Hey remember when Sony announced that they would be relaunching the PlayStation Home with a whole bunch of new features and overall enhancements, making the experience even a little tolerable to try out? Well, this isn’t it. But it does add in some browser tweaks for your clothing and furniture menus as well as the ability to clear the cache on your own.

The new update is going to be called 1.55 and was announced earlier today by the PlayStation Home community manager. Besides the new tweaks to browsing, there were also a number of new costumes, loot and spaces added as well as a game that allows players to record and download custom videos to their hard drive. So… anyone using Home anymore?

Anyone remember playing the hack and slash action of Diablo 2? Well, Berlin develper Bigpoint delivers a very similar game to your web browser. At first I was thinking this is going to be one hellish download, but Drakensang Online is all queued through your web browser! Sure it make take a little time for loading each new environment, but Bigpoint gives you some awesome 3D environments to look at.

Did I mention that this is just the BETA phase? Recently the developers added their PvP feature while extending quest adventures. At the moment you can only choose two classes: dreamweaver (mage) and dragonknight (melee). The classes are based on a leveling system where you can learn new skills at trainers. Trainers charge you to learn new spells or techniques, but the price is well worth the pay.

If you are excited for Diablo 3’s release, check out this game first! Offering very similar gameplay and game mechanics, Drakensang Online will have you playing for hours.

Check out the in-game trailer below, and join the battle (HERE).

Funimation have announced that their release of Darker Than Black: Gemini of the Meteor has been delayed. The second season of Darker Than Black was originally scheduled to be released (dubbed into English) by Funimation on the 18th of October, has now been pushed back to the 8th of November, 2011.

The official reasoning for the delay is the holiday backlog at the presser. So unfortunately Funimation needs that to be resolved before releasing the second season throughout North America.

It is unknown whether this will effect Madman’s Australian release of the second season, only time will tell.

If you shop on Amazon regularly and are planning on picking up Sonic Generations for the PS3, this little bit of news should go far in comforting that wallet a bit more. Much like they did for the console versions of Captain America, Amazon have knocked $12.50 off the price of the upcoming Hedgehog title, putting the price at just $37.49.

I will say it’s odd that the Xbox 360 version doesn’t feature this discount, but this is indeed quite a value for PS3 owners out there.

You can check out Amazon’s official page for the game here and act fast, as this deal might speed away faster than Sonic himself.

Following their announcement of the official release date of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Nintendo of Australia have announced that it will have some company on launch day. Super Mario 3D Land is confirmed to be released along side Skyward Sword on the 24th of November, 2011.

This may come as a puzzling decision to many, as both are big titles for Nintendo. Releasing both titles on the same day may cause the titles to become their own competitors. However it is not a very statement given they are both on entirely different consoles, albeit both Nintendo consoles.

So jump into 3D Land on November 24th with Super Mario 3D Land for the Nintendo 3DS!
