonic-racing-and-other-oddities-from-al/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">47 Comments</a></li><li class="sharethis"><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" onclick="return addthis_open(this, '', 'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.joystiq.com%2F2009%2F09%2F22%2Fwtf-fable-characters-in-sonic-racing-and-other-oddities-from-al%2F', 'WTF%3A+Fable+characters+in+Sonic+Racing+and+other+oddities+from+alleged+Sega+leak')" onmouseout="addthis_close()" onclick="return addthis_sendto()">Share</a></li></ul></div></div></div></div><div id="p19169737"><div class="post homepage"><h2 class="posttitle"><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://www.joystiq.com/2009/09/22/rumor-leaked-minutes-from-sega-sony-meeting-reveal-ps2-and-drea/" rel="bookmark"><span id="pt19169737">Rumor: Leaked minutes from Sega/Sony meeting reveal PS2 and Dreamcast on PSN, much more</span></a></h2><p class="byline"><em>by</em> <strong><a href="/web/20090923030616/http://playstation.joystiq.com/bloggers/griffin-mcelroy/">Griffin McElroy</a></strong> <span class="author-feed"><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://www.joystiq.com/bloggers/griffin-mcelroy/rss.xml"> <img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616im_/http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadget.com/media/writer_rss.gif"></a> </span> <span class="post-date"> { Sep 22nd 2009 at 11:20AM } </span></p><div class="postbody" %match-tagslug-red%><div id="pc19169737"><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://www.objectif-sega.com/+Exclu++Strategie+de+SEGA+++l+incroyable+fuite++-news-1637.htm"><img border="1" src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616im_/http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/04/sonicunle.jpg" alt=""/></a></div> Okay, buckle up -- there's a <em>whole lot</em> to take in here. As discovered by French site <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://www.objectif-sega.com/+Exclu++Strategie+de+SEGA+++l+incroyable+fuite++-news-1637.htm">Objectif-SEGA</a>, Sega's public relations FTP site recently got a titillating addition: The alleged minutes from an August 5 meeting between the Hedgehog-centric publisher and Sony Computer Entertainment America. (The document is reproduced in its entirety after the break.)<br/><br/> The biggest, potential news from this document concerns SCEA's general plans for the future. One excerpt from the minutes lists a Spring 2010 launch window for the <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://www.joystiq.com/tag/playstation-motion-controller">PlayStation Motion Controller</a> -- specifically March for Japan. Another noteworthy section mentions a "PS2 emulator for PS3," claiming that "SCEA wants to sell all PS2 titles on PSN." Later in the document, the possibility of Dreamcast titles on PSN is also suggested, in addition to a "Japanese Import" section.<br/> <br/> This leak has an air of credibility due to its appearance on Sega's public FTP media resource center -- however, it's entirely possible that it could have been uploaded to said FTP site by a hack-savvy Dreamcast enthusiast. Maintain your skepticism as you browse the full document.<br/> <br/><strong>Update:</strong> The document has been removed from Sega's FTP site, but we've got further analysis <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://www.joystiq.com/2009/09/22/wtf-fable-characters-in-sonic-racing-and-other-oddities-from-al/">right here!</a><br/><br/> [Via <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=17695529">NeoGAF</a>]</div><p class="continueReading"><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://www.joystiq.com/2009/09/22/rumor-leaked-minutes-from-sega-sony-meeting-reveal-ps2-and-drea/" rel="bookmark">Continued →</a></p></div><div class="postmeta" %match-tagslug-red%></p><div class="navbar clearfix"><ul><li><a class="related-link" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://www.objectif-sega.com/+Exclu++Strategie+de+SEGA+++l+incroyable+fuite++-news-1637.htm">Source</a></li><li class="email-this"><a href="/web/20090923030616/http://playstation.joystiq.com/forward/19169737/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a></li><li class="comments"><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://www.joystiq.com/2009/09/22/rumor-leaked-minutes-from-sega-sony-meeting-reveal-ps2-and-drea/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">132 Comments</a></li><li class="sharethis"><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" onclick="return addthis_open(this, '', 'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.joystiq.com%2F2009%2F09%2F22%2Frumor-leaked-minutes-from-sega-sony-meeting-reveal-ps2-and-drea%2F', 'Rumor%3A+Leaked+minutes+from+Sega%2FSony+meeting+reveal+PS2+and+Dreamcast+on+PSN%2C+much+more')" onmouseout="addthis_close()" onclick="return addthis_sendto()">Share</a></li></ul></div></div></div></div><div class="quigoads"><script type="text/javascript">adsonar_placementId=1359130;adsonar_pid=1079767;adsonar_ps=-1;adsonar_zw=450;adsonar_zh=250;adsonar_jv='ads.adsonar.com';</script><script language="JavaScript" src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616js_/http://js.adsonar.com/js/tw_dfp_adsonar.js"></script></div><div id="p19168544"><div class="post homepage"><h2 class="posttitle"><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://www.joystiq.com/2009/09/21/capcoms-last-ranker-given-its-first-trademark-in-us/" rel="bookmark"><span id="pt19168544">Capcom's 'Last Ranker' given its First Trademark in US</span></a></h2><p class="byline"><em>by</em> <strong><a href="/web/20090923030616/http://playstation.joystiq.com/bloggers/jc-fletcher/">JC Fletcher</a></strong> <span class="author-feed"><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://www.joystiq.com/bloggers/jc-fletcher/rss.xml"> <img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616im_/http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadget.com/media/writer_rss.gif"></a> </span> <span class="post-date"> { Sep 21st 2009 at 5:00PM } </span></p><div class="postbody" %match-tagslug-red%><div id="pc19168544"><center><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://www.siliconera.com/2009/09/21/looks-like-last-ranker-is-going-international/"><img vspace="4" hspace="0" border="1" alt="" src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616im_/http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/09/lastranker0921.jpg"/></a></center><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://www.siliconera.com/2009/09/21/looks-like-last-ranker-is-going-international/">Siliconera</a> got the jump on a likely TGS announcement from Capcom, finding an American trademark for "Last Ranker."

The group aims to track sales of console, PC and mobile phone games. According to NPD's director of corporate marketing David Riley, download charts are needed in order to "provide a no-nonsense view of what's happening on the publisher level, keeping away from the spin, and in some cases, misleading information that often appears on the internet."<br/> <br/> It's certainly a valid goal, but we at the 'Stiq have only one question: How? There are many, many online outlets in the business of selling downloadable titles, ranging from small, independent sites to <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://www.joystiq.com/tag/Steam/">Steam</a> to the digital arms of giants like <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://www.joystiq.com/tag/GameStop/">GameStop</a> and <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://www.joystiq.com/tag/Amazon/">Amazon</a>. Still, if the NPD can wrangle data from enough distributors, and clearly identify those participating, it could easily prove to be a valuable metric for analysts .. and a terrifying one for brick-and-mortar retailers.<br/> <br/> [Original image: <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://www.flickr.com/photos/arthur_chapman/">Arthur Chapman</a>]<br/></div></div><div class="postmeta" %match-tagslug-red%></p><div class="navbar clearfix"><ul><li><a class="related-link" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://www.mcvuk.com/news/35810/First-digital-chart-coming-to-US">Source</a></li><li class="email-this"><a href="/web/20090923030616/http://playstation.joystiq.com/forward/19168650/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a></li><li class="comments"><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://www.joystiq.com/2009/09/21/npd-planning-to-track-sales-of-downloadable-games/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">16 Comments</a></li><li class="sharethis"><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" onclick="return addthis_open(this, '', 'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.joystiq.com%2F2009%2F09%2F21%2Fnpd-planning-to-track-sales-of-downloadable-games%2F', 'NPD+planning+to+track+sales+of+downloadable+games')" onmouseout="addthis_close()" onclick="return addthis_sendto()">Share</a></li></ul></div></div></div></div><div id="p19167880"><div class="post homepage"><h2 class="posttitle"><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://www.joystiq.com/2009/09/21/hands-on-army-of-two-the-40th-day-psp/" rel="bookmark"><span id="pt19167880">Hands-on: Army of Two: The 40th Day (PSP)</span></a></h2><p class="byline"><em>by</em> <strong><a href="/web/20090923030616/http://playstation.joystiq.com/bloggers/randy-nelson/">Randy Nelson</a></strong> <span class="author-feed"><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://www.joystiq.com/bloggers/randy-nelson/rss.xml"> <img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616im_/http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadget.com/media/writer_rss.gif"></a> </span> <span class="post-date"> { Sep 21st 2009 at 4:20PM } </span></p><div class="postbody" %match-tagslug-red%><div id="pc19167880"><div align="center"><img vspace="0" hspace="0" border="1" alt="" src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616im_/http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/09/ao2.psp.092009-580px.jpg"/><br/> <div align="left">When we recently had the opportunity to play EA's version of <em><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://www.joystiq.com/tag/army-of-two-the-40th-day">Army of Two: The 40th Day</a> </em>for PSP, we went into it with the realistic expectation that it would be the console game pared down to accommodate the portable's controls and capabilities.

The co-op mode pits players against the "Mirage Arena," which allows Keyblade-wielders to tackle standalone co-op missions, or set up multiplayer rematches against the core game's toughest bosses. In addition, Mirage Arena visitors will have special protective abilities with which to heal their friends or bolster their defenses. <br/> <br/> It sounds like a pretty interesting feature -- and should placate PSP owners who've been miffed about <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://www.joystiq.com/2009/06/04/hands-on-kingdom-hearts-358-2-days/"><em>358/2 Days</em>' multiplayer mode</a>.

While many would argue that the third-person shooter controls implemented in <em>MGS4</em> are superior than the standard controls of earlier <em>Metal Gear</em> games, Kojima Productions is giving players a choice. The upcoming <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://playstation.joystiq.com/tag/metal-gear-solid-peace-walker"><em>Peace Walker</em></a> will feature both "action type" controls from <em>Portable Ops</em> and "shooter type" controls inspired by <em>MGS4</em>.<br/><br/>We're glad to hear that a new control scheme is being implemented in this second canonical <em>MGS</em> PSP game. The first game had terrific production values, but the controls certainly hampered our enjoyment. We can't wait to try the new Kojima-preferred controls when we get our hands on the <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://www.joystiq.com/2009/09/10/metal-gear-solid-peace-walker-demo-to-be-beamed-out-at-tgs/">downloadable demo</a> at TGS this week.<br/><br/>[Via <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2009/09/20/mgs_peace_walker_update/">Andriasang</a>]</div></div><div class="postmeta" %match-tagslug-red%></p><div class="navbar clearfix"><ul><li><a class="related-link" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://ameblo.jp/kp-blogcast/">Source</a></li><li class="email-this"><a href="/web/20090923030616/http://playstation.joystiq.com/forward/19167927/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a></li><li class="comments"><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://playstation.joystiq.com/2009/09/21/mgs-peace-walker-features-two-control-schemes/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">11 Comments</a></li><li class="sharethis"><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" onclick="return addthis_open(this, '', 'http%3A%2F%2Fplaystation.joystiq.com%2F2009%2F09%2F21%2Fmgs-peace-walker-features-two-control-schemes%2F', 'MGS+Peace+Walker+features+two+control+schemes')" onmouseout="addthis_close()" onclick="return addthis_sendto()">Share</a></li></ul></div></div></div></div><div id="p19167769"><div class="post homepage"><h2 class="posttitle"><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://www.joystiq.com/2009/09/21/video-game-characters-come-to-life-destroy-humanity-in-cloverbr/" rel="bookmark"><span id="pt19167769">Video game characters come to life, destroy humanity in Cloverbrawl</span></a></h2><p class="byline"><em>by</em> <strong><a href="/web/20090923030616/http://playstation.joystiq.com/bloggers/andrew-yoon/">Andrew Yoon</a></strong> <span class="author-feed"><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://www.joystiq.com/bloggers/andrew-yoon/rss.xml"> <img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616im_/http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadget.com/media/writer_rss.gif"></a> </span> <span class="post-date"> { Sep 21st 2009 at 3:00AM } </span></p><div class="postbody" %match-tagslug-red%><div id="pc19167769"><div align="center"><img vspace="4" hspace="0" border="1" src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616im_/http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/09/cloverbrawl580omgthum.jpg" alt=""/></div> What if your favorite video game characters came to life? You'd think it would be a cause for celebration, but <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c65kmeTwvvM"><em>Cloverbrawl</em></a>, the latest film from the geniuses behind <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090923030616/http://www.joystiq.com/2009/04/17/sackboy-comes-to-life-in-littlebigrevenge-machinima/"><em>LittleBigRevenge</em></a>, suggests otherwise. The two-part 20-minute film touts some impressive special effects, splicing in characters from a myriad of games, from <em>Smash Bros</em>, to <em>LocoRoco</em>, to <em>Left 4 Dead</em>, and more.
